A popular public park in Toronto has been bereft of a nearby neighbourhood ice cream shop for far too long — but that problem just got solved. Christie Pits Park, with its nearly nine hectares of rolling hills, free baseball games and public pool, has historically lacked easy access to cold, sweet relief on summer days.
Brokn Milk, a new neighbourhood ice cream shop dealing in "proper ice cream," officially opened Friday, July 3 at the corner of Christie and Barton, directly across the street from the northeast corner of the park. Originating as a homegrown pop-up business, the family-run operation previously appeared at Big Trouble Pizza and Tiny's General Store before setting down roots in a former convenience store.
Don't expect standard old-school scoops — Brokn Milk is all about an evolving flavour lineup, all made using locally-sourced ingredients like chocolate from Soul Chocolate and coffee beans from Subtext Coffee Roasters. The next time you find yourself delighting in the spoils of Christie Pits Park, you can visit Brokn Milk at 151 Barton Ave.
