After attending Chef AJ’s cooking class (click here to read the post about it) we were hanging out at her house when she mentioned a vegan soft serve place nearby…my ears perked right up. Everyone starting raving about how amazing the vegan ice cream was and that it was made with sweet potatoes as a base. I was in like Flynn.
We headed over to Hugo’s to get some amazing soft serve vegan ice cream. They serve chocolate, vanilla, or a swirl of the two (which I opted for). It was AMAZING and so creamy!!! I can’t wait to take my family next time I am up in the LA area with them.
While we were there we ran into one of Chef AJ’s friends, Chef Rawsheed who is a celebrity raw chef and leader within the raw movement having founded Sun Power Natural Cafe. Chef Rawsheed is on the left in the picture below along with Nick whom I met at the class.
Hugo’s vegan ice cream stand is in Studio City at the 101 and Coldwater. While I haven’t eaten an actual meal at one of their restaurants (they have 3 locations), their menu looks great and is filled with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. I am going to have to have lunch AND ice cream next time I go.
I also hear that there is a vegan ice cream parlor called Atomic Number 7 in Henderson Nevada, so you can bet we will check that out too the next time we are in Vegas.

I live in Henderson, NV. I haven’t heard of Atomic Number 7 maybe they went out of business can’t seem to find them on yelp either would’ve been neat to try them oh well.
The last time we were in Vegas we drove all the way to Atomic 7 only to find that it had just closed…the fixtures and furniture were still in there. Too bad 🙁
