Woah, did I just have a deliscigasm from some local handmade vegan ice cream that didn't cost me a car payment!!
Heavy hitting new creamery right off Franklin Ave bringing some AMAZING flavor to the neighborhood in the height of the summer. Couldn't be any better. Tired of walking to Washington for a $8 scoop of 2 vegan options... ($4 /scoop here) Maple Creamery had a whole spread and the best part is you'd never know it wasn't made with milk or eggs unless you asked!
The owner Collin (sp?) started experimenting with making his own desserts after getting these 'ice cream hangovers' from too much dairy, cane sugars and other products. Perfecting his craft and sharing it with friends encouraged him to get a full blown store. And I couldn't be more grateful
The secret is coconut cream.. a natural thick and tasty byproduct of just one thing... coconuts. This is what I'm talking about, this is what vegan should be, plants first and bringing their beauty to new heights. Love the ethos and story behind this place.
I tried a scoop of the strawberry and pistachio. Creamy, sweet (but not too sugary like syrup), so much flavor and texture. I've never had vegan ice cream like this or even dairy ice cream. And my grandfather has a creamery when I was a baby! The store is pretty small so not much sit down options but there are shade trees nearby and a huge sidewalk to hang on.
Amazing work and persistence to the team, they definitely went through some trials to open this venue. It was empty for so long and now it's time to shine. Congrats! And I will definitely be back!!
