FoMu

"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." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams

"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 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.
