The Best Ice Cream in Boston | Eater Boston

"While other shops on this list have vegan options, FoMu centered its entire company around outstanding vegan ice creams. Year-round flavors include strawberry, cookies and cream, and grasshopper pie, but keep an eye on the rotating seasonal specials to try quirky new flavors like the Elvis Pretzley, with banana ice cream, chocolate-covered pretzels, and a peanut butter swirl. Vegan frappes, sundaes, brownies, and cookies are also available at the three shops in the South End, Quincy Market, and Fenway." - Tanya Edwards

New City Microcreamery Lands Whole Foods Distribution Deal - Eater Boston

"Deena Jalal, founder of Boston’s vegan ice cream shop chain Fomu, has teamed up with manufacturer and distributor New England Ice Cream to create a separate vegan frozen dessert company, Sweet Tree Creamery. The five flavors (dark chocolate, chocolate chip cookie dough, and more) are made with a coconut milk base. Distribution has begun to local restaurants and ice cream shops, and quarts will be available at $9.99 apiece at various grocery stores around New England later this summer." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

FoMu Review - Fenway - Boston - The Infatuation

"FoMu is an entirely vegan ice cream spot, with four different locations across the Boston area. While we’ve sometimes found vegan ice cream to have a strange consistency, that’s thankfully not the case here. The “Grasshopper Pie” flavor, which is essentially mint chip, is one of our favorites - though we certainly wouldn’t complain if we happened to be gifted a peanut butter cup ice cream cake." - Joel Ang

I’m not being hyperbolic when I say this is the best ice cream I’m ever had. The flavors are creative but not goofy. The Key Lime Pie is to die for.

The two workers there on 5/31 were super nice. Definitely ask for a sample if you don’t know what you want. I should note that everything is dairy free which was awesome to hear! I got the birthday cake ice cream which was delicious and also a 7 layer bar which was soooooo good and also gluten free. Definitely coming back soon!

They have such creative flavors to enjoy for those who are seeking milk alternative desserts. The person at the counter was super nice and let me try as many flavors as needed to help me make my decision. The store is really big, good for a group hangout or maybe even a small event. Would come back to try other flavors. I got the PB cookie ice cream, it tastes the least like coconut milk (which I don’t mind, but fyi) but I would have also gotten their seasonal chai flavor.

Ice cream was interesting but incredibly sweet and tastes a lot like coconut. One of the priciest ice cream spots Ive certainly had in Boston.

We went here on a Thurs afternoon and the place was empty. Ordered a small (2 scoops) with gummy bear toppings and found the serving very generous- couldn’t finish it. It was great to visit a place with a variety of vegan flavours to try, and a lot of the flavours were gluten free as well.

Excellent vegan ice cream! Better than traditional ice cream in my opinion! I got the cold brew coffee and my husband got chocolate pudding! Both delicious!

A great spot to sit and chat while enjoying good ice cream—my favorite is the birthday cake flavor, as you can see in the picture hehe. It’s comforting to know the food is made with quality ingredients. The cookie is delicious, and the ice cream cake is the best! I’m definitely having it again for my next birthday.

I just moved to the area and I was walking on this hot day with my dog and we ran out of water and I was just in front of your store and decided to go in to see if I could get her a non-dairy ice for the dog. The guy at the counter was the rudest person I have ever laid eyes on. He stated “we don’t allow dogs in here and that you have to leave.” I was surprised and shocked at his behaviour. And surprised as well to the fact that there was “no pets allowed” sign posted. Interestingly enough, he looked just like a miserable old bloke who appeared to have been to the ringer a hundred times. Bad for business and I will never go or give business to any company that does not allow pets into their premises.

Finally - ice cream I can eat! Delicious ! I tried the vanilla ice cream because I was a little nervous about the coconut flavor - having had other coconut based frozen treats many of them are overwhelming with the coconut flavor or aren't soft enough to be considered a fair ice cream replacement. Not only was this delicious but not hard as a rock! Next time I'll try the cookies and cream! Yum!

Really enjoyed the vegan ice cream! The place is super cute and staff is very friendly. My friend who is NOT vegan also enjoyed it. The vibes are exceptional and there is ample seating. I would definitely go back!

It is vegan ice cream that has absolutely no flavor sadly. The peanut butter and the blueberry shortbread had zero taste to it. Not worth another visit.

My black raspberry chunk ice cream was fantastic! I was in disbelief that it was it was vegan because it was sooooo creamy and delicious. Their little wooden spoons are such a nice touch as well. The employee scooping out ice cream was so nice as well. Will definitely be coming back for more!

Whoa! I cannot be any happier with our stop here. I've reached the peak of great choices and hospitality. We had some lovely people helping us out, able to find some good seats to bathe ourselves in great Boston ice cream. CHEERS to them !

I love fomu so much! Typically I prefer soft serve to hard ice cream but theirs is an exception. It's vegan so the base has an underlying coconuty flavor which I love (I think bc they use coconut milk). Definitely an elevated treat. Very creamy despite there being no dairy. The flavors they offer are amazing and so unique. Grasshopper pie, lavender, raspberry crumble, cold brew, etc. The mix ins they use are so yummy and create a great texture. Top tier ice cream. Would reccomend going out of your way to try!

Super cute vibe on the outside and inside. I love how eco friendly they are with the plant based cookies and ice cream. Was a bit expensive for a pint $13, but the quality you get is amazing. I got the birthday cake flavor which was also gluten free and had cake pieces that taste so real! I also really loved their cute leave a note/poem, take a note/poem. The cashier was friendly and patient which I always appreciate. Definantly worth the visit if you're in the area!

I was so happy to see a gluten and dairy free ice cream shop so close to our hotel! And also that a GF/DF ice cream shop existed at all lol We tried two mini scoops, one blueberry shortbread and one pumpkin pie. I wanted to try their birthday cake but they only had pints and I didn't want to eat that much ice cream (I mean, I DID want to but you know, it's not exactly the healthiest choice). We enjoyed both of our selections and appreciated that they weren't too sweet. I also liked the texture, it was more like a pudding or frozen custard consistency as opposed to a hard scoop of ice cream. They also had some tasty looking ice cream cakes and cookie sandwiches that I would have loved to sample but lack of a freezer in my hotel room stopped me :)

Fomu has been on my list for the longest time and I'm so happy I got to try it! I got the pumpkin caramel ice cream sandwich and while the ice cream was good (decent amount of pumpkin flavor), the brown sugar oatmeal cookies were the star of the show.

This is a plant based icecream shop so most of the bases are coconut milk. It's very delicious, creamy, and healthy servings. This was the mini and it was a sweet treat after a meal down the street! You can bring your dogs or other common pets here!

I am such a FOMU fan! I am dairy free and gluten free and this place has the BEST vegan and GF ice cream. I have taken so many other people here that don't have dietary restrictions and they still love the treats. The staff at all the locations I've visited have been kind, patient and helpful. I'm always sad when they've run out of vegan whipped cream at the end of the night, but I understand it's so good people eat it up! My favorite flavor is birthday cake. I highly recommend this spot whether you have dietary restrictions or not.

Grass Hopper Pie * mint ice cream with chocolate cake (very fudgy and moist) Vanilla Bean * has stevia aftertaste Strawberry * slightly sour because real strawberries used George Howell Cold Brew * perfect amount of coffee (not too strong) * everything is vegan!

Finding this little gem was a highlight of my recent time in Boston. Excellent service and delicious treats. Staff were also very helpful when my friend with a nut allergy asked questions. The interior was modern, minimalist, and clean. I'm a little sad there isn't a branch closer to me!

I was skeptical! I am now a devoted fan! A great product. I've now been here a half dozen times and my favorite is easily chocolate pudding. Caramel whoopie is excellent too. I only wish the the key lime pie lost the marshmallows. It is very tasty though. Many choices and free samples freely given.

I came with my husband for some post-dinner dessert. We walked over and ordered two small ice creams in cups. The service was fast - they are efficient with samples. My husband had the chocolate pudding and I got raspberry crumble. The flavors were tasty! My complaint about mine is that there was way too much of the oat crumble. It was almost like having a lot of chewy granola in my ice cream. I prefer a finer, crispier granola. In general, over time you start to notice the coconut flavor of the ice cream base which isn't my favorite. That's the cost of eating vegan ice cream I suppose. We sat inside at a big picnic-style table inside and enjoyed the ambiance for a bit. Would recommend for a small treat if you're nearby, but if there is a J.P. Licks across the street I'd choose that over Fomu any day.

I recently tried FoMu at an event and I was overall impressed. I can't comment on the ambiance, as I didn't get to visit the actual location. From the pictures I've seen, it looks like a pretty modern spot. If the shop is anything like the ice cream pop up I visited, you should have a great experience! Even with a long line, my ice cream was ready to go fairly quickly. The staff was very knowledgeable about the flavors and ingredients, too! As someone who is often looking for a non-dairy option, FoMu is pretty legit. I tried the Cookies 'n Ceeam ice cream, which had a coconut base and was chock full of cookies. I've heard mixed reviews on coconut based ice creams before, but I really enjoyed the flavor. The cookies mixed in were a great bonus. Just a warning, the ice cream tasted very sweet. I hope to visit the actual ice cream shop sometime soon!

This place deserves 10 stars- I shared the brownie sundae with peanut butter ice cream and vegan whipped cream with a friend and we couldn't get over how amazing it was- it was also super big so it's perfect for sharing. We were also surprised at how good the vegan whipped cream was- very close in texture to the real thing. Our only complaint was that they have tiny little cone cups for water, but if you have your own water bottle it's fine. There's lots of seating inside and it's very clean. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often!

There's not a places that have vegan icecream. Especially a place that is fully vegan! It's a heaven for anyone trying be vegan and struggling to cut out icecream. There's a wide variety of flavors and mix ins which makes the decision process extremely hard. We ended up getting the mint chocolate chip icecream. even for the smallest size, they give you a heaping amount. This icecream doesn't taste too coconutty as do many other vegan ice creams. The mint flavor isn't artificial and has a fresh after taste.

Vegan hubby loves Fomu ice cream, and I remembered it tasting good with a nice texture when I ate at the now-closed Allston location. Maybe I chose the wrong flavor here. I had blueberry crumble. The texture was grainy, as if the ice cream had melted and refrozen. Next time, I'll ask for a taste before ordering any Fomu ice cream. Hubby was happy with his 2 scoops.

Stopped in for some frozen dessert to cool us down on a sunny spring afternoon. I ordered the seasonal raspberry ice cream with chocolate shavings and my friend got the George Howell iced coffee. Both were so good. The raspberry with chocolate flakes was light and refreshing. The iced coffee flavor had a sweeter and slightly heavier flavor profile. Both were delicious - would never guess the ice cream is vegan! We also bought 2 cookies and can't wait to sink our teeth into them. Definitely worth a stop in.

Tasty treats that's very allergen friendly. All plant-based and their mix-ins are also gluten free. Quite enjoyed my split scoop of Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie and Fresh Strawberry. Not overly sweet and I rather enjoyed the meltier texture (but that's probably just me). They got really fun flavors, would really have liked to try the Salted Oatmeal Cookie but they don't do that anymore. Plenty of seats inside, very clean and modern design.

I was really interested to try this vegan ice cream shop. I myself am not vegan but my wife is dairy intolerant and finding ice cream she can tolerate that actually tastes good is hard. We came late one night after a show at the Wilbur and found the roomy venue down on Columbus Ave had a little buzz to it. The staff was patient as we tried flavors. My only complaint is she misunderstood my order and served me the very largest size when I asked for the smallest -- so it was not only very expensive but a mountain of ice cream. I know I know I should have said something but it took her forever to scoop it, by then a small line formed, and I didn't want it to go in the trash. I'd definitely go back but avoid the mega-large size.

I did not know it was a plant based icecream when I purchased a small icecream for around $9! The texture was very chalky and powdery, and kinda of reminded me of freezer burned icecream. I got the blueberry lemon and the chocolate custard. The blueberry lemon was better than the chocolate custard, but I did not enjoy either. Both were very thick and sweet, and it stuck to my mouth after eating. I was not able to finish the small. Great efforts towards sustainable icecream but not for me.

I have been craving vegan ice cream for a while. This place did not disappoint. It's delicious! Great service, great selection. The Cookie Monster flavor was amazing. Get the large! It is so aesthetically pleasing in there as well, it gives uppity coffee shop vibes. It smells really nice in there. It's very clean and open. Highly recommend. It was a treat.

Stopped by on a whim just walking around South end in Boston. I think there's a few other locations around. I'm glad they have mini cup sizes because it's actually more filling than you think. The ice cream is very creamy and rich even though it's made with coconut milk and dairy free. There was a lot of choices for flavors and I ended up with the chocolate cookie dough one and there were chunks in every bite! My friend got the strawberry one and she said it is her go-to. The ice cream is very delicious but also very very sweet. I had to chug water afterwards. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. There were a bunch of seating areas inside and you can even sit and people watch on the couches by the windows. The prices aren't cheap but not very steep either. I really enjoyed coming here and trying this place out! Wish I took a picture but I was too excited and ate it all before I could.

Love it here! The best I have ever felt after eating ice cream and if you didn't tell me I would not have even known it was dairy free. Incredible flavor that tastes very fresh and doesn't leave you bloated! Can't wait to go back and try the others very soon

I've been to FoMu a few times and am always underwhelmed. While the ice cream is pretty good, I don't think it's good enough to be as expensive as it is, especially with a lot of other creameries and ice cream manufacturers having vegan options, as well. During my last visit to FoMu, I tried the cookies and cream ice cream and was somewhat disappointed. The taste of coconut in the ice cream overpowered the actual flavor. On the bright side, the texture is fantastic and the ice cream is rich and creamy. The grasshopper pie flavor is incredible. If FoMu were more affordable, I wouldn't hesitate to give 4 or 5 stars. I just don't think the ice cream is special enough to warrant such high prices.

Vegan "ice cream" never tasted this good before. Maybe it was the sweltering July night, and my sore feet from walking all day...but my desert from FoMu really hit the spot. I got the blueberry shortbread "ice cream" and enjoyed every bite. I also love that they are plastic free. The spoons were wooden and the cups were paper.

Great little vegan ice cream shop! I got the cookie dō sundae & my boyfriend got a regular scoop of vanilla bean & cookies and cream ice cream. The cookie dough scoop in the sundae was a splendid addition & I loved the slightly nutty kick it had. I am dairy-free & thoroughly enjoyed it, however I would beware if you are not vegan as it does not taste like dairy ice cream. There is a slight coconut (?) taste to everything we tried but I love coconut so it was no issue. Will definitely be back!

If you don't believe me, check my profile... I love ice cream!! Just last weekend I went on an ice cream tour of northern Connecticut and ate 6 ice creams as part of my (totally scientific) study. To my fellow ice cream lovers out there... FoMu did not disappoint!! I was worried about the dairy free aspect at first because I love dairy, but rest assured that the ice cream is still creamy and delicious. I had the Apple cider donut ice cream, and the flavor was spot on. It had pieces of actual apple cider donuts mixed in, and it brought me right into the fall mood. I would highly recommend this flavor. It's not going to be your cheapest option around but if you are looking for creative flavors, a creamy texture, and all without that post-dairy feeling, FoMu should definitely be on your list!! Interior was clean and bright, and the employees were super nice. All around good experience tonight!

OBSESSED!! i love that every single thing here is plant based so i could enjoy any treat on the menu!! the ambiance inside is nice inside and also it's next to a cute street you can sit on stairs if you want. so many different options on the menu (frappe, smoothies, brownies, ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, etc..) and everything is so so delicious! out of the 6 of us, i was the only vegan but everyone was obsessed!! took off a star because it's so expensive, $6 for a small. i understand it costs more to produce, but the price makes it less accessible to people looking for dairy free ice cream and treats. but overall we love fomu and will def be coming back for those pints to take home:)

I think Fomu is good but overhyped. I tried the blueberry shortbread and people in my party tried the raspberry and strawberry rhubarb flavors. All were strong, natural tasting flavors (I think my favorite was the strawberry). Yes it is vegan ice cream. Even with the rich coconut base, there was a slight iciness that I typically get with nondairy ice creams. Depending on the flavor, the coconut-iness comes out more - for example it was pretty strong in the bluberry but less noticeable in the strawberry and raspberry. I also tasted a sliminess (especially when it started to melt) that typically comes from thickeners, again pretty common in nondairy ice creams. I know people say this place is great regardless of whether you're vegan or not, but I have to disagree. There is definitely a noticeable texture difference compared to regular ice cream.
