Delicious with unique flavours

Cute little shop at the back of a building with multiple small stores in it. There was a great little patio out back to enjoy the ice cream, as well as seating inside. They had some conventional flavours, but a lot of unique ones too. All of them were very well done.

The service was super friendly, and we were told that everything is made locally either on site or by nearby businesses.

Pros: Unique flavours, Friendly service, Local

Cons: Pricey

Delicious! Go now!

Thoroughly enjoyed our comes. Tried a few flavors before committing to the pistachio almond. So good. And they get an extra 6th star for using reusable tiny spoons for the samples. 💙🌎😍

Seriously amazing

If there is one place I would say is a must go to it’s here. The flavors are unique and delicious and the vegan waffle cone was really tasty too!

Great but expensive ice cream

Via Lactea offer some interesting and delicious flavors. We shared a waffle bowl with 3 scoops including guava and the butterfly pea and matcha cake flavor (the pretty blue and green planet Earth flavor). The only downside is that it is insanely expensive. That one bowl cost about $20 with tax and tip. I don't remember a time when buying ice cream became double digits. It's a pretty inaccessible price for many people and there are cheaper alternatives on the island.

Best Vegan Ice Cream in PR!

The first night, I got a flight. It's the best way to try multiple flavors. I tried Home Planet, Vanilla Bean Caramel, Praline, and Guayaba Panetela. Everything was delicious, but that Guayaba and Vanilla Bean Caramel were my favs. I went back a second time and those 2 in a waffle cone.

They have gluten-free ice cream flavors and waffle cone options. The Dark Matter is the gluten-free cone option. They also had gluten-free brownie bites as a topping option.

It's a small space, so prepare to go elsewhere to enjoy your cold treats when they're busy. It was hella crowded on a weekend evening, but the line goes pretty quickly. When I went during the week it was much less crowded.

Employees were very nice and helpful. It will definitely be a priority stop when I return to SJU. #Veganuary

Cons: Hidden; located in the same building as the salon

Excellent!

As visitors from New York City where we have lots of great vegan ice cream options, we had high expectations and they were absolutely met! Best waffle cone I’ve ever had, and they had a gluten free one too (did not try)! They had a nice mix of classic and unique flavors. Nice creamy texture from the coconut base. Loved the guava panatella!

This place is ✨everything✨

So many fun ice cream flavors to choose from, a few baked goods too, and EVERYTHING is vegan. They were very conscious about asking for allergies. Very lovely, kind, and friendly staff. Honestly just go, everything about this spot is a win. Including the small seating area w great AC. It’s in a building w a coffee shop and a rad gift shop too.

Pros: Ice cream flavors, Inclusive vibes 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈, Seating area

Cons: I wish they had a FL location

What a dream

My boyfriend actually found this place after I’d gotten soft serve down the road at Mü, so I’m pretty much in ice cream heaven here in Santurce. This place is fully vegan and everything I tried was delicious. By far better than any vegan scoops I’ve gotten in shops back in Florida. I’d definitely recommend checking it out. The workers there were super cool, super nice, and had great suggestions.

Pros: All the vegan options, Quality ingredients, DELICIOUS

Cons: None. It’s perfect.
