There’s a new ice cream place in town. Called The Comfy Cow, it’s located in Westport Village. All the ice cream flavors and specialty sundaes on their menu sound delicious of course but it’s this blurb from the about section of their website that really has me excited:
We at The Comfy Cow believe we have an obligation to act responsibly
toward the environment we live in. Towards that end, we recycle all
plastic and glass bottles, all eat-in items are served in
non-disposable glassware or china and to-go items are packaged in
biodegradable containers with compostable utensils made from 100%
non-GMO corn starch PLA resin.
I do so love businesses who make recycling and sustainability a priority.
Well ok this blurb has me excited as well:
Each batch of ice cream is handcrafted in our Westport Village
location, four gallons at a time, ensuring only the freshest and most
taste-tempting flavors.

I know, it sounds so good in all ways! I want to try it so bad.

As sustainable as they may be, where’s the non-dairy/soy ice cream?

Sam…I was asking myself the same question. It would be really nice if there were an ice cream place in Louisville that at least offered some basic vegan flavors so I can eat with all my friends.

Becca and Sam, The Comfy Cow does offer fresh fruit sorbets, if that’s any consolation. I will try to find out about the possibility of offering non-dairy/soy ice cream flavors and report back.

Becca and Sam, I spoke to Tim and Roy at The Comfy Cow about a non-dairy/soy option. This is their response.
“We have made the choice to serve a high butter fat, super premium ice cream…good old-fashioned ice cream, nothing else. We are going to be getting a NSA (no sugar added) product in the near future.”
