Alchemy Creamery

Tried the chocolate push pop. The whole thing was terrible. The ice cream was not tasty, lot of grainy bits, not sweet, and melts instantly.
The push pop concept is silly, impractical, gets old in 20 seconds. It’s hard to hold, and doesn’t help cooling the ice cream.

Very disappointed. I thought this place was going to be really good based on the way they describe their flavors and ingredients. However, the «ice cream» was bland and really lacked the sweetness that ice creams should have. I understand they use «healthy» hipster ingredients, but even so the flavor could still be improved. There are better vegan desserts. The strawberry push-​up was not very tasty and the brownie pieces on top were bitter and crumbly. Tasted kind of like dirt. Everything is also very overpriced, especially for unsatisfactory quality.
If you’re a vegan, you’re better off going to a frozen yogurt place and just getting a bunch of fruit from their toppings bar in a cup. At least that tastes better than this alternative «ice cream.»

It’s hard to do vegan ice cream right — also of times it isn’t creamy or it’s too hard to scoop. The ice cream from Alchemy is amazing. I’ve had their push pops and the regular hard ice cream — both times I’ve been satisfied. I only wish the servings were a bit more generous — I like a lot of ice cream! But seriously, get ice cream from them. They are at the Vegan Shop Ups at Pine Box Rock Shop and they’re at Smorgasburg. I can’t recommend them enough. Plus, free toppings!

Not as good as regular ice cream… but wow is that salted peanut butter flavor good. Give it a shot and make sure to add GF cookie crumbles on top!

Delcious ice cream that happens to be dairy free. The strawberries and cream is amazing.

Capitalized on the second run of their Amazon Local deal which made what they consider $ 12 of product $ 7*. Tried all 4 cup-​friendly** flavors when they just opened — 2 in one and 2 in another — almond vanilla, peanut butter, strawberry, and whatever else is pictured — none were memorable, but peanut butter & strawberry were better than the other two.
Oddly their last review was well before end of last summer (7÷20÷14).
*‘Alchemy Creamery takes almonds, cashew, & hazelnut, then transforms them into a creamy, flavorful, and extraordinary dairy-​free dessert. We call them our ice cream potions.’ (Gimme a break)
**Really unclear why flavors are sequestered to certain sections of the menu, and some had yet to thaw enough, so they made a couple other folks come back.

Had their ice cream on governor’s island. Got a cup of chocolate chai with sea salt for $ 4. Not bad. It tasted almost like regular ice cream but not as creamy and fatty. The flavor was good but I could definitely tell it wasn’t «ice cream.» If you aren’t vegan, I would stick to dairy ice cream.

I visited the Alchemy Creamery stall at Smorgasburg and couldn’t wait to try their dairy-​free Chocolate Hazelnut vegan ice cream… I’m sorry but the ice cream was actually sour! I know they use a blend of soy, coconut, almond, and cashew milk to make the ice cream but it was barely sweet and had an overwhelmingly nauseating «spoiled milk» taste that was impossible to ignore. I ate ²⁄₃ of it and had to dump the rest. For $ 6, they do give you a fair amount but I was so disappointed in the taste. It also has a sandy mouthfeel from the ground nuts. That didn’t bother me as much but if you’re looking for delicious vegan ice cream go elsewhere.

I have yet to make it to the Williamsburg location, but I did happen to get my hands on some goodies from Alchemy Creamery. Being lactose intolerant, I’m always looking for substitutes (especially as it gets warmer), so to say I found ice cream and not sorbet is such a treat.
So far, my spoon has dipped into the strawberries and cream, green tea, and salted peanut butter flavors. They are all so delicious, and the flavors are strong but not overwhelming. I can’t wait to make my way to Smorgasburg for this!

delicious

These guys make a great vegan ice cream!!!

So I consider Alchemy Creamery to be a hipster vegan ice cream. I like their fruity flavors. I’ve also tried their espresso flavor, which was pretty good. I wish they were more accessible since I love ice cream!

I had the pumpkin with the bruleed marshmallow. So good but I wish I had more marshmallows on it!

The Ice Cream Sandwich is freakin’ amazing. I’ve been vegan for well over a year and this is the best cream-​less frozen dairy treat out there. Best way to spend six bucks. Well worth it and big enough to share but you won’t.

Excellent ice cream. Vegan, you say? Okay, really excellent ice cream.
I’m not vegan but I’ve tried a few different vegan ice creams that don’t stack up to Alchemy. I love that it’s really good (vegan) ice cream without skimping on quality or flavor. I tried the chocolate chai and the plum ginger (seasonal). It’s definitely pricey but so worth checking out!

I found Alchemy at smorgasburg and I was super excited to enjoy some vegan ice cream. I got a scoop of peanutbutter and I forget my second scoop but I got raspberry sauce on top. So delicious but very tiny scopp

Nothing but positive vibes from this place. I just finished writing a review for another ice cream place and realized this is where I really belong. I discovered Alchemy for the first time with their «magic wands» at the Williamsburg Smorgasburg. I like how they invent fun and interesting flavors and making everything vegan with coconut milk and not soy. I’m kind of allergic to soy. I appreciate that they are available every weekend with new and exciting ones to try.
The best part of all was finding out that they distribute to Food Town on Metropolitan and have the best black sesame flavor ice cream in town

I came across the Alchemy Creamery stand at Smorgasburg by the Brooklyn Bridge Park during my trip to NY. As a vegan in 100+ degrees weather surrounded by pulled pork sandwiches and turkey legs, I nearly cried when I saw the «vegan ice cream» sign. The ice cream is uniquely delicious, and the guys were so cool for appreciating my «Lettuce Turnip the Beet» tank top :)
For $ 6, I got two scoops (one scoop of chocolate chai and one scoop of strawberry) and a free topping (caramel popcorn). To all those curious non-​vegans, yes, it will have an aroma of sweet coconut, and you’ll be surprised how comparable it is to Haagen Dazs or Coldstone. Apparently, they are offering internships, so reach out if you are interested. I cannot wait for them to expand to San Francisco!

So your last milkshake at Milk Truck left you doubled over in pain at the Williamsburg waterfront as you melted in the summer heat and your friends continued grazing delicious Smorgasburg offerings? Have no fear! Alchemy’s vegan ice cream is finally here to save the day! I tried all three flavors they had on hand; a maple walnut, peanut butter, and chocolate chai and really enjoyed them all. I ended up getting a bowl with two scoops, but they also offer push-​pops of a sort where they layer ingredients (such as jelly between layers of smooth peanut butter ice-​cream reminiscent of a pb+j sandwich. nice!). So if you’re vegan, lactose-​intolerant, or just plain human with taste buds, try this spot out; it’s worth it!

Oh hey, Alchemy Creamery! Where in the world did you come from, and where have you been all my life?
I discovered this stand turning out awesome, «alchemy”-inspired ice cream last Saturday at Smorgasburg. The place was so packed with all kinds of delicious food offerings and even multiple ice cream vendors, that I have to admit it was pretty difficult to notice Alchemy Creamery. However, I was drawn in by the totally friendly staff who were gladly offering samples and enthusiastic to share about the brand’s background and the flavors they had on hand.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I freaking love unique ice cream flavors, especially when they combine exotic ingredients and savory or spicy elements. So once I looked at the flavors on their menu, like dark chocolate chai and vegan citrus honey, you can bet that I was intrigued. The vegan citrus honey (a coconut-​based concoction) was a total winner, and possibly one of the better vegan ice creams I’ve had. And I’m very experienced in the world of vegan ice cream to be shamefully honest. It was creamy, luscious and very delicate in flavor — perfectly playing off the natural oils and fat in the coconut milk and brightened up by the honey and citrus.
I am happy to see Alchemy Creamery in the lineup at Smorgasburg, and would really like to see them thrive and expand their business. Hey, I can always use a pint or two of their awesome ice cream in my freezer!
