Mr Cream

Hot day in Kensington? Need something to cool you down?
Three words: Bloor orange sorbet.
SO GOOD. Words cannot describe how delicious this sorbet is. And the cute thing is that they serve it in those Chinese take-​out boxes. I’m a sucker for cute packaging.

I had a much better experience than the previous reviewers.
Summary: Great value, good ice cream but be careful which flavours you choose.
We got a waffle cone ($ 5) and it was HUGE — it was almost too much ice cream for two people. The server was very nice and the ice cream was tasty. Much better than Baskin Robbins. This is a good alternative to The Big Chill, if you are in the neighbourhood.
I think that the variability in reviews could be because there’s a lot of variation in the flavours. I had the Hazelnut and it was among the best I’ve had (and I’m a hazelnut connoisseur). The strawberry was solid. On the other hand, my wife tried the Blood Orange and thought it was too artificial, and their Mint Chocolate Chip is bright green (not a good sign).
I say that you should give them the benefit of the doubt for now while they sort out their flavours. Sounds like the opening hours are a little painful though — there’s nothing better than evening ice cream. Hopefully that will change.

Nothing is better than ice cream on a hot day, NOTHING. While walking around Kensington market, I was really itching for some ice cream. Enter Mr. Cream (that really sounds wrong =/​)
Anywho, they have all kinds of different flavours they make that I think they switch up every once and a while. The menu is pretty much 3 items… it’s not rocket science (large, small, bowl).
There were flavours like espresso, mayan chocolate, cherry vanilla, mint chocolate chip (i guess they didn’t have that many when i got there).
Maybe I’m just used to the mass produced ice creams, but I just kept on comparing the homemade ice cream to the later. I had the mint chocolate chip, but all in all, I didn’t think it was that amazing (personally I really like the PC brand mint chocolate chip). I had a taste of the mayan chocolate one and I thought it was pretty interesting. However, I’m not sure how I would like to eat a whole scoop of it (it has a little spicy kick at the end).
I’d love to try out the other flavours to see what I’m missing. Who knows, maybe they have a magic flavour.

I read about Mr. Cream in Blog TO, and being an ice cream lover, decided to check it out.
My overall experience is that it is an ok ice cream shop, but nothing special. The prices are pretty good, and the location is great, but there are limited flavors (which aren’t listed anywhere, so annoying) and our server mentioned that they have limited freezer space which prevents them from having more flavors, and they sometimes run out and have to close early. Speaking of early — they usually close at 6pm — I’m more of an 8pm ice cream girl!
The ice cream itself was decent — apparently it is all made in house. I do love ice cream, but I can’t say I’m enough of a connoisseur to notice the difference between this shop and say, Baskin Robbins (both good?) they also have the option of sugar cones, waffle bowls, etc., which is always a plus. Another big plus was the excellent customer service, they were prompt and happy to answer questions which was great.
The best part about Mr. Cream is definitely the atmosphere; it’s well decorated and I love the neon ice cream signs out front. But with limited freezer space and short hours, who knows if it will last. But, if you have a hankering for ice cream and are in Kensington Market, may as well check it out.
