Downtowne Ice Cream Shoppe

Cozy ice cream shop where they make some of their own ice cream.

Very good ice cream, I enjoyed it after my last day of placement which it was the perfect treat for it. Will be back.

Lovely little ice cream shop. Went with the wife and kids and we very much enjoyed their homemade ice cream. Will be back

If you're in Merrickville, don't miss Downtowne Ice Cream Shoppe! This charming shop offers a delightful selection of handmade ice cream and gelato, including vegan and dairy-free options. The Canadian Cherry flavor is absolutely divine—rich, creamy, and bursting with fresh cherry goodness. You can even watch as they bake fresh, aromatic waffle cones right before your eyes. The building itself is a historic gem, adding to the authentic charm of the experience. A must-visit spot for ice cream lovers!

Very fresh use of cream, flavor, and local ingredients. I enjoyed samples varitiies flavor and bought 2 scoops on waffle cone to enjoy on the drive back to Montreal

100% always support small business and local

Stopped by today during a bike ride and enjoyed delicious ice cream and such friendly staff. They went above and beyond, and my customer experience was amazing. Thanks!

They have 3 different Vegan flavors and a Vegan waffle cone.... absolutely recommend this place. Very friendly staff, everything was delicious.

Best chocolate vegan icecream I’ve had. It’s soft serve and I couldn’t tell it was coconut milk.

They have vegan waffle cones that taste great.

They also have vegan mango or strawberry.

Delicious ice cream & gelato. Great selection of flavored popcorn and candies as well!

Our favorite place to get homemade ice cream - my 6 year old says it's the best vanilla ice cream in the world!

Maybe the ice cream is great, but the gelato had ice crystals—big no-no. Went to Stella Luna instead. An expensive day for sure!

What is special here is that they offer both ice to cream and gelato, that they make waffle cones fresh in store and sell the frozen connections in tubs. Product is good though not enough to drive to Marrickville for.

Nice little ice cream parlor with nice atmosphere, but the actual quality of the ice cream was very disappointing. Not sure exactly why, but the ice cream had what seemed to be ice shavings in it. Maybe this was condensation crystals or it thawed and was re frozen. Too bad as I was reall looking forward to this after a long hot drive.
