Ice Cream & Frozen Treats, LaDiperie and Duey’s Ice Cream.

Dairee Delite is a 50s style ice cream shop serving classic treats since 1953 like dipped soft serve cones (with flavours like toasted coconut, birthday cake and blue raspberry!), milkshakes, sundaes and floats. This family (and date night) favourite is open between March through September now offers dairy-free and vegan options, too.

Baskin Robbins is known for having 31 ever-changing flavours of hard ice cream available in a cup or in a cake, sugar or waffle cone. Come in to their King George Rd. location or order online to have delicious dinner brought to you. A lengthy list of offerings include: beverages (milkshakes, smoothies, “Blasts”), sundaes, take home pre-packed or hand-packed tubs, hand-decorated cakes of all sizes (available for drop-in pick-up or order in advance with any flavour you’d like), dairy-free and no sugar added options, frozen yogurts, and more!

OMG! IceCream and Frozen Treats now has two great locations in Brantford (122 Colborne Street W. and 170 Brantwood Park Rd). Changing “ordinary to extraordinary” they can offer you a “Brain Freeze” (ice cream with one of OMG’s flavours of freeze), OMG sundaes (incredibly Instagrammable treats), milkshakes, sundaes, flurries, hard and soft ice cream, Froyo (frozen yogurt) and ice cream sandwiches in store and delivery through Skip-the-Dishes.
