Soynami – the best frozen vegan treat in town

The Dish: tSoynami
The Place: Nami
The Location: 2014 north 7th Street, Phoenix AZ 85006

What is a tSoynami? It’s a delectable vegan ice cream treat made with Nami’s homemade vegan soy-based soft serve (vanilla or chocolate) with a variety of mix-ins including candies, cake, chocolate sauce, peanut butter and more. You would never guess its vegan with its creamy smooth texture.

My favorites? Haystack Attack (chocolate, pretzels, coco cereal and marshmallow fluff), Dough Boy (chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate) and NO’s & Mint (Newman’s chocolate O’s, mint flavor, chocolate). My #1 choice though is Monsoon but it’s only available seasonally during Arizona’s monsoon season of course.

While you’re there, how about a coffee (vegan too, with a variety of non-dairy option including soy, rice, coconut, almond). Nami also carries a selection of vegan baked goodies – donuts, cupcakes, and cookies. Warning – get there early in the day for the best selection. Craving a meal? head next door to their sister restaurant Green. Both restaurants are in small buildings tucked along 7th Street in central Phoenix. Parking is limited during rush times.

tSoynamis are also available at Green in Scottsdale.
