The Veggie Outers pulled up to Swirled Peace, a fully vegan ice cream shop located in the Bishop Arts District for this review. This spot has been around since 2024, and after attending their grand opening, it was time to come back and give a full review.
One thing that immediately stands out—this isn’t your typical ice cream experience. Since vegan ice cream shops are still pretty rare, Swirled Peace is already bringing something unique to the table.

The Experience
Swirled Peace operates on a self-serve model. You grab a bowl, choose from their available vegan soft-serve flavors, and load up on toppings. Once you’re done, the price is determined by weight.
They also offer vegan deli sandwiches, which is a smart addition. If you’re not trying to just have dessert, you can turn this into a more complete meal experience.
At the time of this visit, they also mentioned vegan pizzas from Pizza Verde (normally provided through a partnership), but those were temporarily unavailable.
Food: 9.6
The biggest highlight across the board? Flavor intensity.
The strawberry flavor was described as strong and natural, almost like eating frozen strawberries.
Chocolate-based combinations (especially with toppings like peanut butter, cookies, and caramel) were consistently rated 10/10.
Even people who don’t usually go for chocolate ended up loving it.
Multiple guests rated their ice cream:
9/10
10/10
Even “11 out of 10” in some cases
That tells you everything you need to know about how this hits.
Only downside:
Limited variety (around 6 flavors and ~16 toppings)
Some felt there could be more fruit options or topping variety
Because of that, the score lands at a strong 9/10 instead of a perfect 10.

Feedback:
Some felt it was fair for a specialty vegan product

Final takeaway:
Good value overall, but not cheap → 8/10
