Small dessert place that I finally got a stomach to try. It's at the Gibson corner plaza one street north of Warden and Steeles, same plaza as Chatime and that hot pot place.
Sweet Esc seems to be known for their build-your-own waffle ice cream as their menu is limited in other dessert choices such as tarts and toasts.
For Christmas, their seasonal ice cream flavours include Eggnog with Rum and Mint Fudge ripple. We ended up getting their classic Coffee Milk Tea flavour topped with chocolate sauce on waffles with seasonal fruits (one free topping).
The waffles came on a hot sizzling plate where we had to pour out chocolate sauce on before it cools. That was pretty cool of a scene and action! I was surprised how well done the waffles were, being slightly crunchy on the sides yet super soft overall. The hot and cold mix of ice cream and waffle with sauce was delicious! The coffee milk tea ice cream was good too - wasn't too overwhelming and dense. I have to admit there was more coffee taste than milk tea though.
We also ordered a marshmallow toast afterwards. It tasted great.. though if you ask me, any melted marshmallow tastes fantastic! But I still think Sweet Esc made it yummy, especially the texture overall.
Service was good. They explained briefly the seasonal flavours along and asked whether we were first-timers. Flip side: not that it bothers me but one waitress dropped and broke a whole bunch of tea cups and pots during my visit.. Oh well haha.
The interiors is very simple and lightly decorated. It's pretty much a tiny dessert place, not much to really feel a relaxation besides the food.
