| - Froyo sign and all traffic stops! On my way to dinner I spotted this place and already knew where the dessert was at! After having an awesome dinner at Snug Harbour and gorgeous weather, a short walk over and the end to a perfect night...not exactly.
Having tried almost every Froyo offered in the GTA and in my travels, this place was the worst in terms of taste, service, and quality.
The place itself was clean with about seating for 15. The flavours we by far the most interesting and unique: cookie dough, snickers, cinnamon bun, cheesecake, tart/plain, vanilla, and blood orange sorbet.
Right from the start, the machine I was trying to use wasn't working. Beside me another customer was experiencing the same. I tried another machine- not working either. Half the machines were not working and the ones that were came out at glacial speed!
To be honest I wasn't going to fill my entire tub with those flavour but it would have been nice to try.
I ended up getting vanilla bean, chocolate, blood orange sorbet. The vanilla bean was good but have definitely had better. Found a tiny white ball while eating which I'm assuming was from the powder mix they use. Parents BEWARE chocking hazard for children! The chocolate was good tasted decedent more of a dark chocolate than milk. Blood orange sorbet (lactose free) was excited to try this one. First mouthful thought for sure this flavour would be the clear winner- one word powdered koolaid. The taste of powder lingered and not in a good way!
The deciding vote is always the tarte flavour- my measure of taste, flavour, and comparison of other Froyo shops.
The toppings were the standard offerings as all the competitors offer. With one employee in sight, a quarter of the toppings were empty-pretty much all the fruit.
CAUTION- razor edged spoons! Didn't know you could split a lip using a spoon! Thankfully that didn't happen but do have a sore upper lip!
As much as I love Froyo I will not be coming back mainly because it tastes like powder. If the recipe were to change I would give it another chance but for now I'll stick to ice cream when visiting the waterfront.
