AJ Whisks
The cutest little bakery, AJ Whisks, is located on Crescent Drive (next to The Cleaning Brothers) in Melrose Arch. Ever-innovative, AJ Whisks is a dab hand with naming new desserts. Freshly made crepes, waffles and cakes are all excellent reasons to visit, but we’re most interested in their soft serve desserts. AJ Whisks became well-known on the food market scene for their rich Biscoff Bars – made from Lotus Biscoff speculoos cookie butter. But they’ve taken biscoff a step further with a truly over-the-top Biscella (biscoff and nutella) Cookie Tray. Vanilla and chocolate cookies are loaded with gooey nutella and biscoff cookie butter sauce, along with swirls of vanilla and chocolate soft serve. For the chocolate lover, they make a Ferrero Rocher ‘conut’ – golden pastry in the shape of a cone, lined with nutella, and stuffed with creamy vanilla soft serve. The ice cream is finished with a nutella drizzle and whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
Summa Sundae
Summa Sundae in Parkwood is tucked between Coalition and Bar Ber Blacksheep along Bolton Road, and will have you returning weekly for their deliciously rich and creamy soft serve. On the day we visited, they were serving swirls of tiramisu and chocolate soft serve, with the option to add nutella or melted chocolate in the cone. The dessert bar offers coffee, Belgian waffles, cruffles (croissant waffles) and seasonal sundaes, but we're going back for more soft serve because the unique flavours here change every single week. This is Summa Sundae's second branch, their first is located at Soko District at Rosebank Mall.
