Ice Cream at Manuel Latruwe

Besides their ham/cheese croissants (which are really like a croque monsier because of the bechamel/gruyere slathered all over) I now have a new reason to go there after trying their ice cream this weeknd.
I find it hard to buy a good pistachio ice cream, and theirs is amazing. I love this place!

        I walk down from Renfrew to have coffee and a croissant there whenever I want to feel better about the world. Though I am a big fan of Ladybug, I feel Latruwe might have the edge.

          Just curious about Ladybug, didn't the owner of Ladybug used to work at ML? I recall seeing her there before Ladybug opened. I'm a fan of ML as well although the prices have creeped up lately. Oh, try the stratciacella (sp?) ice cream, it's excellent.

            She did work at ML, I heard there was some bad blood when she left too.

              well yes, haven't you noticed that her ham and cheese croissants look identical? NOt to mention some other things. I know many people who refuse to frequent her stall on principle and out of loyalty to ML. In any case, ML needn't worry, their quality is still superior.

                I actually asked her once if she had worked at ML (just to make conversation) and she got a little snarky. So no more visits to her booth. And the ML products do taste better.

          I agree on all points Yen except for the blue cheese bread- I love blue cheese, but in bread it just tastes like moldy bread. IMHO.

              Of course I've tried it- and I hated it. It tasted like moldy bread.

            4 other reasons to love ML:

            1. Blue Cheese Bread. Even non-blue cheese fans love it.
            2. Croissants
            3. Hot Chocolate - melted Callebaut choc... not too sweet, real chocolate. Mmmmmm.
            4. Walnut Pecan bread - toasted with butter, it's good enough to get you (read me) out of the dog house once in a while :)

            But the ice cream is really good.
