Phenomenal! - Edit
What I love is finding a vegan ice cream parlour. What’s even better is when said vegan ice cream parlour has awesome flavours beyond the typical chocolate or vanilla. Kate’s has phenomenal flavours including one of my favourites, root beer. We went a bit crazy and also had pistachio, and rose cardamom. They were all so creamy and flavourful. No wonder they get awards. This place is awesome.
Read morePros: Fantastic flavours

Thank you for your kind words! So glad you were able to enjoy so many flavors. We really appreciate you stopping by and hope you can come again very soon!

A perfect little treat shop! - Edit
Stumbled upon this all-vegan ice cream store and was gobsmacked- there are so many good vegan ice creams in LA but I'm not aware of a shop that is 100% plant-based. I got a waffle cone with a Peanut Butter Brittle flavor that was marked as a fan favorite, and every part of this thing was delightful. The ice cream base was creamy and sweet, and the proportion of brittle and ice cream was, I thought, perfect. The waffle cone was lightly sweet, with a hint of cinnamon? The whole thing added up to a blissful treat on a hot Sunday afternoon. Can't wait to go back. Shop was clean and bright, and the staff was super sweet and helpful.

A Delightful Treat - Edit
Last night, I had the pleasure of visiting the original location of my favorite vegan ice cream spot, on Mississippi. Having frequented their new shop on 23rd, I was eager to see what this location had to offer.
Read moreFrom the moment I walked in, I questioned if the ice cream case was slightly larger than the one on 23rd. Whether it's true or just my excitement playing tricks on me, the selection appeared slightly more extensive, making the decision even harder – but in the best way possible.
Initially, I was tempted by the intriguing Tahini and Chocolate Chip flavor, but ultimately, I couldn't resist the allure of the Cookie Monster. This vibrant blue ice cream is a bit of an enigma, with subtle undertones of coconut perfectly blended with chunks of rich, gluten-free, chocolate cake (or cookie, as the name suggests?). The flavor is as unique as it is delicious, creating a delightful and indulgent experience.
Opting for an extra small scoop on a sugar cone, I found it to be the perfect treat to end a warm summer day. The ice cream was creamy and luscious, and the sugar cone added just the right amount of sweetness and crunch.

Excellent Ice Cream Taco - Edit
I tried the seasonal ice cream taco here which was delicious. The waffle was nice as well as the chocolate coating. The taco is big enough to split and they were able to cut it in half. The staff are friendly. The interior is modern and well lit. I highly recommend the ice cream taco.

AMAZING - Edit
You must go here if you like ice cream! The place is so cute and they have tons of flavors to choose from! I had to get the choco taco and I have no regrets! The thing was amazing and absolutely massive! We should have split one to be honest! My husband and I loved them and we will be back to try other things next time we are in Portland!

Kate's - Edit
Very bright and colorful interior like most ice cream shops. Long line, but it went by in a decent manner. A good amount of options to choose from. I found the moose tracks to be painfully sweet where it was hurting my teeth, but the marionbery crumble was fantastic. I found the prices to be just a smidge too much, but that's vegan desserts for ya. Nothing really wowed me, but if I was craving ice cream amd happen to be in the area, I would stop by to try something else.
Read morePros: Vegan
Cons: Long line, Tad pricey

Vegan Ice Cream Shop - Edit
We saw a review on YouTube so made the stop. I stuck to traditional mint and chip in a homemade waffle cone. My hubby got the soft peanut butter brittle and chocolate brownie. Texture of temperature of the ice cream were good. The waffle cone would probably have been better dipped because it really didn’t have much flavor in my opinion.
Read moreThe establishment has a lot of potential to cuten up the vibe. It was bland for an ice cream shop as far as decor goes.

Solid Ice Cream - Edit
So, I’m an ice cream snob. I love everything about it and I must say Kate’s delivers. The assortment is fantastic and you can get some foodie to wacky to basic flavors, which is always a win. I will say the price is kind of meh and the texture can be off sometimes, but overall, very solid. I strongly suggest anything with salted caramel. Their recipe is FIRE!
Read morePros: Assortment of flavors, Welcoming staff, Allowed samples before you buy.
Cons: Price point is a little steep, Texture is sometimes off.

Good Ice Cream with a long line in the summer - Edit
I got an ice cream topped brownie which was alright. The ice cream itself was very good I just did not care for the brownie. It was very dry and almost chalky. It being gluten free is no excuse though as I have had many amazing gf sweets. Check it out if you're in the area, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way for it.
Read morePros: Cute interior, Lots of ice cream flavors
Cons: baked goods were very dry
KatesIceCream
Hi! Thanks for coming in. So glad you liked our flavors! We are currently reworking our brownie recipe to make it as delicious as possible. So sorry you were disappointed in it, but hopefully you come back for our flavors and give our new brownies a try when they come out!

innovative & creative all vegan ice cream - Edit
I recently went to Kate's with my beloved. Kudo's for being all vegan. I got the Cookie Monster and orange creamsicle in a waffle cone.
Read moreMy beloved got salted peanut butter brittle and marionberry cobbler which were the two most popular flavors. She thought the ice cream was a bit sweet.
I thought mine was quite good. I especially enjoyed the orange creamsicle. I actually enjoyed the cashew based DIY cookies and cream in Oakland better along with young coconut flavor coconut based ice cream in Oakland as well.
Not to compare yet very solid here and innovative/creative flavors that are all vegan. Worth checking out!
Ambiance was simple and just fine.
Mississippi can get busy so be patient when looking for parking.
Pros: innovative & creative all vegan ice cream

You won't miss the dairy! - Edit
I've been vegan since 2012, so maybe it's been too long since I have last had dairy ice cream, but I am telling you, this is just like any ice cream you have had, only 100 times better. You can test the flavours first. The atmosphere is adorable. Go there now.

Decent but Long Line - Edit
We tried their peach crisp, which is a seasonal flavor, and their almond joy. They’re nice about letting you try to flavors per person. I feel like the peach needed more peach flavor, maybe there was some banana in there competing with it.  I had also tried. The Marion berry crumble but the parts that didn’t have any Marion berry or crumble tasted like a very plain, soy based vanilla.

Top notch plant-based ice cream - Edit
This place is up there with Frankie & Jo's in Seattle for me - excellent quality and love the flavors. My husband and I both picked the same two flavors at Kate's: Pistachio and Peanut Butter Brickle. I had mine in a cup, while he had a cone. The ice cream was rich and flavorful, and we want to try more of their flavors. They allowed our dog inside, although we ended up sitting on a bench on the sidewalk to eat.

Gluten-free waffle cone, rose cardamom ice cream - Edit
Kate's Ice Cream is so great, and everything is gluten-free! The Rosewater Cardamom Almond flavor is definitely my new favorite ice cream flavor of all time. I also tried the Pistachio flavor and the Marionberry Cobbler. Both were fantastic. The gluten-free waffle cone was super satisfying. They even have gluten-free fudge brownies and chocolate chip cookies. #Veganuary
