Cool Treats at Nami in Phoenix, Arizona
Coming from more northern climates, Phoenix, AZ was delightfully warm. After a couple of sunny hikes, we realized that it was time to cool off. We made our first visit, of several trips, to Nami at 2014 North 7th St in Phoenix. Nami started as a vegan ice cream shop and expanded to include coffee and other hot beverages, baked treats, breakfast, and Sunday brunch.
Nami offers vegan soft-serve made with organic unrefined cane sugar, organic soy and coconut milk, in vanilla, chocolate, and swirl flavors. Then it gets fun. You can mix in any number of goodies, either choosing your own or going with a suggested combination. For example, there’s Life’s a Peach (deconstructed peach cobbler, granola, and caramel). Clunky Monkey swirls soft-serve with bananas, pecans, banana syrup, and chocolate syrup. And then there’s the Mash where the server surprises you with an original concoction. Servings are large enough to share and they also offer smaller cups with no mix-ins. The soft-serve was smooth and creamy with a light flavor that blended well with the mix-ins.
Every time we stopped by, Nami was busy, showing people of all ages how good vegan treats can be.
