The store’s chefs are already working on the product, according to the post which said: “The development has started and we aim to bring this alternative to dairy-based soft ice to IKEA Bistros in Summer 2019.”

Plant-based

Ikea has already committed itself to serving more vegan options in it cafe, trialling a vegan option which is available in some European locations , and set to launch in the US next year.

Speaking about the menu developments, Michael La Cour, Managing Director at Ikea Food, said: “Every year, 660 million people enjoy the Ikea Food offer, and we see this global reach as an opportunity as well as a responsibility to serve food that is good for people and the planet.
