“My recent visit to Ice Flame in Hamilton was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The food, oh, the food! It surpassed all expectations. I highly recommend trying their Kaju Gulkand ice cream, Masala fries, and Rabri Falooda - they were simply divine!What truly impressed me was not just the delicious food, but also the impeccable hygiene standards observed in the kitchen. I had the privilege of peeking into the kitchen, and I was astounded by its cleanliness and organization. It's clear that the staff at Ice Flame take great pride in maintaining a hygienic environment.Needless to say, I am now a lifetime customer of Ice Flame. If you're in Hamilton and looking for an extraordinary dining experience, look no further than Ice Flame. You won't be disappointed!“

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! you won’t great it!Dietary restrictions: Many vegan options! And peanut free which I truly appreciate!“

“Sadly I have lived in Hamilton for four years and only recently discovered Easterbrooks. If you’re a fine dining foodie this may not be your place. However their hot dog options are worth the visit. I was amazed at the amount of food we received and the further amazed at the affordable cost. I will be returning.“

“Truly a hidden gem. Nothing like finding the best ice cream in Hamilton at the back of a tiny convenience store.I wonder if they make their own ice cream because it's unlike any ice cream I've had in Hamilton, very rich and creamy and not overly sweet. I got vanilla ice cream and each bite surprised me with how fresh it tasted.Watching the man make the rolls was also a unique experience. Quality was top notch and I will definitely be back to try their many unique flavours.“

“Restaurant is takeout only. Fried chicken was crunchy and well seasoned. Good sized chicken and portions were plenty. Macaroni salad and fries were good. Price was affordable. Staff are friendly, hardworking and knowledgeable of their products. Highly recommend ?“

“Great burger spot. Delicious food and they have beef bacon which we can never find anywhere. What really stood out was their customer service. They came and checked in on us after our meal to make sure we enjoyed our food and offered free ice cream to our kids. Really kind young men working there. Happy to support them while enjoying delicious juicy burgers!! We shall be back!!Vegetarian options: Veggie burgersDietary restrictions: Halal burgers, beef bacon for those who don't eat pork or eat halalKid-friendliness: Very friendly staff offered free ice cream to our kids, kids burgers and tornado fries!“

“Fantastic source of allergen free and vegan baked goodies. Aways lots of choice and friendly service. Pro tip - store anything you won't eat same or next day in the freezer. Takes only moments to defrost and texture keeps better. Best things here are the lemon loaf - available only on weekends tho!“

“We came here for some crepes and their fruit salad. The portion size was great for the price, everything made to order. The Pistachio Crepes were really good. Not too sweet and the presentation of the whole plate looked amazing. The staff were very nice and patient, even with lots of people dining in and more ordered being made, they took their time making the dishes. If you dine in they take the plate and clean the table with a smile.When we left, we even bought 2 milkshakes home for the kids. And even in the takeout cups the presentation looked good.It’s nice to have another good dessert spot to go to in Hamilton.“

“We go here regularly and always enjoy it. Staff are friendly and they always get our big family through quickly. Plenty of flavors, good quality ice cream and always something interesting worth trying if you want to stray from your favorite.“

“Plenty busy as there were multiple little league baseball games going on the day I went. Parking was a zoo. Be sure to check the baseball schedules for the park before going.Loads of flavours to choose from, including vegan and lactose free.“

“Well its more of takeout…so not judging for atmosphere…….but the hot chocolate is out of the world…….the flavor of chocolate is very good……local eatery gives you the best quality chocolate…….highly recommend the dark chocolate and raspberry flavored hot chocolate ……Also they give you an option to combine two flavors………best for the winter season…….if your on way to burlington waterfront……..just visit this place……worth a shot……Kid-friendliness: They would love the ice cream cones and their hand made chocolates“

“"I recently tried the strawberry ice cream rolls at EZ Ice Cream Rolls, and my experience was made even better thanks to the excellent service provided by Simranjit Kaur. She was not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly skilled at crafting the perfect ice cream rolls. Simranjit took the time to explain the process and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Her attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction made my visit truly enjoyable. I highly recommend trying the strawberry ice cream rolls at EZ Ice Cream Rolls, and when you do, be sure to ask for Simranjit Kaur – you won't be disappointed!"“

“Editing to add that in addition to owner Lise-Anne's fair response below, she also followed up by resolving this matter via e-mail. Much appreciated!----Second time purchasing Fairly Frosted's products at Bake Healthii. Bought $25 worth, which included gingerbread biscotti at over $6+ alone. Found the product in their freezer - defrosted at home and much to our disappointment, the biscotti was still rock hard. Could not bite into it unless you would prefer chipped or broken teeth. Tried microwaving it, which left a burnt taste, therefore, ultimately tossing it.Owner's response? To assess remaining biscotti when they dropped off more products to Bake Healthii. No follow-up. No replacement. Such poor customer service.Will no longer be supporting this business, which is a shame considering other desserts I purchased were enjoyable.“

“Very creamy delights. 2 scoops is good for 2 people. The container is not big enough for the ice cream. I appreciate the huge portions of the scoops but was not impressed since the ice cream was melting down the sides and had no choice but to transfer to a water bottle. Also the staff didn't consider that any adult person buying would likely be driving and enjoy the treat at home. Unlike the other ice cream parlor that I visited, the staff even asked if I needed a lid and the cups were slightly bigger to accommodate 2 scoops. That explains the 4star rating for this place- small cups. This business has been around for 26yrs, I hope the owner consider buying bigger cups with lids for the ice cream..if not, please advise your staff to use small cup per scoop so that its not overloaded. Thank you.“

“Amber was so nice and welcoming.Aside from the delicious ice cream and chicken burger I gotta say:Love the atmosphere hereIf your into vintage collectibles or diner like restaurants, this place is right up your alley. They have so many cool things from back in the day. Even a record player. Cool spot. Thank you!“

“I was torn between two different flavours and the employee recommended both, if I ordered a kids single scoop. A single scoop is actually 2 scoops.The ice cream was excellent. The service was great and helpful. I will definitely be going back again. They also have the original Tiger Tail for all those lovers out there.“

“I wish I could give more stars to this local Hamilton gem of a cake shop. The flavour of the cake was so nostalgic to me and my family, we were instantly bring up memories of our best birthday feature this flavour of cake! This was truly beyond my wildest cake dreams and I’ll be order all my cakes from here from now on <3Ps. The owner is the warmest and kindest soul with a heart of pure gold!“

“First time and I did read some of the reviews. Reviews said it is empty in there. Well look at the line. Reviews said lack of variety look at the menu and indulge. It is fabulous. And best of all it tastes great. Great gelato. Highly recommended.“

“Couple of my friends already recommend their ice cream. Just got there 10 minutes ago and it was closed. Tried calling few times but all got to VM. Talked to their rep on their Facebook page and they told us that they opened May - Labour day.Very sad. Hopefully everyone can read this before going there. Otherwise, try their ice cream next season.“

“Amazing Ice-cream!! Unfortunately I forgot to take photos but they were absolutely delicious. My friend and I had the Nutella Crunch and peanut butter explosion, and they were soo good. Big portion sizes were a regular and it feels like you got your money worth for sure. I was helped by Courtney, and she was so nice, and as was my first time here, she talked up the sundaes. Thanks so much!!“

“If you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely the place to come! So many delicious treats to pick from, including phenomenal ice cream concoctions and too many flavours of cotton candy to choose from. Friendly service and a fun local Hammer vibe!“

“Their gelato are delicious. I had their gelato couple of times. Yesterday I had chocolate and coconut, it was great and was generous amount. Next time, I would try other flavors as they have lots of different mouthwatering flavors. Thank you guys :)“

“Very cool rolled ice cream and Vietnam Coffee shop on Locke Street. Excellent Vietnamese coffee in two ways. Standing Zip and seal bag n sip coffee, available in four flavors (I went with Ube). And my new favorite way to have vietnamese coffee, Rolled Ice cream style topped with crushed sponge toffee, condensed milk, and grass jelly. Refreshing , delicious, and creamy. They also have more cool flavors that I will have to try through the summer. Definitely a must try“

“Amazing gelato with even more incredible staff! There was so many different flavours, even with staff recommendations it was hard to choose. Absolutely no regrets getting the strawberry though! My new favourite place for a nice, cool treat on a hot summer day!“

“Just visited for Father’s Day and safe today the place had easy and fast service even during a rush where the line was to the door. In addition to that, the pricing is the best I have seen for an ice cream place! We spend about 28 dollars for a total of 6 scoops where one was in a waffle cone, and they were delicious and refreshing, everyone enjoyed! I got the rainbow sherbet and it was just… so good! Will come again if I’m in the area and craving ice cream ?“

“Here is another little hidden treasure for people wanting to cool off or just enjoy a great ice cream cone. The people that run the place are super friendly and love seeing people enjoying their products. They have a huge selection of ice cream and toppings. Even tiger tail that I find hard to get. I had a scoop of tiger tail and a scoop of Spiderman. Awesome choices. And they don't give a tiny scoop , they are old school and give you a huge scoop every time. Worth the visit and definitely I'm going back soon. Lol maybe today.“
