Ed's Real Scoop (feature: Mercury Espresso Bar)

I have been raving Ed's Real Scoop (@Eds_Real_Scoop) for a while now, so I decided to share some pictures I took during a few visits and many other times that I went but didn't take any pictures..... I basically like ice cream/ gelato anytime of the year....










Pistachio & Blood Orange Gelato 
~ nothing special about the Pistachio but the Blood Orange was so refreshing on this hot summer day
Red Hot Chili Chocolate & Green apple Gelato
~  the Chili Chocolate is my favorite flavor, Chili & Chocolate are just my favorite flavor combination... it's not really spicy but just give you a hint of aftertaste, so even if you can't eat spicey you can still enjoy this. Whereas the Green Apple flavor was just too subtle and can't really taste the flavor next to the chocolate or any other flavor, so I would suggest to enjoy it on it's own.





Apple Pie & Vanilla Bean w/ waffle cone
~The Apple Pie was good w/ actual bits of apples... but didn't like the Vanilla Bean at all, I was expecting something with the actual vanilla taste, nope can only taste the cream =(
Burned Marshmallow & Peanut Butter Chocolate w/ waffle cone
~Love both especially the Burned Marshmallow -from now on, that's my favorite ice cream flavor and it's suppose to be their signature flavor.
Waffle cones are very fresh and yummy.




Btw, if you go there with one or more friends and have the same taste I would suggest buying a pint to share (can ask for 2 flavor per pint) @ $7 a pint for summer and $6 for Winter (2 for $11 winter sale), it'll be much cheaper for you to buy two separate cups =D

My favorite ~ Burnt Marshmallow Ice-cream &  Red Hot Chili Chocolate

 Going to my friend's house for dinner so decided to bring a pint as gift (of course in my fave flavor) and another pint for us to bring home =P

Burnt Marshmallow & Mercury Espresso Ice Cream 
~Mercury Espresso bar is just across the street from Ed's and this ice cream is made with their coffee beans.



 Love how they change their chalkboards design all the time, it's always so CUTE (^_^)



They have benches outside which are perfect during summer
(that day was freezing cold thou)

After ice cream, we just have to have our daily dose of caffeine , so we have to cross over to Mercury Espresso Bar which is one of my fave in Toronto (not as good as Dark Horse posted here).
I almost wish we bought over a scoop of ice cream and order an espresso to make a Affogato.
Ok, maybe next time I will =P



Verdict :
If you still haven't been to Ed's, you are missing out.
Burnt Marshmallow Ice-cream &  Red Hot Chili Chocolate are definitely the must try flavor

  2. This is a common misconception which will be resolved only with firsthand experience.

    Once the number of back links will increase, web traffic flow will enhance.
    It would be optimum thought to select the local SEO service after checking the rank of
    their website. Working with an SEO expert in your country can
    help as SEO experts within the same country generally know how to optimize websites for a specific country's audience more effectively. If you simply copy the original manufacturer's description, you
    don't add value to your product and you certainly don't add your personal touch that
    can make you stand out from your competitors. Meta Name and Meta Description
    Tags are two of the important ones. They make their strategy according to the audience their client is targeting.
    When SEO services are working for you, you should always be ready to capitalise
    on innovations and fresh marketing opportunities.
    Configure You - Tube settings by changing the default settings
    to your preferred and secure preferences. For those of us
    who are using the internet to make money, we all know that it is absolutely essential to
    get visitors out to our websites. The final way that you can use
    your Deviant - ART profile for SEO purposes is by being an active member of the
    community ' watch the work of others (especially if they are related to your business), encourage others to watch your work, comment on work, list other users as your friends. Still hanging on. Moving your hosting to a nearby country such as Canada or an offshore Caribbean host may provide the same latency times, but reduce the risk of having your website brought down by a mistake. Such services also include some research that will need to be done so they can apply this research on major keyword. This is where your innovative SEO marketing techniques can achieve a high search ranking for your budget motel whenever a user is specifically searching for a motel at your location. Originally posted at: digitalmoz. You need to try to find reputed SEO consultants. SEO is becoming the most rewarding career nowadays. They are looking up the the keywords you did research on to find what they are looking for. Never post a half edited article, and never settle for less than your best.

  3. Without the internet, this is not possible to play
    these novoline games online and even they can't live online that they perform now with public for additional characteristics and completely attractive in a delusion earth to participate in a game.

    the desktop is displayed on the laptop. So even at young ages and relatively low
    levels of the sport, goalies will have their helmets

    ' The Rooneys are a great family who turned a football franchise into a traveling nation full of fans across the United States. you ask with softness coming back into your voice as you sit on the sand beside me. These applications are delivered with a lot more flexibility at a fraction of the cost compared to desktop applications. Those pain killers and medications hide the problem without dealing with the true cause. Of course, many people looking to boost their bone health choose to supplement their diets. We're now looking at
    life lately in entirely new ways. Dependency enslaves you,
    giving others the ultimate power over how you perceive and feel about yourself.
    So be it.
