You scream, I scream, we all scream for gelato!?
Hooray for gelato!
I've never been one to jump at the chance for ice-cream. Sure, I'll admit I've stood in line with everyone else half my height at the ice-cream truck, shelling out $2 for my scoop of vanilla dipped in chocolate or whatever that stuff is. And I do like the occasional McDonald's sundae! And sure, Cold-Stone in San Francisco was amazing, although I've not given it a second thought or chance here.
Gelato, too, I have tried on various occasions, and although it may have held my interest longer than ice-cream, I never got to the point where I'd be scouting locations to get the frozen stuff.
Until now.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
OMG you guys!!
The Rocky Rocher is to DIE for.
The Sicillian Pistachio is----sorry i just drooled all over my keyboard.....----amazing!!
And the banana/chocolate is, well, it's very banana-y (if you like that sort of thing) but it's no Rockey Rocher.
And never mind the creepy-We-Believe-in-Sick-Kids (a slogan all of us agreed wasn't very well thought out) duck-like-creature riding a bicycle outside, the gelato is heavenly.

They had sooo many amazing flavours! So if you're one who likes TANGY gelato, this place is for you (Dean). :)
Flavours
Galore!
If I hadn't been so stuffed with Amaya Express goodness, I would have cleaned up that cup! I still ate way more than my digestive system could manage, but it was totally worth it and I'd do it again in a second!
TRAVEL: Montreal : Les Glaceurs
Location:
453 Rue Saint-Sulpice
Montreal, QC

We just happened upon this cute pink cafe on our walk through Old Montreal and boy were we happy we did! Our friends C&K hadn't been to this ice-cream/cupcake place before either, so it was a real treat for all of us.
There were many gorgeous cupcakes; it was so hard to decide!
So, much like the Seinfeldian black and white cookie, we went with the vanilla cupcake and the brownie cupcake.
Iz..how you say...pretty, non?
And damn, that frosting was kickass!
Wanda's Belgian Waffles
Location:
331 Yonge Street, Toronto
I love that this is called a cafe, yet there's barely enough standing room for two! Meant to be more of a street vendor (order through the window) this little 'cafe' serves up the best waffles I've ever had from the street! Forget morning breakfasts and brunches, you can pick up a tasty hot waffle after a horrible dinner at Salad King and be totally content.
Run by a father and son team:
I've read some complaints about the sanitary conditions of the joint (not washing hands after taking money) but when we went and as you can see in the pics, gloves were worn throughout.
Sure it's a bit messy and gooey if you order the ice-cream and strawberries on top, or if you wait a bit too long to eat it (like in our case but still damn tasty!):
I'd say it's a marvellous way to grab a fun treat split between friends!
