I (sort of) tried this place back in 2018, when they had frozen custard on the menu at Woodfire Sandwich Co, an offshoot of Woody’s Burgers.  Alas, the sandwich place is no more, but the ice cream has been bumped up to its own thing (though it’s now inside Woody’s Burgers).

As I mentioned in my previous post, frozen custard (which is basically just standard ice cream with an added richness and flavour from egg yolks) is weirdly hard to find in the city.  So the fact that The Loop Creamery exists at all makes me happy.

And it’s quite tasty.  I think it’s actually improved since 2018; the ice cream is rich and creamy, with a mild but satisfying custard flavour.  It’s quite good.

I went with the Old School, which is just peanuts and caramel in a vanilla base.  The peanuts had gotten a bit soft in the ice cream, but it was otherwise quite tasty, with the rich custard base working very well with the ribbons of sweet caramel.
