“Picked up ice cream cupcakes for Autism Ontario event today! They were an amazing treat on a hot day! My kids were very surprised and super grateful for such things! Thank you to the lady owner that spoke to me and held on to the treats as I was unable to pick them up before! She really made my kids day! My son who is autistic said it was the most delicious treat ever 😍 thank you for your generosity! We will be back to enjoy more treats in the future for sure! 🥰🥰🥰“

“Friends told me about Willard's and as a former (?) Hamiltonian I had to check it out..glad I did..by far the best ice cream I have ever had..had blueberry (vegan) and banana fudge..returning..soon“

“Sooo good. - and we’ll organized!“

“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.“

“Would recommend — large portions of delicious food for a great price!!“

“this is my absolute most favorite place to go when iam downtown Hamilton! I have been going here for many years now! the lady who runs this place is always soo friendly! she always has a smile on her face when you walk threw the door! she loves to get to know her customers! I recommend A&J superbowl to everyone I met. this is the BEST spot to get bubble tea and many more sweets! 💯🤞🏻“

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

“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 ❤️“

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

“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“

“🍦Boardwalk Fries & Ice Cream Parlour has such a fun old-school atmosphere! The whole place feels like stepping back in time, with vintage signs, retro decor, and lots of little details to look at. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even nicer.

I tried the strawberry matcha ice cream, but unfortunately, it was a little disappointing for me. The flavor was very mild and almost tasted like there wasn’t enough matcha or strawberry in it.

The cherry ice cream, however, was much better! 🍒 It had a more noticeable flavor and actual pieces of cherries in it, which I really enjoyed.“

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

“Love EZ Rolls 💕 Amazing staff and delicious ice cream! Not going to lie we have been several times they now know our order lol Nutella Banana 🍌 is the family favourite. See you guys soon!“

“Bought the raspberry bars, creme brulee cookies and strawberry milkshake cookies this past weekend. WOW!! Everything was so good. No one could believe that something so good was gluten free. The cookies were soft and the bars were perfect!! Kelly's does not disappoint!!“

“Amazing service! The person who served was very friendly her name Shams, polite, and attentive. She made sure everything was perfect and made us feel very welcome. Great attitude and excellent customer service. Definitely made our experience even better. Highly recommend! 😊thank you Shams“

“The Gelato's are great, flavourful and creamy but only get one when the lady is serving, the guy is cold and extremely stingy with portions. He will give you only half of what you're paying for ! Considering that, it's expensive. But if money and some coldness is not an issue then definitely go for it. I would go again just for that mean gelato😈 balancing sweet with a pinch of bitterness from a cute old man reminding me of home and how love can be shown in different ways 🙃 love you old man. Hope you feel happier soon and smile more❤“

“We hired Crazy Cravings Mobile Ice Cream Parlour for our company picnic this past weekend and an incredible treat. They showed up early, set up and served all of our staff and their family's some tasty treats. They were professional, polite, and had fun laughing and joking with everyone. I would highly recommend Crazy Cravings Mobile Ice Cream Parlour.“

“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 can’t say enough great things about Marble Slab Ancaster! Every visit is an amazing experience, not just because of the delicious ice cream, but because of the incredible customer service. The staff are always so kind, patient, and welcoming, and they consistently go above and beyond to make every customer feel special.

What stands out the most is how wonderful they are with children. They always take the time to interact with the kids, chat with them, and make them feel included in the experience. No matter how busy the store is, the staff are patient and attentive, helping little ones choose their flavours and mix-ins with a smile. Their genuine kindness and enthusiasm make every visit exciting for the kids and stress-free for parents.

The team creates such a warm and positive atmosphere that it feels like more than just a place to grab ice cream. They truly make our day every time we visit. The store is always clean, the ice cream is fresh and delicious, and the customer service is second to none. Usually with little kids it becomes difficult to go out but we’ve always felt welcome here :)

Thank you for consistently providing such outstanding service and for making our family feel so welcome. We always leave with smiles on our faces and look forward to coming back.

If you're looking for amazing ice cream and a team that genuinely cares about their customers, Marble Slab in Ancaster is the place to go!“

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

“Delicious creamy frozen yogurt in many flavours. Lots of toppings to choose from. Even smoothies.“

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

“you have no idea the amount of money i spent here in the past just because there was a reliable internet connection. I went last week and there was a sign that says to "talk to each other" and to "pretend it's 1995". keep up with the times or you will lose the few loyal clients you have left. other than that, the coffee is still great.“

“Lots of delicious flavours of ice cream and sorbet!“

“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.“

“the puffs were great! they were fresh and warm when i got them. if you have a sweet tooth this is for you! i wouldn’t recommend getting this if you prefer foods not too sweet!
the choco bueno was amazing and i would buy this again!! I got reece’s too but they weren’t my fav“

“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 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! 😊“

“Loved seeing the old Dairy Queen; What a blast from the past!

We went just before 5pm so it wasn’t busy at all. We were served right away!

My go-to here is always a Sundae with Hot Fudge and Cherry toppings - absolute delish.

You also can’t go wrong with a large Chocolate Dipped Cone.“

“I have been doing birthday cakes for years with BR! And i just want to thank the artist who custom designed the cake exactly as i asked🫶🏻 you did a great job and it’s prettier than what i expected ❤❤“

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