But there are also hot items on their menu like funnel cakes and fries. They also serve whole cakes, cheese cake (from Cheesecake Factory), and other take-home desserts. The ice cream here is Kawartha brand so it's quality stuff. Sometimes the flavours swap around. My go-to is almost always Black Raspberry Thunder. You can never go wrong with that. I ordered an Iced White Chocolate Mocha once and unfortunately that was a miss for me. It was an absolute sugar bomb that was way too sweet, but maybe I'm not the target audience for it. I did go into a dessert shop and order an ice coffee. I think the place recently went through some renovations. It looks pretty cute inside and there are some nice little decor pieces that make for some pretty Instagrammable pictures.

Depending on when you arrive, the shop can get busy, especially on warm days, but the friendly staff keep things moving quickly and make sure everyone gets served with a smile. You can sample a few flavors before choosing, which makes the experience even more fun. Each order comes with two scoops--same or different flavors--and you can choose from Kiddie, Regular, or Large sizes, served in a cup or waffle cone (for a small extra cost). We tried "Tanzanian Dark Chocolate" and "Pistachio" gelato and "Coffee Almond Fudge" and "Rock of Ages" from ice cream flavours, both in waffle cone. Every flavour was rich, creamy, and delicious.

I wasn't really hungry enough to be eating dessert, but I can never say no to Burnt Marshmallow ("Our signature scoop! Tastes exactly like a campfire marshmallow that has been perfectly burnt"). I grabbed a small scoop in a cup and took it back to the car. It was glorious. It was super creamy and loaded with flavor, and though I didn't meant to, I wound up finishing the whole thing. I regret nothing. It's good to know that Ed's is still maintaining their quality after all these years.

A treat and special place for certain, but worth a stop by when your nearby.

They also have a good selection of ice cream flavours too. One thing that surprised me was that they decorates the ice creams with cotton candy, cherry, pineapple chicks, and waffle cone.

I remembered that it was January 31st. It meant that pre-packed ice cream at Baskin-Robbins was 50% off. I did a search and found this store nine minutes away by car. Perfect! I drove over here. This store is located in a fairly busy plaza. I found a parking spot steps away from the entrance. However, a driver was too impatient to wait two seconds for me to back out of my parking spot and drove past me. I wasn't impressed. There was a lineup at this Baskin-Robbins store. I noticed that there was a sign on the freezer door where all the ice cream cakes and pre-packaged ice cream were. It said to not open the freezer door. Instead, it was best to wait to be served. I was in the lineup, looking at the menu and the ice cream varieties in the fridge. I wanted to get rainbow sherbert, but didn't see it in the freezer. I got the nicest woman behind the counter. I said that I was getting a couple of pre-packed frozen dessert containers. I asked if she had rainbow sherbet. She nodded. Yay! I got these flavours: - Rainbow sherbet - Mango tango ice cream The frozen containers of goodness were indeed 50% off. I paid with a credit card. Done! The woman placed my two containers in a paper bag. I thanked her for her help and happily headed to my car. I drove home to safely stow them in my freezer. I have had the rainbow sherbet so far. It's so good! The rainbow flavours consist of pineapple, raspberry, and orange. Pure happiness! I've had the mango tango ice cream before. It's equally as yummy. We've had a lot of snow lately. Mango tango makes me forget about the mounds of snow outside. I envision being in a tropical setting as I indulge in this yummy frozen dessert. I liked my visit here. Just don't open the freezer door. (56)

Pro Tip (or maybe something to think about) - order the waffle cone and your scoop(s) separately, and build your ice cream cone at home! We ordered a Jamocan/Chocolate Mousse, a kiddie cup of the praline/pecan, and a single scoop of mint chocolate chip - no complaints! Overall the BR looked clean, from what we saw - your standard level you'd expect from a chain.

The lady working there was really nice and welcoming, and we were able to get samples before deciding which is always a plus when there are so many flavors to choose from. I really wanted to try their seasonal pumpkin flavor. it was delicious, with a nice hint of cinnamon that gave it a cozy fall feel. They're well known for their burnt marshmallow flavor, so we got that too. You can pick two flavors in one cup, and the scoops were generous which was perfect for sharing between the three of us. They also have hot chocolate which i didn't try but I'll definitely come back in the winter to try it. The store itself is pretty small. The gelato is at the front, but the ice cream is in the back. I didn't see many people ordering gelato, most seemed to be there for the ice cream. There was a short line when we arrived after dinner, but it moved quickly. There isn't much seating, but we managed to grab some bar seats by the window, which worked out perfectly.

I ended up getting a double scoop to eat on the spot, and a pint of CreameryX vegan icecream to take home. The Lansdowne icecream double scoop was pretty good. The Peanutbutter Mudpuddle catered perfectly to my sweet tooth with a rich chocolate base and generous dollops of peanut butter. The Muskoka Mocha was a bit disappointing as it was somewhat generic mocha and icey in some parts. Bonus stars and kudos to this place for offering CreameryX because that coconut cream pie vegan icecream was outstanding. Definitely on the sweeter side, but a strong coconut taste and a really creamy base makes it a winner.
