I stopped by here with friends after a race, and overall, the experience was just okay. Nothing…read morebad, but nothing that really stood out either--especially for the price. I ordered a vegetarian crepe, and my friend got an Oreo crepe. Both were decent, but honestly pretty underwhelming. The flavors were fine, just not memorable, and definitely not something I'd go out of my way to get again. I also tried a vanilla chai latte, which was the same story--good, but nothing special. The biggest downside for me was the value. I ended up spending around $17, and it just didn't feel worth it. Between the portion size and the overall taste, it felt like something I could've easily made at home for a fraction of the price. Service was okay. The woman working there had a more straightforward, no-frills personality--not particularly warm or welcoming, but not rude either. Just very to-the-point. The space itself is also pretty small, with limited seating. It's probably best suited for quick stops or takeout rather than sitting and hanging out for a while. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it didn't give me a strong reason to come back. If you're nearby and curious, it might be worth trying once--but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Went with the Biscoff and pistachio gelato. Both were excellent, but the Biscoff is clearly the crowd favorite--I even asked the staff what people usually order, and they didn't hesitate. So of course I did the responsible thing and ordered it... and then almost didn't share it. Normally I'd pace myself. Not here. Also tried an Americano, which was surprisingly solid. Not an afterthought coffee situation at all--actually good enough that I'd come back just for that alone. What really stood out though was the staff. Super friendly, all smiles, really personable. I think the guy who helped me was named Avery--shoutout to him for making the whole thing feel like a neighborhood spot instead of "just grab dessert and leave." Bottom line: this is one of those places you end up going back to "just to try one more flavor," and suddenly it's a habit. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Old Town... which, realistically, will be sooner than I'm admitting.

Dear reader, Rita's…read morenear Kingstowne is one of my favourite stops when a frozen treat is required, and I rarely need much convincing. My order of choice is the Blendini, which combines custard, Italian ice, and mix-ins into one glorious little cup of excess. Quite frankly, why choose one dessert when you can have several at once? The variety is part of the fun. They have loads of Italian ice and custard flavours to choose from, so there is always some new combination calling my name. The custard is wonderfully creamy, the ice is refreshing, and together they make a very convincing argument for frequent return visits. Everyone working here has always been nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even sweeter. It is an easy, casual neighbourhood stop that consistently delivers exactly what I want. A thoroughly delightful little treat and one I will continue visiting with absolutely no restraint.

First, there is very little seating and it's very cramped. There's no hallway between the counter and the table and chairs. You have so much business, please consider renting the space next to your existing restaurant to increase seating. And Second, I prefer crêpes that are crispy. These crêpes were a little undercooked. Next time I'll ask them to be cooked longer to be a crispy. We will definitely come back.

Step inside and you'll see it's quite Gram-able (or is it "Insta-tastic"). In other words, it's gorgeously decorated. They have a wide array of sweet treats, almost all of them oversized. My kids have enjoyed their "dirt" sundaes and their ice cream heaped upon belgian waffles. Other non-ice cream treats include tiramisu and cakes imported from Italy, mochi balls, coffee drinks, smoothies, and yes Harry Potter geeks - even some Butterbeer. The service is always OK. They are patient as you cut through the giant menu, and they always make things delicious! But they aren't exactly outgoing either. I highly recommend Miki. It tastes great, and there's something for everyone.
