Greg's Ice Cream - Candy Cane Flavour review

Greg's Candy Cane Ice Cream

It's Christmas Season at Greg's Ice Cream!

We had a warm day last week, so while passing Greg's, we decided on getting ice cream. To see all the "Greg's Ice Cream reviews I have written, please click here.

Greg's is quiet this time of year, since it is getting cold. There were a few visitors but no long lines. One of the advantages was that almost all the ice cream available that day were there (not sold out), I think there were about 10 different flavours to choose from.

The one that caught my eye and I really wanted was the Candy Cane flavour. And why not? It is cold, with about a month's time to Christmas, who wouldn't want some Candy Cane? Besides, I was really fascinated as to how it would taste.

thoughts:

• very minty
• quite sweet
• candy cane bits can be smaller

As weird as it sounds, I did not really like the large Candy Cane bits in the ice cream, I understand that they needed to be there, but they were too big and were stealing the (taste?) attention from the ice cream. It was a very minty ice cream, so minty that I was craving for more a few hours later.

It is definitely a really good tasting ice cream, however, next time when I get this, I would probably pick out the larger bits/pieces before eating. If you love minty stuff, this is defnitely the ice cream for you, it will also satisfy your sweet tooth too!

Roasted Marshmallow Ice Cream @ Greg's Ice Cream Review

I didn't take a picture this time, it looked light brown, sort of like the look of coffee flavoured ice cream.

After hearing countless stories and compliments about Greg's Roasted Marshmallow Ice Cream, I decided to give it a try.

I was a little disappointed, I was expecting something more "tasty" and yummy. I guess everyone has their own definition of yummy. Prior to trying this, I was expecting the "roast" to taste "crispy" with a campfire "roast" taste.

Some blogs described the taste as "smokey-sweet just roasted on a campfire flavour."

When I first tried it, my tastebuds were slighty confused, I guess that's why "Roasted" is in its name, it had a scorch taste to its Marshmallow flavour. When I refer to Roast I expect "firewood" roasted taste, I think the marshmallows they used to make the ice cream were over roasted.

I think it is good to "try" but I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought it would.

Pistachio Ice Cream @ Greg's Ice Cream Review

Pistachio Ice Cream @ Greg's. Notice how colourful the Pistachio bits are

mhm, that's all I can say to describe how I felt when I first took my first spoonful of Greg's Pistachio ice cream.

Unlike most Pistachio ice creams this one was not coloured green. Instead, it was a white coloured ice cream that filled with bits of "fresh" pistachio, which were very crunchy.

I really liked how colourful the pistachio bits were: green, yellow and brown/purple.

The ice cream wasn't too sweet, but just enough to enhance the Pistachio bits.

I highly recommend it! I think this is going to be one of my favourite ice creams for now. I also noticed that it melts faster than other ice creams in the shop... I'm not sure why though... (the Pistachio bits maybe?)

You won't know what is Pistachio Ice Cream till you have tried this one! And it is good :9

Greg's ice cream - The Happiest Ice Cream in the World! review

I have FINALLY tried Greg's Ice cream and it is good! No disappointments at all!

Greg's Ice Cream is located on Bloor near Spadina (The Annex). After weeks of hearing my friend talking about this place I knew I had to give it a try.

I went on their website and learned that Greg's ice Cream has been in business for nearly 30 years! After trying their ice cream I think they will be in business for many more 30 years!

Greg's Ice Cream is special ice cream place, with a variety of flavours, They range from "normal" flavours like vanilla to weird flavours like Star Anise. I didn't have the guts to try their Star Anise flavour, instead I got Rum Raisin.

I was really surprised by the amount of Rum they dreneched the raisins in, most of the time, when I order Rum Raisin, they usually taste like raisins + vanilla ice cream. This was not the case at Greg's... I finally know what Rum Raisin should taste like! On top of that, the ice cream was very creamy. I hear their Roasted Marshmallow is extremly popular, the next time I go, I will definitely check it out!

The shop is small with only a few tables, which is alright since it is located in downtown where people would rather go and explore than sit and eat their ice cream.

The downside I would say is that you can order what they offer that day, they do not offer all flavours every day, instead, they have a "what's serving today" and you choose from that. It can be a good thing as you know that the ice cream must be "fresh" but not so if you are going there expecting a specific flavour.

Overall though, this is definitely one of the best ice cream places I have ever tried (especially in Toronto), with a reasonable price and an amazing high quality. I think I will spend much time (and money) at this place this summer!
