Paleo Restaurant: Kippy’s (Venice)

A non-dairy ice cream shop might sound like an oxymoron, but this properly sourced, artisan Paleo ice cream shop is actually really freaking delicious!

Kippy’s is an organic ice cream shop that is Paleo, vegan and raw.

How can one place cover all those bases you ask?

By using coconut cream and raw honey.

We actually discovered this place after doing an interview with our friend Melissa from Raw Paleo and I’m so glad Melissa told us to stop by.

Real Food Ingredients

They never use soy lecithin, guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, or other binders and fillers in the making of their Paleo ice cream.

They even make their own coconut cream from organic, mature Mexican coconuts!

As if that weren’t already a dream come true, they package everything in glass.

That means, if you’re not eating the ice cream in the shop, you’re buying a glass jar to take your ice cream home in, so you don’t have to worry about any BPAs or other nasty chemicals leaching into your creamy treat.

All The Many Flavor Options

Kippy’s had ten different flavors when we were there, but their flavors change all the time.

And I’d highly recommend heading straight to grab a bowl of ice cream right after spending the day at Venice beach (at least that’s what we did).

Kippy’s also has plenty of toppings to choose from, including some standards – like whipped cream, almonds and pecans – and some less well-known choices, like cacao nibs and bee pollen.

Feast Your Eyes On This Food Porn

Be sure to follow them on Instagram if you want some ice cream porn to whet your appetite before heading over. If you’re in the Venice Beach area and looking for a cool treat, you should definitely stop in and give this non-dairy ice cream a try.
