Runaway Cow

"I think I just found my new favorite ice cream spot! I am so impressed with this place. Tried them for the first time today, I got a caramel apple, apple cider biscoff sundae and it was divine! The ice cream was so flavorful and creamy! So hard to believe it was vegan but that’s what made it even better! I got to also talk to the owner who was super cool. I learned she’s a CPS teacher and the shop is an ode to Dairy Queen - which holds a special place in my heart. There’s only two weeks left until they close for the summer and I’m making it a point to make another visit before then and after that, I’ll be counting down until they’re open again. Get there!"

"Being a South Side vegan isn’t as difficult as one might think! Especially when you have places like Runaway Cow. I’ve been a frequenter of this fine ice cream establishment since opening day. The ice cream is amazing, the treats are top notch, and the staff is awesome! They have even started selling food such as “beef” sandwiches, Chicago style hot dogs, and today, I got “The Vito” (a tasty Italian sub) with all the fixings. So happy that this place exists and that it’s on the South Side. I’d recommend a Snow Storm with your fav ice cream add-ins."

"This was well worth a 30 minute ride across town. The store is adorable, clean, and bright. The owner was there and she was kind and patient as we figured out what to order. This is a vegan treat like no other spot I've ever been to. If you ate Dairy Queen blizzards as a kid, this is for you. We got the monthly special Take 5 snowstorm and the flavors were incredible. Maybe one the best mixtures of flavors I've ever had. We had a second one with "snickers" and "twix." My teeth were full of caramel and it was worth every bite. Then we got the choco-taco which is huge. It is homemade and simply delicious. I plan to go back whenever I am in town. Wow!"

"Tried the cappuccino major....delicious. it's like a blizzard from DQ, concrete from Andy's or McFlurry from McD's. Only downside melts faster than the 3 mentioned, probably because it's made out of oat milk. But the flavor is on point! The rest of the group had a small vanilla in a gluten free cone, a pumpkin pie snowstorm which tasted just like pumpkin pie and a medium pistachio flavor soft serve (flavor of the week)"
