Tasty Scoops at Misfit Ice Cream

Misfit Ice Cream is a new ice cream spot that’s right across the street from where Mizzica used to be on McCaul.  It’s currently listed as “Misfit Ice Cream Pop Up” on Google, so I guess they won’t be sticking around (Update: I was correct about this — since the time I wrote this, they’ve closed, but will hopefully be reopening elsewhere at some point.  Keep an eye on their website, I guess) .  Based on the scoop I had, I hope they find a permanent location soon.

They describe what they’re selling as “French custard ice cream,” and yeah, it’s definitely got a custardy flavour.

I got their most popular flavour, sweet cream creme brulee (“creamy custard with crunchy brûlée bits”).

The quality of the ice cream itself is quite high; it’s nice and creamy, and the aforementioned custard flavour is thoroughly satisfying.  It probably could have used more of the crunchy bits, but it’s clearly an above average scoop of ice cream.

A Great Ice Cream Pop-up at Good Behaviour

There are very few good things that have come out of the last year and a half, but one of the few is the explosion of ice cream shops in the GTA.  Yes please to more delicious ice cream.  There’s no such thing as too many ice cream shops, especially if it’s as good as what they’re serving here.

Good Behaviour

Like a lot of the new ice cream shops in the city, Good Behaviour started out selling pints to go, but they’ve very quickly expanded to three pop-up scoop shops: one on Christie, one on Bloor, and the one I visited, inside Egg Bae in Kensington Market.

I tried Chocolate Moose Track, which the menu describes as “dark chocolate base, chunks of chocolate peanut butter cups, & ribbons of chocolate fudge.”

Good Behaviour

I don’t think I got any peanut butter cups, and whatever they sprinkled on top was completely superfluous and actually kinda detracted from the ice cream, but otherwise this was top-notch stuff.

Normally the lack of advertised PB cups would have vexed me, but the ice cream itself was so crazy good that I honestly did not care at all.  The chocolate flavour was delightfully intense, and the ice cream base was perfectly rich and creamy.  It’s way above average.
