Vegan-friendy ice cream shop
Babe's is a Bay View ice cream shop that recently introduced vegan soy-based ice cream flavors, in addition to the Italian ices, which are also vegan. You can get them in kiddie, regular, and waffle cones, sundaes, or in a cup.
Their soy ice creams are actually made in Madison at the Chocolate Shop, and they usually have 1 or 2 vegan options at a time. There is no schedule for when they introduce a new flavor, they just try something new when the tub is empty.
Babe's also has an "open door" policy, meaning that as long as customers are coming in, they'll keep the doors open and keep serving ice cream.

Very friendly, will give you samples and they have about 4-5 soy ice creams at a time that they rotate out. Nothing you can't buy at the grocery store though... and personally i'd rather have a pint of coconut ice cream instead.

It made me very happy when they had normal soy oreo. The soy expresso oreo is good don't get me wrong, but since I have no acquired taste for coffee I prefer the vanilla flavor with oreos. Very awesome. And indulging in soy ice cream is needed every once in awhile, but so is indulging in pizza. Babe's is located down the road from Classic Slice and Transfer Pizza. So eating good pizza and soy ice cream in the same trip will be sure to make you smile. Last time I went to Babe's I was talking to the owner who is very nice, about how awesome it would be if they offered vegan brownie sundaes. She legitimately agreed so we'll see if in the future Babe's will offer them. :D.
