iHalo Krunch

Located right near Trinity Bellwoods Park at 831 Queen Street West, iHalo Krunch is a must-visit destination for dessert lovers and adventurous foodies seeking a unique alternative to standard scooped ice cream. As Toronto's pioneer of activated-charcoal soft serve, this shop is famous for its striking, Asian-inspired flavors served in signature black waffle cones. These eye-catching cones are made from coconut husks and hand-rolled daily.

The menu features rich, creamy soft serve flavors like ube, matcha, and coconut-charcoal. To prevent messy leaks while you walk, the shop places a sweet treat at the bottom of every cone. While many customers love the balanced, not-too-sweet flavor profiles, some visitors note that certain options, like the pandan flavor, can have a slightly grainy texture. Additionally, the distinct Asian-inspired flavors might not appeal to every traditional palate.

Even with these minor trade-offs, the shop has built a loyal following. One regular customer noted that they visit almost every other weekend because the delicious, non-traditional treats are so satisfying. For those looking to share the experience, iHalo Krunch accepts credit cards, offers delivery, and provides on-site catering services for weddings, corporate events, and private parties.
