Their waffle cone was quite thick and seasoned with cinnamon or other spices: different and not my cup of tea. Vanilla was a classic and had specs of vanilla. The toffee had choco and nut chucks and wasn't too sweet, same with the vanilla.

An underrated gem in the Ottawa area for ice cream!…read more Whether it is the summer or cold winter, Haven's Creamery has taken pride to make delicious handcrafted ice cream! Whether it's soft serve, hand churned ice cream, or the smell of fresh waffle cones , there is a flavour for everyone at this spot along Bank Street! The Cereal Milk flavour is one of my favourite options to enjoy as it feels like breakfast with the balance of the vanilla milk base pairing well with the simple corn flakes for added texture. I cannot wait to go back in my next visit to Ottawa!

Living in the west-end my ENTIRE life, I honestly shocked myself that we've never tried Brett's,…read morebut better late than never! Also support local We got 1 strawberry sundae + 1 chocolate sundae (unfortunately that one didn't make the cuts since we devoured that within seconds). The vanilla soft serve is SO incredibly good?!! Like wow. It's super soft and creamy- miles better than DQ. The young lady at the window was also super sweet and friendly! They also have a patio section with a few tables and benches & lots of variety on their menu! Do note that their sundaes come in only 1 size (which is pretty decent! Not too small and not too big, leaving you feel guilty afterwards. It's just the right size!) I will definitely be back to try their razzles next time since I've heard great things about it

Brett's Ice Cream is a little ice cream shop in Kanata. It's been around since 2013 but I only…read morelearned of it recently. It's a little shop with basically just a window where you order. It's a strip mall with an auto body shop. Not the most picturesque or romantic place, but the ice cream is good. You pretty much need to eat it in the parking lot (there are a few benches) or in your car. My husband and I went during the Phase 2 re-opening amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic, but I don't think they had to change their practices much because they were always takeout only with no place to sit and eat. There was absolutely no line up when we went on a Sunday afternoon in June. My husband is a traditionalist so he got a medium chocolate vanilla swirl in a waffle cone. It was $3.25 for a medium and an additional $0.75 for the waffle cone. I wanted to try their flavour burst which is flavour swirled into the ice cream in unique way (see photos). I got a small vanilla cone with cherry flavour burst. It was $2.25 for the small cone plus an additional $1 for the flavour burst. I enjoyed my cone. The ice cream was creamy and the flavour burst added a nice black cherry flavour to the cone. It wasn't too overwhelmingly sweet which was nice. I really want to try the Pina Colada flavour burst next time. Note that they only have soft serve ice cream. No hard/scoop ice cream. They do have milkshakes, slushies, slushie floats, sundaes, and Razzles, which are like Dairy Queen Blizzards or Mc Donald's McFlurries. Service was quick and courteous. I'm a huge fan. It's a bit of a trek to get to Kanata for me, but I would come back if I was in the area or planning to so other things in the area. Free parking in the parking lot that is shared with the auto shop.

There was a steady stream of customers, but the line moved smoothly - as smooth as their ice cream, perhaps. While I enjoyed both flavors I selected, I did learn quickly that some combinations work better than others. For example, my lime leaf and mint completely overwhelmed the vanilla inspired flavor. The person I was with ordered a different combination, and the man at the counter said, "That's a really good pairing." If they can figure out a way to advertise which flavors work really well together alongside the list of flavors, that might make experiences even better.

No issues from our end - just give us dairy free options. They also had types of vegan waffle cones. This keeps getting better. All of their staff were amazing to deal with.

Our large group could sit together and have a good time. How about the ice cream? We were a diverse group and all of them just loved their flavours and even the milkshakes. All top notch.
