Ontario East Success Story

Downtowne Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe

The owner of the Downtowne Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe says it all started after finding an ice cream maker at an equipment show 15 years ago.

"We never looked back," says Shelley. "It's been a lot of fun and allowed me to have a creative outlet."

Since then, Shelley has created hundreds of flavour combinations of ice cream and gelato. Many have become famous and staples at the 165 St. Lawrence Street shop where they also make onsite handmade truffles, chocolate bars, caramels and other treats using fair trade Belgian chocolate.
