Awan

"This dairy-free shop in West Hollywood serves complex flavors, including saffron pistachio with Medjool dates, spiced persimmon and graham, and blue corn tortilla. A future Larchmont location is coming soon." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes

"Awan serves creamy, plant-based ice cream from a tiny takeout window in West Hollywood. You come to this Indonesian-inspired dessert shop for refreshing flavors like blood orange, lemongrass, and rhubarb pie—not a basic scoop of chocolate on a sugar cone. The vanilla beans here are imported straight from Bali and the strawberries come from renowned farm Harry’s Berries in Oxnard. Expect to walk away holding a beige cup full of something wonderful and unexpected. Our favorite surprise so far? The tortilla flavor, which will leave you wondering how a scoop of vegan ice cream can taste more like a hand-pressed blue corn tortilla than the real thing." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins, jess basser sanders

" Dish: Tortilla Ice Cream Before coming to Awan, we had never used “tortillas” and “ice cream” in the same sentence. Now, we can’t shut up about this dynamic duo. This rich, nutty flavor is so precise, and immediately reminiscent of a hand-pressed blue corn tortilla. It leans savory, but there is a slight sweetness that shows up as a surprising undertone. We were introduced to this ice cream on a random Monday night stroll through West Hollywood, and our freezer has been stocked with a pint ever since. This is just one of the inventive flavors created at this small ice cream window, but we also love the bergamot, chocolate hazelnut, and cara cara flavors. " - nikko duren, kat hong

"Awan makes some of the best ice cream in the city, period, and the fact that their treats are vegan-friendly is just the cherry on top.
