Scoop Shop by Sweet Sammies

After passing by 2 – 3 times, me and my friend decided to give it a try. Its important to note that there is no seating but only one bench in the store. The flavour selection was not huge, but here quality over quantity rules.
I tried the chocolate chip flavour which was one of their vegan options, it was very good and the texture was amazing (probably made out of coconut milk). I also had the red velvet cheesecake, it was very flavourful and as I stated before the texture was unreal. The flavours are changed regularly but there were always be vanilla, Belgium chocolate and one vegan flavour available.
I am definitely coming back sooner than later. The ice cream is to die for!

A cute little store on Dundas West. I strolled in because I had to wait for Patois for thirty minutes — and our crew decided to get a snack in the meal time. It is a very small store with one bench to sit on — but it was a beautiful summer night so I was more than happy to stroll around the area after getting the Ice Cream. The staff was also very patient with our sampling and gave recommendations in terms of the most popular choices.
There were a myriad of flavours to choose from: Thai Iced Tea, Salted Caramel Brownie Cheesecake, Hazelnut, etc. I had a chance to try the Thai Iced Tea and Salted Caramel Cheesecake as a sample. The Thai Ice Tea is very flavourful — much more flavourful than my experience at kekou. It is a very strong tea flavour that I thoroughly enjoyed. The Salted Caramel Cheesecake tasted like a frozen cheesecake. I think based on these two flavours, I can extrapolate that their flavours are a lot stronger than most places. The Cheesecake flavour was also very dense in terms of the texture, contributing to the idea that it is more like a frozen cheesecake.
In the end, I decided to get the salted caramel brownie cheesecake because it felt more unique. The texture of the ice cream is probably my favourite aspect — so much denser than most other places. The staff told me the ice cream is actually cheesecake based rather than just flavourings of a cheesecake — which is probably why the texture is as it is. I must dock a point though because I was not impressed with their regular cone, it felt like a very cheap cone to be putting this wonderful ice cream in. Next time, I will likely opt for a waffle cone. Prices are similar to what you expect from a boutique ice cream store (3 dollar for kiddy scoop, 4 for single, 5 for double).
Debit and Cash Only, by the way.

It was my first but definitely not our last.
My son and my partner including me are all enjoying our first try here in Scoop Shop.

great service. you can try any flavor. i’ve bought 6 pints so far these past couple of months. very good quality ice cream. not too sweet. really about the ingredients they use. my favorite flavor is hazelnut. it tastes like bueno. the malt chocolate is also another favorite of mine.

Came here after dinner and bought two pints to take back with us. Instantly hit with everyone!
Staff: Very friendly and I really appreciated them answering our questions. It was late in the day (after 8pm) and they were still eager to help.
Ambience: I think one of the things I would say is there isn’t much space to sit and eat ice cream. It addition when we walked in (we were a group of 5 people), about 7 more people followed making it very crowded. For most of my party it was our first time being there and it felt like we didn’t have room to look around until the crowd dissipated.
Food: The ice cream was amazing! After they let us sample some, we bought one pint of Ontario Strawberry and one pint of Toasted Marshmallow and Chocolate Chip. The ice cream was soft and creamy and totally worth it (it was $ 9 each). It tasted natural and we finished both in one sitting.
Get the tub and go home, it’d be worth it!

The concept of a macaron ice cream sandwich is amazing, however the macaron made for this Sammy was wayyyyy to hard. My friend and I could barely sink our teeth in it. :(

Excellent home made ice creams. I’ve literally just had the best ice cream sandwich of my life.

Good ice cream! I had the icecream sandwich with the macarons. Delish! Will be coming back!

Ice cream is super creamy and the flavours are unique and delicious. PB&J with Roasted Banana was amazing together. Also tried the Vanilla Bean, Pistachio ice cream as well as the blood orange popsicle.
Just wish that the ice cream was more firm — it was soft to begin with and having it on a fresh waffle cone is pretty messy.

Had a milkshake here today with a friend. Had toasted marshmallow chocolate chip. The shake was fine. kinda just tasted like vanilla and was a bit thin .but pet peeve. get wider straws! The straw was just a normal drinking straw! My straw kept clogging with chocolaye chips and I had to keep asking for new straws. At the end I had like 3 tablespoons of chips ledtover at the end :(

Saw a lot of friends posting pics on instragram, was really excited to try this place out. Finally got a chance to try this place out but was kind of disappointed. Their ice cream was just alright, not as good as I expected it to be. Well I had high hopes to be honest cause pics looked really nice, I expected them to be as good as bang bang but that was not the case. I had pistachio icecream Sammie (cookie ice cream sandwich). I picked peanut butter white chocolate cookies, the cookies itself were good, really thin. The pistachio ice cream was good too but it started melting before I even started eating it.
My friend had espresso ice cream with a shit of espresso. Really strong espresso flavour but she said she prefers the one from bang bang.
Overall it was alright, nothing too special. The only hold thing about it is that there is no line up (came on a Friday night at 9:30). I might considering coming back if I don’t want to stand in line for an hour at bang bang.

Definitely going back! Fresh, creamy ice cream bursting with natural flavour! Love the fact they have mini-​cup sizes for little ones! Would definitely recommend the hazelnut flavour… so good!

A cute little place located on Dundas, it’s the perfect spot to stop in if you’re jonesing for some «healthier» ice cream.
I opted for the Ontario strawberry. Initially confused at why the ice cream was not as vividly pink as I would expect (think Chapmans), the scooper let me know that they do not use any artificial colouring. Check for justifying this as a healthy treat! It’s fruit after all!
The ice cream was good. Definitely good enough to make me go back and try some other flavours.

Tried a kiddie scoop of the belgium chocolate ice cream and a mini ice cream roasted banana ice cream sandwich on peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Both were very nice. I would come back even though it’s a little out of the way for me.

Had an ice cream sandwich with white chocolate macadamia on one side and French macaroon shell on the other. The sweetness of both kind of overpowered the ice cream, which had a nice light texture. Still delicious. Recommended dessert especially if you’re coming from one of the restaurants nearby.

I was excited to hear when Sweet Sammies was opening in my neighbourhood, but didn’t try it right away as I was trying to be good, plus was a little afraid if the ice cream was really good because it will definitely not be good for my training or my stomach. I’m lactose intolerant and really should eliminate dairy, but I cannot help my love for cheese and ice cream. And what’s ice cream without the cream?
We came late on a Sunday night and although it was a little after 9pm, the store was still opened and we were greeted with a friendly warm welcome. The server/​owner was patient with us and even provided us with some ice cream samples as we had a difficult time deciding on what to order.
I ended up with the espresso ice cream sammie served with crownies (brownie-​cookies). I’m not a coffee drinker, but I do love coffee flavoured ice cream. I’m also not a soft ice cream person, so when I saw that the server/​owner was having a hard time scooping the ice cream, I thought, «Yes, real thick, not mushy ice cream».
Although, I was disappointed when I saw what was presented to me, but I was assured I have to wait a few minutes before I can squish the cookies together. My immediate reaction was I want my ice cream sandwich now, but now I have to wait. It definitely was not what I had in mind, but for good ice cream I will wait.
Since the server/​owner was still cleaning up, she didn’t mind that we sat on the bench inside to eat since it was raining outside. I admit I didn’t wait too long since I wanted to have my ice cream, so I tried to squish the top cookie down, but it cracked not crumble like a cookie would. Guess that’s what I get for end of the day not so fresh cookies. Thankfully, the ice cream was flavourful and rich in texture. I can definitely taste the cream and can tell it was quality ingredients, plus had the consistency of real ice cream taste.
I will probably give this place another try before it gets extremely busy like Bang Bang.

Tried the PB&J and hazelnut ice cream in a waffle cone. While the flavours tasted as expected and some were quite unique, the texture was a little too gooey/​chewy/​heavy. I know those are strange terms to describe ice cream, but it wasn’t a melt-​in-​your-​mouth kind of ice cream. It still tasted good but I didn’t love the texture. Waffle cone was light and had the right crunch but it wasn’t sweet enough for what it was. With other homemade ice cream shops nearby, it probably wouldn’t be the first place I’d go to for ice cream, but it’s still worth trying. The place had about 8 – 12 flavours from what I can recall.

Fantastic ice cream varieties, and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. As a bonus, everything is made in house, and the freshness really comes through in the final product.
I had an ice cream sandwich with hazelnut ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies. Nuff said.
Definitely worth it, will be back!

The brief scoop: damn, that ice cream is good.
How about the long-​winded, chatty Natty scoop? The shop is run by pop-​up vendor Sweet Sammies Ice cream Sandwich Company who use fresh and locally sourced ingredients and offer both rich and fresh ice cream flavours. These are often changing. Of course the sammies are their signature and they bake a variety of cookie types each day which you can mix and match with the ice cream.
I was in more of a naked ice cream mood myself and sampled the PB & J (yum — it’s the real deal with Manning Canning jelly in there), but settled on the raspberry white chocolate cheesecake flavour. I caved and figured that I should at least try a cookie considering where I was and sampled the classic chocolate chip. I went fatty Natty lite with a kiddie scoop then mashed it with the cookie. The highlight for me was the ice cream itself. Like Greg’s, Ed’s Reel Scoop, La Paloma or other good ice cream or gelato spots in the city, it is the sort of home churned stuff that is actually made with the quality ingredients that the title would imply. My ice cream literally tasted like a delectable american-​style cheesecake, graham cracker crumbs and all, but smoother, creamier and colder (duh).
I am impressed that Scoop Shop has some vegan offerings. The cashew cacao nib ice cream made from soaked cashew nuts and Valrhona cacao nibs caught my attention! You can have it as a sammie if you’d like, placed in between two pistachio meringues.
Overall, I enjoyed the tasty ice cream and relatively relaxed experience at Scoop Shop more than the Bang Bang chaos of last summer. It’s still early days for them though and so this point could be outdated VERY soon. Unlike Bang Bang, it’s not on Ossington between Queen and Dundas, but it’s not exactly in the boonies either. It’s located on Dundas West near Palmerston street, just a few blocks west of Bathurst and a handful of blocks from Trinity Bellwoods Park.

Nice texture. Not that sweet and you can really taste the milk. Good o ecream overall
