Malai is a South Asian inspired ice cream parlor specializing in coconut milk-based vegan ice creams and sorbets with adventurous flavors like red chili chocolate and pineapple pink peppercorn. The venue provides both soft serve and scooped options with nut labels and vegan designations clearly marked; outdoor seating and wheelchair accessibility add to the comfort. Regular flavor rotations at the start of each month keep the menu fresh, though some reviewers wished for more vegan milk-based choices beyond the two or three offered on any visit.
