Homemade ice creams and sorbets, soups, sandwiches, smoothies and a variety of snack items make M&S a quick stop at the corner of Sunset and Crescent Heights
More than just an ice cream shop, Ice Cream Plus (recently renamed from Mickey & Sams) is one of the few non-chain restaurants in a mini-mall at the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Crescent Heights. They serve homemade soups, sandwiches, sorbets and ice creams, smoothies, shakes, and have lots of various portable snacks on the racks for your convenience. Lots of vegetarian options, and a few vegan options as well.
Directions:
At the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Crescent Heights.

Located in a mini-mall anchored by a Washington Mutual Bank... or maybe it's the McDonald's... Who anchors whom isn't so important as the fact that Mickey & Sams (Ice Cream Plus) provides you with the kind of small-town ownership and service that's rare in L.A.
Even though there's very little seating, since much of the patrons seem to order their food to go, I usually like hanging out and ordering the fantastic red lentil soup, along with vegan items that include a falafel wrap or salad, a veggie chicken wrap or salad, and a tofu rice wrap or salad.
Then, if I still have room, I top it off with a peanut butter and chocolate shake made with their PB&C sorbet and soymilk. It's worth every penny, and one of those things that reminds you that veganism can be as decadent and delicious as carnism or even vegetarianism, when you know where to go and what to ask for... if only there were more places like this.
Even some of their snacks are vegan, such as some of the Kettle Chips, and 2 or 3 of the variety of snack bars they carry, though all that stuff is a little more expensive than getting them at the grocery store, so I don't buy them unless it's simply more convenient at the time.
Closed on Sunday evenings and Mondays... I think. They're usually open 'til about 11p, but they don't post hours in order to give them some flexibility with those times.
