Top-tier customer service, amazing selection, and great location for a relaxing cone of ice cream on a summer day. Great outdoor patio seating - there’s also a beautiful park immediately across the street to enjoy before or after coming here!

A quaint corner shop before a park and the entrance of the Riverdale Farm. Got a strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone. Mango ice cream was alright. Strawberry ice cream was really creamy Pistachio ice cream just had a very mild flavour; does not have a prominent taste. It's got a few seating areas under the awning. The entrance is also surrounded by flowers.

Perfect little nook, makes you nostalgic for a simpler time when there were more of these kinds of establishments around. Good prices and tasty food, quick service, and lovely vibes! Hope we can keep this place in business for a long time yet.
