Duck Island Ice Cream

Nestled on Osborne Street in Newmarket, Duck Island Ice Cream welcomed Thomas and Sheena with a quirky, artisanal vibe that felt like stepping into a secret dessert atelier. The bright, minimalist décor paired with the aroma of fresh pastries made the arrival feel almost cinematic—like a sweet oasis tucked away from the city bustle.

What truly sets this scoop shop apart is its daring flavor lineup. The duo tried apricot rosemary, a fragrant blend that marries sweet stone fruit with herbal hints; labne, a creamy, tangy Greek yogurt base that defied expectations; and peppermint slice, a cool minted treat crowned with a decadent chocolate swirl. Each single‑scoop was a mini adventure, proving that even classic ice cream can become an edible masterpiece.
