Great Ice Cream, Not the Best Timing - Edit
I was really looking forward to visiting a fully vegan ice cream shop – always a highlight when traveling. Unfortunately, the day we visited, there was a market taking place right in front of the store. The entire square was packed with stands and people, and as a result, the ice cream shop was completely crowded, both inside and out. There was a long queue, and all seating was taken. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed by the volume of customers, which is totally understandable, but it made the atmosphere feel quite hectic.
Read moreTo make things worse, the person in front of us in line was complaining loudly about something, and it slowed down the entire process. Of course, this isn’t the staff’s fault – it just added some tension to the experience and made me want to order quickly and leave.
I ended up choosing one scoop of pistachio and one of cheesecake. Both were tasty, and the pistachio especially was rich, nutty, and super creamy. I probably would have tried a waffle or another flavor if the vibe hadn’t been so stressful, but under the circumstances, I kept it simple.
What I really appreciated was how subtly the place communicates that it’s fully plant-based. You see little “plant-based” signs here and there, but nothing in-your-face. It gave me the impression that many customers might not even realize it’s 100% vegan – which I think is really cool. It normalizes plant-based eating without making it a big deal.
There were so many unique and exciting flavors on the menu – I honestly wanted to try everything. The price per scoop was €3.80, which is definitely on the higher side, but for such high quality and artisan craftsmanship, I’m more than happy to pay it.
I would definitely come back another time, ideally on a quieter day, to enjoy the full experience in a more relaxed setting. The potential is absolutely there, and I’m glad a place like this exists.

Good morning, thank you so much for your kind feedback and that you decided to wait, even though it was really busy. Market days can be very busy, even when we are with many staff. So thank you for your patience. We are truly happy that you enjoyed our ice cream. We prefer to work with biological ingredients and everything is made from scratch so we control the quality of our products from start to finish. It is also true that we have many customers who do not realise everything is plantbased. The best way to convince people that plantbased food is delicious, is by serving them delicious plantbased food😄 So thank you once more for your visit and we look forward to welcoming you back! Kind regards, Hilde

Wow - that was delicious - Edit
I had there today the most amazing vegan ice cream ever. They not only serve sorbet as vegan options like other stores but have the real good stuff like Biscoffs, Amarena, Cheesecake or Stracciatella, just to name some.
Read moreThe staff was very friendly, helpful and multi-lingual.
The ice cream is a little bit pricey but worth every cent!
If you are in Antwerp it is a must to go. Enjoy!

Good evening Kathie, thank you so much for your kind feedback and the 5 stars you have given us.

Many of the ingredients we use are biological and we do not use colorants or artificial flavours. Warm regards and we look forward to welcoming you back, Hilde

Fabulous ice and waffles! - Edit

Delicious! - Edit
First time in my life I could finally choose cheesecake icecream. Also mango and chocolate. There were more choices, definitely trying them when we'll return someday.
Read moreTerrace was full, so we enjoyed it across the street in the shade.
Cheesecake was creamy and delicious, mango tasted like a fresh mango and chocolate was also great.
Had to wait a while, since there was a queue, but totally understand the reason. 😊

The Best Ice Cream in Antwerp - Edit
That´s just the most delicious and high quality gelato you ever taste. The ingredients are carefully selected by the owner who is an expert in the craft of making gelatos. The staff is very friendly and the place is not full of tourists. I am in love for the Pistachio flavor, you will feel in Italian Gelateria for sure.

Amazing vegan waffles & affogato! - Edit
A 100% vegan place. I've tried the Luikse waffle and affogato and it was perfect. The waffle was fresh and a good size, the ice cream in the affogato really tasted like an ice cream with a very silky texture. If you are in Antwerpen please come and take a visit the owners are a very sweet couple (a Belgium womanand a Portuguese man) and they are going to welcome you with a very big smile!

Good evening, I am truly happy you enjoyed our ice cream and appreciated the quality of the product. I am surprised however that you find our ice cream expensive. Our prices are the same as in other real gelaterias in Antwerp. Some are even more expensive. And they use cow milk. Our ingredients are vegan, mainly biological and everything is made in-house. We only work with real, quality ingredients. No colourants or artificial flavour enhancers. Our scoops are very generous and you can choose 2 flavours in 1 scoop. If you drink a beer or a glass of wine in any cafe, you easily pay 5 or 6 euro. And all they have to do is open the bottle and pour a glass. But we make that beer, that wine first, in-house, and with quality ingredients.
Read moreAs far as the difference is concerned between take-away and on-site consumption: those are Belgian taxes and we have no control over those. The difference is huge unfortunately. Kind regards, Hilde
