Classic Winnipeg spot for ice cream -- definitely worth visiting at least once. The ice cream is…read moregood and creamy, with lots of fun options and toppings to choose from. Friendly service with old-school vibes, but just be mindful of long lines here. The long lines are not necessarily a complaint, though -- it means the place is a must-hit! That said, it can feel a bit heavy and rich, which is why I personally prefer Sargent Sundae for something a little lighter. Still, BDI is a great place to stop on a summer day and enjoy a treat by the bridge.

Bridge Drive-In (commonly known as BDI) is a Winnipeg institution! It has been around since 1957…read moreserving soft-serve ice cream, milkshakes, and more. It a favourite place for locals and tourists to drop by during warmer weather. A couple of years after I had moved to Winnipeg, a friend of mine took me to BDI. She had a car and I did not at the time. There is parking available, but it does get busy. I last visited Winnipeg in July 2016. I had no problem nabbing a parking spot at around 7 pm. BDI is on Jubilee Avenue. It faces the Red River. There are a few benches where you can enjoy your dairy treat, which is what my friend and I did. There is also a pedestrian bridge that goes over the river if you'd like to take a stroll. When I was last there, I lined up to get a soft-serve cone. This place has plenty of flavour varieties and some specials each day. I was pleased to see vegan options. BDI's most famous flavour is the Goog. It's essentially an upside-down blueberry shake, with a hot fudge sundae and bananas. I believe it comes with whipped cream, too. I love the Saltzberg, which is a Nutella-filled waffle cone with vanilla ice cream, is dipped in chocolate, and has caramel drizzle, sea salt, and whipped cream on top. I realize why I have never walked across the pedestrian bridge with an ice cream delicacy. It's messy to eat and I'm not coordinated enough to eat anything at BDI and walk without a major disaster happening to my ice cream treat. No one wants to see me cry. I ordered a cool lemon soft-service ice cream cone when I was last here. I typically get sprinkles, but decided to try it without them. I love lemon and the ice cream was so creamy. The lemon was bright and refreshing. The cone was perfect. I liked the maple leaf wrap around the bottom of the cone. That evening, it was pouring rain. I had a car rental and no umbrella. I ended up enjoying my ice cream in the car. There was still a steady customer lineup, which shows that folks will come out for yummy ice cream regardless of what Mother Nature has in mind. When I was last here, you could only pay by cash. I'm not sure if it's still the case. For those who love ice cream year-round, there is a BDI store at Kildonan Place now. Yay! I hope to return and get my ice cream fix at BDI when I'm back in Winnipeg. (129)

While their ice cream choices are excellent, their parfaits are what to die for. I had the raspberry white chocolate parfait, which had amazing depth and taste to it. The prices are a bit high, but honestly reasonable given the size and quality you get. There is outdoor seating here, but fair warning, it gets REALLY busy during the summer...but with patience comes rewards. I definitely recommend coming here for ice cream!

I'd say this place is worth the fanfare. I don't know if I'd always line up for an hour here, but…read moreI'd do it if it was a short line. Sargent Sundae is an ice cream institution, having been open since 1984. Its location across from Assiniboine Park means long lineups are common, especially on weekends and holidays. I personally believe you go to these places for hard ice cream over soft ice cream. If you want soft ice cream, go to BDI or McDonald's, where they specialize in them. I had the brownies and fudge ice cream, which was extremely rich! A single scoop actually filled me up, and there were plenty chunks of brownies and fudge inside. Prices are reasonable here compared to other ice cream places, and this is despite the fanfare it gets. However it's cash or debit only!

The ingredients say that rhubarb is part of this soft vanilla pudding type of cake but I could only taste the strawberries.

My friend liked his ice cream with two scoops. The cashier lady was nice.

Funny enough it's very close to where I live, but I've never went there until recently because of how tucked in the location is. Their ice cream is reasonable in cost. You can even mix and match with the flavours if you go for snack size. I had the chocolate fudge brownie with a blueberry cheesecake in a cup. Funny thing what happened was one of the employees broke a waffle cone by accident, so she decided to give me the waffle cone on the side for free. I'm normally not a waffle cone person, but I liked the slight sweetness of the taste. As for the ice cream...yup, I like it. The blueberry cheesecake was VERY cheesy, and the chocolate tastes exactly like chocolate (lol). I definitely like it over BDI at least. Wish the seating area was a tiny bit more comfortable, but on a nice summer day this place would be the bomb for excellent ice cream.

The cashier was friendly though and the moon garlic toast with an egg and mozzarella was uniquely delicious and interesting to my adventurous tastebuds. It could have been made and crafted in a less messy way but it had so much flavour that I was mesmerized and I couldn't stop eating it. The mozzarella and cheddar slices were yummy melted on the scrambled egg. I could taste the herbs in the mayonnaise as well and something else, a type of minty mild chipotle. If you love trying new experiences for your tastebuds I recommend this place. The Moon Toast was also filling and it warmed me up. The macaroon was perfectly delectable and filled with a lot of filling. The Taro bubble tea was just ordinary but still yummy.

They are the perfect size for events, reasonably priced, and come in a wide variety of flavours--honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. The ordering process was simple, and everything was packaged very well for pickup. The cheesecakes themselves were not overly sweet, which we really appreciated, and the texture was rich and creamy. One thing we didn't fully plan for was that they need to be kept frozen, which made transport a bit stressful--but they held up perfectly. Despite the heat on the wedding day, they stayed in great condition and served beautifully. Our guests absolutely loved them, and we received so many compliments throughout the night. We would definitely order from Double D's again for any future event.
