I am not a satisfied customer. Given the rising occurrence of dairy allergies and lactose intolerance I find it difficult to understand why your franchises would not stock more allergen friendly options. I phoned two local stores and in one there were a whopping two choices, the daiquiri ice and the tropical ice, the second only had the daiquiri ice. My dairy free 6 year old has no frame of reference as to what a daiquiri tastes like and is understandably not interested. He's a child. He'd like something in a strawberry or perhaps a dairy free chocolate variety. He's 6 after all and despite not being able to consume dairy he's a totally normal 6 year old boy. He loves frozen treats. I thought for sure your franchises would stock some sort of soy ice cream or coconut ice cream options, alas I was mistaken. Apparently the growing portion of the allergic population is not welcome at Baskin and Robbins. Duly noted.

Come to Sellwood, we got a Vegan ice cream cart, but yes, not as accessible as Baskin Robins =/
ReplyDeleteEven as a random diary consumer: I've never liked them.
I just looked it up and Ben and Jerry has vegan sorberts... but again, not very accessible.
Yeah that's where we're going to take the boys next week. It was already 7 when we were looking for a close dessert option. I ended up making them a soy yogurt fruit smoothie instead.
