Sweet news for East Bay folks: The Cohen brothers Ari and Andrew have opened a warm and welcoming ice cream store in the heart of Albany. The creators and co-founders of Mr. Dewie’s ice cream have brought their 100% vegan, dairy and gluten free gelato (which has been a hit in stores nationwide since 2012) directly to the local Bay Area community with their first retail location. Mr. Dewie’s Cashew Creamery is located on the buzzling corner of Kains and Solano Avenue—you can’t miss it.

Unless you don’t like or cannot stomach nuts, this gelato will make you feel good. Mr. Dewie’s famous Organic Cashew Milk ice cream is packed with 100% natural and nutritious ingredients. We call it gelato because of its rich and creamy flavor, just like authentic gelato. It’s main ingredient, cashew nut milk, is fresh and hand-made from premium organic cashews. The brother were inspired to create the concoction when they found out they were both lactose intolerant. For all health conscious sweets lovers out there, this is a protein-packed treat with 5 to 8 grams of proteins in every serving. And you can ask for ‘kid size’ scoops.

Taste The Season + Get Your Flavor
Next to kid-friendly staples like chocolate chip, strawberry, and lemon cookie, there is a lot more to explore, like banana bread or caramel almond crunch. Ari gets creative developing new combos and flavors in the store’s kitchen area, where also hand-made gluten free buckwheat cones are prepped from scratch. He comes up with incredibly tasty results, like the Turmeric Spice which contains turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, anise, and black pepper. Simply delicious and ideal to get into holiday mood.
The Cashew Creamery currently offers these scrumptious seasonal flavors:
- Pumpkin Pie
- Roasted Cashew
- Chocolate Orange Chip
The Cohen brothers also have young and old covered for those cooler days, with a cashew milk hot cocoa.
