Hollywood Cone | Delicious Summer Desserts

It has been extremely humid this summer and like most of you, I’ve been looking for fun ways to cool down.

Instead of taking the family out for boring old soft serve, head to Hollywood Cone and treat them to something exceptional.

This trendy cafe in the heart of Whitby makes the most decadent milkshakes and gourmet donuts around. They also serve boozy adult shakes if you want something with a little extra kick.

The Mutant Shake is HUGE and topped with so much deliciousness you’re going to want to snap a few photo for Instagram.

It was difficult making a decision (there is a lot on the menu) but I chose the Strawberry Shortcake Mutant Shake loaded with ice cream, chunks of sweet berries, a few whole strawberries, whipped cream, fruit sauce and a big hunk of cake – it’s like having 2 desserts in one!

The donuts like everything else are massive and topped with a mountain of cake, candy, icing and chocolate. I couldn’t pick just one so they treated me to a box of my favorite flavors:

*Birthday Cake

*Cookies n’ Cream

*Red Velvet

*Ferrero Rocher

*Twix – stuffed with Twix pieces

*Reese – stuffed with loads of peanut butter

Foodie tip: the donuts without holes have so much filling!

The cafe also serves delicious sandwiches with thick cut fries, unique burgers, loaded hot dogs, crepes, waffles and more! Make sure to come hungry.

Holy Shakes – The Best Gourmet Milkshakes in Toronto

There is nothing better than a cool, frosty treat on a hot summer day and going out for ice cream or shakes to celebrate special occasions is a family tradition.

For the best gourmet milkshake in the GTA, head to Holy Shakes. This trendy dessert shop offers an impressive selection of decadent drinks in just about any flavor you can imagine – red velvet, PBJ, Cookie Dough, Oreo, Strawberry Cheesecake, Pistachio Crème Brûlée, Birthday Cake, Ferrero Roche, Kit Kat and so much more!

You might want to choose a flavor before heading to the store in Brampton for curb-side pick-up because it is very tempting to order everything on the menu!

The rich creamy shakes are blended to perfection before being topped with candy or cake and served in retro glass bottles. My favorite (so far) is strawberry cheesecake but I can't wait to try Coconut Bounty, Reese's and Always Nutella.

Spicy food goes great with sweet, refreshing milkshakes so while you’re at Holy Shakes, grab some lunch at The Kathy Roll Express – Toronto's finest Indian fusion street food.

Choose from a variety of tasty dishes like this creamy butter chicken mac and cheese.

Or try their famous Indian burritos stuffed with biryani style rice, beans, butter chicken and savory homemade sauces. The meat is always juicy and the dishes taste homemade and authentic with the perfect balance of heat.

The menu also includes: peri peri chicken, Punjabi tacos, cheesy tikka nachos and samosa poutine!
