Why This Spot Stands Out
Why You Should Visit Chris’ Ice Cream
Each September, we host our annual Back to School Ice Cream event, and we allow one local business to steal the show every single time: Chris’ Ice Cream. Watching the kids’ faces light up as they line up for a sweet treat is the absolute perfect way to wrap up the summer and kick off a brand-new school year. It has become a highlight we look forward to all year long, bringing neighbors together over shared laughter and incredibly delicious frozen treats.
About Chris’ Ice Cream
Located at 3003 St. Joseph Blvd. in Orléans, Ontario, Chris’ Ice Cream is a beloved local staple that has mastered the art of bringing joy directly to the community. Far from your average dessert spot, this business is built around ultimate flexibility and a deep love for serving people wherever they are. While they boast a fantastic physical location on St. Joseph Blvd., Chris’ Ice Cream is also famous for hit-the-road mobility. With a specially designed ice cream bike and a mobile freezer setup, Chris takes his delicious creations on the move, bringing the joy of a cold scoop to various events and neighborhoods right across the city.
The Experience
When you partner with Chris’ Ice Cream for an event or step up to their trailer, you are instantly met with a warm, welcoming, and vibrant community vibe. Having Chris bring his signature bike and small freezer to our Back to School event transforms the entire atmosphere into a nostalgic, joyful celebration. The service is always friendly, the setup is incredibly charming, and there is an unmistakable passion behind what they do. Whether you are catching them on the move around the city or stopping by their main physical location to pick up a treat to take home, the experience is consistently excellent, seamless, and deeply rooted in local pride.
Why You Should Go
There are so many reasons why Chris’ Ice Cream needs to be at the top of your local dessert bucket list. Here is why this spot stands out from the crowd:
An Abundance of Flavours: They offer a massive variety of incredible ice cream flavours, ensuring there is always something new and exciting to try for every palate.
Inclusive Dairy-Free Options: No one gets left out of the fun here! They consciously offer delicious dairy-free options so that everyone in the family or at your event can enjoy a premium frozen treat.
Brought Straight to You: Beyond their physical location, Chris has a mobile bike and small freezer that he brings to various areas of the city. You can easily check their website to see exactly where and when he will be popping up next!
The Ultimate Club Card: They feature a brilliant club card program that allows you to enjoy two delicious scoops of ice cream per month. Even better? It is currently on sale on their website, making it the perfect excuse to treat yourself regularly.
Custom Ice Cream Cakes & Take-Home Tubs: If you want to take the experience home, you can purchase full tubs of their ice cream directly from their physical location. Plus, they make spectacular ice cream cakes—making them the absolute perfect partner for the next big birthday celebration coming up on your calendar!
Top-Tier Event Catering: They are exceptional at catering community and private events, bringing a fun, professional, and unforgettable element to any gathering.
The Must-Try Scoop
While you truly cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, my absolute personal go-to is the Chocolate Brownie ice cream. It is the ultimate decadent treat for any chocolate lover. Rich, creamy, and packed with the perfect texture, it strikes that beautiful balance of deep cocoa flavor and indulgent sweetness. If you are standing at the counter trying to make up your mind among all their amazing choices, do yourself a huge favor and order a scoop (or two!) of the Chocolate Brownie—it is a total game-changer.
From their permanent home on St. Joseph Blvd. to their mobile bike rolling through Ottawa’s neighborhoods, they make enjoying a premium treat easy, inclusive, and incredibly fun. Whether you are planning a major community event, celebrating a family birthday with a custom cake, or simply craving the best Chocolate Brownie ice cream around, Chris has you covered. Be sure to visit their website today to grab their club card while it’s on sale, track down the bike’s next location, and go support this amazing local business!
