If you love ice cream but the dairy doesn't love you back, Gretchen Todd of Juice Girl on 19th Street has you covered.

The proprietor of the popular juice spot confirmed Wednesday that she's debuting a vegan ice cream shop during Height's White Linen Night on August 5.

"It may not be completely open, but debuting," she said of the new store called "Over the Moon" which will be located across the slim hallway from Juice Girl in the existing indoor shopping center.

Till all the equipment is purchased and up and running, she said, the vegan haven will be open Saturdays and Sundays.

The non-dairy treat is made from nutmilk.

Juice Girl opened a second location on Fairview in Montrose last fall started making vegan ice cream there. The opening marked Houston's first organic and vegan ice cream parlor.
