FREE VEGAN SOFT SERVE & ICE CREAM CAKE THIS WEEK! EXTENDED!
21January 19th, 2010carvel ice cream, LA restaurantsUPDATE: i just found out carvel has extended their FREE ICE CREAM giveaway! they open officially this weekend, but are giving out free vegan samples from 11am-4pm until FRIDAY 1/29! get over there!
yes, FREE VEGAN SOFT SERVE AND ICE CREAM CAKE!!
do i have your attention now? remember carvel los angeles, the place i blogged about back in the summertime that was offering vegan soft serve? well they have been in the process of relocating to beverly hills, and construction is finally complete! they aren’t officially open for business yet, but AS OF NOW monday through friday from 11am-4pm they are handing out free samples and introducing their new vegan line.
i heard this info from a pre-recorded message when i called their location at 310-278-5411 (try it for yourself!), and it sounded way too good to be true. lo and behold, i showed up today at around 1pm and was greeted by 3 friendly staff members who wouldn’t let me pay for my ice cream. they gave me some vegan vanilla soft serve with nuts (pictured above), as well as a slice of chocolate ice cream cake. they also explained that when they open, the carvel beverly hills will be half vegan with even more animal-free flavors and toppings (including chocolate sauce)! woooo!
the ice cream cake and soft serve were both great! they were really sweet, but also very healthy tasting, and not overly rich. back at the old location, carvel was using temptation soft serve from one of our favorite companies, chicago soy dairy. not sure if this stuff was temptation as well, but it was damn good. i can’t wait until these guys open for real, because i am totally gonna have them make me a vegan cookie puss!
i highly encourage you to do whatever you can to get to beverly hills this week and hit up carvel for some FREE ICE CREAM! dude, soft serve and cake, at no charge?!!?!?!? what could possibly be better than that?
they are located on rodeo drive, in the rodeo collection….on the very bottom level, by the valets. i parked north for super cheap in the metered parking lot at santa monica blvd and rodeo drive. if you enter from rodeo, this is what it looks like, and just take the escalators to the bottom level.

Awesome news that they will be half-vegan once they open! Still cleansing, so no free visit for me this week, but I hope all the LA vegans eat up on my behalf!

How do you get this info before everyone else, and I would say you are late on it considering it’s already Tuesday night. DO you just refresh websites allday JK. LA should be on top of this stuff and find a way to tell us when there is vegan free ice cream.

Wow, that’s amazing! Note to self: Spend way more time in LA…

This reminds me of select McDonalds locations offering various veggie burgers and other selections. More choices is always a good thing but perhaps I’m just spoiled here in New York to have a completely vegan owned and operated Ice Cream parlor (Lula’s Sweet Apothecary) nearby where I don’t have to worry about employee ignorance, cross-contamination, and add-on suspect ingredients.

Their old location used to be pretty close to my place and I was so sad to see it closed! I’m glad they were just moving (albeit farther away), but they sure can redeem themselves with some free vegan goodies. Yay!

OMG I went as was sooooo enamored of these McFlurry creations. GO! Just GO!
Granted, I did have to pay for parking, but it was worth it. -
