No Dairy Queen


Every once in awhile I will be driving in the beautiful 818 and a newfound spot will catch my eye. (Note: this is very rare, because duh - I know everything.)

So when I spotted KindKreme on Ventura Boulvard the other day, I figured it was just another Pinkberry knock off. Once I took a closer look I couldn't believe my judgmental eyes... was I really seeing a vegan, raw, organic dessert shop in the Valley?! I just HAD to pull over and check this place out.

I know what you are thinking. Vegan ice cream = barf. You must trust me on the deliciousness of this place! Not only does KindKreme not taste like ass, but they have some of the most incredible flavor options. (Ginger Basil, Beet Ginger Grapefruit, Loquat Carrot Lemon) The Dirty Chai instantly caught my eye (intentional rhyme) and it did not disappoint. What makes it dirty you ask? Espresso:) I truly did not miss the dairy one bit. (As you know by my previous cheese post- dairy and I are pretty tight.)

They also offer Banana Splits, Sundaes, Smoothies, Cold Pressed Coffees, Fresh Juices, and Shakes made with their house made almond milk. (I mean, house made almond milk!? Can this place get anymore amazing?)
Topping options include: Fresh Seasonal Fruit, Raw Caramel Syrup, Dagoba Chocolate Chips, Newman O's & Raw Cacao Nibs. Everything at Kindkreme is hand crafted daily in small batches in their on site kitchen.

I am so grateful to have found this non dairy frozen heaven before the valley summer heat kicks in!

The Valley is just too good--- instead of calling certain places "The Best" I'm going to just keep you in the loop and let you know what you shouldn't be missing out on. Good? Good.
