Top Eats: kubé's vegan ice cream

Now, my sister is lactose-intolerant, so I've had some experience with vegan ice cream — the texture and consistency aren't always the same as dairy ice cream.

• kubé's ice cream, though, melted in my mouth. It was thick and flavorful — and not too sweet, unlike a lot of non-dairy options.
• My friend Olivia took home a 5-ounce container ($10) after saying the passionfruit ice cream was like sucking on an actual passionfruit.

Other flavors include:

• salted caramel with toasted pecans
• key lime
• bittersweet chocolate with cacao nibs

How to buy: kubé ships all across the U.S. and provides local delivery to Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville and Oakland.

• You can also find their products at the Rainbow Grocery Cooperative in San Francisco and the Mandela Grocery Cooperative in Oakland.
