Revolution Gelato
Nekkid Espresso
Nondairy desserts are often a poor substitute for their milk-filled contemporaries, but a new treat gives vegans the creamy taste they crave. Revolution Gelato launched at Candler Park Market last July. The company’s award-winning Nekkid Espresso and the Cardamom Kiss, Orange Dream, and Triple Vanilla flavors are now available at 26 stores and restaurants in the Atlanta area.

If you’re screaming for ice cream, see if you can finish this 32-ounce shake made with chunks of banana, chocolate chip ice cream, and chocolate syrup. $10.80
