No Go on Oatmilk Based Ice Cream

So although it is mixed with coconut milk…oat milk is a part of the base.

Spiced Pear Sorbet is pretty much the only option and there’s literally nothing to add to it because it’s water based

Updated from previous review on 2025-12-28

Pros: Not too far from main road, Hours, Prompt services

Cons: Limited flavors, Poor parking , No sampling available

Damn.

This place was amazing. Been a long time since I’ve had proper vegan soft serve. And all the omnivores I was with agreed that the vegan matcha was the best. Went here two times in two days. It’s a bit expensive but they pay their workers a living wage and healthcare.

Best Ice Cream Sandwich!

This place was a go to for me before becoming vegan and I am happy to report nothing has changed! They consistently offer multiple vegan soft serve flavors and most of their toppings (including hardshells) are vegan! If you are looking to splurge on a great vegan sweet treat get the Crunchy Sammie. It’s a vanilla soft serve between two sugar cookies that are half dipped in dark chocolate and their signature cornflake streusel. And it’s vegan!! Not to mention completely delicious. They also offer specialty Sammie flavors that are often vegan too. I will definitely be trying the rest of the vegan Sammie flavors as I go back. My one note: since they offer vegan oatmilk vanilla soft serve and a root beer float on their menu I wish they would add coke floats so I could get a vegan coke float too, so Big Softie if you can hear me please add coke floats to your menu!
And as always a sweet treat from big softie always wins sydVfood😄

Pros: So many vegan options!, Specialty Vegan Sweet Treats, Well thought out vegan flavors!

Cons: No Coke Floats :(

So good!

I was so excited to try this place. Numerous vegan options, including both chocolate and vanilla oat milk ice cream. They even have vegan hard shell, just like the magic shell of my youth! And so many vegan toppings! I got peanut crunch. So good. Went twice in one week!

Pros: Chocolate oat milk ice cream! , Vegan hard shell! , So many vegan toppings!

Vegan Soft Serve Ice Cream

We are back to Big Softie and as always, still love it so much. The vegan, non-dairy flavors they have are delicious soft serves. You typically don’t find that but it’ll still even be good for the non-vegan folks!!!

Pros: Soft serve, Quick, Lots of options

Delicious soft serve

I can here on a Friday night close to 9, and there was a line that wrapped around the block. Luckily, it did move pretty quickly. There are a lot of vegan options. They had two vegan soft serve flavors, oat milk vanilla and matcha, and two vegan sorbets, pineapple and strawberry. I got a petite swirl of the vanilla and matcha with a chocolate hardshell and strawberry cheesecake crumbles on a cake cone. It came out to $7. It was delicious. My one gripe is that the matcha was identical to the vanilla flavor-wise.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Expensive , Can be a line out the door on the weekend, Matcha didn't taste like matcha

Lots of vegan flavors

They have expanded the vegan flavors to four. They have twice as many vegan flavors than dairy! As of august 2023 they are oat vanilla, matcha, cantaloupe sorbet, and lavender lemonade. I’ve tried all but the sorbet and they’re great.

The toppings are mostly vegan and delicious. The cornflake streusel is amazing. Sometimes the line gets long but it moves fast.

Pros: Variety of flavors, Delicious toppings, Cute outdoor seating in the back

Cons: Pricey, Sometimes long lines

Vegan ice cream options!

Multiple vegan soft serve flavor options. All but one topping is vegan too. Love to see this! The oat milk soft serve was yummy but a little more on the icy side. Their homemade sprinkles are also great!

Vegan soft serve with a hard shell… hell yeah!

I got their vegan vanilla oat milk soft serve on a cake cone with a hard chocolate shell and corn flake streusel and holy moly what a great combo! I also tried my partner’s Thai iced tea vegan soft serve and that was incredibly flavorful as well.

Pros: Many vegan toppings, Vegan hard shell!, House-made flavors

Cons: Formula tends toward less fatty

Vegan soft serve!

I had missed DQ dip cones so much, and I swear their stuff is even better. Plus their staff is all very sweet and patient.

Pros: Multiple vegan options, Inclusive staff, Locally owned small business

Cons: Kind of expensive

Classic Vanilla Ice Cream

I enjoy the oat milk ice cream but I got the chocolate hardshell and was more bitter than I expected. I wasn't a fan of that but I would like to try the strawberry hardshell next!

Delish!

Came on a warm, sunny Sunday around 1:30. We got the masala chai (limited time vegan special) with cornflake streusel and a vegan root beer float. Both were so yummy! The chai was such a great, subtle favor, and a classic root beer float always hits the spot.

They regularly have a vegan vanilla and strawberry flavor, then lots of different topics with about half (if not more) being vegan. Then both of their float options can be made with vegan vanilla.

Overall, highly recommend when you need an ice cream fix!

Yummy on Georgia ave.

I enjoyed the ice cream. I didn’t like the coconut oil they use to make the topping but over all good.

Pros: Great ice cream , Topping choices , Quick service

Cons: Not many ice cream choices , I don’t like coconuts at the topping use coconut, Waiting area not shaded

Great!

They only have oat mylk as their non-dairy option but it is delicious. There are many vegan toppings. It is definitely worth a try!
