"FUNFETTI" CAKE RATING:YY (2 out of 5 hearts!)
BELLA VEGAN SHAKE RATING:YYY (3 out of 5 hearts!)
Foodswings is a cute “fast-food” style vegan joint in Williamsburg BK. It used to be owned by fellow Staten-Islanders Freedom & Lee Poerio-Tripodi but a few months back he sold it to the owners of the metal/grind-core bar Lucky 13 (which has vegan White Russians!). I haven’t been in since but I figured I should check it out to see if the dessert options have changed. With the previous owners they had an amazing selection of shakes, a nice vegan candy/ice cream selection and whoopee pies/brownies/cakes supplied by Vegan Treats . I would mainly go for their shakes which were always out of this world. The Bella Vegan was my favorite – vanilla ice cream, cookies and peanut butter.
When I walked in I noticed it from a mile away.... a vegan funfetti cake? WHAT YES! Totally my favorite cake ever and I've never seen it vegan. Man when I was 15 I would bake one funfetti cake a week. Haven't had that in forever!! It looked amazing in the case.
But alas, it wasn't good. Very dry and boring. No flavor what-so-ever. The frosting was pretty rad, sweet and well-whipped. Disappointing altogether though.
Anyway, despite the management change the laundry list of awesome shakes is still available so I had the bella vegan and it was terrific. Lots of peanut butter, super thick and yummy. I would not be opposed to going there only for shakes all the time.
So overall, shake good, cake not so much but I'm hoping that it's because it was stale and old. Which still, shouldn't be sold to customers in that fashion but whatever. I'll try it on a different day of the week and report back.
What do you think of the new FoodSwings? Have you been? What's your favorite shake?

i was never a fan of foodswings and got sick everytime i ate there. i used to only get shakes when my friends would go, but then one time i got a coffee one that was like water and tasted like dishwater and i never went there again.

ReplyDeleteDating a married woman, stalking her husband and bragging about it on the internet? You're not the sharpest tool in the shed... but by the looks of it, you certainly are the biggest.
ReplyDeleteMan, that's seriously fucked up.
ReplyDeletePeople are mean. Spreading gossip or business... What a dickhead.
ReplyDeletebusiness, im sure
ReplyDeleteyou get what you give, dont expect anything more
ReplyDeleteSome people never learn.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you are no longer dating her but you still get on here and bad-mouth Freedom and tarnish Lee's reputation leads me to believe that you are bitter???? Perhaps you are right.....you get what you give.
ReplyDeleteperhaps
ReplyDeleteOh and Thank You for continuing to make this blog work for years now, if it weren't for people like YOU this could never happen ! LOL
ReplyDeleteI google vegan food and find this childish crap?? Wow Mr. Anonymous, you must have really loved Lee to get on here and trash her name like this. Not nice. Not nice at all.
