Vegan Treats: Uncle Louie G's


Now that the weather is warming up we're scoping out places to get cool treats and Uncle Louie G's is looking really good. Although it's technically not in Flatbush, it's conveniently located at Prospect Park South and Vanderbilt. And there's an entrance to the park right across the street so you can take your ice over to the lake.

There are a bunch of Italian ice options and the people who work there can give you a list of the non dairy flavors. In case you're wondering, they are: Lemon, Rainbow, Black Raspberry, Blue, Bubble Gum, Cantaloupe, Cherry, Cotton Candy, Grape, Honeydew, Kiwi, Lime, Mango, Orange, Passion Fruit, Peach, Pineapple, Root Beer, Strawberry, Watermelon, Sugar Free Chocolate, Sugar Free Rainbow, Sugar Free Lemon, and Sugar Free Cherry.

We can vouch for cherry, root beer, and cotton candy. Delicious. Watermelon not so much. We didn't try the sugar free chocolate yet but it's gonna be tough to beat NYC Icy when it comes to vegan chocolate ices. I'm sure Uncle Louie G's is already a favorite with a lot of our readers, anyone have a favorite flavor?

Cantaloupe. Very cantaloupe-y, often with little bits of fruit in it. Yum.

Ever since I tried the Mango Basil at NYCICY last year, I've sworn off of everything but that! That stuff is like crack. Very addictive.
