Chocolate Moose has a wide selection of ice cream: homemade dairy or vegan hard ice cream or soft…read moreserve, available as a standard cup/cone or blended into shakes, floats, or sundaes. The vegan flavours are somewhat less interesting than the some of the dairy flavours, but still offers some variety: they always carry vegan vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and grasshopper. You can also get any of the vegan flavours in your sundae/blizz/whatever, so this is actually a very good place if you can't or don't want to have dairy. Having tried all of the vegan flavours, I thought the chocolate was actually too cloyingly rich and sweet, but I really liked the others. The vegan ice cream is oat-based, which I prefer over the more common coconut. They also have a rotating selection of soup (with a few meat and a few vegetarian or vegan options available at any given time) in what I assume is a bid to stay relevant during the winter. The ice cream is still the main attraction for me at any time of year but the soup is worth getting if you want to make a meal of it, and it's nice to have something healthy to balance out the ice cream. I have tried the cream of asparagus and carrot ginger. The carrot ginger had shredded carrot in it instead of being a totally smooth puree, which I actually really liked. There is also some summery Americana food like hot dogs and mac and cheese, but I haven't tried any of that so I can't comment. The place has lots of seating inside and outside. It seems like they generally get very busy in the evenings but it's usually quieter during the day. The staff have been friendly in my experience. When I ordered a soup and sundae together, they offered to make the sundae and keep it in the fridge for me until I was ready to eat it, which was nice and thoughtful.

This is a nice classic ice cream shop. Nothing adventurous to be found here, but they have the…read morewhole array of classic ice cream "treets" that can be customized to your liking. The hard ice cream is all homemade. I've mostly gotten the cyclones and sundaes with soft serve, but the scoops in my banana split were good. In addition to regular soft serve, they also have Dream DeLite, which is a low glycemic index (diabetic-friendly) yogurt/whey-based soft serve. I like to get this since even the small sizes are pretty big, and the DD feels like a lighter option. By itself, I find the flavor is slightly off from regular vanilla ice cream, but the texture is good, and when it's mixed with different flavors and toppings, I can't really tell the difference. Almost all of the specialty sundaes and cyclones I've tried have hit the spot. My favourites have been the classic banana split sundae, and the mud pie and German chocolate cyclones. The only thing I did not like was the mint Oreo cyclone - the mint flavor was too concentrated and kind of tasted like mint toothpaste (I usually like mint ice cream). The cyclones sometimes aren't blended all the way to the bottom of the cup, but this isn't a big deal. The employees seem to be high school/university students. They're usually friendly and have their operations organized. There are a few other Jiffy Treets locally that I haven't visited, but based on what the other ones put online, this one doesn't have some of the seasonal ice cream flavors or vegan soft serve that some of the other locations advertise.

It was perfect. There were chunks of vanilla cake and sprinkles in the ice cream. This was the best birthday cake ice cream I've ever had in my life. My mom got the chocolate ice cream and it was very good. My sister ordered the butter pecan, the butter pecan does have chocolate chip chips in it and it was delicious she stated. This is the best ice cream place I've been too. It is not overly sweet or tangy. It is perfect. It's better than Jeni's ice cream in my humble opinion!!! I am an ice cream lover, and this was the absolute best. The service was decent. It's very clear college students work here. The ambience was very chill. You can eat outside or inside. The establishment was very clean. It smelled really good inside of the place. I will be getting a large waffle cone next time that is a popular size to get. You get a lot for your money. However the ice cream is a bit pricey but if you do order a big size its well worth it.

I love unique ice cream flavours, and there are plenty at Ale's. They carry dozens of Mexican ice…read morecream and sorbet flavours, some of which will be familiar if you're used to the typical American flavours (vanilla, caramel, cotton candy, peanut butter), some which are adventurous (queso fresco, elote, various tropical fruits, just to name a few), and plenty in between. They also have paletas (Mexican popsicles), aguas frescas, flavoured cappuccino, crepes, tortas and more sweet and savoury Mexican snacks. I've had tons of gourmet ice cream, and this was up there with the best of them. I wanted to try one of the less common Mexican flavours but lots sounded good, and they let me sample a few. I sampled the ron con pasas/eggnog with raisins and queso fresco, and both were really good but I decided to get a scoop of queso fresco. I expected it to be like a cheesecake flavour but it was a little different in a way that's hard to put my finger on, so I can only advise you give it a try if you're curious. Besides the flavour being very interesting, the ice cream itself was fantastically creamy. Their homemade waffle cone was also very good. I also got esquites and horchata while I was there. The esquites cup was pretty good but didn't particularly stand out to me. I would advise mixing it a little before eating so you're not getting spoonfuls of mayo off the top with the first few bites. The horchata was great - smooth flavour with lots of cinnamon. The shop is very nicely decorated. There are a few tables and even a swing inside and outside. It looked clean inside. The people were very nice! I would love to come back even though it's across town! I would be interested in trying out their other desserts but it'll be hard to pass up on that ice cream.

The texture was almost closer to sorbet than ice cream, which was fine but not what I was expecting. The flavor was great though - the peach base and black raspberry ripple were very tart and juicy which balanced out the sweetness. The small size is 2 generous scoops which was plenty for me. The waffle cone was also very good, tasted fresh. The person who took my order and scooped my ice cream was nice and checked to make sure that I knew the peach melba was non-dairy since I didn't specify.
