| - Did not live up to the hype or my expectations. There are many vegan (clearly labeled) ice cream and popsicle selections, but beware that not everything is vegan. There are 4 sizes for ice cream - kids (which I got and it was a tiny scoop), regular (2 scoops but SAME flavor), medium (2 flavors), large. Cups and cones are available. The kids scoop is only $3, but much too small. Unfortunately the regular size does not let you choose more than 1 flavor. The vegan ice creams are coconut milk-based rather than water-based, so are creamier and quite delicious. I tried the coconut (has real coconut shavings and not too sweet) and red bean flavors before settling for red bean. Other vegan flavors include Ontario strawberry, mango, rum, etc.
A few seats are available inside, which is nice since inside is air conditioned. They take credit and debit cards, but charge a small fee, so bring cash.
Overall I would recommend a few other vegan or non-dairy gelato places over Sweet Olenka's, including Kekou Gelato, G is for Gelato (best creamy vegan gelatos EVER), and Death in Venice (has a lot of vegan flavors, but almost all are fruity rather than creamy).
