| - I recently moved my residence across the Hwy 50 line from Vaughan in to Brampton.
Looking around my new neighborhood I was on the search for one of life's staples - Anything ICE CREAM!!
I happened upon this place on Yelp.. good on us!
Had a treacherous drive during a thunderstorm and a flooded "the gore" road with my main man, and we both thought we were crazy to be out here, but we are crazy so let's continue...
Running into the Polka Dot Cow Cafe to escape the storm we were naturally the only one's in the place. Its bright pastel colors, the walls adorned with posters of our favorite childhood ice cream treats and ample cafe seating brought the sun inside. There is a beautiful display of cakes and other pastries on display - note they have egg-less, nut-free vegan cakes here. Will have to try them sometime... again we were on the hunt for ice cream cones. But my mouth watered at the menu: Banana Split, Milkshakes, waffles with ice cream! Yum! They even have Gelato! Everything on the menu is super affordable!
Okay, focus! So, they make their own waffle cones daily and believe me, you can tell, they are so fresh!
So with further ado, I chose a scoop of Pistachio Almond Crunch and a scoop of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. My guy chose a scoop of Gold Medal Ribbon, of which I stole of lick or two! :)
Creamy, not too sweet, just the right bit of awesome that real Ice Cream should be!
It's not every day we have time to talk to the proprietor of a venue but this smiling, 60-something, white haired lady greeted us from start to finish and told us the story about how she always had a dream to own an Ice Cream Parlor! She says it brings her back to her childhood - her favorite ice cream? Good 'ol Natural Vanilla!
Great to see no matter where in life you can always make dreams come true! Thanks Laura for following your dreams and opening this place just around the corner from me! :)
