Cajou Creamery

Cajou is a plant based ice cream shop owned by Dwight Campbell and Nicole Foster. Dwight is normally working in store daily; he is cordial, customer centric and super knowledgeable. The ambience is quaint with modern touches. Cajou sells clean products that are made fresh daily, with (ingredient) labels that a 5 year old could understand. Most notably, they have flavored ice cream cones (green tea matcha, chocolate, etc).The brand integrity and a sense of community shines with every scoop given that five percent of each sell goes to support local food justice initiatives. If you want to support this cause but can't make it into the retail store, Cajou creamery is located in the aisles of Whole Foods across the country (as well as Slutty Vegan burger spot). Cajou is a luxury ice cream experience and I can't wait to return to grab ice cream and listen to all things Baltimore.

I believe I have said it before however again for short measure, I LOVE CAJOU CREAMERY. What is not to love and I am so glad I don't have a cashew allergy because I would be missing out on some delectable ice creamery dreamery!From the owner Dwight's stellar customer service to the ice cream there is not much more to say. I so enjoy that when in town there are always new flavors to taste, try and indulge without guilt. During this visit, BLACK CAKE (IYKYK), COQUITO (IYKYK) and SPICED PEAR w/ BRANDY CARAMEL... So, of course, came with a cooler, dry ice and took all 3 home for the road trip!

So years ago there was an Elite Week fro Cajou Creamery that lined up nicely with festive times. My sister and her vegan family were all around, and we decided to go collectively. Having access to some of their ice cream flavors in Whole Foods, I didn't go back to their brick-and-mortar until this year. I could never find their Sweet Potato Pie in stores near me, so I finally had to go back and get it after enjoying it so much before. It was as amazing as I remember. And the owner gave me the genius idea of letting it melt a little and using it as a French Toast stuffing. Do you know how delicious that is?! Not long after this experience, they posted on social media about being in danger of closing and the community was not having it. I couldn't make it out in time but it was amazing to see so many people coming out to support them. Proud!I returned recently to mass stock for the holidays and gifts, and conveniently enough, they have some new amazing flavors for the season that I couldn't wait to experience: Spiced Pear w/ Brandy caramel and Jamaican Black Cake. FAN.TASTIC. I really wish there was one closer to home, but this is one that I hope stays around for a long time. Of all the ice cream I have had (dairy or vegan), they're easily in my top 3. I thought sweet potato pie was their peak... but these seasonal flavors... wow. Til next time!

Owner was so friendly and helped us pick a flavor we loved. My mom got baklava and blueberry cheesecake and I got baklava and bourbon pecan. We also tried his pumpkin bisque. Everything was flavorful and delicious!

Hands down best vegan spot for ice cream! You will have a difficult time picking which ice cream you want after a quick taste test, so go ahead and get at least 2 lol I have taken several people here, and it doesn't disappoint, perfect for vegans and non vegans.***product is also sold in whole foods (Inner Harbor fyi)We sat outside and enjoyed our scoops!

Truly the nicest human running this ice cream shop. And the ice cream is so tasty!! We walked in in a Sunday afternoon and no one else was in the cozy store, so we asked if we could taste every flavor. I'm vegan and from seattle, so felt like this might be my only chance. All their ice cream is vegan (cashew based), soy free, gluten free, and in an effort to keep sugars low, sweetened with dates. They obliged, and as we were tasting another customer walked in who joined in on the tasting party. Soon there were a handful more people. The baklava flavor was my favorite, the chunky monkey flavor had the perfect amount of banana flavor ("because we use real banana"), and the kulfi was a cardamom treat. The sweet potato pie was really impressive (because his son challenged him to make it into an ice cream flavor) and the horchata was the first flavor because his son had food intolerances as a baby. There were three or four flavors of cones you could get, and little premade ice cream sandwiches. If you can't make it to the scoop shop, this ice cream is available in Whole Foods in the wider area, and will be available for nationwide shipping in just a few weeks! I'm going to go into my local store and request that they carry it. Really cute shop, great ice cream, lovey humans. Would recommend!

I am so happy that I have found this place! As an ice cream connoisseur gone vegan-ish... I have had my heart broken by lots of nondairy options! But I have met the Cajou of my dreams! I had to taste almost every option available and u will understand why when you take a look at those options! 1. The store is amazing. Small and cozy - feels like you walked into a Pinterest dream! 2. The owner was the cashier! Whaaaaaa!? Please take a moment to share a smile and say thank you for the best service ever these days. I felt as if I was invited over to my BFFs house who happens to make amazing treats! 3. Flavor! This ice cream is definite creamy, bright, decadent and better than .... Anything ever. And the matcha cone was crunchy and fresh!

Stumbled upon this place going to another business and it being plant-based caught our eyes! It's a small shop, but very welcoming and well decorated. The owner was welcoming and had a very calming presence. We tasted a few options but ultimately went with the blueberry cheesecake and pistachio guava. Next time I might just have to go for a flight of 6 flavors!

Cajou did not disappoint! The ice cream, service, and atmosphere check all the boxes. since I could not decide what flavors to get, I ordered both the blueberry and raspberry cheesecake. Pure creamy flavorful goodness The business owners, Dwight and Nicole, were so incredibly warm and kind - they're the cherries on top! I will absolutely be back to get my ice cream fix!

Fantastic find after a Center Stage play. Vibrant flavors , all dairy-free and you'd never know it. Very creamy feel and taste using cashews. Generous taste tests because the flavors are so original.
