La Diperie is like the field of dreams of ice cream.
From hard ice cream to soft, La Diperie offers a literal double-dose of the tasty treat. Choose your flavour of ice cream, and then choose from a hefty selection of toppings to dip your ice cream in. What youâre left with is a hardened shell coating with ice cream in the middle.
Come on, stoners. It’s almost not fair. Cinnamon Toast Crunch on vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate?
Brruuuh.

They’re like donuts but chicken.

Dalla Rose

Dalla Rose makes locally sourced organic dairy products. Their ice cream is good but if you’ve had a few puffs, look no further than their ice cream sandwich.
It’s everything a stoner could want: ice cream and a sandwich mixed together.
