Fomu

FoMu is an option for vegan ice cream, using coconut ice cream instead of cows milk. This is probably also a good choice if someone is lactose intolerant. Service: Service was friendly. I asked if strawberry rhubarb was tart and they offered a sample to let me try for myself. For me personally, I probably would have enjoyed strawberry more but they only had strawberry rhubarb. Flavors: The Grasshopper flavor is creamy and also delicious if you like mint ice cream with soft chocolate cookie pieces. It is a very strong flavor and I couldn't tell that it's coconut ice cream at all. The cookie pieces also hide the texture of the coconut ice cream. Honestly, I don't think I could tell that this was not the standard milk ice cream, especially since it was so good I just devoured it. :D I didn't enjoy the vanilla bean at all and didn't finish it. To me, it tasted very strongly of vanilla extract more than the typical vanilla or vanilla bean ice cream flavor. I think I could also tell it is coconut ice cream. I could also tell the ice cream isn't as naturally creamy because it just looks different and less creamy and smooth. Atmosphere: There are just two small tables to sit around and some comfortable cushioned chairs around each.

Some of the best non dairy ice cream I’ve tried. Their flavors are fun and inventive with plenty of options. Some of their textures are better than others - the coffee was a little icy, and the cake batter kind of gluey, but the grasshopper was great. The portions are generous and they let you do split scoops to try more than one flavor per scoop. I had hoped to try their baked goods but they didn’t have any fresh ones out when I visited (the brownies and seven layer bars were still half frozen). The service was not great, the person behind the counter did not seem like they wanted to be there and was super apathetic. It left me with a mixed experience - the ice cream makes me want to go back, but the lack of friendliness definitely doesn’t. I’ll check how JP Licks’ vegan ice creams compare and see if that’s a better experience.

After subtracting dairy from my diet a few years ago, there’s nothing I miss more than ice cream! Thankfully there are so many great vegan/dairy-free alternatives out there today — but even in an increasingly crowded field, FOMU stands out. Amazing texture, vibrant and creative flavors, just so yummy! Highly recommend.

The best ice cream in Boston! The scoops are well priced, I usually get the Mini because I feel like the complexity of the flavors lends itself to smaller portions. The flavors vary with the season, but they do have a few evergreens, like cookies and cream. The cakes are a bit more expensive than the scoops, but also good. Allergens are clearly listed. Oh, and it also happens to be vegan!

That coffee ice cream from FoMu was delicious I definitely am going back to try the other flavors I am interested in and I would most certainly refer many many lactose intolerant folks like myself run yes I said run today to get their ice cream it was out of this world. I felt wonderful inside and out it was invigorating to eat delicious ice cream like this with no uncomfortable side effects only the lactose intolerant community knows what I mean Harley was a great rep and took the time to explain the products and flavors. Tell them Special K sent you.
