Ice ‘n Cake

Cute desserts café with gelato, crepes, cakes and coffee. Was super busy on a late weekend evening and seating was limited, would come back here just for the Ferraro rocher gelato (the best!)

The décor here is quite unique, its very spacious inside and the look of the place is different from the surrounding shops. The patio gets insanely popular during the summer, but who doesn’t like getting gelato on a hot summers day.
The tiramisu is standard and would be what you would expect to be served. If you enjoy tiramisu give it a taste.
They have quite a moderate selection of gelato so you won’t be bombarded with options. If you are going with a few people it is best to order several scoops in a bowl instead of every individual getting one scoop. The pricing for additional scoop is only $ 1-​$ 2 more while getting the first scoop is ~$ 5. Don’t hesitate to ask to try each flavour before picking, the servers are more than patient in helping you decide.
For gelato my top picks are pistachio, ferrero rocher, stracciatella as these are commonly served in most places.
Pistachio — Not bad, the pistachio taste doesn’t stand out too much but its there
Ferrero Rocher — strong hazelnut and chocolate flavour, a little sweeter then the chocolate
Stracciatella — milk based dessert that is simple in it’s taste, hard to mess up
Stracciatella is my personal favourite and always compliments any other gelato. I do not suggest, if your getting 3 scoops, strong flavour combinations because it will be too overwhelming and not the greatest when eaten together. Also to note, gelato is served in a slightly warmer temperature compared to ice cream to keep the silky texture, therefore it melts more quickly. Just a tip for you slow eaters on a hot summers day… don’t be surprised to end up having pistachio soup

Ice n Cakes is a delightful gelato place in the heart of Shops at Don Mills. I got a single scoop of Cookie n Cream on a Waffle Cone and it tasted great. They also offer a variety of different flavors I wanted to try such as Mango, Strawberry, Cheesecake, Nutella, and more. It can get pretty busy, good thing there are plenty of seats and tables outside. Definitely will come back again to try their cakes and smoothies.

Cake cake cake cake cake… now that I’ve put that Rhiana song in your head…
Got a craving for that delicious gelato? You can get a scoop or two here. They have about 20 or so flavours ranging from traditional vanilla and chocolate to some unique flavours like watermelon, fig and blueberry cheesecake. I chose my standard lemon which was nice and tart.
They charge you extra for a sugar/​waffle cone which kinda sucks
Everyone is friendly here and the staff was joking around with customers which is nice to see.
Ask for a sample taste if you aren’t sure which flavour to get

I went to recently and it is super cute. The layout of the place is bright and modern. There’s a patio looking out to a yard, and on the day I went the yard was filled with ppl doing yoga.
There’s wifi at the location, however it was different to login and you’ll have to ask for the password.
As for the flavours of the gelatos? I tested a few and none were disappointing. My favourite was the coconut and the crème brûlée. I would totally come back and try their other desserts.
Verdict: A+

Great location in the middle of shops at don mills, lots of desserts including cake, crepes and gelato, the most popular is the gelato, it’s authentic and delicious.

I don’t know if I should rate it a 3 or a 4 because I pretty much liked the gelato but not the pistachio cheesecake. I guess I’m just biased because I’ve been baking my own cheesecakes and I always compare it to my own creations. I did try the same pistachio cheesecake at carole’s and theirs was definitely better. I guess they specialized more with the gelatos and not the cakes. They did have the gluten free cheesecake though which was pretty cool.
