Summer, ice cream, and the joy of eating 100% Laval
Summer isn’t quite here yet, but let’s pretend it is and get into the “ice cream” mindset right now. Let’s end our days on a high note by enjoying some artisanal ice cream, or save these frozen treats for a special occasion like… Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or any other event worth celebrating. The best thing to do is to give in to temptation whenever the craving strikes.
A stunning gelato cake
Why settle for a traditional cake packed with sugar (and probably a little love) when you can choose one made with artisanal gelato? Much fresher, more original, and easier to digest, it’s the kind of treat that delights and impresses your guests! To get your hands on the very best, there’s only one place to go: Dolce & Santella Artisanal Gelato.
Caramel spread… to put on ice cream
Is your favorite thing eating a sundae on your balcony while watching the kids ride their bikes, or enjoying an ice cream cone by the pool? That sounds perfect! But to add a little extra “yum” to your favorite ice cream, stop by Mam’zelle Joséphine and pick up a jar of caramel spread (or the homemade 4-berry spread) and add a generous spoonful of pure bliss to your next ice cream treat. Let us know how it goes.
Soft-serve ice cream and berries
Can't decide between a healthy snack and ice cream? Well, the choice is easy! Go for both. Stop by the Crémerie Pineault and treat yourself to soft-serve ice cream topped with your favorite berries (you can choose up to three). Not only is it a treat for your taste buds, but it’s a feast for the eyes, too.
Ice in the field (?!)
Is a wind of change blowing, inspiring you to do things differently and making you want a change of scenery? Head to the Marineau Farm and check out the ice cream shop. Artisanal ice cream, gelato, sundaes, vegan slushies, floats, affogato, and more. It’s definitely a refreshing menu featuring the farm’s own products.
Laval is the perfect place to find the best ice cream treats. Don't miss out!
