I had the Banana Split and that was very good. A must try as long as you are committed. You get to pick 3 different flavours and the banana was very fresh and tasty. When I went there was a huge line up so expect to wait. I am not sure if there is any proper parking as I rode my bike there.

Most ice cream parlours feel the same, but this one's unique. The decor is composed of Dutch paintings, household items, and various other decorations. They have some special flavours I haven't seen elsewhere, and a mix of music I can only describe as unexpected. They also sell some Dutch candy, licorice, and sauces.

The coolest looking ice cream shop. They have crazy art inside and outside. The seating is carried and perfect to stop and enjoy a sweet treat. Their portions are huge and they decorate it with amazing toppings and cotton candy . I would like to try their fun cones!!

For those who like to add interesting places to their list of places to visit, and also love having options for new ice cream shops, Dutch Dreams is definitely a place that should be visited. The ice cream shop is located in an old mansion that takes up every corner, and draws attention for being decorated with various items that remind us of childhood and the family's heritage, in addition to being a multicultural space, which carries the flags of different countries around the world. Structure: They have space to sit both inside and outside. They have easily accessible trash cans spread throughout the store, and in both spaces the circulation is calm. Menu: They have a wide variety of ice creams and versions of desserts with ice cream, as well as cones in all shapes. It is worth checking out the menu on the website, or taking a good look at the signs. Access: for those who are using a streetcar, they stop on the avenue and just walk one block. For those who are driving, the ice cream shop does not have its own parking lot, but there are paid parking lots on the street, as well as private parking lots. Tip: if you can visit during the week, it is a great option. On weekends, the store is usually very crowded, impossible to sit down, it takes a long time to order due to the line, and the mess that customers end up leaving on the floor. Pet-friendly: during the spring and summer, it is possible to visit the space with your pet, since the patio area is open.

Get ready for an amazing vibe with a variety of cones and adorable ice cream designs! 🍦💖 The ice cream itself is pretty standard, but it's definitely worth trying once or twice! ✨
