I also came across Ed's Real Scoop at the Beaches Jazz Festival. This place is owned by Ed, and all of his stuff is homemade without the artificial colours and chemicals that you may find in regular ice cream shops.

When I went this place was extremely busy.... the line was going all the way out onto the street! What I like is that they have seasonal flavours that come out periodically throughout the year. When I was there they had their famous Pumpkin flavour ice cream. They also make their own waffle cones (you can smell them coming up the street) and you can see them making them in the store window as well.

You will pay more than usual for ice cream at Ed's but I think that it's so worth it. Next time I am in the beaches area I would definitely come here again!
