unframed ice cream

fantastic ice cream. need more flavored. it's impossible to actually enjoy your ice cream as there are many vagrants in the area. not ideal to go there at night.

great experience altogether. texture is next level, and staff super friendly. do not miss it when visiting the mother city. best ice cream in town. thumbs up!!

after hearing so many good things about unframed from my vegan friends, i visited the kloof street-based store on a monday night. this place is ultra-minimal and makes its mandate very clear: unframed is purely about ice-cream. after sampling their offering (vegan and dairy-based ice-cream), i had a scoop of the sea salt caramel ice-cream and my word, it was superb! the two gents manning the store were rather affable, which made the experience even more pleasant. understandably, unframed is quite pricey relative to its competitors, but it’s totally worth it.

i framed remains my favorite place to get ice cream. the variety of flavors is incredible especially the matcha and turmeric! always so exciting to see what each day's flavors are & the toppings are always delicious.

finally tried out the much raved about "unframed" ice cream. after walking for some time we eventually found their little store on kloof street. the store itself is very minimalistic in terms of its decor and design which meant all the attention was on the 10+ flavors of ice cream they have to offer. 

from what i have heard they usually boast weird and wonderful flavors but the day we visited there weren't that many, the most interesting ones being the turmeric and burnt white chocolate flavors. nonetheless, the decision was still very difficult and i was torn between the dirty sea salt caramel and the burnt white chocolate. i ended up going with the burnt white chocolate - and it was delicious! it was super creamy with the perfect texture and the flavor was amazing. their sugar cones are also really good as they aren't too sweet but still taste great. another great factor about this place is that they also have tasty vegan options - my friend is a vegan and unframed had 3+ vegan flavors to offer. 

the staff are very friendly and helpful (especially when it comes to deciding between ice cream flavors). there is very little seating due to the store being small but other than that it is a great place which serves delicious, high-quality ice cream. i will definitely be back to try out their other flavors!

the mistake was choosing the tasting flight as the scoop size stayed normal as apposed to tasting portion size
i face 5 scoops with the 5th by default the vegan option, and can honestly say loved them all equally and struggled to find a favourite flavour

ice cream: 7!
ambiance: 3
service: 4

really really really awesome ice cream! authentic flavors... banana tastes likes real bananas and the sea salt caramel really good... must try!!!

deemed as the best ice cream. it really is great they have amazing flavours and good for vegans too. we enjoyed the banana bread, salted caramel and the chocolate. they have multiple branches so it's easy to access. the ice cream is great quality.

had to visit after they’ve been named the worlds beat ice cream. i had the dirty sea salt caramel which was amazing. had it in a cone and felt like a kid again ;-)

after late-lunching at hudsons the burger joint, a short walk away is unframed. the open front store with the convenient engraved seating outside in the sun provides a perfect atmosphere to people watch, get asked for money, and listen to the hiphop blasting from the store. there are a few usual flavours like salted caramel, vanilla but no nut ones sadly. there are also some very unusual ones like lime lemon basil (tastes like a granita) and the two i tried at r38 for a one scoop cone - strawberry coconut (quite sweet with only the tiniest bit of coconut) and turmeric latte (a fluoro yellow offering with a little bit of sweet, a lot of turmeric, and how the latte form does taste). i didn't like the strawberry but i did so the turmeric, although the flavour got a bit much in the end. maybe it's more the colour and novelty factor.

we almost missed the shop because the signage outside is non existent but there was no way i was going to come to cape town and not try i've cream at the world's best parlour. we visited on a day without a chocolate option which was sad. . we tasted every flavour that took our fancy and i settled on a scoop of passion fruit and a scoop of dirty sea salt caramel. yum. if you're an ice cream fan you need to visitand taste the unusual flavours available - such as turmeric.

like most people, anything described as a ‘vegan option’ lets me know i have no business being anywhere near it. so earlier today when my mind got blown by their vegan beetroot, chocolate & ginger flavour, i experienced something of an existential crisis. i’m currently sitting on the floor of my room in the foetal position, contemplating the meaning of life if anyone’s looking for me.

the staff is very friendly and i really enjoy the interesting and new flavours that they have each time i visit. definitely recommend checking it out!

quite possibly the best ice cream in the world. silky smooth, innovative flavors and absolutely delicious. try it. you will not regret it!!!

i absolutely love the ice cream at this place. texture is smooth and it leaves no oily residue in your mouth. i also love how minimalist and unpretentious the space itself is. an absolutely fabulous place and i make it a point to visit when i’m in town.
