WOW is all I have to say!!!
Been dying to try this place for so long and finally got the chance to! There are two separate lists, one for pints, one for scoops. They have so many unique and amazing flavours to choose from on both lists from simple flavours like chocolate and cookie dough to earl grey, lavender honey, kookie monster, etc. Aside from the flavours, the options are endless (tacos, milkshakes, cookie sandwiches, it doesn't end)!
I chose to get the sweet pocket which is a cinnamon-type bun with Nutella spread and ice cream, which I picked Banana Cream Chip. Then it went in some cool machine which heated it up so the bun was warm on the outside, but ice cream stayed cold inside. No exaggeration, this was the BEST dessert I've had IN MY LIFE. I've been dreaming about it since.
I went with my family who had half sandwiches, cups, waffle cones, and soft-serve. This place really does have something for everyone; even gluten-free and vegan. Everyone LOVED what they got. Their flavours are sooo creamy and decadent. You can really tell the high-end, simple, fresh ingredients used in the ice cream. They had a wide-range of different flavours, one better than the next. We also bought some cookies to go which were freshly baked, very soft, chewy and fantastic.
Aside from the ice cream, the two girls helping us were so friendly and helpful. They helped us narrow down our decisions and explain what everything was. Their COVID protocol was also fantastic, door blocked off, contactless tap, sanitizer available. All I have to say is I wish I tried this place earlier! Definitely going to be my new go-to spot. Especially since they always rotate their flavours and come out with new ones every Friday. Can't wait for my...
Read moreThis is a very popular ice cream place. It also has vegan options. They offer a variety of ice cream options, including the classic cup, cones, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream tacos, tubs and milkshakes too. They have a lot of flavors to choose from so you’ll be sure to find what will make you happy. We tried the half sandwich with chocolate chunk cookie, rum raisin and coffee toffee chip as well as the vegan mango ice cream and lavender honey. The scoops were generous and the flavors delicious. I especially loved the coffee toffee chip which had nice chunks of chocolate in it. Rum raisin has pieces of raisin in it and I thought there could be more rum flavor (I do no drink alcohol, so if you do, maybe you won’t be able to taste the rum flavor at all). The vegan mango was amazing as well as the lavender honey. I was a bit hesitant about that flower flavor but it was great, very nicely balanced. The cookies were ok. It’s nice that they give you a quarter of a cookie if you get 2 scoops. Definitely recommend that place, which does get long lineups in warm weather but not as much as their Dutch dream neighbor. We were curious to try their ube flavor but they did not have it as it seemed it was a seasonal one maybe. Definitely recommend trying this place if you’re...
Read more5 stars for the entire experience 4 stars for the ice cream
We walked into Booyah around 1-2pm on a weekday. This was the best time because we were able to interact with the staff and owners. They were so cheery and welcoming. We could see and talk to the brother who was working the ice cream machine. We were able to sample their cinnamon toast crunch creation right out of the machine - what a delight. They were also very generous with letting my friend (thanks SW for taking me here) and I sample flavours, including their soft-serve.
This made the whole experience 5 stars.
Booyah serves both home made treats and Kawartha dairy ice cream. I appreciate their transparency. After speaking with the owners, I learned consumers still want a sub-par product. If you want Kawartha dairy ice cream, take a look at their ingredients.
"Booyah" is what I wanted to say after tasting their HOME MADE earl grey ice cream. I could really taste the earl grey tea in the ice cream. The texture was creamy, smooth and velvety. It wasn't hard. However, I had encountered two instances of what I believed to be ice shards. As a result, the ice...
