Ice Harvest is a small, all-vegan cafe and ice cream shop on Old Christchurch Road, in the heart of Bournemouth town centre. It's built its name on dairy-free ice cream and shakes, but the menu stretches well beyond dessert into a full plant-based comfort-food line-up, making it a rare fully vegan stop on a street otherwise dominated by chain restaurants.
On the menu
The kitchen turns out familiar favourites done entirely without animal products: burgers, wraps, loaded cheesy fries, onion rings and mock bacon and sausage sit alongside churros with caramel sauce. Ice cream and shakes remain the signature order, backed up by smoothies, juices and iced coffee. The menu is also halal-friendly, so it suits a broad mix of diners, and most dishes and shakes come in under £10.
Good to know
Ice Harvest keeps things casual, it's a counter-service spot rather than a sit-down restaurant, with a handful of tables for eating in as well as takeaway. It's also set up for delivery through both Deliveroo and Uber Eats if you'd rather order in. Hours run through the day into the evening from Sunday to Thursday, are shorter on Fridays, and it's closed on Saturdays, so it's worth checking current times before making a special trip.
