From the creators of Oh Oat, Cape Town’s favourite, locally made oat milk, ditto foods is launching South Africa’s first true dairy ice cream replacement that tastes, feels, and functions just like the real thing. And what better way to launch than in a little ice cream parlour in the hub of Cape Town.

Opening just in time for summer at 119 Kloof Street, Gardens on October 30, ditto on Kloof will be Cape Town’s first 100% plant-based ice-cream parlour.
With over 40 flavours in development, ditto foods wants to give people the chance to enjoy the creamy texture and indulgent flavour of ice cream without the health, environmental, and welfare issues attached to traditional dairy. Better yet, ditto foods is free from all common allergens – no soy, nuts, wheat, or lactose.
“We started ditto Foods to make it easy for consumers in South Africa to make healthy, sustainable, and humane dietary choices. We’re firm believers that delicious plant-based foods can and will change the world, a belief we’ve carried over from Oh Oat. Until now, there has been no true plant-based ice cream replacement indistinguishable from dairy. It’s been incredibly rewarding to watch people try our ice cream for the first time, and see the total disbelief on their faces when we tell them it’s vegan, plant-based and dairy-free.”

Our ice-cream has been in the development phase since before we even launched our first company, Oh Oat. Our goal from day one was to create something anyone would enjoy, whether they have a proclivity towards plant-based eating or not. Close to 300 ice-cream trials later, and we’ve developed a base which mimics dairy so closely that in a blind tasting, you can’t tell the difference.
Word on the street says the first 100 customers get a free scoop of ice cream and some kind of secret gift. So, make sure you’re in the Mother City on October 30.
