La Diperie Yonge/Lawrence — Restaurant in Toronto

First time coming here since I was a short drive away and so glad I did! This is a little shop along Yonge Street, with adequate street parking. My dad just dropped me off to pick something up to go.

I saw quite a few parties going in and out of the shop - only 5 people are permitted inside at a time. I walked in with one family ahead of me, who were being served. I took a quick look at the menu and opted for a large vanilla soft-serve dipped in orange sorbet! This automatically comes with a sugar-free waffle cone and was $6.70 plus tax. Service was friendly and very efficient. The ice cream was delicious! Not too sweet with a nice burst of citrus notes from my dip.

They have quite a large menu, especially the options for dips is really impressive! I was surprised. Things that sounded very interesting were orange sorbet, pistachio, tiramisu, espresso, green tea, and more! I'll definitely be back to try all these different flavors.

The softserve was really good and it was interesting how the flavors were dips. We got a caramel sea salt cone and a cookie dough cone. The caramel sea salt cone was amazing however, the cookie dough dip tasted more like white chocolate than cookie dough. I'm guessing the lighter flavors won't stand up the the white chocolate base they use for the dip as much. The softserve was light and creamy and not too sweet.

I was however disappointed that both our cones were hallow. And I don't mean inside the actual cone, I mean the actual swirled ice cream on top of the cone was hallow. At $4.50 for a small cone I would have expected the size of cone they gave us. Even if it was a little smaller, I wouldn't have had an issue. But being hallow and not knowing that until you're halfway done eating your cone, I can't help but feel a little cheated especially when dips(the only way to get the flavors) and any other toppings are extra.

All in all, very good ice cream, just be aware of the...

I will start by saying the soft serve, dipping sauce, and toppings were great. So product was 5 Stars. Where they are missing out is capturing the whole experience that they could create for the customer. Counter is 5 feet tall and this doesn’t enable the customer to see what is being created. The toppings are all hidden and not visible to the customer. Staff is very friendly but when it got busy, there was not a flow to keep things organized. Everyone was wondering what to do next, or who was being served. The decor was “dated” and cheap for a new business in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood. I will go back, and I recommend the shop for the superior product. A few fixes and...
