Madagascar Vanilla Restaurants

"With summer winding down, I’ve been getting a lot of requests from people looking to get in their last few frosty licks. Personally I don’t eat a lot of ice cream due to a combination of lactose intolerance and a preference to fill up on the savories. But the places on this list are worth the pain even in the dead of winter. Below are my Top 5 ice cream shops in New York, with a bonus vegan and ice cream sandwich option. Enjoy your sugar coma."

"This is the kind of place vegans usually have to pass by with averted eyes, but Eb Bean remembered us when they built their store. The March night we were there, 2 of 4 vegan flavors had run out (it was late), but that was enough for me to concoct an 8-inch-high swirl of almond-milk-based Madagascar vanilla fro-yo (on some days, their changing menu includes coco-milk frozen custards) sheathed in a non-dairy caramel shell and balanced on a vegan waffle cone. (My flavor choice was conservative, but I'll be back for the Amarena Cherry Lemon coco-milk frozen custard another day Owner Elizabeth Nathan claims she chooses local and organic whenever possible, and select[s] the best tasting ingredients no matter what After a whole day of vegan customers, there were only two non-dairy shell flavors left, but checking today's menu, I see six--raspberry, chocolate, newtella coconut milk, mint magic and peanut butter--wow. For sundae types, there are many toppings, a few labeled V/GF and some where it's obvious--cacao nibs Jacobson salt, Freddy Guys hazelnuts, or organic Oregon blueberries, for example. Of the four seasonal toppings, only one is labeled non-dairy, but maybe the strawberry rhubarb sauce qualifies too. If you aren't sure, the nice scooper will know. Of course you'll want to perfect your creation with non-dairy coconut whipped cream, so just ask. It's fun to watch grownups walk away from the counter with outrageous constructions they'll never dare discuss with their kids. Children are welcome, of course, but as I said, it was late. As fancy as we found the fro-yo, the decor is spare--all white with red accents, except for a light-hearted wall sculpture of what else? Dozens of yogurt fantasies (see photo)!

"All of the ice cream served is homemade! The cremella is delicious the donut is warmed with a crunchy exterior and soft interior. My favorite flavors are matcha green tea and jasmine milk tea."
