An old school type window service ice cream counter that began offering vegan soft serve in every flavor available (over 20 flavors) in 2019. Wafer and waffle cones are vegan according to staff. Open Mon-Sat 11:00am-8:00pm, Sun 12:00pm-8:00pm. Open hours vary by season.

DELICIOUS & INEXPENSIVE!!!

I heard of this place early in the summer, so we had to check it out… it was super delicious, but we only went for ice cream… obviously we had to go back to try the food, sooo good!! Next we heard they made vegan ice cream cakes, fabulous! We’ve probably been there 5-6 times which is pretty good since we live about 40 minutes away - and the food is VERY affordable too, so we keep going 🤑

Vegan soft serve ice cream!!

EDIT (7/13/24): They now use an oat milk base for their soft serve and it is HEAVENLY!!! Ridiculously creamy and delicious! They still have many flavors and you can do a twist with 2 different flavors. Server told me that all cones, except for waffle cone, are vegan.

Vegan soft serve ice cream is not easy to come by so this is a great find! Mickey's is an old school, drive up, window service type of ice cream parlor. They recently started offering vegan soft serve, using Silk Almond Milk as their base. You can choose from any of their 25 flavors, and if you can't decide on one you can combine flavors in a twist! I had the peanut butter, my wife had a vanilla/chocolate swirl. The ice cream was tasty, cold and refreshing but not the richest/creamiest vegan ice cream I've had. We were told by staff that the waffle and wafer cones are both vegan as well (sugar cone is not)...so no garbage waste other than a napkin if you order a cone!!

Pros: So many different flavors to choose from!, Some vegan food offered as well, Benches, tables with umbrellas, old timey music

Cons: Not a 100% vegan business

10/10!

20 flavors of almond-based soft serve, plus toppings (sauces, oreos, chocolate chips), cones, and coconut whipped cream! Super friendly staff, too.

5 stars, no notes

Fantastic vegan soft serve and so many options. I'm not used to having an actual menu of choices. The staff were also super helpful, and the whole vibe is a retro-modern walk up ice cream joint. Absolutely perfect experience. We'll be back!

Love all the soft serve flavors!

I LOVE that I can get any of the flavors done vegan! Haven’t tried the real food yet, but will this summer. ☀️ 🍦 🍔 (vegan, of course!)

Great taste and knowledgeable staff

This is my favorite local, family run, ice cream shop! The price for their ice cream are so reasonable! The staff is very knowledgeable about what on their menu is vegan or not so I can ask questions about my options and feel confident I am receiving a vegan item.

So Many Options!

I loved having a choice of multiple flavors! I haven’t done that in forever. Staff was super sweet and they even had vegan food options such as chicken strips and burgers!

Have options

They definitely have a fair amount of vegan options but I wasn't really blown away by the taste / quality.

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on Wjst was vegan. Thag always makes me feel more assured that I'm getting vegan and likey no / very low cross contamination.

I'd go back to try soft serve but wasn't overt impressed by the ice cream cake. The portion was huge especially for the price point. The vanilla ice cream was pretty icy texture and wasn't smooth and creamy.

We would love to have you come back and try our almond milk soft serve which will be creamy because it comes out of the machine whereas the ice cream cake is frozen solid so you need to let it sit out to soften as with any ice cream cake. thank you for your patronage.

It sounds to me like you had a pretty positive experience that fell just short of your expectations. The staff were knowledgable and helpful, there were a variety of options, no cross-contamination, large portions at a low price point, and a cute atmosphere.
How does that warrant a 2/5? It doesn't add up and feels unfair to the folks who worked hard to help you.

Amazing

I LOVE this place. My only complaint is that I lived in NY for 4 years without knowing it existed. They have a crazy selection of vegan soft serve and they make cakes!

So many flavors!

We were so surprised to find SO many vegan soft serve flavors!! The falafel were pretty good, and I was happy to find that they offer fried pickles. The employee said that pickles were not vegan since they shared a fryer with non-veg items. That’s not a deal-breaker for me, but they were unable to tell me whether or not the batter was vegan. I can’t wait until they open up again!
This listing shows them as open, but they do close for the winter.

Pros: Lots of options , Vegan food , Good value for $$

Cons: Employees not sure if some items are vegan

Vegan Soft Serve for the win!

They use Almond Milk Swirl which is a supplier of the ice cream and they have 20 options for flavors so it’s awesome that those options exist and they also have 3-4 flavors of Dole Whip. It’s a cool drive up nostalgic place. Noticed that they also order beyond burgers and Falafel for savory items.
I was told that the sprinkles were vegan so I had vanilla chocolate swirl with rainbow sprinkles and the person I was with had the orange creamsicle flavor. Both were tasty and quenched the craving. It’s definitely not the best vegan soft serve I’ve had but it gets an A for effort.

Pros: Tons of vegan flavors , Not expensive
