    I've cream
    Donnell K.

    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!!!!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    Ice cream!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Blueberry cheesecake and Jamaican rum raisin on a Black cocoa cone.

    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.

    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!

    Some of the best vegan ice cream I have ever had, no lie! Their rum flavored one is a new favorite flavor for me. And because of the location (Baltimore), you are basically getting affordable craft ice cream (I live in the DC area and was pleasantly surprised with the price).

    Sunbutter cup ice cream with sprinkles
    Molly K.

    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!

    Original large cannolis - 4pcs. Coconut Napoleon - 1pc…read more Vanilla Napoleon - 1pc. Chocolate cream puffs - 3pcs. Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

    I was excited to try this place out. The positive is that the service was very friendly. The staff…read morewent out of their way to treat us well and were so kind to our kids. The vibe inside was relaxing. We were here for a few hours enjoying our coffee, tea and desserts and it was a nice place to pass the time on a cold, freezing day. The thing that dropped the review was basically the coffee and desserts. The coffee was fine, but just your standard coffee that you'd find at any gas station. The cannoli was overly sweet and the cookies we ordered felt stale. Interestingly, they charge more for sit down desserts vs. takeout. The servers were very sweet to share that we could order takeout and not have to pay the extra fee. Finally, not sure why, but there was not a lot of heating inside the restaurant. We ate with our jackets on, which was fine. But found that to be a little odd. Nobody seemed to know why they couldn't get the heat on. When it's below freezing, it would be nice to escape the chill. Overall, it was a nice stop. My kids loved it. But it was not without some quirks.
