    two bowls of ice cream
    Abigail G.

    I got the ice cream sundae with 2 scoops and it includes a bunch little jelly toppings. The ice cream was really creamy and I enjoyed the banana chocolate flavour the most. They sell other hot foods as well!

    Stumbled onto this place but when I saw the line up, I knew I was onto something. Just pointed to a poster and asked for the one with the jelly and chose random flavours. The ice cream is creamy and fruity, and if you get the one with the jelly there's fruit and nuts at the bottom. Is it me or is it super affordable for what you get?! 3 of us for $11.50... 2 small ice cream and the jelly sundae (the name I'll probably never find out but that's ok). Only 3 allowed in store and masks mandatory. I'll be back for more

    Two scoop ice cream with nuts and chocolate drizzle topped with wafer for $4.75.

    I love the ice cream from Lingan's Cream House. It's delicious and creamy yet is not excessively sweet. They have many different flavours, and in the past I have tried their pistachio, mango, Oatmeal cookie, cookies and cream and strawberry shortcake, and to be honest I love them all. Pictured is a 2-scoop cup with nuts, chocolate drizzle and wafer on top. I got the strawberry shortcake and cookies and cream since they did not have the oatmeal cookie (my fav) when I went in. Their price is reasonable too as it was $4.75 for the cup with 2 scoop. The line at this place is usually long since their ice cream is SO good. Will definitely recommend to try their ice cream if you're in the area. I have always been wanting to try their Falooda for a very long time since I have been hearing great things about it.

    Mango and pistachio ice-cream
    Dilanee S.

    A year later, I had a random craving for the ice-cream from here, so my friend and I decided to get some ice-cream before we went to work. The staff here are kind, but are not that talkative. Not a bad thing though. They are helpful. There are no seats in this store, so you must do take-out. The ice-cream here is pretty good! Definitely different from the ice-cream you get at supermarkets. I got a scoop of mango and a scoop of pistachio. The pistachio ice-cream is to die for, I loved it! The mango ice-cream was okay, I definitely had better.

    the place is very small, but don't let that fool you. the ice cream is delicious! so fresh and full of flavour. they also have traditional sri lankan food as well. staff was friendly. plenty of pictures so you know what you're getting. stopped here quick before leaving toronto... will be back again for sure!!

    The special with jelly at the bottom. Mango and pistachio ice cream with hot fudge and nuts
    Rebecca G.

    I came here with a few cousins on a hot day for some ice cream. They had a good variety of ice cream to choose from. I had two scoops. One mango and one pistachio. The mango tasted like mango lassi and the pistachio was very good but was expecting some chunks of pistachio nuts in it. We all had the special which has jelly at the bottom, a drizzle of hot fudge, sprinkled on peanuts and a waffle biscuit to top it off. Personally, I did not like the jelly. If you like jello, then you'll like this.

    Pink sherbet

    Randomly came across this place while doing errands, googled and found that it was featured on blogTO so decided to give it a try. They have canteen Sri Lanken food and icecream+desserts. My girlfriend loves icecream and she said the chocolate icecream was really good. It was smooth and not overly sweet. A size small was $3.50 and if you wanted the regular size that comes with this Sri Lankan type of jelly, it would be $5 something. I got this bright pink sherbet drink that came with jelly and vanilla icecream. If you like the taste of sweet pepto bismol go for it! I personally didn't like it and wouldn't recommend it. We also got fish samosas and mutton patties. There was a lot of batter but it was actually really tasty. Overall, the good: samosas and fish patties. The bad: the pink drink, slow service and small scoops of icecream.

    4 scoops of ice cream (pistachio) -$6.78
    Jeff G.

    Not all that impressed with the ice cream I had on this visit. I have been here once before and what I tried (mega scoop sundae) was better but pretty damn expensive. Overall, the products seem to lack in flavour to be quite honest. The pistachio ice cream I tried tasted overwhelmingly sweet and not much of anything else. This place was listed not too long ago as one of Toronto's better ice cream places. Though they do have many other ice creams and ice cream-based products that I cannot speak for, I am not all that impressed with what I have tried.

    Heard about all the hype, came to check it out. I ordered a hojicha soft serve which was good,…read morehowever, the hojicha flavor wasn't as strong as I had anticipated despite the color. 4 stars because it's pretty humid inside & the shop is too small to hang out in & comfortably accommodate customers despite the size and variation of their menu, which is a bit of a bummer. I'd be open to returning to give their matcha a try since that's what they're mainly known for.

    Tsujiri (Tsujiri Tea Store/Tsujiri Chaho/辻利茶舗) is a Japanese tea spot and bakery of well, Tsujiri…read morethe Kyoto/Uji tea company on Toronto's Dundas and Elizabeth. The company has been in business since 1860 making matcha, hojicha/houjicha and other green teas, and you happen to have this tea and dessert spot here and in multiple cities. (I usually don't get Tsujiri's teas as I have my usuals in Yamamoto and Itou En, but because I see the bad Ohtani/Ootani way too often on the latter's displays as in the one on the Bums obviously, Shouhei [with the good one being Ikue-san who for us non-Japanese residents mostly know her as the voice actress of "Pokemon's" Pikachu], I may have to start getting Tsujiri's more often and Itou En's less often for matcha and houjicha. [I intentionally add the "-san" honorific to the good Ohtani and drop it to the bad Ohtani.] Yes Toronto and Canada, I too wanted the bad Ohtani to go to the Jays, not the Bums, and if you have always wondered why the Dodgers are called that, when the Trolley Dodgers [people dodged incoming trolleys to get to work] and the Giants were still in New York City's Brooklyn and Manhattan respectively until 1958, "New York World-Telegram" cartoonist Willard Mullin back in the day called them that as they didn't win their first and only east coast title until 1955, though the fortunes are the total opposite since they moved out west to Los Angeles and San Francisco.) Just like what I did with my Jirou review, I'll in a bit point out what items I see here that are not in my local cafes and vice versa. This will be a good reference section for me should I have the power to return to the city, and it will also give both you Canadians that haven't visited any of their multiple locations yet and international visitors an idea of what to expect. While I sit at multiple spots in my temporary home inserting the usual "Yes guys, the ladies are cute!" statement, I better mention this important note. Do keep in mind that the place, with a simple tea house look, is narrow. There aren't many places to sit at. There are just 2, 3 tables? Right around there. Let me get the item comparison part out of the way. Items I recall seeing here that are not in my local Japanese/Japanese ties cafes/dessert spots (the latter type involves a place I reviewed in Satura, a mainly European cafe at one of my suburbs with Japanese ties, including a partnership with a cafe/bakery in Tokyo)? There are items such as yuzu kakigoori (Japanese shaved ice), shiratama dango, dango parfait, and soft serve ice creams of matcha and houjicha. Items I recall seeing in my usual spots that are not in Tsujiri? Besides the cute decorations (multiple Sanrio characters coming to my mind instantly), the local Japanese bakeries/cafes have items such as kouign amann, "Anpanman" pan, Japanese strawberry short cake, ube matcha latte, and Japanese sodas. The fun part section? Seeing that my K-foodie sis, her friend and I are in a tea shop, a (too) legit (to quit) Japanese tea shop, of course I had to get tea in some form, as I picked the cold houjicha latte. We also had the matcha houjicha soft serve, a daifuku and an order of dango. As expected, the foods and drink are so good. Even my sister's friend said that the place is a perfect 5/5, and my sis likes the place despite not being as fond of Asian cafes or Asian desserts/pastries that aren't Filipino as I am. (She does like European ones like kouign amann though.) The flaws section? Normally, I penalize a cafe a star if it doesn't carry a caffeine free drink as I seriously think about the kids and how I often don't need the insane amount of caffeine, but because Tsujiri is a Japanese green tea company, I can't deduct a point for not having a mugicha. Besides, outside of mugicha, houjicha is a good alternative for kids that are old enough anyway. So, with that said/typed, the only flaw I can think of is the limited parking, but of course, this is Downtown Toronto now. Tsujiri is that good of a tea spot. Though there isn't an ideal parking situation, the place is that good of a spot because of the good tea and food. It may never be my top Japanese cafe (I've known Clover for around 20 years or so), but it is that good never the less. If you're looking for a good cafe/dessert spot in Toronto or in multiple cities in Canada, go to a Tsujiri spot! +/Tsujiri is terrific at being hospitable and flashing dashing foods and drinks, and having multiple locations in the country shows how good the spots have been. -/There's limited parking, but of course, this is Downtown Toronto/whatever Canadian city you're from after all.
