Pugnuts is a favorite among locals, and I finally decided to check it out in search of vegan options. I was pleasantly surprised to find a few choices available, and we ultimately selected the blood orange gelato sorbet and coconut ice cream. Both flavors were absolutely delicious. Although we didn't try the almond coconut vegan ice cream, it sounded enticing. The restaurant is conveniently located just a block away from a charming waterfront park, perfect for enjoying your ice cream outdoors. Just keep in mind that the vegan options may not be immediately apparent and may be stored in a cooler towards the back, so don't hesitate to inquire about them.

This is the best gelato I've ever tasted! They also offer fantastic coffee, espresso drinks, and ice cream. The owner is really friendly and welcoming. To top it all off, they even have pre-made doggie dishes featuring peanut butter and bacon bits. I highly recommend this place!

Best ice cream shop! Impossibly good ice cream and gelato. The two young women on duty at the time we were there were doing a great job, often facing long lines of 10-20 people. They kept up a smooth, constant pace, serving everyone quickly withoutlosing any of the personal touch.

Maybe the best ice cream we've ever had. It was such a nice surprise to find this spot. We had Oak Bourbon (the best honestly), strawberry and cream, blackberry and raspberry, and cotton candy all the adults and kids in the house approved of itthoroughly!
