I was so excited to see the great selection of vegan aromes at Purity ice until I was inquired and learned that none of my own aromes are vegan, let alone vegetarian. they have all the gelatins in them! and ei! they have some soy-based vegan aromes produced by a retailer, but they are very moderate. the mint was very eggy and had a sick color. the keksteig was in order. I think they should make it clear that none of... View all feedback.
The ice cream is soy based except for one almond milk choice. There is such great dairy free ice cream out there… but it’s not here. And it’s very pricey.
Before I went vegan, I was a big fan of Purity Ice Cream and came here all the time. I'm so glad that they have vegan flavors now!! I got a two scoop dish of Triple Threat Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and it was great!! The Triple Threat is a chocolate base with cookie dough and brownie bites. I ended up liking that better than the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!! Purity is pricey, but it's always been that way. Overall, a great, nostalgic visit for me, and a great place to visit for anyone in Ithaca.
Purity recently underwent renovations, and they now serve brunch on weekends and lunch on weekdays. I'm not too much a fan of their vegan sorbet, but the food they serve is very good. They have options of that the average omnivore doesn't typically know of (ie cashew cheese sandwich, butternut squash mock and cheese, vegan caesar salad). The portions are pretty large. I had the bbq tempeh sandwich (sub. lettuce and tomato for slaw) with fries, and it was really good! My only complaint is that the fries were a bit on the salty side, and I was pretty tired afterwards. I am excited to try out vegan pancakes or french toast on a weekend sometime!
The vegan ice cream is made from coconut milk and is more icy than creamy. We tried the cookie dough, vanilla, and fair trade chocolate. All of them were waaaay too sweet for our taste. The good news is they have vegan waffle cones, but overall we were not very impressed.
I was so excited to see the wide range of vegan flavors in Purity ice until I enquired and learned that none of the flavors of Purity are vegan, let alone even vegetarian. They have all gelatin in them! And egg! They have some soy-based vegan flavors produced by a trader, but they are very moderate. The mint was very eggy and had a sick color. The Keksteig was fine. I think they should make it clear that none of their ice cream is vegetarian, as most people would never think about it. Why is there gelatine aka ground animal body parts in ice??
