"The Cookie Counter — which rose from a charming VW van in 2014 to its current Phinney Ridge home — announced on Facebook it will close February 29. Along with ice cream shop Frankie & Jo’s, the Cookie Counter has been among the most prominent names in the sugary vegan game around Seattle, serving up popular treats, such as its signature ice cream sandwiches, coconut milk-based sundaes, and even soft serve in rotating flavors like chai and lavender." - Gabe Guarente
