Dutch Dreams

The atmosphere of this place and general scenery is phenomenal. If you’ve ever seen Howl’s Moving Castle it’s giving that type of vibe, a very maximalist aesthetic. Ice cream was pretty standard, I would prefer if there was actually more cookie dough in it but overall it was good. There is quite a variety of different cones if that is something you’re interested in.

This gelato shop looks like is one of the oldest in Toronto, and it truly stands out! The quality of the gelato is fantastic, and the atmosphere is so cool with its vintage elements and photos of famous people on the walls. It’s a charming place with great vibes—definitely worth a visit!

I’ve been going to Dutch Dreams since the 1980’s when it was located farther north on Vaughan Rd. The atmosphere is so cool , lots of instagrammable photo options. There’s a cute outdoor patio. Tons of icecream choices , I just wish there were some vegan options besides sorbet. They’ll also decorate your icecream with candy floss , fruit & a cookie.

I came here on a Saturday night and ordered 3 different flavours of ice cream (pistachio, espresso, and pralines and cream). I paid extra for a waffle cone that was dipped in chocolate and almond slices. CONS: - I was served by 3 different employees. Only 1 of them was nice, the other 2 were rude and unfriendly. - Both the pistachio and espresso flavours tasted horrible; I threw them into the garbage. Only the pralines and cream flavour tasted good. - The waffle cone with chocolate and almond slices tasted strongly of artificial almond extract, which was unpleasant. It overpowered the other flavours of the cone. - The prices were expensive for mediocre food and lower than average customer service. PROS: - The interior decor of the shop is unique and fun to look at. - Each ice cream comes with a dollop of whip cream, a few pieces of fruit, and a bit of cotton candy.

Discover a one-of-a-kind ice cream shop where endless topping and creative combinations come together to create the ultimate dessert experience. They top the ice cream with fruit, cotton candy and other goodies, which looks pretty but it’s also very heavy. They do give you huge portions, which would be perfect for sharing, however we had no idea how big our ice creams would be and couldn’t finish them. Listing the prices more clearly would be helpful. It was around $30.00 each for an ice cream cone. Again they are huge but no one really needs that much at once.

This is a very cute ice cream shop! Their interior and exterior design definitely catches the eye - it kind of makes you feel like you’re in an ice cream tale 🍧 I’ve never seen a bigger variety of cones! They offer different types and sizes and some of them are pretty unique. The way they serve the ice cream is also nice - there’s cotton candy, fruit, cream and other small things. It all looks impressive and if I visited a shop like that as a kid, it’d probably become my favourite one. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about is the ice cream itself. They do have a lot of flavours to choose from but they are the same as in many other ice cream shops - I suppose they use the same supplier. So for someone who goes there for a “show”, this is a perfect place, but if you’re looking for unique ice cream flavours, then it’s not the place :)

I was told to go here for a real great ice cream experience - took my girlfriend on a date and we had a blast. I had only asked for a single scoop - and it still came with all of the extras on top! That was a bit of a surprise. So of course you want to take a picture - don't fall into this. START EATING YOUR ICE CREAM RIGHT AWAY, or you will soon be wearing it. We realized this and got to work. Major sugar rush. Washroom available for washing your hands after but a straight up garden hose outside may have been useful. jokes. great time.

This Dutch ice cream store is a sweet delight, offering a fantastic variety of flavors paired with unique cotton candy and freshly made waffle cones. The combination of fluffy cotton candy, crunchy cones, and creamy ice cream is simply irresistible. With a charming ambiance, it’s a must-visit for dessert lovers. Highly recommended! They have a good variety of different flavors and as much as I tried it was delicious. If you order regular size they do half/half of two flavors.
