Great ice cream and reasonable prices but the guy serving was surly beyond belief. I asked him if he had favorites or recommendations and he whispered something while looking down. I enquired again and his response(still looking down but a little louder) was«not really.» Nice attitude buddy. I ordered quickly and sat outside enjoying the lovely evening. I’ll definitely visit again but hope I don’t have to interact with him the next time.

I take the kids here often for a treat. The ice cream is great, but it really helps when you receive such outstanding service. I was served last night by an amazing employee named Heather, who is enthusiastic and never seems to stop smiling. She was really great with the kids, too. Just had to write a review. Thanks Heather and Ice Cream Junction for being a great little neighbourhood spot! I will be back a whole bunch!

Now that it’s summer, I’m always on the hunt for ice cream! This small shop is a great spot for a cone in the Junction! Firstly, I can’t help but love the pink and white cutsie color scheme. The walls are pink and white. The signage is pink and white. Even the giant lollypops for sale are pink. This place is very family friendly with short children’s stools and a wooden step for kids to see into the ice cream display. Note that seating is very limited, but you might be lucky enough to snag a seat inside or outside. As for the portions, they are indeed HUGE. I ordered a double scoop and I was pretty stuffed after. — Stuffed with delicious red velvet cheesecake and salted caramel truffle ice cream. Bloated yuuum. Great selection of flavours here and great value! :)

The ice cream is good, but it’s the service that stands out. My son has an allergy to milk protein, so ice cream shops have always been out of the question for us. Even though he can eat sorbet, we are too frightened by cross-contamination to risk it. That said, we stopped by this place and spoke to the owner. She was so amazing, and her and her staff take great care when serving my son his sorbet. Since then we’ve gone there too many times to count now and never a problem. As a parent of a child with a food allergy it can be heartbreaking when they want something so «normal» for other kids to eat(pizza, ice cream, etc) and they can’t. Having your 5 year old tell you he wishes he was«normal» is enough to tear at the hardest of hearts. So, when a place like this takes the time to be cautious & allows him a «normal» experience… That needs to be shared and the place applauded.

Wonderful little neighbourhood spot that’s only open during the warmer months. The décor is very 1950’s and overwhelmingly pastel, which only adds to the old timey charm. They have a plethora of ice cream flavours, all from Kawartha Dairy, and the scoops are pretty generous. For those with a smaller appetite, they offer a $ 0.75 kiddie scoop which is actually a fairly decent portion. My personal favourite is their rum raisin — it’s to die for!

Great neighbourhood gem that only opens from Spring to Fall. Glad they are open again, and this homemade ice cream place is usually packed with families and kids at all opening hours. They have a good variety of flvours, and I’ve noticed that some seem to change — like one day it was green tea, and then next there was irish cream. YUM. So it’s nice there will always be a surprise. Good prices, and huge portions. There is a small kiddie size for .75 which I think its the perfect size for me. I’ll get it next time because the waffle cone we ordered(two scoops) we actually froze and kept again for the 2nd day. Still amazing.

I walked over to the Ice Cream junction yesterday afternoon in search of a good cone. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a good variety of ice cream flavours like rum raisin, bordeaux cherry, and pralines and cream, to name a few. There was a wide selection of cone types(regular, sugar, waffle, etc.) and sizes to choose from. Milkshakes and root beer floats were on the menu as well. It was hard deciding what I wanted but I opted for bordeaux cherry ice cream in a sugar cone and was very pleased with the portion size. My daughter opted for orange sorbet and was very satisfied. The shop is just about as cute as it gets. Candy, lollipops, stripes… you name it, it’s there. The staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be going back. My only problem will be choosing my next flavour.

Ice cream is one of those things I rarely bring into the house because when I know it’s there I just cannotstopeatingit, so it’s always a treat to go out for some. Ice Cream Junction, just a bit west of Crema on Dundas West, makes that restraint worthwhile. Many kinds of ice cream with many different serving options, from super tiny cones for young children to sundaes and milkshakes; if you’re not into ice cream there’s also a ton of candy and chocolate for sale as well. Two additional details that work in favour of this place: First, on Fridays and Saturdays it’s open til midnight(and I believe the rest of the week they’re open until 8 if not later), which is great for night owls. Also, the people who run it area really nice; the guy put a bit too much ice cream in the machine when he was making my girlfriend’s milkshake and instead of throwing it out he brought it to us in a separate cup as we were eating outside — a small gesture, but one that went a long way.

Cute little ice cream shop in the Junction that’s a nice destination for warm summer night’s walk. Prices are fair — on par with Baskin Robbins. Good place for families and kids as they usually have a few small tables and stools outside for the young ones. Limited seating for everyone else. I would also recommend trying the ice cream at Delight Chocolates(slightly pricier but worth it).
