Best Sorbet Around

I’ve had friends rave about Southern Custard so I went to check it out.

I think things have changed since the last review added because I was able to get the dairy-free apple sorbet as a parlor experience. Most of the toppings are not vegan, but the actual sorbet was easily the best sorbet I’ve had in ages. It was light and refreshing and didn’t feel like a cop-out vegan option.

The menu is extremely small - usually only 3-4 flavors, but they did have two large freezers of additional to-go flavors. I did not check for vegan options in there though. The place was packed and fun. It’s a great upscale, neighborhood ice cream parlor.

Vegan community is not a target audience

I found this place bc of happy cow!
Went there with family. Walked in and realized it’s not a place that includes vegans as a target audience. The vegan options, which consisted of dairy-free cookies and cream (made with oat milk) and mango sorbet, were in half-pint take out containers in a freezer by the cashier station.
I’m glad the options are there, it’s just just important to know that it’s not set up so that I can easily order the vegan options on a cone like my non-vegan family members did for their standard vanilla and chocolate custard.

Bottom line is that the parlor experience is not set up to include vegans.

That said, I got the cookies and cream and it was indeed tasty. It has Oreos mixed in as the cookies.

Pros: Vegan options are present and tasty

Cons: Vegan options not included in parlor experience.
