Just in time for the last SOWA of the season, Sunday the 30th, I wanted to post about The Galley ice cream. It’s made locally in Cambridge by Kelly Williamson. She whips up small batch artisan ice cream in flavors like cold brew coffee, salted dark honey, malted vanilla bean and honey vanilla horchata. You can find cups (pictured above) and pints at SOWA on Sunday – don’t forget to bring your cooler! Can’t make it to SOWA this weekend? Catch the SOWA winter festival on December 2-4 or Motherbrook fall open studios on November 13th. Pictured above, the cold brew coffee – this is not the coffee ice cream your grandmother loves kids, this is the newer, more sophisticated coffee ice cream

The nutella and oreo was probably my favorite out of the trio, combining two of my loves…the ice cream is creamy and smooth with bold flavors. Can’t make it to any of the events that The Galley will be at? Good news, they deliver within 10 miles of Malden (with a minimum order of 2 pints). Did I mention that they cater and can work with you to create your dream flavor. I’m thinking that it’s high time one of my friends decided to have a grown up ice cream party…hint hint.

The lemon curd ice cream was good, not what I had expected, but tasty none the less. I think I was hoping for a bolder, tarter taste. Note that this didn’t stop me from inhaling the whole cup in one short sitting.

After dinner at Deep Ellum we decided to head next door to get some ice cream from Fomu.

I had heard about it from a write up in the Globe. As you can tell, I’m not a vegan, but I was tempted anyway.

A cute little shop with limited seating in the front and back, this place also serves George Howell Coffee. Small world, I went to high school with his daughter.

I’m not a big soy ice cream eater either, but strawberry is always the best flavor (in my opinion) when you have soy….somehow I thought that would be the same for vegan ice cream. I later remembered that the ice cream is made from coconut milk…and I probably should have gone with chocolate or coconut….however…as you can see,  I went with strawberry. And what do you know? It tasted like coconut. The experience can be likened to biting into an orange and tasting a banana. A little weird to say the least, but the ice cream was indeed creamy and delicious despite not tasting a think like strawberry. And those chocolate jimmy’s on top, they are the real thing…

Happy I went to try it out, but pretty sure this girl will be sticking with the real deal from now on.
