When you walk in you will have a great experience, excellent service, and an abundant of sweet treat offerings. The Ice Cream Stop is the kind of place childhood memories are made of, and for one of our kids the proof is still on the wall...16 years later, time flies but it's great to have a place like this to reminisce.

I was visiting Richmond Hill from out of town and decided to stop in for some ice cream. The ice…read morecream itself was very good, and the flavors we tried were delicious. Unfortunately, the service and portion size were disappointing. When we ordered, we were asked what flavor we wanted and what type of cone, but we were never asked what size we wanted. We were then served what appeared to be less than a single scoop of ice cream. I was genuinely surprised by how small the serving was--I've visited many ice cream shops in different places and have never received a scoop this small. The quality of the ice cream was excellent, which makes the experience even more disappointing. With better communication during the ordering process and more reasonable portion sizes, this could be a great place to visit. I hope this feedback is helpful and that future customers have a better overall experience.

You are greeted when you walk in the door from the register as well as by the smells of coffee and food being prepared. There's a cooler full of bottle beverages, a pastry case with the daily offerings, a book shelf and plenty of seating. I ended up order the seasonal maple spiced latte with almond milk and grabbing 2 of the canned sodas which were strawberry habanero soda and dry-hopped ginger ale. There was a bit of a wait for the latte as they get very busy with coffee orders on a Saturday morning, but once I tried it the coffee was definitely worth the wait. I would ask for more flavoring next time as there was just a hint of maple spice.

Its pretty good, a little on the sweet side but still a great latte. Got a breakfast burrito . They are on the small side but thats OK. One was enough and got one to take home. Apple Danish was good with big chunks of apple in the middle. Nice flaky dough. Decent pricing. There's plenty seating inside and a few table outside. There plenty parking in the lot. The employees were nice and helpful when I had questions about the drinks.

I noticed the kiosk set up of Ella Fresh Fruit Bar (EFFB) when I popped in to check out Taco Grande…read morea couple of weeks ago. Both Taco Grande and EFFB are all within the same space as Big Bazaar Indian and Mexican Grocery. I noticed the big banner hung outsIde of the building in Spanish, but it had fruit cocktail looking items and naturally, I was curious. Upon entering, I inquired inside and the Indian lady informed me it was opening this week, so here we are. This is a Mexican Style Fruit Bar. They have all sorts of fruit (and certain veggie) concoctions. Some have diced fruits, some are parfaits with layers of fruit flavored yogurt and some are just over the top (literally), like the one we chose! They had one with a combination of fruits and cucumber and other with jicama (pronounced he-kah-ma, a.k.a Mexican turnip). If you don't know, it's a root and I feel like it's almost a cross between an Korean/Asian Pear and a Daikon Radish. It has a similar texture to both, with the same crunch, but without the spicy-ness of the radish nor the sweetness of the pear. At first, you may think that the fruit concoctions themselves may not be Mexican, but the choice of combinations (like cucumber or jicama) with the way it's prepared and the choice of toppings they provide at the end, will make you think otherwise. They have chili powder, hot sauce, sprinkles (yes, sprinkles!) and this pink sugar-looking topping that is sweet, but sour! These were only some of the choices. What we ate - I picked the most over-the-top one for my kids and I....oooooooobviously! Fruit Cup - Spears of Honey Dew melon, pineapple, papaya, mangos and it had a Strawberry Rose! So pretty! All the fruits were ripe and sweet and the guy then squeezed half a fresh orange all over it (and was about to add lime too, but I declined as I was sharing with my kids). I chose not to put any toppings, because again, my kids. Sigh... Mango Rose - This was a special request from Yours Truly. I had seen the Strawberry Rose on the fruit cup and I asked him if he did the same with mangos, because I thought my kids would get a kick out of it. It's cheap entertainment! I told him that I was from Montreal and that I would see these Mango Roses sprinkled with chili powder during the Summer at festivals and they sold like hotcakes! He happily obliged and made us one. He picked a nice, ripe mango, peeled it, stuck a bamboo chopstick in the stem part and then cut it like a rose, just like at the festivals in Montreal! Oh, the memories! They all came back! Vibe - They have built the kiosk on the right of the space as you walk in. They are still waiting on their logos and menus, so please be patient. The whole space in general has a lot going on. Mexican grocery and EFFB on the right, butcher in the back, Indian Grocery in the middle, Taco Grande to the left and Arcade in the front, but hey, if you are looking for all those things, it's a one stop shop! They also let us eat our fruit treats at the tables on the Taco Grande side, so that was nice. Service - He was so nice. He gave my kids a piece of jicama to try and added the mango in the fruit cup which was not in the original cup. He went out of his way to get a mango, peel it and cut a few spears off and added it to the cup, because I told him they liked mangos. On top of that, he happily executed my request for the Mango Rose because he knew what I was talking about and knew how to do it. Now is that great customer service?! Yes or yes?! Kid-Friendly - Yes! Both kids devoured it! Five dollars for an overflowing fresh fruit cup and two dollars for a Mango Rose was money well spent IMO, especially for a healthy after school treat and the memories it brought back of home.

The smoothie had the perfect balance of not too sweet, super refreshing, and you could actually taste the real fruit.
