Van Leeuwen now has locations all over NYC, but their Greenpoint location is my neighborhood spot for dairy-free ice cream. Theirs is made from a coconut base so it's ultra creamy and never icy.

Happy Zoe makes incredible-looking vegan cakes, cupcakes and more, but my favorite dessert for on-the-go is their banana whips. Toppings include nuts, fruits, nut butters, and chocolate with no sugar added.

I was a customer of Dun-Well Donuts before I was dairy-free. They make a delicious variety of donuts without animal products, making them vegan and dairy-free friendly.
