Summertime in Southwestern Ontario means it’s time to visit your favourite ice cream parlour. Here are some of our picks for the top ice cream shops in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Stratford area.
* We created this list from some of personal favourites we have visited. If we missed your favourite please let us know so we can add it to the list!
Four All Ice Cream Factory
141 Whitney Place #105, Kitchener
We start our ice cream with fresh, all-natural, local Guernsey cow milk from Eby Manor farm, combined with local cream. To get the freshest, richest flavour we pasteurize our ice cream base ourselves in small batches at our Kitchener facility; which is the smallest dairy plant in Ontario (400 square feet)! From there we combine local and/or responsibly sourced ingredients from small farmers, bean-to-bar chocolate makers, small-batch coffee roasters, and local distillers and brewers in order to achieve robust, full, deep flavour profiles – which are best described as “tasting deliciously real”.
Four All Ice Cream is better because through our partnerships with local farmers, producers & other small-batch manufacturers we create fresh and seasonal flavours that support local and showcase the best of Kitchener-Waterloo region.
