When it comes to favourite summertime treats the ice-cream sandwich is at the top of our list. Creamy, cool ice cream nestled between scrumptious baked goods—what more could you ask for? Today’s ICS offerings take this classic combo to the next level, with gourmet twists including everything from green tea-infused ice cream to crispy coconut cookies. Here, some of our faves from shops across the country. —Mackenzie Shand
earnest ice cream, vancouver. When searching for the perfect ice-cream sandwich, the ultimate ice-cream supplier is a safe spot to look. Earnest Ice Cream has become a go-to favourite for Vancouver residents, thanks to its delectable small batches of innovative flavours and cosy, friendly atmosphere. Here, the sandwiches, available exclusively at the Frances Street location, are thick with ice cream and the cake exterior is light and flavourful. Sandwich flavours vary depending on the daily ice cream availability.
yelo’d ice cream, edmonton. Nestled in a bright, quaint spot on Whyte Avenue are some of the best ICSs in the Edmonton area. While Yelo’d only celebrated its grand opening earlier this summer, its already built up a great rep and a dedicated following. With soft serve ice cream and freshly-baked cookie flavours inspired by Filipino culture and Asian cuisine, the sandwiches are unlike any other. Try ube (purple yam) in a sweet bun or milo (malted chocolate) nestled in between confetti and banana cookies.
iceworks frozen treats, calgary. If you’re a diehard macaron fan, you’ll love the sandwiches at Iceworks. With a thick scoop of small-batch ice cream nestled between delectable French macaron cookies, you’ll wonder how it took you so long to try this unbeatable pair. Ice-cream flavours at Iceworks include everything from matcha and black sesame to vanilla bean.
booyah inc, toronto. Two scoops are better than one. And that’s just what you’ll find at Booyah. Located in Midtown, this shop has taken its love of a cool treat to the next level, with sandwich options including everything from double-scoop cookies to ice-cream tacos and ice-cream brioche cinnamon buns. Also on offer: toppings to sprinkle on your scoops.
léché desserts, montreal. Montrealers may know Léché for its incredible doughnut offerings, but there is so much more in store come summertime. Choose any doughnut, including peanut butter and jam and piña colada, and ask for cool vanilla soft serve in-between (see image above for major ICS inspo). Start planning your pick now, it will be hard to decide!
