“Yesterday tried vadapav, it was very fresh and yummy. Looking forward to try different delicacies in next visit to Ice flame.“

“They have the best variety of ice cream. They don’t call it Biggies for no reason. The ice cream cones are huge. My favourite place to go.“

“I recommend visiting it. He has ice cream, sweets, cocktails and very tasty snacks“

I recommend A&J superbowl to everyone I met. this is the BEST spot to get bubble tea and many more sweets! 💯🤞🏻“

“Great location, lots of space to sit and enjoy the icecream“

“Enormous scoops. Made the mistake of getting two scoops. 🤣 Had Maple Walnut. Delicious!!! Highly recommend.“

“Purple Pony is a very cute little ice cream shop with lots of flavors to choose from. And, the portion size is generous. Loved the cute outdoor seating area, particularly nice for a summer afternoon / evening. The long queue kind of explains the popularity of the place among the locals.

Kid-friendliness: The outdoor seating area with lots of purple ponies around is particularly kid friendly.“

“Our fav is their Half and Half. Tried a few flavours and all seem to be perfect. What we don’t like is the absurd self-made rule of stop serving milk shakes 15 mins before closing. Turned around two times now for being 2 mins late and the excuse that they just washed the blenders. They should honour the customer rather than giving these excuses. When your closing time is 10pm then you should be serving everything on the menu until that time or change your closing time to 9:45pm and ask your people to start washing blenders after that. Good food is one thing but having such an attitude towards customer destroys everything. The owner or whoever is making these rules should take notice“

“I can’t say enough good things about this Dairy Queen location. I found myself needing a last-minute birthday cake today for my dad due to circumstances, and on top of that, he’s absolutely obsessed with his favourite soccer team. I called with a bit of hope but honestly very low expectations, knowing how last minute the request was and that I was asking about a custom design.

From the moment I spoke to the staff, they were kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Despite the tight timeline, they went above and beyond and managed to prepare a custom cake the same day in under three hours with his favourite team on it, which was far more than I could have ever asked for. The cake turned out amazing and completely made my dad’s day. Seeing how happy he was meant everything to me.

My dad and I come to this location all the time for a sweet treat, but this experience truly showed how special this place is. The staff and the owner clearly care about their customers, not just the orders. Their kindness, effort, and attention to detail do not go unnoticed.

Thank you all so much for everything, you turned this situation into a really meaningful memory for our family. 💙🍰“

“Best place to go for a delicious bite to eat after a nice long walk in the nature. They have the best hot dogs, poutine, burgers and ice cream, especially their famous lavender lemon ice cream. The staff are very friendly as well and it has a nice vibe like you're taking a step back in the past. Awesome place to spend with your family and friends ❤️“

“Crazy Cravings came to our event on extremely short notice (our planned truck cancelled last minute). When I spoke to Jeff on the phone to inquire (literally a few hours before our event), he was so kind and professional. They came directly from another event and arrived right on time with smiles on their face and their beautiful trucks stocked with yummy treats! The ice cream was absolutely delicious - everyone LOVED it and it made our event so special and memorable! I can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend their service to anyone hosting an event where they want delicious ice-cream served by kind, courteous, professional staff from clean and beautiful trucks!“

“Was in there for lunch today, I recommend the Shawarma poutine. Decent price and good size portions, plus very clean and great staff“

“Good ice cream, my only suggestion is to keep the candy like gummy bears, marshmallows and others in small containers to keep them fresh. Both were hard and not fresh. The candies were stale, not because of the cold ice cream, they were not fresh.“

“So delicious and fun!! Beware...it can add up quickly!!!“

“I have been a customer at this Dairy Queen location since it opened. Upon entry I always find the dining area well capped and clean. The staff are always a pleasure to speak with and very helpful. The cakes speak for themselves. The DQ cakes are the absolute best. Quality is obviously their top priority.
I totally recommend this location if you are looking for an ice cream cake.“

“Absolutely amazing baked goods! I’ve been df/gf for close to 13 years and never have I ever found products that not only have a great variety of options but for them to taste so incredibly delicious! This will definitely be an absolute must stop and fill up when we are in town. So incredibly yummy and not overly sweet like some places.“

“I had such a lovely experience today. The two ladies working were very kind (between 8-8:30 pm, Feb 13th), especially the one who served my Chocolate Peanut Butter, Pistachio Almond, and Rocky Road scoops. She patiently answered all my questions about the prices, which I truly appreciated. I also love how clean and organized this branch is that the refrigerator is neatly arranged and makes choosing ice cream cakes so easy. Traveling all the way from Cambridge was definitely worth it! 😊“

“I went there a while ago with my friends and the staff member was very kind. She allowed us to test some samples, was patient, and explained the different flavours and toppings to us. They have lots of cool and unique flavours that I had never heard about before but they were amazing. Would definitely recommend!“

“I’m a regular here at Baskin Robbins and just wanted to share my experience. Honestly, my visit didn’t start that great, but it completely turned around because of Nirav.
He was really chill and took the time to get what kind of flavors I like (I’m a big fan of mango and Jamoca Almond Fudge 😄). He let me try a few new ones, explained what goes into them, and suggested some options based on my taste. That kind of effort really stood out.
Super nice guy, clean tables, quick & accurate service in busy environment.“

“It was a pleasant surprise when we tried the coconut flavour. I would say it was my favourite so far. Service is quick and as friendly as you can get from a teenager since staff is about that young. It looked like they had no AC working so I felt bad for the girls and it felt very stuffy and that time but I do recommend the spot when you crave an ice cream in one of the warm sunny days along with the lake view.“

“Went for a quick treat with dad as other location on king/Ottawa was packed. Was in and out at this location.

Sucks they got rid of the bench out front,.but because of the neighborhood I can understand why.

I would encourage this location to not allow drug users to hang around their parking lot and taking up parking spaces. As I sat and had my ice cream, people came and left once they seen the drug users sitting there passed out.
Maybe get together with the store hire security to discourage this behavior.

Would be nice to have a small table out front instead having to sit in my hot car.. bring back the bench.“

“My experience with Dairy Queen tonite was superb I really enjoyed there peanut buster parfait and my mom really enjoyed her pecan mudslide“

“I had the pleasure of being served by the store manager, Ines this afternoon. What an absolutely delightful human being who truly loves what she does.
The ice cream itself is delicious of course but the level of service I received is what enticed me to leave a review!
I will definitely be back.
Thank you again!“

“I went there and got 100 puffs which you are supposed to only order in advance but the guy working there was super nice and allowed us to order it if we waited for him to make it which wasn't a problem. We got 4 different flavours and they were all really good, especially the cookies and cream ones. Nice location as well“

“Went to try the new flavours...the Soper and the Brown both were served with smiles and courtesy. Well worth the drive from St. Catharines“

“Service was exceptional tonight, staff was courteous and efficient, our orders were spot on. 5 stars“

“Amazing team! Always pleased with their work! Thank you DQ Hamilton Mountain(Fennell@ Upper Sherman) HAPPY EASTER!“
