I stopped by with a few of my friends over this past weekend and overall had a great experience! I was a little hesitant at first but all of the ice cream flavors were so delicious! On top of that the owner was super friendly and patient as I was trying to decide which flavor to get. The ambiance is also super cute with some outdoor seating. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to ice cream places! read more

Great flavors, great energy, great experience all around. Had the chance to chop it up with the owner, Dwight....good conversation, real presence, just an all-around solid vibe. I had two scoops, sat and enjoyed every bite, then ended up grabbing two pints to take home... because yeah, it was that good. The space feels warm and inviting from the moment you walk in, and the energy carries all the way through. I'm already looking forward to coming back once they move around the corner and up the street .....more room, more space to hang, and more opportunities to stop, talk, and really enjoy those incredible vegan ice cream flavors. This is more than just ice cream.....it's an experience!!!! read more

Cajou Creamery - I've cream - Vegan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Had an awesome experience at this plant based ice cream shop. The space is so boutique and cute, with plants and art everywhere. The owner, Dwight, was super welcoming and informative. My partner and I brought friends visiting from out of town and he made the visit a ton of fun for all of us. We tried almost all of the flavors on display and decided on pints of rum raisin and raspberry cheesecake, while our friends got parfaits with other flavors. We all thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream. I've been bummed before by plant based ice creams that taste nothing like the real thing but you legit would not know these were dairy free unless someone told you! I will be back for sure! read more

This place is so cozy inside. Well decorated. The plants deserve a standing ovation! The blueberry cheesecake was phenomenal. Highly recommend going here. I haven't stopped thinking about it since we left. My son devoured the half of mine I couldn't eat. The owner was very kind and helpful. One of the best places I've been to since moving here read more

Great gelato. Unbelievable texture and taste! I'll be back. Very nice owner as well. .

Ten out of ten! FINALLY made it to THE Cajou Creamery. Last time, I was in the area was on a day that it was closed. The shop is so cute! Very nicely designed. Clean. And they had a few places to sit outside on a nice day. I was greeted by the owner who told me that all the ice cream was gluten free. Just not the sandwiches or the cones. That's fine by me. I'm not used to having so many options. Usually the gluten and dairy free option is singular option I got the flight which was $14 with the blueberry cheesecake, horchata, and baklava. I absolutely LOVE the blueberry cheesecake and baklava. In fact I ate them together. They pair very nicely. Wasn't such a fan of the horchata but it was still fine. I got a sample of the soursop which was great but didn't add it to my flight. read more

This is probably one of if not the best ice cream here in Baltimore. Not only are the flavors amazing, the owner is so genuine and it felt more like an experience than just ordering ice cream. He let us try every flavor and made us try more after. 10/10 read more

Delicious ice cream and friendly vibes! We got the baklava and Persian dream flavors. The Persian dream was outstanding and unique.

So years ago there was an Elite Week fro Cajou Creamery that lined up nicely with festive times. My sister and her vegan family were all around, and we decided to go collectively. Having access to some of their ice cream flavors in Whole Foods, I didn't go back to their brick-and-mortar until this year. I could never find their Sweet Potato Pie in stores near me, so I finally had to go back and get it after enjoying it so much before. It was as amazing as I remember. And the owner gave me the genius idea of letting it melt a little and using it as a French Toast stuffing. Do you know how delicious that is?! Not long after this experience, they posted on social media about being in danger of closing and the community was not having it. I couldn't make it out in time but it was amazing to see so many people coming out to support them. Proud! I returned recently to mass stock for the holidays and gifts, and conveniently enough, they have some new amazing flavors for the season that I couldn't wait to experience: Spiced Pear w/ Brandy caramel and Jamaican Black Cake. FAN.TASTIC. I really wish there was one closer to home, but this is one that I hope stays around for a long time. Of all the ice cream I have had (dairy or vegan), they're easily in my top 3. I thought sweet potato pie was their peak... but these seasonal flavors... wow. Til next time! read more

Cajou is a plant based ice cream shop owned by Dwight Campbell and Nicole Foster. Dwight is normally working in store daily; he is cordial, customer centric and super knowledgeable. The ambience is quaint with modern touches. Cajou sells clean products that are made fresh daily, with (ingredient) labels that a 5 year old could understand. Most notably, they have flavored ice cream cones (green tea matcha, chocolate, etc). The brand integrity and a sense of community shines with every scoop given that five percent of each sell goes to support local food justice initiatives. If you want to support this cause but can't make it into the retail store, Cajou creamery is located in the aisles of Whole Foods across the country (as well as Slutty Vegan burger spot). Cajou is a luxury ice cream experience and I can't wait to return to grab ice cream and listen to all things Baltimore. read more

I believe I have said it before however again for short measure, I LOVE CAJOU CREAMERY. What is not to love and I am so glad I don't have a cashew allergy because I would be missing out on some delectable ice creamery dreamery! From the owner Dwight's stellar customer service to the ice cream there is not much more to say. I so enjoy that when in town there are always new flavors to taste, try and indulge without guilt. During this visit, BLACK CAKE (IYKYK), COQUITO (IYKYK) and SPICED PEAR w/ BRANDY CARAMEL... So, of course, came with a cooler, dry ice and took all 3 home for the road trip! read more

Finally made it to Cajou. It's a cozy ice cream shop with enough standing room for a few patrons. I ordered a double scoop of blueberry cheesecake and Jamaican rum raisin on a black cocoa cone. The raisins had a very potent rum flavor but overall I enjoyed my cone. I was really hoping to try the sweet potato flavor but it was only available by the pint. read more

Cajou Creamery - Blueberry cheesecake and Jamaican rum raisin on a Black cocoa cone. - Vegan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Truly the nicest human running this ice cream shop. And the ice cream is so tasty!! We walked in in a Sunday afternoon and no one else was in the cozy store, so we asked if we could taste every flavor. I'm vegan and from seattle, so felt like this might be my only chance. All their ice cream is vegan (cashew based), soy free, gluten free, and in an effort to keep sugars low, sweetened with dates. They obliged, and as we were tasting another customer walked in who joined in on the tasting party. Soon there were a handful more people. The baklava flavor was my favorite, the chunky monkey flavor had the perfect amount of banana flavor ("because we use real banana"), and the kulfi was a cardamom treat. The sweet potato pie was really impressive (because his son challenged him to make it into an ice cream flavor) and the horchata was the first flavor because his son had food intolerances as a baby. There were three or four flavors of cones you could get, and little premade ice cream sandwiches. If you can't make it to the scoop shop, this ice cream is available in Whole Foods in the wider area, and will be available for nationwide shipping in just a few weeks! I'm going to go into my local store and request that they carry it. Really cute shop, great ice cream, lovey humans. Would recommend! read more

I am so happy that I have found this place! As an ice cream connoisseur gone vegan-ish... I have had my heart broken by lots of nondairy options! But I have met the Cajou of my dreams! I had to taste almost every option available and u will understand why when you take a look at those options! 1. The store is amazing. Small and cozy - feels like you walked into a Pinterest dream! 2. The owner was the cashier! Whaaaaaa!? Please take a moment to share a smile and say thank you for the best service ever these days. I felt as if I was invited over to my BFFs house who happens to make amazing treats! 3. Flavor! This ice cream is definite creamy, bright, decadent and better than .... Anything ever. And the matcha cone was crunchy and fresh! read more

I had an amazing visit to Cajou Creamery which is a black owned and all vegan business. I was so happy that they had a consistent line for ice cream while I was there. People in Baltimore can definitely appreciate a dairy free option! The inside of Cajou Creamery is small. I love that they had cute jewelry for sale as well as of course their ice cream. There is a little bit of seating inside the scoop shop but it is definitely easier to take your ice cream outside to enjoy. Cajou has so many unique flavors like Baklava and Blueberry Cheesecake. They allow you to sample as many flavors as you like to make sure you get a scoop you love. All their ice creams are cashew based and wonderfully creamy. My favorite thing at Cajou Creamery is they offer quite a few toppings for free! You can get waffle cone pieces and sprinkles added to your scoop for no additional cost! That right there puts them at the top of my list for scoop shops. I loved getting my scoop decked out in rainbow sprinkles. I ordered their flavor with sunbutter cups and loved the sweet and saltiness from the sweet ice cream base and the salty sunbutter. It was absolutely delicious! I have also tried their blueberry cheesecake and baklava and enjoyed those flavors as well. The blueberry one has so many full sized blueberries mixed in and the baklava has a wonderful amount of baklava bits blended in. This business has a great ratio of ice cream base to toppings mixed in for each of their flavors. I am very happy this all vegan ice cream spot exists and will definitely be returning to try more of their flavors! read more

There's a lot of poorly done vegan ice cream out there. Due to that, I just don't eat much. But when I find a place that does it right, you best believe I will be frequenting there a lot. Cajou Creamery does it right! As the name implies, Cajou Creamery makes their ice cream from cashews. They don't stick to just the basics when it comes to flavors. A visit to their small shop will introduce you to all kinds of rotating flavor gems. Flavors such as Blueberry Cheesecake, Horchata, Baklava, Sweet Potato Pie, Black Cherry Blossom, Mango and Bourbon Pecan just to name a few. Cajou Creamery also offers a variety of cones. Typically, if I'm going to do a cone, i do the matcha one (who says no to green ice cream cones). But my favorite way to enjoy Cajou ice cream is between two cookies. I mean fresh vegan cookies with adventurous flavors of vegan ice cream between them? Sign. Me. Up. Cajou Creamery is an incredible Black owned and Woman owned vegan ice cream spot in Baltimore. If you are anywhere within the confines of Baltimore (and by that I mean within 50 miles of the city) I behoove you to pay this shop a visit. read more

Stumbled upon this place going to another business and it being plant-based caught our eyes! It's a small shop, but very welcoming and well decorated.

Next time I might just have to go for a flight of 6 flavors! read more

Vegan's can scream for ICE CREAM now too!! No gluten, No soy, No dairy and No artificial ANYTHING!!!! If you are wondering it's cashew based ice cream. This place is a gem! The wife is so patience and welcoming! I have now met the wife, husband and their son. All great people. When you go in don't be afraid to ask for samples of any of the flavors. They have small metal spoons they use to give you the sample and a bucket to put them in after you try each flavor. Thus far I have NOT found a flavor that I don't like. I am in love with the cookies and cream flavor with the cookie dough inside but unfortunately they don't have that one offered as a pint. The husband will tell you he will not scoop from the options if it's not already an option for a pint. Hopefully they will offer that one soon, because that would be my top buyer. I have tried horchata, baklava, kulfi, cookies and cream, guava cheesecake, passion fruit, dulce de leche, blueberry cheesecake, sweet potato and Mexican cacao. They were all delicious and one will please at least one person in your group. They do have other flavors that I haven't tried. Can't forget you can add toppings onto the ice cream as well. I know one is the cookies crumble and that's what I order....because it's so delicious!! Oooh and they offer parfait, smoothies and coffee! Haven't tried any of them but I bet they are delicious too! All in all I will definitely go back! read more

Favorites were Horchata and oatmeal cranberry. I also learned the pints are available in some Whole Foods and Foxtrot, which is great for me since I'm not based out of Baltimore. Can't wait to bring my allergen ridden family! This is a game changer. read more

I've been waiting so long to come here. I work long hours so normally when I get off of work I'm unable to make it. Today was the day lol. It's located on Howard street but I was lucky enough to find parking right in front. The owner/manager (?) was nice and friendly. It's rather small inside but they do have outdoor shaded seating in front. I had the Horchata & Baklava from Wholefoods so I tried the Thai Basil Blackberry (I may be messing the name up) and I also had the Jamaican Run Raisin. Please know that it's a real rum taste. I think the raisins are soaked in it lol so if you don't drink or don't like rum you may want to try a different flavor. This ice cream was worth the wait and the drive! So delicious. read more

Before moving to, or visiting, any city I check out my trusty friend IG to see the best places to check out. I've seen Cajou on plenty of pages and in a few group chats so I knew I had to swing by. So when a friend who's vegan come up for a visit, I knew it was time. My only regret, not going sooner. It's in a small space but it's bursting with good energy and wonderful smelling vegan goodness. The gentleman who helped us was funny and made getting ice cream even more fun. How is that even possible? I'm addition, the flavors I tasted (blueberry cheesecake and banana), and purchased were delicious! This visit was a couple months ago so I'm sure the flavors changed but we loved the late summer options. All so creamy I forgot they were vegan. I'll swing by soon to see what's available for fall! read more

If your looking for a sweet treat this is the place to go. And its VEGAN! The ice cream is made from cashews and whew it was delectable! Cajou is located on Howard Row a block of small black owned business and everyone of them has a unique offerings. The flavors are switched around weekly so you can stop in often and always get something different. On this visit I grabbed the Sweet Potato ice cream!! It was sooo good! I could taste the natural sweetness, mixed together in this ice cream blend. I ate a single cup of ice cream while there and purchased a pint to go. I forgot to mention they do milkshakes too!! Decided to grab a funky monkey milkshake to drink with my vegan burger from next door (Vegan Juiceology post). Im upset I waited to long to visit Cajou Creamery! I will be back soon! read more

Love love loooove this dairy feee / plant based ice creamery! The main chef appeared to be showing his young son about the business on the day we dropped in, which was adorable to see and experience. We opted to test a few small cups and I liked the passion fruit flavor best but baklava was really good too. Blueberry cheesecake was solid but I would go out of my way for and will also repeat the passion fruit & baklava flavors. I'm happy to hear there are pints available in some Trader Joe's stores and that the pints can be ordered in quantities of four to be shipped nationwide. I can't wait to try the sweet potato and the chocolate flavors. read more

The name is presumably a translation of "cashew", which is the basis of the frozen desserts this place offers. No dairy at all. Unless you're allergic to nuts this is the dessert for you. And I have to say I'm impressed. Vegan desserts have come a long way in my lifetime, and I sampled several of the flavors they had on display before settling on a multilayered chocolate-based flavor and a dulce de leche, which had coconut as well as cashew. The texture is only subtly different from the dairy ice creams most of us are used to (I'm not a vegan and I eat dairy ice cream all the time); if you weren't looking for the difference, you might not notice it. The flavor selection was small, but options for how to have your cream (shake, sundae, sandwich) were many. The price was likely higher than standard ice cream, but not prohibitively so (and I always say that I'd rather quality over quantity with my desserts). A distinctively Baltimore business, but with global flavors. Whatever it is that one does to a cashew to make it into ice cream, they're very good at it. Recommended for vegans and non-vegans alike. read more

What a perfect way to end our stroll around Mt. Vernon! The Mount Vernon area has so much to explore for free, including several grassy and flower-filled parks, tons of beautiful murals, the breathtaking George Peabody Library, and the Walters Art Museum. After checking out the Mount Vernon Marketplace, we decided we were in the mood for something sweet. As soon as we walked in to Cajou, we were happily greeted and got to try a few flavors before making our selection! This is an amazing black-owned plant-based creamery, and their cashew milk ice cream is perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike! Their blueberry cheesecake flavor was to die for.

Unpopular opinion: I'm not a fan of ice cream. Opinion that should be popular: Cajou Creamery makes me a new fan of ice cream. If you haven't checked out this Black-owned, plant-based dessert shop, what are you waiting for? I popped into Cajou Creamery to sample some of the cashew-based ice cream. I was already excited to have a vegan ice cream place (for once!), but this establishment blew my expectations out of the water! It's a quaint creamery with captivating interior design and friendly, welcoming staff. There are a variety of flavors (e.g. sweet potato, kulfi, baklava, chocolate, ginger yuzu, guava and cheeze) and toppings (e.g. vegan whipped cream, cookie crumble, blondie crumble, caramel sauce, etc.) to construct your own sundae. Cajou Creamery also offers pints to go. The staff member informed me that the flavors are handmade and all fresh! The ginger yuzu has a subdued flavor (I prefer a stronger ginger flavor, so this was not it for me). Kulfi is a flavor that is near and dear to my heart, and I can confidently say that Cajou did not miss the mark-- it captures the authentic kulfi flavor! I also tried the guava & cheeze flavor, modeled after the well-known pastelito (all I can say is YUM!). Parking on this street is not as challenging as it looks so don't be deterred by the store's placement! I look forward to coming back soon to try out all of the other incredible flavors. Once it warms up, I'm especially looking forward to enjoying my vegan sundae on those cute yellow patio chairs. Thanks Cajou for a stellar experience! read more

All of the ice 'creams' are cashew based and dairy free. The flavors are sooo good and the staff encourages you to samples each. The samples are real samples and "big" enough for you to actually taste the flavor and topping in totality. One of the flavors "Deluce de Leche" was so grand I told them they was just wrong for making it. After they understood how enchanted I was, they laughed and said "if making it is wrong, they don't want to be right". Sooooooooo good. The owners were AWESOME. They took time to explain each flavor and even talked about how and where in the world they got the inspiration for each flavor. I was very impressed with the the fact that they took so much time and showed so much patience in explaining the product. Pleasantly surprised at how much I liked dairy free ice cream. There is plenty of street parking available. They had small tables and chairs outside. The interior is super small. read more
