Lots of selection (almost too much) along with unlimited mixing of toppings makes Marble what it is. Pricing is expensive for what you get from something like DQ but end result is worth it if you can spend up to $30-35 to feed a family of four. Hard ice cream has been consistent at this location and can't got wrong with their house made waffle cones and bowls. Overall pricy for what you get but it's delicious ice cream.

Kids scoop was only 4 Canadian dollars. The mocha coffee tasted so flavorful. We also had an affogato with Rompope and tasted so good! I can't describe it fully. Creamy, airy, so delicious. Such unique flavors. The chocolate was spicy and dark chocolate. My son had lemon flavored which was refreshing. There is cookies and cheese flavor which my youngest love. We had the Canadian Day which had a strong maple flavor.

Chunks of cheesecake over shaved ice, topped with whipped cream and a bit of condensed milk. This was my favorite! We also ordered mango bingsu which was topped with fresh mango, mango puree and whipped cream. I wasn't a fan of the mango puree as I found it a bit too sweet for my liking. If neither of these are too tie liking, they also have matcha, melon, blueberry, strawberry, etc flavors as well. Also, they have taiyaki and a few other menu items. Service is just like a take out place in which you order at the counter but they bring you your order. It does take a few minutes to make so bear that in mind. Tables are clean and orderly. Overall, great place conveniently located inside a strip mall.

Have been here 2nd time and it's always a pleasure to be in. First time my sons ordered the oreo…read moreand Strawberry desserts while hubby did the honeydew and I ordered the cheesecake one. I've tasted some of the Strawberry and I say it's one of the best flavor since it reminded me of a Strawberry shortcake. The Strawberry toppings are generous too and just enough sweetness that it's a nice indulgence. The honeydew is also generous but I found it a little hard since it might have been placed in a frozen honeydew fruit bowl . That idea is ingenious but maybe don't store it too long in the freezer prior to serving since it will make the rounded honeydew bits too cold for people with sensitive teeth. Mine isn't as generous on the toppings which I find the least appealing since there's no apt topping to boot it made the flavor a little bit lackluster. Overall tho it's a good experience. I suggest making some more variety of snacks so there's more choices if possible. Ambiance is great too. Comfy and nice touch with the warm and inviting decor and color palette and the people working are always helpful and friendly.

However, we were in the area so my sister suggested making a pitstop for dessert. We dropped in on a Tuesday afternoon (around 1:00pm). It's a tiny shop; currently only allowing one person/family in at a time. There was about 20 flavors to choose from (seasonal and summer specials). Sad that you currently can't sample any flavours. Lime cilantro sorbet (that wasn't listed) peaked my interest. - Double scoop ($8.00) - we added a waffle one ($1.00) and decided on the sour cherry and guava papaya sorbet as our two flavours. They were very generous scoops. The sour cherry was the winner with real pieces of cherry (a slightly sour bite). Stronger in papaya than guava flavour. I think their sorbet texture could use a bit of work but overall, we were happy campers. - Single scoop ($6.00) - my sister went with the same flavours as we weren't sharing. Always nice when you have the options to choose two flavours in a single scoop. Credit cards only. Massive scoops. 3.5 stars.

I have more money on my gift card so I'm hoping to go for breakfast there one morning soon!

Their selection of cupcake flavours is always interesting and allows you to choose a selection to bring home with you. My favourite part of the cupcake is (obviously) the icing and Brown Sugar has some of the best. They also do a gluten-free option for a cupcake and it is a quite impressive feat to create such a moist and tasty GF cupcake. If you enjoy cupcakes, you have to grab some from Brown Sugar on your way by!

Lovely little bakery with plenty of charm and great eats. My husband and I were in town for a…read morewedding and had breakfast on the patio back to back over the weekend with our pup (it's dog friendly) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The one thing I would say stood out enough to detract from a 5-star experience was an overall lack of service. You order inside and they bring your food to you, but service is slow, and both days we noticed that the staff don't really engage patrons unless spoken to first. This can make it very hard to figure out exactly how to order, if seating is self-service (it is), etc. it was insanely hot when we visited, for example, and while one day we were able to get larger glasses for water, the next they refused to give anything larger than a glorified shot glass...despite serving our mimosas in the same larger glasses. Overall it just read of a young team that was slightly disconnected and not overly concerned with customer experience, and that's something that made things take longer than necessary and put a slight damper on an overall wonderful experience.

My children have excelled in their musical pursuits. We have had the pleasure of working with two talented guitar instructors over the years, Kyle Tenove and Linden Conroy. Both have been extremely patient, knowledgeable, kind and clear communicators. They have created a supportive and positive learning experience. My kids are always excited to go to lessons. The lessons are always on time and the instructors have been quite flexible in providing online classes if required. The kids have been exposed to numerous styles and types of music. My son has recently learned finger picking style and jazz, and my daughter has been loving learning new chords and playing her favourite punk songs. They have grown in confidence and ability over the past several years and we could not be happier with the calibre and quality of the instructors, whom are professional working musicians. We love the ambiance of the café, staff are wonderful and welcoming. The food is always great and the cooler is packed full of soups and stews to take home. The treats are to die for. There is a great selection of locally made products as well. Couldn't be happier we found Cornerstone Music. We feel like we are part of a wonderful and supportive community there.
