030 - Experience Ice Cream! 🍦

It’s halfway through the summer, and we’re here to help you beat the heat with this list of London’s coolest ice cream experiences!

---

❄️ What’s cooler than being cool?

Pulling up a seat at London Ice Cream Co.’s pastel-pink picnic tables is a trip back in time, so grab a friend and enjoy delicious ice cream "the way it used to be.”
 

🤳 They see us ‘grammin’, we be chillin’

As the relative new kids on the block, both Haven's Creamery and Roli Poli Ice Cream Co. are doing their part to keep the core cool with their handcrafted ice cream and their ‘gram-worthy shop interiors. Good taste never tasted so good.
 

🤑 Budget Freeze

Credit card frozen? Cool down on the cheap with a cone from eastern Canada’s first McDonald’s (at Oxford and Wonderland) for just 49¢!
 

🕶️ Stay Cool

Merla Mae has been keeping Londoners “forever cool” since 1957 with their softserve cones, shakes, and cakes. The shop is also home to London’s coolest hand-painted menu and features dozens of treats to please even the most discerning palates.
 

🚌 BONUS!

If we can contribute in any meaningful way to the ongoing Bus Rapid Transit debate, it’ll be our suggestion to scrap all current plans and buy a fleet of these ice cream dispensing double deckers! There’s no way it won’t increase ridership, and it’s hands-down the easiest way to make public transportation cool again. You’re welcome, Future Mayor.
