For a first timer the menu is a little overwhelming as the options range from diner food, multiple dessert options, and hot/cold drinks. That being said, the server was very welcoming but did not offer any suggestions or recommendations to their menu. Apart from that, the ambience is very open and has a very 'retro diner' look with lots of booths. Being a new place there were not many people seated and walk in orders seem to be more preferred. If you are debating on a good and quiet time to go, I had arrived late into the evening at 8 pm and the service was still really prompt. I had ordered the 'Cookie Butter Croffle' and also wanted to try their House brew coffee. I was sharing with a friend and the portion sizing was pretty good for a light bite between the two of us. There were 2 croffles and 1 vanilla ice-cream cup on the side. The croffle was warm and not too sweet when paired with the icecream it was delicious! Almonds and biscoff bits for a nice little crunch and the layers of the croissant were very buttery. Would recommend if you like a lighter dessert as it hit the right spot without making me feel like I'm eating too much sugar. The coffee was straight from the pot and unfortunately did not receive a sleeve for it upon arrival but other than that the coffee was alright. My other friends loved their desserts just like I had and we were overall satisfied with our individual dishes! For a first timer I definitely will be coming back. This place is open late into the evening so if you ever have a late night sweet tooth I would definitely recommend it here as it really hit the spot!

I miss coming to these places every so often back home in Toronto, so I'm happy more of these have opened in Winnipeg. Meet Fresh is located at one of the strip malls off Pembina, in the same plaza as Sun Fortune. One could seriously go there after a nice dinner at Sun Fortune for desserts or just to grab bubble tea. I often come here with my roommate, and he's crazy over strawberry drinks overall. He's a huge fan of the strawberry series, and has tried the dirty strawberry drink and the strawberry milk float. He loved them both but liked the milk float more. I've had their fresh milk green tea with boba and their milk tea with taro. I'm not a huge fan of their pearls, they were more mushy than chewy (I like a bit more on the chewy side). I was a bigger fan of The Alley and Coco personally. Large place inside for socializing or working on your laptop, though it was quiet both times I've been here.

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.

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 dining area is clean and it offers plenty of seating. I would love to return here and probably will for my next Winnipeg adventure. Prices are reasonable, street parking only and staff is friendly. Check them out!

Offerings are so good, plenty of stuff for anyone to enjoy and it's pretty amazing how busy it was at 10:15 on a Thursday morning. Support small owned businesses!

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.

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)
