The result is a delightful texture that balances density with lightness, appealing to both casual dessert lovers and ice cream aficionados alike.

The shop offers a broad spectrum of flavors, from the exotic Dubai Chocolate, rich and textured with just the right sweetness, to refreshing fruit-based non-dairy options such as mango, cantaloupe, and raspberry.

Fantastic ice cream! We both loved it so much, it’s almost like a hybrid between ice cream and gelato together, creamy, yet light. Amazingly delicious, and the owners are so sweet!

The girl serving was very nice, friendly, and helpful. Since I didn't know about a flavor, she gave me a taste and explained what it tasted like. These ice creams are delicious. A lovely atmosphere. I recommend it.

My years-long search for authentic Turkish ice cream has finally ended, and I couldn't be more thrilled. The ice cream here is incredible - I enjoyed a delightful mix of vanilla milk, banana peanut, and organic chestnut flavours. Turkish ice cream is world-renowned for its slightly denser and chewier texture than regular ice cream. This variety is delicious—sweet, cold, and incredibly satisfying. Despite its rich creaminess, it is made solely with milk, making it a lighter yet indulgent treat. The owner, Halil, added to the experience with his super-friendly and generous nature. He even offered us a complimentary cup of additional flavours. If you have yet to experience natural Turkish ice cream, you haven't tasted the best ice cream has to offer.

Small family owned and operated shop serving delicious ice cream other treats. The Dubai chocolate is outstanding, creamy, flavorful, with the right amount of sweetness and crunchiness. Edited Aug 2025 - added new photos

Firstly this is the sweetest, friendliest Dad-daughter duo you will ever meet. But secondly, have you had Turkish-style ice cream? It’s better than Gelato but similar.. it’s stickier- like a custard ice cream (think Ruru Baked) This place should have a line out the door - that’s how amazing it is! Gorgeous flavours all made in house! And the food is incredible too - we are obsessed !

As of September 2025, Pink started offering an amazing new homemade item, Chee Kofta. What is chee kofta? Chee kofta is a a traditional Turkish dish that can be made with either raw meat or, more commonly today, as a vegan dish based on fine bulgur wheat. The name translates literally from Turkish as "raw meatball". While it was traditionally prepared with very high-quality, lean raw beef or lamb, health regulations in Turkey now legally require most commercially sold versions to be meatless. Pink is now offering Chee kofta too. I also noticed they seek homemade yogurt. Pink Ice Cream is a delightful new addition to the St. Clair West neighborhood, bringing the unique and delicious flavors of Turkish ice cream to our doorstep. Their creamy, chewy ice cream is made with traditional ingredients like salep, giving it a texture unlike any other. The tahini walnut flavor is a standout, with a rich, nutty taste that is both complex and satisfying. It's a must-try for anyone who loves tahini or is looking for something a little different. Another highlight is their milk custard, a creamy, classic flavor that is executed perfectly. The shop itself is charming and inviting, with a soft pink color scheme and fun floral arrangements. It's a great place to stop for a sweet treat on a hot day or to pick up a pint to enjoy at home. If you're looking for a new ice cream experience, I highly recommend checking out Pink Ice Cream. It's a unique and delicious addition to the neighborhood that is sure to become a local favorite.

Highly recommended! I LOVE their halva ice cream and Cheekofteh! It’s the best place on St-Clair for ice-cream! And they always make fresh things on the side like handmade yogurt etc!
