Vegan Scoops and Sundae

They have vegan scoop available and vegan sundae available. Rotating flavours.

Bit pricy for portions but delicious icecream they get from Chured so incredible.

No vegan soft serve though

Has a vegan scoop!

While not the delicious soft-serve they seem to have a line down the block for, they have an option for non-dairy! Their vegan ice cream is not made in house and looks like it would rotate. I had the Earl grey biscoff flavour and it was just okay, not super flavourful on either side but had a rich creamy base.

Their whole menu is well marked with what add ons are vegan/gf as well!

Dairy Bar is a Halifax summer staple

Dairy Bar always has a vegan flavor available. They now have ice cream from Churned in Dartmouth.

Pros: Local, Several vegan options, Vegan sundae!

Cons: A bit pricey

Delicious vegan options!

Last year, Dairy Bar started bringing in Cashew Bros ice cream for their vegan option and it's been an amazingly delicious partnership! 🤝

The vegan ice cream rotates, and sometimes they have two options rather than just one. As of this past weekend, the options were Matcha (highly recommend you get it with some strawberry sauce, which is also vegan!) and Black Sesame (in their vegan sundae option, with sesame cookies crumbled into it and on top).

2025 Edit: They are now using Churned as their vegan ice cream supplier, but it's just as delicious! Same story as above, though, rotating flavours, two options usually, and sometimes a vegan sundae.

Ice cream!

I love Dairy Bar! Yummy ice creams and sorbets! They're ight by the public gardens so you have a nice park to eat your ice cream in. (Note: Last time I went, only one of two vegan flavours was available.) They've got lots of coffee options with vegan milks available.
Dairy Bar only serves their ice cream in cups, so you're going to be making some waste with the cups (and plastic spoons if you don't have your own spoon).
Staff are friendly and helpful. But there are only a couple of people working at any given time so the line can get long.
There are few options in terms of flavours, usually 2 soft-serve ice creams (not vegan) and 1 or 2 vegan options. Check ahead on their socials to see what the flavours are if you're picky.

Pros: Delicious, Vegan options for ice cream and coffees, Right by the gardens

Cons: Only open seasonally, Might be closed if it's raining, Not low waste :(

Only 1 vegan sorbet option

The only flavor of vegan sorbet they have is cherry lemon, so if you don't like that flavor don't bother.
