Let me start by saying that if I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would!!

There are many things that make living in the East Village awesome, and the restaurants are at the top of the list. Yoshi Sushi, Gandhi, Thailand Cafe, Ruben’s Empanadas, the Belgian pomme frites place across from Tompkins Square Park — I am well-fed, and I am grateful for it. But suddenly I have an addiction that surpasses them all, and its name is Stogo.

One of the biggest reasons going vegan has been so hard for me is ice cream. Sure, Tofutti Cuties are good, but most other frozen vegan desserts leave a lot to be desired. However, this past week I stumbled into Stogo, and one of my dreams came true.

I tried three flavors — Mexican spiced chocolate, bananas foster, and chocolate hazelnut — before landing on what will surely be my addiction for years to come, salted caramel pecan. I really have no words for how delicious this is, you have to try it for yourself. A sizeable serving was $4.50, which to me is completely reasonable. They have vegan baked goods and chocolates as well, which I look forward to trying in the future. Stogo is amazing and worth every penny!

If heaven was on earth, and full of the most delicious vegan ice cream, it would be Stogo.

I am a vegan ice cream connoisseur (see profile picture, please). It is my lifes duty to eat my way through life one scoop at a time. I intend to carry this task out at Stogo.

Enough cheesy anecdotes. This place is just awesome. Sorry Lula’s, but this place puts you to SHAME. After a trip from San Francisco, I wished that Maggie Mudds would open a location in NYC. I no longer need you Maggie, I’m sorry.


I walked in expecting, like Lulas, for a half-dozen or so flavors. Instead there was a full case with probably 15 choices - sample as many as you like (the oatmeal cookie, bananas foster, red velvet cake, peanut butter fudge, and toasted almond joy were most memorable). The adorable girl working behind the counter also informed me that a soft-serve machine will be up and running as soon as the weather is officially warmer.

There’s also a bakery case with Babycakes items, a few jars full of cookies, and a sign about making a customized ice cream sandwich (again, HEAVEN).

So spacious, and frankly, the display of everything is so aesthetically pleasing. Clean and bright, and right across from the church with park benches — it’s going to be fantastic come summer.

I had a massive and decadent “regular” at $5.75 (Yes, it’s a little pricey, but I paid $4 something for a soft serve cone at Lula’s that was hardly comparable) with peanut butter fudge, and bananas foster. Both were AMAZING. I seriously will be dreaming about this place until I burn off enough calories to return.

I am not, not have I ever wanted to be Vegan. I love dairy, cheese and especially Ice Cream. But then I tried Stogo and I can confidently say that if I never have dairy ice cream again, I will be okay with that.

All of their flavors are amazing and while I prefer the coconut milk based options they are all great. Amazing selection and highly recommended!
