Nice Cream
The clearest fully-plant-based gelato-technique maker found in Taipei, with international vegan-food-press recognition (self-reported) and Taiwan-specific fruit sourcing (Puli passion fruit) alongside its core allergen-free positioning.
What we know
- 100% plant-based: non-GMO soy milk, oat milk and almond milk only, with the site stating no dairy, no non-dairy creamer and no water added to any flavour
- Self-reports, on its own official site, 'multiple consecutive years' recognition from Happy Cow as one of the world's top ten vegan ice cream shops — a self-reported claim from the maker's own site
- Uses a Puli (南投埔里) passion fruit sorbet as a named single-origin Taiwan-fruit flavour alongside globally-sourced flavours (Sicilian pistachio, Nutella)
- Founded in Taiwan in 2016 using what the site describes as a gelato technique dating to 1921, i.e. explicitly positioning itself within Italian gelato lineage despite the dairy-free base
- Operates six branded locations (two in Taipei, one each in Hsinchu, New Taipei, and two in Taichung) rather than a single flagship — a multi-location chain, not a single-site maker
