The ice cream is the perfect amount of richness - I wouldn’t have known it was plant based if they didn’t tell me. The grasshoper pie is amazing if you like tea-adjacent flavors, and there was a good balance of sweet & bitter in the chocolate pudding flavor. You get a decent bit of ice cream in the micro, imo.
If you like coconut, welcome to your new favorite dessert spot! Their magic bars are truly magical, and are a great take home staple. I stopped by today to get some ice cream, and was reminded just how giant their small size is. You can get multiple flavors in your cup, so get creative. They have vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and fruit based choices! Bring your appetite!! Ive bought a chocolate cake at their Fenway location as well for a work birthday, and it was divine. You really cant go wrong with anything here. Their store is so neat and spacious, and feels so well ventilated for the covid cautious. A great reprieve from the summer heat!
Friendliest barista! Great shop and good coffee
Love their seasonal flavors. Pumpkin pie and apple cider donut both really good
Interior is beautiful. I had the chocolate pudding ice cream which was delicious!!! Had sprinkles of salt on it which made it special. All their ice creams are made with a coconut milk base unless stated otherwise (sometimes soy, etc). They also have gluten-free cones which I had since I’m gluten intolerant and that was yum.
Everyone in our group loved every flavor, vanilla bean, grasshopper pie, smores and cookies and cream. Delicious and creamy, no one missed the dairy.
Absolutely, positively, the GREATEST ice cream I have EVER eaten as a vegan OR EVEN BEFORE I went vegan. It was AMAZING! (Blueberry cheesecake.... you WILL LOVE IT!)
Their ice cream is decent, at best. I got the raspberry crumble, which was too sweet and sour. The coconut flavor is very strong and my friends and I were sick afterwards.
Late evening dessert treat with my teenage girls resulted in a fun BeeGees sing-a-long accompanied with a sweet treat. Wonderful neighbor spot!
I just got a pint of the chocolate pudding ice cream from Whole Foods. Amazing. Delicious. Pudding pop in a pint. Dairy free. Im in heaven. And now, Im in trouble. I ate half the pint.
For my lactose-free and/or gluten-free people, this is the place to go for all your dessert needs!
The ice cream is the best ever, staff very kind but the bathroom was disgusting. Need a deep cleaning urgently.
Shocked at how good the ice cream was... I will go back!
Recently visited FoMu in Back Bay. AMAZING ice cream! Rich and delicious and creative flavors. Our server, Alondra, was incredibly friendly and efficient. Great experience. Highly recommend!
Really delicious and unique flavors! They have a great variety. Also, the staff are friendly.
I was excited to try this place, as Id heard so much hype on the vegan ice cream. Was sorely disappointed, as its very expensive and youd be better off buying a pint of Talenti sorbet in the store. We had the Raspberry Crumble flavor, which was just not good (too sweet and sour, and not in a good way). Also making a correction to earlier, the menu board mentioned a soy base for the flavors, but per owner comment is made with coconut.We also both felt a bit sick after eating this, so minus stars for this as well. The music was blasting far too loud, otherwise spoiling what would be a cute interior.
One of the best vegan ice creams that I have tasted. Especially love the summer special flavor lavender. Great service and taste.
This is the spot!! Holy earth based stuff the ice cream was divine!!
It was ok. Flavors a lil bland, but its healthy ice cream so I cant expect ice cream taste
I tried the peanut butter and chocolate cookie, strawberry, Earl Grey shortbread, and cold brew flavors. The peanut butter flavors pairs really well with the creamy coconut flavor of the ice cream base. (Once you get a few bites in, you stop noticing the coconut.) Earl Grey shortbread is so flavorful!The texture feels EXACTLY like regular ice cream. Its full-bodied ice cream, not like that watery Breyers bs you buy at the supermarket thats 50% ice, this is 100% coconut cream and flavor.Only downside is that its pricey. Bought a few pints to take home, around $10/pint.
Rockiest Road was amazing!
They have their special things! Nice!!
I have noticed the last few times I went the staff tend to seem either annoyed or surprised when I ask for toppings. Not really sure why since its an ice cream shop??
Great homey atmosphere in the South End. Offers very inventive products, always with the healthy eater in mind. Shop also sells coffee and other drinks, but focus on the ice cream!Fomu also offers pints that you can take home, which is a great way to enjoy their products. The ice cream is more expensive than just going to Ben & Jerrys, but it is worth it for the taste and the ingredients.Theyre open all through the winter, so you can enjoy their cold treats whenever youd like. One of the best spots for ice cream in the city.
Hands down the best ice cream ever, and it’s vegan! I love the chocolate pudding one so much.
Whether youre lactose intolerant or not, youll totally enjoy the treats here from non-dairy ice cream to milk shakes and smoothies. Theres great creativity with the ice cream flavors that makes me think of Ben and Jerrys flavors with chunks and bits of fun stuff inside the ice cream. While some you can taste coconut from the coconut milk used to create the non-dairy ice cream, there are many where all you taste is creamy goodness. It can get busy on a warm Summer day, but its worth a visit. If you have friends that are lactose intolerant, they also have great cakes and will do take away pints and more.
Tasty ice cream with no dairy. Sunrise smoothie was just ok but the vanilla ice cream was good and the strawberry was our favorite!
I am Italian. I always like to try new places. This time I got Affogato (4/5) my wife got waffle cone chocolate peanut butter and caramel pumpkin pie ice cream(1/5). My kiddo chocolate mini ice cream. Portions are HUGE that we all could not eat even half of it and had to throw it away. The pumpkin ice cream was all with piece of ice in it really something that you shouldnt sell. After 2 hours we still feel disturbed from the ice cream. I think if the quantity would be 1/3 of it we would have enjoyed more but still a little disturbed.Will not go back, rather go to Amorino or Delinis Gelato.
The staff could tell I had no idea how to navigate the menu, and needed some help. They were super helpful, patient, and amiable. The ice cream was as good as the service. Though one of my friends had an allergic reaction here before they started labelling their allergens, I had a good experience.
Veery tasty gelato! Creative flavors (Golden Milk, Earl Grey?) might surprise some less experimental folks but hey, you still have classics to choose from. Half of our group couldnt believe it was all vegan!
The ice cream is very tasty, there are a lot of options for flavors and the prices are reasonable.
Expensive but worth it. Fomu makes fantastic ice cream that makes you forget it’s vegan. The flavors are delicious and ever-changing, and I particularly enjoy how they have a mini size, which I find to be the perfect amount.
Delicious ice cream and a lot of flavor choices! Highly recommended.
This place has a very nice atmosphere its very peaceful and a prefect place to study. Ive only tried the lavender and the avocado flavors and in my opinion it starts out tasting like the actual flavor but theres always a coconut aftertaste. Makes sense because they use coconut milk as a base but it could be overwhelming sometimes.
If I had known it was vegan/plant based ice cream I would never have stopped. But since we did and bought the peanut butter chocolate cookie pint and a brownie... It tasted pretty good. I would actually get it again. Just goes to show you cant judge a dessert by whats NOT in it.
FoMu is amazing! About 10 years ago I found out that I had a dairy allergy. As a result, I have had to find non-dairy alternatives to satisfy my ice cream cravings. FoMu provides a wide variety of flavors and its all dairy free! I would suggest this place to anyone who is seeking a dairy alternative.
I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream in many different places.... FoMu is one of the best! I had some of the blueberry shortbread, lavender, rockiest road, chocolate cookie dough, and coffee. All are absolutely delicious!
So glad this opened in the South End - we needed a great ice cream shop. This place is AMAZING. Wonderful flavors you would not ever have thought of - try the avocado at least once. Shop is beautiful, open and airy with plenty of seating including tables, comfy chairs, and even a place for kids. Go welcome them to the neighborhood!
The flavors were incredible, and most of them are gluten free! They also have a wonderful selection of gluten free cookies, and their shortbread goes into the ice cream (blueberry shortbread ice cream, anyone?) and is absolutely delicious. The prices, however, are quite steep and frankly a tad obnoxious.
Superb vegan ice cream spot with a great variety of flavor options. Also offers good quality coffee and baked goods. Stop in if you’re in the neighborhood.
Great customer service! I wish Id gotten the name of the 2 really great people that served us our ice cream tonight; they were nice & very knowledgeable; but what really stood out for me was the friendliness & laughter - they made us feel at home immediately. As for the Ice cream, I LOVE FoMu! And thats saying a lot coming from me because I dont like coconut. Coconut overpowers all other flavors: if I have coconut almond milk on my cereal, I cant even taste the cereal, I ONLY taste coconut, and thats been my experience with everything made with coconut, EXCEPT FoMu! Ive had FoMu at Veggie Galaxy but Id never been to the FoMu shop until tonight and it was great. I tried several flavors Id never tried before & loved them all. I highly recommend this shop or this product if you buy it elsewhere! As I always mention in my reviews when relevant, going here supports a small, local, independently owned business.
Amazing coffee and delicious ice cream. I would go here every day if I could haha
The lady serving me was so patient and kind given the fact she was due to close in 10 minutes. The Espresso Ive cream with coconut whipped cream is the BOMB! So glad they were open and nearby when my sweet tooth called.
The sundaes are tasty and huge but become very sweet near the end. The food is good but expensive.FoMu.
I love, LOVE this place with all my heart! I frequently visit here with my friends and family. My favorite flavor of their ice cream is their strawberry.
Having a child with a dairy allergy, it was so nice to find this place where she could enjoy ice cream with everyone else. Please open a location in/near Winchester MA! Flavors were very good and service was great.
Soooo delicious! A lot of great baked good, the best vegan ice cream, and many seasonal flavors. Always something new to try!
Great vegan options for not only the iced options but also the pastries! The texture of the iced desserts was very silky. I dont eat lots of sweets so this was a nice little treat.
Wow simply the BEST ice cream sandwich ! I highly recommend this place for anybody (vegan or not) that needs an icecream fix! I tried the peanut butter and cookies & cream ice cream sandwich AND the chocolate cookie dough ice cream sandwich. Simply amazing !
My good friend found this place and told me about and took pictures of his chippywitch. I live in NJ and had to give it a try the next time I was back in Boston.We finally went here two weeks ago and the place is pretty big. The had a few lounge chairs by the window and I think two long benches. Cool, very relaxed atmosphere.I got the cookies n cream and a strawberry, banana smoothie. Very good! We ended up staying there for like, two hours. Before we left, I got another smoothie because it was so good. Definitely a place to come back to whenever Im back home.
Delicious VEGAN Frozen Treats. I am definitely glad I stopped here while in Boston.
This is some of the best, most flavorful ice cream I have ever had - with or without dairy. Try the chocolate pudding and you wont be disappointed.
Dairy Shmairy! This place is awesome! Love this coconut allergy friendly ice cream... And the vegan hot fudge... WHAT?!?! Please come to Connecticut.
Some of the best dairy free ice cream there is. Make sure to check in every now and again to catch the seasonal rotating flavors. Some of the best ones are blueberry shortbread and triple chocolate brownie.
I never thought dairy-free ice cream could be as delicious as the real thing until I visited FoMu. Ive since realized it can be even better! FoMu does the community a service by allowing those with dairy intolerances to experience the joy that we, dairy digesters, do on a regular basis: the pleasure of a creamy frozen treat! Each of their flavors is rich and savory to the point where you may question your life choices up until tasting them for the first time. Whether youre dairy-free or a daily-lover, pay this place a visit. You wont be disappointed!If this review was helpful, please consider a thumbs up. It would be greatly-appreciated!
Pretty cool shop. Enjoyed my time
One of the better Fomus Ive been to! The staff isnt there to make you smile and brighten your day, but they do a great job at being patient with sample selections and answer your questions!Lots and lots of seating at this location!
So many awesome flavors to choose from and the coconut milk base tastes great!
Super nuce icecreamI like the season icecream and you have also a Vegan one 👍
Alternative dairy. Alternative straws. Alternative spoons. Thank you FoMu for caring about Earth!
So cute and nice, ice cream was delicious and the staff was super nice too. Totally recommend!
Delicious plant based ice cream! Creamy, rich and flavorful!
A must taste for all vegans or those looking for non dairy ice cream options. Ask to taste any flavor of coconut based ice cream, cant go wrong.
Did not enjoy the ice cream. Candy pieces werent that plentiful and ice cream was bland and not creamy. However, nice atmosphere. Would not return.
I come here at least once everytime I am in Boston. Super impressed with their high quality product. My boyfriend is lactose intolerant and their chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough is his favorite.Always have unique seasonal flavors too. Really enjoyed the early grey shortbread and chocolate mint cookie.Coconut dream bar and vanilla are great go tos as well.
Helpful, warm and inviting atmosphere. Coupled with some amazing ice cream. You wont miss the milk at all.
It was amazing! They had all the flavors I wanted and some! Definitely want to go again!
Only vegan ice cream place Ive ever been to. Still falls a bit short of normal ice cream, but surprisingly good for containing no dairy products. Staff was very friendly.
So delicious. Best cookie sandwiches.*serves gluten and dairy free, which is really nice.
“Tastes like ice and coconut milk” - my wife
Ice cream all tastes like coconut... miss my cows
Im not vegan at all, but the coconut milk-based ice cream I just got here definitely tops my list of all times favorite ice cream parlous, and Im a frequent traveler / foodie around US, Canada and Asia!
Its delicious! Just too expansive for a very small portion!
Amazing ice cream and matcha... but what had me were the wood utensils and biodegradable straws. Way to go, MOFU! We need more businesses like you.
I have an insane addiction to FoMu and have convinced several of my friends to come in and try it who are now hooked. Theres one girl from MassArt who works at this location who is always so sweet and patient even when we come in late at night. Thank you!!
Not sure why they decided to use coconut as a base flavor for all their ice creams. I would skip this place till they start serving the flavors without ambushing you with coconut.
Amazing vegan ice cream! I am hooked! Even non vegans love it.
Great selections! Loved the matcha /cookies and cream combo & the customer service was excellent.
Love fomu, always great service. The ice cream taste so good.
Best non dairy ice cream options. Try the afigato. Birthday cakes, cookies, and other sweet treats. Great coffee and coffee drinks, expresso.
My favorite ice cream shop in Boston! Incredible team and flavors, simply cant get enough of it.
Expensive, but ice cream is good (if you like coconut milk)
OMFG, THE BEST THING SINCE SEX, STRAIGHT ORGASMIC
