About a 15-20 minute walk from central Shibuya is the magical Kippy's Ice cream! Kippy's sells 100% non-dairy coconut ice cream and i read that they were 100% vegan so i decided to check it out now that the weather is warmer and i can justify dragging my friends to an ice cream shop outside the city! When we arrived at Kippy's it looked like a vegan heaven and the cafe itself has a very spacious Californian beach-side feel to it. HOWEVER... it turns out that 90% of the ice creams sold in Kippy's contain raw honey which is not vegan and i was slightly disappointed that out of the gorgeous array of colourful and yummy-looking desserts, only 3 options were vegan- Vanilla date, Coffee date and Choco date. BUT ALAS, i am still very grateful for those options and i realize that as a vegan everything i can't have everything i want in this world (': I now realize that i didn't take any pictures of my bowl of ice cream because as far as i can recall it was only infront of me for about 5 seconds before i engulfed the whole thing. And yes.... it was delicious. The coconut flavour was very subtle so i feel that even people who don't like coconut could easily enjoy these delicious and ice creams. There were quite a few people inside the shop both sitting and waiting to be served so decided instead of discussing the honey issue in person to message them on Instagram to see if they have any plans to create more vegan flavours. When i get a reply i'll post it here! I am still very happy to promote Kippy's because its still a step in the right direction and can help people realize that dairy ice cream is not the only ice cream available and you don't have to use animal products to enjoy yummy desserts! If you're vegetarian but looking to cut out dairy i'd definitely recommend coming here to try some of the non-vegan flavors and similarly if you're plant-based Kippy's should definitely be on your summer-time-treat list. AND VEGANS! Please try the delicious vegan options and hopefully the increase in vegan customers will get the ball rolling for more vegan options in the future!
