I had the affogato. It supremely blended the delicious creamy flavour of the custard with the rank taste of espresso to make overall a perfectly adequate experience.

Ladies and gentlemen I am proud to announce that Jedd is making a coming back. I repeat Jedd is making a come back. I had the privilege of talking to him today at the front street food festival and he assured me he’s be back in 2016. Seems like a long time to wait but if you’re a frozen custard lover like myself it’s a drop in the sweet treat bucket. He’ll be operating out of union station hopefully by Spring 2016. Hopefully between now and then you’re able to catch him at other street fairs around the city. His custard is as sweet as it is smooth. I await his return with eager anticipation.

Another Toronto place that has a lot of potential but fails to live up to its full potential. The sweets and pastries are nice, the service is inconsistent. During our last visit the owner was very rude to the person working there and they got into this fight with me standing there watching them. It was definitely a huge turnoff and I will not be back there again.

Very rich flavour, but also has a slightly strange tang to it.

Stopped in here with my girlfriend on a Friday night after dinner to try some of their famous frozen custard. We tried both the chocolate and vanilla and we really liked them. Its like really creamy ice cream. The place was cozy and the guy behind the counter was really friendly too. Definitely recommended.

A shot of espresso over a scoop of frozen custard = heavenly!!! It was so good I had double up! Note of caution: super addictive!!!

Nice little café in Midtown with custard instead of ice cream. It’s pretty much a more eggy ice cream. I had the sundae and the affogato which came to less than $ 10. It’s great in the summer time because they have outdoor seating and the ambiance is very homey with many people working on laptops or reading. I would want to try the waffle next.

This place is perfect for a rest stop or cool off from the heat whilst taking walks around Eglinton! I had the milkshake which was so yummy! Great flavour, texture and thickness! not to thick that you cant get it up the straw but thick enough that it feels like a, well milkshake! I also had a lemon mirangue which was delicious but the base was a bit hard! All in all a lovely little place to stop and have a milkshake although I was surprised to find it a little pricey!

I write this in the middle of a severe frozen dessert jones. Of course, I could satisfy my cravings in any number of places, high-end and low. Within a short walk I can indulge in just about any scoop or soft-serve delight the city has to offer. But somehow, I crave something different. It’s hot enough to crave something chilly, but not so hot that I don’t want butterfat. RIch. Creamy. Butter. Fat. Luckily, Jedds is just up the block. Featuring a limited menu of «frozen custards» alongside decent coffee and exquisitely pretty pastries, Jedds also has laid-back seating and a barista-cool vibe. Bring a date. Or your wife. Or both, if that’s how your roll. I don’t judge. That said, I’d eat their frozen custard sitting on a cardboard box in the street. It is supremely creamy; holding its structure long after the Dairy Queen cones of the world have given up the ghost. Fat carries flavours, and Jedds’ are subtle. Coffee one day, maple the next, swirled with more standard flavours like milk chocolate or floral vanilla. If you’re a fan of chunky ice cream, these treats are not for you. They’re all about mouthfeel. and RIch. Creamy. Butter. Fat. My only criticisms of Jedd’s are that it’s too close(a longer walk would better burn the delicious, delicious calories), and in tribute to a certain US based frozen custard chain, I wish to God I could order a cookie puss.

I loved it. On Yonge and Eglinton, definitely a great location. I’d gotten a waffle with chocolate frozen custard, and my friend got an Affogato with plain frozen custard. It was delicious. The custard seemed creamier than ice cream and man with the combination of the waffle, it was scrumptious. The waffle was pretty good. It was a bit on the harder side, but as the custard seeped into the waffle, with the addition of strawberries, each bite was better than the last. The affogato. Well, what can I say? I haven’t tried an affogato before, and this was indeed a revelation. The espresso with frozen custard? Awesome. The bitterness and caffeine of the espresso combined with the sweetness of the custard was definitely a great combination. The store itself had a pretty solid front. I chose to sit in the patio. It wasn’t too shabby. The staff behind the counter was really friendly and he had solid suggestions. They even do lunch stuff! And me being a vegetarian, they seemed to have great veggie options for lunch. I’d definitely be back here, and this is definitely a great date spot. Fairly priced, has it’s reasonable choice of caffeine fixes, and a solid desert selection. Definitely one of the better cafés, here at Yonge and Eglinton.

Place was empty when we came in, only underscored by the fact that there was no music playing– but hey, we were there for the food. Ordered the chocolate milkshake and a waffle to split– both were good. Chocolate shake was quite tasty, and the waffle was warm and we enjoyed what we’d ate. I’d say the only disappointment was that the frozen custard really didn’t seem like much other than traditional ice cream, but maybe I just don’t have enough of a refined taste to tell the difference? Either way, it was good, but it won’t be on the top of our list for a return visit.

Wonderful little bakery/dessert place! I watched my gf who is unable to finish a cup of soup, inhale her waffle as if it were going to be her last meal. Jedd’s offers up not only waffles, but frozen custard! Who would have thought… The place itself is rather small and unassuming. There are plenty of tables but I arrived pretty late because we were hunting for some dessert after dinner. Jedd’s got some good reviews so in we went. The menu is rather small but did offer up some goodies. They had baked goods and some small cakes as well. I ordered up a slice of pumpkin cheesecake(I love most things pumpkin), and the gf(though she claimed how full she was) decided to order the largest thing there… the waffle with a scoop of frozen custard. The pumpkin cheesecake is exactly as it sounds. It was cheesecake that tasted like pumpkin pie. I couldn’t explain it any better than that. Imagine a slice of pumpkin pie, but instead of velvety smoothness, you’re getting cakier and cremier forkfuls. My girlfriend told me the waffle was so incredible. She loved it so much that I was only able to get one bite from it, while she inhaled the rest… The waffle was made on the spot so it took like 10 minutes to make, but its well worth the wait. The frozen custard was wonderful. I thought the custard was going to be a bit sweeter, but it had a nice tart to it that made me love it that much more. It pairs well with the waffle because the heat emanating from the waffle melted that custard and soaked it all in like a sponge. Place doesn’t stay open too late but the lady working there was so nice in letting us eat our dessert there 15 min before close. Didn’t want to keep her so we finished quickly. Prices are a tad high but being that it’s the Yonge/Eglington area, you can’t really complain.

Been meaning to check out this place. First off, kudos for the super warm greetings and friendly service. They even brought out my snacks to my table and I didn’t expect that from a café. Had a mini quiche to start– Bacon, grilled onions and emmental cheese. It was pretty tasty but I’m a sucker for quiches so that’s an easy sell for me :) The Dumas tart was Delicious. Don’t know which part I liked best, maybe the wafer walls or the noisette mousse/custard. The crust was not the right texture and stuck to the plate but otherwise this was chocolatey nutty perfection. Disappointed that i got no latte art and it was a bitter brew. Also a bit let down by the selection ESP for cheesecakes. There was not much, see my pics and you’ll see. Nothing like others’ pics. So overall not a bad spot. I RECOMMEND– the Dumas TIP– seats are comfy but tables are kind of high for laptops/typing. Impractical. TIP2STAFF– the manager was screaming. I planned to enjoy the music but she kept going on about everything and anything and chatting so soooo loudly. Mood kill.

On a pleasant Spring day stroll, I made my way inside this cute, charming coffee shop. Wanting to mind my waist line, I chose not the sandwiches or quiches, but the butter croissant and mint tea. Yes, some habits die hard! The croissant was soft & it flaked off in my mouth! It was a piece of heaven. The Moroccan mint green tea had a very strong green tea flavour. I much prefer pure mint tea.

Tried the affogato(espresso shot poured over frozen vanilla custard) because of all the amazing reviews it got on here(it was also listed as a «reviewer favourite» in the store). I honestly couldn’t understand what all the hype was about. It is was a tasty treat, but maybe I was expecting too much and was disappointed. There were a bunch of other cakes, quiches and pastries that looked good. I would visit again if I was in the area to try some of the other things they serve there.

I was doing some work visits yesterday and decided to drop in. Unassuming place — I had to take a double-take to see if: 1) it was Jedd’s and 2) it was open. This could be due to the fact that it’s January … because reading other reviews, it seems to be more open in the summer months. I just had lunch so I couldn’t eat much. Next time, I’d like to try the famous frozen custard though. Lunch is available — the quiches looked tasty(quiches and pastries are from Phipps and Rahier, two amazing bakeries in the city). I’m a fan.

I work in the area and was delighted to find another place to eat for lunch… a cute little café with sandwiches, soups, pastries, hot bevvies and, of course, frozen custard! I start with a delicious homemade bowl of soup(chicken and veg, which they seem to have available daily) and top it off with a heavenly scoop of frozen custard. Yum-tastic! The«affogato»(two shots of espresso poured atop a small scoop of vanilla custard) is as amazing as they say it is, BUT at $ 5.95 plus tax($ 6.37) it’s too pricey to get on a regular basis. Jed: make it under $ 5, taxes in, and I’ll drink one every hour on the hour :)

It’s not ice cream. It’s not gelato. It’s not fro-yo. It’s freaking awesome frozen custard! …Fro-cu??? Maybe not. Anyways. I ordered a scoop of vanilla frozen custard. My custard barista winked at me and told me I wouldn’t be disappointed. He’s was right. Cold, creamy, light, and not too sweet. It’s one simple but perfect dessert. I’m an addict. I want more. Now. Right now. I hear the affogato is pretty spectacular, so I’ll be back maybe earlier in the day so I’m not wired on espresso all night. I’m totally going here tomorrow. And I’m getting two scoops!

I found Jedd’s Frozen Custard by accident two years ago. I haven’t been in there very often since because I don’t live in the area but the place has left me with very good impressions. Back then I took a girl there on our first date and to this day we’re still together. I like to try different places and this one has a very unique atmosphere. Maybe not the most amazing, but I find it really nice and relaxing. Service is excellent and they even bring your coffee to your table. I felt like it’s the kind of place you can visit and enjoy on either a sunny, or a rainy day. I am also not an expert, but so far I like everything I ordered in there.

Affogatto! Espresso over Jedd’s Frozen Vanilla Custard! oh it is so so so so good… Now I really taste the difference between ice cream(meh) VS frozen custard(yay!). It is definitely an adult treat. after licking my bowl I am in sugar high and caffeine high and ready to face the cold chilly weather! Life is so so good!
