Sad face 8pm and they are closed However, the business do not look like they are operating as a business. Also, it looks like a walk-up business & dine-in options were available. I'm confused about this shop. Google says it's open, thou. read more

Insanely delicious!!! Had a serious ice cream craving and remembered about this spot. The ice cream shop is literally next door to North End juice bar, with a couple of 3 two top tables aka very small . The staff is extremely friendly and gave great recommendations. The shop was quiet the night I went but I could see it getting tight on busy days. I The ladies were extremely nice and let me try a bunch of flavors. The shop itself also has cookies, grilled cheese sandwiches, soup, and hand pies . You can also get artisanal good like hot sauce so check that out! I tried several different flavors but the best one was the GREEN SUPERFOOD. The ice cream was a punch of tropical deliciousness, I actually ended up getting a pint. The other flavors were also very tasty but this flavor just stood out to me . I like that they have funky flavors and also traditional flavors as well. You can get two scoops or one and they have 3 different cones. The pint was $7 and some tax which pricey but well worth it. If your a fan of the juice bar the ice cream parlor will not disappoint. I know they do have rotating flavors so try the Green Superfood while it's in stock . read more

Next to the North End Juice Bar! This place is so adorable with such friendly staffs. The [yoga] crew and I walked over here after our backyard yoga session. They had so many different flavors to pick from, I ended up choosing the Organic Pistachio on a cone. Be sure to take a pic fast, because it was starting to melt quickly for me- haha! (And also because it was in the middle of Summer. I tried some of their bakery samples they had out and it was just delicious! I want to try their cutie pie and cookies next time, but I can only handle so much sweets. This place is such a cute ice-cream shop in the fan and the staffs are always so friendly. I recommend this for anyone of all ages and to for everyone to at least try once. You won't be disappointed! read more

This ice cream is delicious. I have visited this shop twice in the last few months and have been pleasantly surprised by the flavors and staff each time. My first trip I had a fresh-made waffle cone with two scoops of blueberry cream ice cream that had large pieces of blueberries and tasted devine. It was some of the best ice cream of my life and I love to eat ice cream folks so that's saying a lot. Haha. On my most recent visit earlier this week - I chose to go again with a waffle cone and split flavors between a really great cookies and cream and a cherry cream. Soooo good. They also have take home pints and some drinks in a cooler on the side and can do other variations of ice cream treats if a cone isn't your thing - but I like it plain and simple. Parking is street and it can get a bit crazy if a rush or long line forms but it's generally fairly quick and they are happy to let you taste all the flavors until you know what you want. read more

Super amazing gelato! They also have milk alternatives for those lactose intolerant. However, get the gelato if you can. It is sooooo delish! During quarantine, they are a pint of gelato store. No problem with that, just ask for a spoon if you really can't wait. Yes...I've done it. No shame. I love the chocolate hazelnut swirl (can't remember the exact name). It is basically ferrero rocher in creamy gelato. I also love the cherry in sweet cream! The little bits of cherry are to die for in the delish sweet cream. I would say my least favorite was the lemon curd. The flavor was delightful and refreshing. Not a fan of sour but this was subtle tang with good lemon flavor. The only issue was that, the texture was a little weird for me. It may be that it wasn't strained well, because it was a little gritty. Good location with plenty of parking. I am excited to go try again when they are a fully functioning store. Highly recommend! read more

Adorable shop with old structures and modern flavors. Comparable prices to any other gelataria in the area. I had the cookie butter (non vegan version) which was creamy and satisfying with little crunchy cookie bits. I wish there were more cookie bits actually but every scoop was delightful nonetheless. My husband got vegan pistachio in a chocolate cone - I snuck a bite and it was surprisingly creamy with a beautiful green color. Only downside was the small selection of flavors but on the upside, they had many vegan options. read more

Yum yum yum!! That's all you need to know! I love that they have vegan and dairy options and the vegan options don't taste "fake". My husband couldn't even tell that my pint was non dairy. Looking forward to when we can get single scoops versus pints but I do like having extra in the freezer : ) read more

I moved from Brooklyn to Richmond last year. I had been really disappointed with the vegan ice cream in Richmond until now. This vegan ice cream is legit! It's creamy, flavorful, and not overly sugary. It is a must try. I'd love to see a Strawberries and Cream or a classic Key Lime Pie vegan ice cream. read more

Amazing gelato! Took a risk with the guava cookie and omg!!! So delicious. The consistency was like ice cream! I will definitely be going back. read more

The ice cream was delicious, and open on New Year's Eve. Great little family shop, the service was fantastic super hip and fun read more

Can I give this six stars? It's incredible. My roomie and I went after an ice cream craving hit and I saw it on Instagram. I had been to North End Juice Co many times, but ice cream? We HAD to investigate. Sadly, the ice cream shop was closed, but there was sign that said they will open up for you if you tell them you want ice cream at the register. The shop is so cute!! It's a really nice space, and it's decorated with plenty of fun things- like ice cream cone lights. The man who owns both businesses scooped our ice cream and was extremely friendly to open for us. I tried mint chip in a cone, and guys, this was probably the best ice cream I've had in #RVA. He gave me extra too! He makes it there in house. My roomie tried the kitchen sink flavor. There were plenty of vegan options...awesome. I'm an ice cream expert and this has my approval 100%. read more

Their vegan gelato is the best, whoever is coming up with the flavors is a genius. Can not recommend highly enough.

Soooo good! I've been seeing the IG stories of all the yummy new vegan flavors and they did not disappoint. I'm so happy to have a place so close by that has healthy ice cream! I say that because the golden milk ice cream was so flavorful but not too sweet! I loved it, didn't feel a sugar crash after keep bringing it north end cause y'all are killing it! Only wish they listed the flavors they had when they change cant wait to try the Elvis one with bee pollen read more

This ice cream is heavenly. I am a complete omnivore, but their vegan flavors were pretty awesome too! You can also get the juice from next door, coffee, cookies, and mimosas made with the ice cream/sorbet and champagne. They also have a boozy ice cream flavor- some sort of stout I think. It's delicious and amazing and I will most definitely be coming back. Go and bring all your friends, you won't regret it. read more

Hands down one of the best places I have gone to for ice cream. Arrived around 5:30pm and didn't leave until 8:45pm because the environment and staff were so amazing. The owner, Channing, explained how he created the ice cold masterpieces and described the ingredients and processes. My over all experience was awesome and me and my husband will be returning soon! read more

I had a delicious chocolate shake and sat outside watching people out for night time walks. The shake was decently priced for the size and the ice cream was good quality. Luckily this place is within walking distance from my place. I'll be back! read more

I am really tired of 'yuppie' sundaes! When a place advertises 'sundaes' they should be a real sundae. This place sells hot fudge but you can't get one on a sundae, also there are no cherries on the 'sundae'. The final straw is there is NO bathroom for customers! Please Richmond bring back a real ice cream shop! read more

Limited flavors, stale cone, and probably the most expensive single scoop in town. The seating area was fine. Service was fine. Won't avoid it, but wouldn't seek it out. read more
