Yay! Got to try their soft serve at the new location. It was excellent - and nice to see their new storefront. Next time we'll try the hard serve, which others at the picnic table were enjoying.
Tracked the truck down to Preston Street today to finally try some Ottawa custard. Tried the chocolate and vanilla together in a cup. Tasty but not nearly as good as Rita's Ice now that is some great custard. Pricey for a small cup at $3.50. Oh Rita still thinking of you:( now that would be worth traveling for.
We tracked the Merry Dairy truck to 15 Irving Ave. (Hintonburg) The frozen custard was really good, but it is just ice cream. I wouldn't say it is worth driving across town for it, but if you are going to be in the downtown core and know you want a treat, it is very well made ice cream.
The truck is really cute and played music in a traditional tinny kind of way - but not traditional tunes (stairway to heaven was one classic that was played).
The kids ice cream cone is a generous size. The special was $2 for kids and they rolled it in sprinkles. The adults is bigger and $3. The toppings available are sprinkles (rainbow or chocolate), chocolate, strawberry or caramel sauce. The toppings are 50cents.
It was a nice treat and because they are usually close by, I would go there again.
Tried my first frozen custard last night. We tracked the Merry Dairy truck to 15 Irving ave. It turns out frozen custard is just really rich ice cream. It is softer than traditional ice cream, but not as soft as soft serve.
It was really good, but very simple (just vanilla flavour). I opted to pay 50cents to have caramel drizzled on top and it was worth it.
