Whipped Urban Dessert Lab newly opened the doors to the world's first oat milk ice cream shop in New York City, and this summer, those who find themselves on the Lower East Side will find themselves spoiled for choice when it comes to decadent frozen desserts. The Boston-based cake shop was inspired by the popularity of its oat milk soft serve and set out to create a location dedicated to oat milk desserts.
This vegan-friendly shop uses its signature vanilla sweet creme as the base for every creamy creation, and it is served in different ways and topped with everything from sauces to natural crumb coatings. For those who are overwhelmed by the many customizable choices, the shop offers flavors like Coffee Waffle Crunch and Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel.
