    Organic Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Merced A.

    Oh so very delicious! Both my girlfriend and I had the peanut butter cookie sandwich with vanilla cream and our kids had chocolate and chocolate chip! BOMB!! My tummy and blood sugar were happy!! I appreciate the obvious care taken into sourcing high quality ingredients and using natural sugars! Oh and dairy free too!! Will be coming back!! ‍

    Delicious ice cream, lactose and gluten free!! Totally worth a try! Reasonable prices and cute little spot by the beach!

    I was traveling with a friend who has diabetes. Fortunately he's on the lower end so monitoring his sugar and carbohydrate levels is important. But since I was on vacation, I was in the mood for ice cream. Searching around, we were near Vedder's. Read over the history and WOW! What a great concept to work from and create a frozen dessert that appeals to everyone. Daveed got a mini chocolate ice cream. He said there was a delicate coconut flavor but overall, really good! I had to have an ice cream sandwich. I ordered chocolate chip cookies and salted caramel ice cream. Soooooooooooo Good! There were other flavors that sounded inviting and will have to wait for another day! There are some small tables out front which is nice. The shop is located in the Old Town center which is really cool, a little touristy but hey, I'm on vacation. In my excitement, I missed the doggy cookies that were for sale. But Cako did get a small taste of the ice cream. Cako Approves!

    1st off I've never had vegan icecream, my error; thought it was a dairy icecream shop. $8 small cup of banana fosters. It was tasty. No refined sugar used, dates are used to sweeten it. It wasn't bad but I'm not sure if I would try it again. Very good customer service. Cute little shop with quite a few flavors to offer.

    I've been to one other place like this and really enjoyed it, but this one is even better. First of all, it's tucked away on a charming little street filled with shops and cafés. The menu offers a wide variety of unique flavors,We decided on the Matcha Lavender and the Mango Berry. The Mango Berry tasted very homemade and fresh, with real mango and berry flavor and a touch of syrup that worked nicely. The Lavender Matcha was even better--super rich and creamy, and best of all, not overly sweet like at many ice cream shops. The service was fine, and I loved the design of the place; it felt like a cozy wooden café you'd find in a resort town.

    Dairy free + gluten free HEAVEN! I was so excited to try Vedder's! The staff was super friendly, and I loved that you could customize your ice cream cookie sandwich with whatever flavor you choose. The ice cream sandwich was HUGE, so my husband and I definitely could have shared one, but we were both excited to try our own flavors.

    We go to Vedders every once in a while because my daughter is lactose intolerant. The ice cream is good and we like the ingredients they use. We usually get scoops but this time we ordered a pint. When we got home, the pint wasn't even filled to the top. Also, there was a whole air pocket inside the pint. My guess that there was only 2/3 of the pint filled. I emailed Ashley but have not received a response so I'm posting here. Just wanted clarification so we know not to order a pint again if this is the usual pint they sell and for everyone else to know what to expect.

    A cute little spot in San Clemente, this place embodies everything I imagine in a beach city gem…read more The Nachos are hefty in both portions and flavor. Everything worked well together, and omg that Cheese pull. What this place IS, IS because of the details. The setup, the décor, the AMAZING workers and how cheery and helpful they were... the cucumber/lemon water, the samples of yogurt while you wait, and the hot sauce options, all make for an enjoyable experience. Good food can be found anywhere, but when you pair that with an atmosphere that is both soothing, welcoming, and charming... you've got a home run. Oh speaking of details? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE MUSIC? I don't know if it's like this everyday but the oldies playing ties everything together. Summers here have got to be magical that hit on beach city nostalgia. They've got alcohol. What? So you know we had to try what they had on draft. This Active Culture location is pretty popular too, because as I write this. People are pouring in, and door dashers are picking up. Winner. Winner. Fresh ingredient dinner.

It's healthy and quick which also makes it a good option to take out and eat at the beach directly. I'm so happy they finally added chicken as a protein option you can add on, but the star of the show had to go to the nachos and the orange creamsicle smoothie!! I'm not kidding when I say this, I'd take this smoothie over the erewhon's orange kinsicle smoothie.

This location is at the River Street Marketplace in San Juan Capistrano. They let you sample as many flavors as you want. Double ($11) - I went with a double and that let me pick up to 4 flavors. I went with the sweet cream caramel brownie, double peanut butter chip, coffee, and churro con leche. The ice cream was creamy and smooth. The coffee had a nice strong coffee flavor which I always enjoy in ice cream. The double peanut butter chip had a nice balance of chocolate and peanut butter. Finally the sweet cream caramel brownie had great taste and a wonderful combination creamy ice cream with the brownie bites. Overall this is a great place to go to get one's ice cream fix. The quality and service are outstanding!
