Brett Young and her fiancée had plenty of inspiration to follow their passion and open up their own ice cream shop. Brett herself spent several years running her own business, while he came from a family that owned an ice cream shop in Ontario’s Muskoka region. It was only a matter of time before they naturally combined their know-how to make their dream a reality.
“My fiancée had talked about opening up a shop for year; we knew that we wanted to be in The Beaches. When we found this space, we thought it was the perfect location and the right time,” says Brett. Located steps from both Woodbine Park and Ashbridges Bay, Brett’s Ice Cream opened in May 2017, and has quickly become a beloved neighbourhood hotspot.
Over the past few years we’ve seen many types of cones, from waffle to doughnut to Hungarian pastry, but Brett’s is offering something different. The cones at Brett’s Ice Cream are cake! They are hand-rolled and come in flavours like red velvet, cinnamon brown sugar, birthday cake and toasted coconut.
Brett’s Ice Cream has officially opened its doors and Toronto couldn’t be happier! The star of the show is the cake batter cones, a unique option on the ice cream scene here in Toronto. The flavours are always revolving at Brett’s, and that includes the aforementioned cones, which come in sprinkled birthday cake, red velvet and cinnamon brown sugar!
