I Love Stogo!

Last night, I decided to check out a new vegan ice cream place in my neighborhood, the East Village, after finding out that their ice cream is also gluten free! I ordered a cup of chocolate coconut ice cream and I was in heaven! The ice cream tasted like gelato and did not taste dairy-free at all!

As I waited for my ice cream to be scooped, my eyes glanced into a case of cupcakes. I almost fell over when I noticed the sign that said "gluten free." Then I realized that the cupcakes were from Babycakes, a vegan bakery further downtown that also makes some gluten free products. In addition to both vanilla and chocolate and red velvet gluten free cupcakes they also had a gluten free brownie and a selection of gluten free cookies!

Stogo is a gourmet organic dairy-free ice cream parlor at 159 2nd Avenue (entrance on East 10th St. btw. 2nd and 3rd Aves). Their ice cream contains no refined sugars, no animal products, no preservatives, and no artificial flavorings!
