As opposed to some oat milk ice creams that use diglycerides and guar gum, we believe that if it’s not in your vocabulary, it shouldn’t be in your ice cream. That’s why our vegan oat milk ice cream is made with only quality ingredients using only simple recipes. And made without any junk. No sirree. Not around here.

Eggs. Plenty of ’em. Turns out, when you use twice as many egg yolks as the standard ice cream you have to call it French Ice Cream. Fine by us. Because whether it’s using more eggs or having to legally change our name, we’ll do anything to make the best ice cream on Earth.

You can find us in our scoop shops, grocery stores and via our online store. Our scoop shops are located in New York, New Jersey, and California. We are also opening soon in Pennsylvania and Texas. We are in many major grocery chains such as Whole Foods and Sprouts. Lastly, you can shop online and have our ice cream and vegan ice cream delivered straight to your front door.
