    Ice cream pies
    Jonny M.

    We grabbed some ice cream after dinner at Ed's Real Scoop. I've been to one of their other locations before, impressed they have four shops total. It's a few doors down from Café Polonez. We dropped in on a busy Friday evening (around 8:45pm). The line kept on getting longer and was eventually out the door. That being said, service was quick and efficient. There's a variety of ice cream, gelato, sorbet and yogurt options. Scoops are $4.56 (kiddie), $5.57 (regular) and $7.82 (large). Nice that you can get two flavours with any size option. They also have pies, cakes, ice cream sandwiches and pints. - Regular ($5.57) - we went with red hot chili chocolate and apricot sorbet. Both flavours were satisfying and the texture was spot on. Apricot was fruity and a touch tangy. Red hot chili chocolate had a subtle, underlying heat and reminded me of a not too sweet fudge. Our other friends tried passionfruit yogurt and espresso, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed/devoured. ERS is a solid ice cream spot.

    They get 3.5 stars. Kiddie maple walnut was ok. It had a very delicate flavour. The walnut was stronger than the maple. Ice cream sandwich was better: Chocolate chip cookie with vanilla bean ice cream was good. The cookies were mostly still crisp & rich & tasty. The ice cream was rich & creamy.

    Another window set up due to Covid-19 protocols. This shows restaurants are still capable of operating safely for customers. My fiancé and I decided to get a regular cup which consisted of two scoops varying two flavours. We picked strawberry ice cream & pistachio gelato. Their menu had an array of different flavours from ice cream, gelato, and sorbets. However, milkshakes are currently not available at this location for the time being. The total came out to $5.80, which was reasonable. We got a cute designed cup as shown in the photo. Two decently sized scoops of strawberry and pistachio. The strawberry flavour was delicious and sweet. It contained small strawberry chunks as well that made it much more enjoyable. For the pistachio, it had a refreshing nutty taste that isn't apparent as other pistachio flavours I've had before. It really tasted smooth and new for me. My stomach could really tell this was real dairy, but it doesn't affect the rating because the ice cream and gelato was fresh and tasty. I am looking forward to trying out the other flavours in the future! -TwoHappyThumbs

    Ed's Real Scoop scoops the good stuff and keeps it real. Their name is bang on, great job Ed. This Roncesvalles staple brings all the kids to the yard, so if you aren't a family person, you might get a little overwhelmed here. I, however, almost always have my tiny psycho (said with love) in tow, so I'm here for this family-friendly ice cream shoppe. My daughter loves their strawberry in a small cone. To her, it is the greatest snack food in all of Toronto. I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but when I do their burnt marshmallow can't be beat, and they've got espresso milkshakes if you want to perk up sweetly this summer.

    I went for a walk this afternoon and stopped in at Ed's Real Scoop. I was craving an ice cream and as I've never been there before, I thought I'd stop in. You can buy ice cream to take home. They make their ice cream in-house. There were lots of flavours of ice cream and gelato to choose from! I got a large cup with a scoop of Deepest Darkest Chocolate ice cream and a scoop of Coconut ice cream. Both were delicious! There were tiny crunchy chunks of chocolate in the chocolate ice cream. My server was friendly and helpful. I'll be back!

    Nice selection for take out.

    Ice cream isn't all the same. Enough said. But, need to add, plenty of sections. Great texture, just the right combination to not make it heavy (so that you can continue eating scoops after scoops). Beyond premium.

    First day opening on March 29th! They were pretty busy!

    tl:dr - FIRST YELPER HERE! Anyhoo, the same team from Ed's in the Beach and Leslieville, is back at it in Roncy. Definitely a welcome addition to this west end neighbourhood! Oh I got to meet THE ED of Ed's Real Scoop :) This was a stopover while waiting for my table over at Barque Smokehouse. Much to my surprise, it was their first day opening and they still had the fresh paint smell that will probably go away in about a week or so. It was a nice distraction to hold us over for the half an hour wait over at Barque. Much to my surprise we were greeted by THE Ed of Ed's Real Scoop and his wife Jennifer. They told us about the history of Ed's (they've been going strong for 13 years now!), how they don't care for selling in volume to big grocery chains, and deliberately want to keep it small to be as close to the customer as possible and deliver the most unique, delicious and innovative ice creams and gelato Toronto and dare I say Canada has to offer. To be honest, I was genuinely delighted to talk to the owners and get to know their story. Everything trickles down from the top and it really shows that their business will last for many many years to come if the values and philosophy of Ed is passed down through the years of Ed's successors. They might stop at 3 locations or they might not but it's a family run business and I am in love with how warm and receptive they are to their customers/fans whom they've never met before. They have such a strong brand, that I was surprised it was that busy on the first day - and it was about 3-4 degrees celsius!... I guess people really do love Ed's and their ice creams. They'll be the perfect stopover if you're ever in Roncy or looking for a place to go before or after going to any of the fantastic restaurants in the 'hood!

    All the flavours...I think
    Heather C.

    This place is amazing!!!! I have the hardest time choosing ice cream and they let me sample a couple without the weird guilt stares. All the flavours I tried were delicious and not overly sweet. A small comes with two scoops in a sugar cone or a cup :) I had the pumpkin flavour and it tasted like autumn...NOMNOMNOM. The passion fruit was delicious and tangy too!

    Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. I'm a little sad I didn't find this place at the beginning of the summer. Highly recommended.

    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 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.

    I haven't been back here in a while so I was surprised to see new menu items... I got the matcha…read moreand toasted soy bean latte and HOLY SH*T I think I found my drink for the summer. It's refreshing, matcha forward. And the toasted soybean powder conpliments the matcha very well - I was expecting it to overpower the matcha flavour. Thế syrup was also not too sweet but I do recommend giving this a very thorough stir. Service is still good after 5 years, and the place is great for taking photos of drinks in. Lots of wood elements seen in typical Japanese establishments.
