Ice Cream Social was created by a James Beard-awarded chef. So they’re all homemade with attention to flavor detail. And they’ve got an impressive list of vegan flavors on rotation.

Goodbye, dear summer. You moved so swiftly through your weeks. But first, a few more bites… Goodbye, peak season for juicy and tender summer fruits. Soon it’ll be time for apples, pumpkins and figs.
