The Big Chill is a small yet very colorful ice-cream parlor on
the corner of Manning Ave & College St. It's situated in Little
Italy, and they only take cash. However, there's a BMO right across the
street from the ice-cream parlour so that's convenient. They have a
decent selection of ice-cream flavors but what caught my eyes was their fresh waffle cones (made to order).
The Big Chill offers other kinds of desserts beside ice cream such as cookies, banana split, crepes, ice-cream sandwiches, and sundaes.
The overall space was bright, colorful, and very reminiscent of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor of the past.
I ended up getting two scoops of black raspberry cheesecake. I may be petite, but I sure love food and definitely sweets ;) I am not exactly sure of the price but I paid a little under $7.00 for the ice-cream cone ($5.95 for two scoops + tax). The reason for the higher price was due to the hot and fresh waffle cone. I believe that the regular cone or in a cup is substantially cheaper. I am not a huge fan of waffles, but the one from The Big Chill was really good and crispy.
My SO got one scoop of their coconut ice-cream flavor, which had some coconut shavings. The coconut flavor wasn't very strong but it was still a nice treat if you like coconuts.
Additionally, the service was quick and friendly for the few times that we have been there. Summer is officially over, but the weather has surprisingly been rather lovely last week. Let's hope that it stays that way for a little while longer.
