They weren’t the first frozen yogurt shop to feature dairy-free soft serve, but 16 Handles has definitely been the most innovative. Within a few short years, they released about a dozen creamy vegan flavors made with cashew milk, almond milk, and oat milk. Their dairy-free selection now ranges from fruity sorbets topped with fresh fruit to decadent Cookie Dough froyo garnished with chunks of vegan cookie dough.

Dairy-containing toppings can easily find their way into neighboring dairy-free ones. If concerned, ask the fro yo specialist to get a fresh topping from the back. They are usually happy to help.
