"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
"FoMu, the plant-based ice cream company, has three locations across the city. All of them are currently open for takeout and yes, delivery, which might be some of the most positive news we’ve heard in a while (sorry, John Krasinski). Flavors include lemon meringue pie, sweet lavender, peanut butter cookie, and dulce de coconut." - joel ang
"A beloved local vegan ice cream chainlet that provides a genuine and welcome respite from the hall's touristy offerings; locals do patronize it, and everything in the case is solid—ice cream sandwiches are a particularly sturdy, reliable choice." - Erika Adams
"A plant-based ice cream brand serving coconut-milk–based scoops and now appearing as popups and a new stall in a busy market; flavors span birthday cake, blueberry shortbread, key lime pie and a cold-brew coffee flavor made with George Howell coffee that is cold-brewed in-house. Founded by Deena Jalal, the operation complements existing cafes in Fenway, Jamaica Plain and the South End and provides dairy-free options across the city." - Nathan Tavares
"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
