Don't let the place deceive you, it may looks out of you imagine but the taste don't lie! It's a little bit far from where I live and the Cookies and Cream I bought is worth it. Totally will go back here!
The staff were friendly and pleasant. The vegan cookie and dough cakester had no cookie or dough in it. The cupcake tasted like a regular chocolate cupcake. The frosting on the cupcake was sugary and I could taste the powdered sugar in it. The frosting was a bit gritty. My second choice was the vegan chocolate orange cakester. The salted caramel ice cream sandwich tasted like salted caramel and the cookies were very sugary.
Good place for desserts in lakeshore. Their salted caramel cupcake and red velvet cupcakes are really nice and creamy. Ice creams have huge variety too. Their scoops are sufficient for 2 people. Must visit
Favourite place for icecream in the city! By far! Always new flavour every time I'm there (I mean - kit kat kaluha?! Yes please!) and the icecream bars are amazing as well. The chocolates are also incredible, and not to mention beautiful! Just a great spot for sweets overall!
Great little spot. They always have new and interesting flavours. The chocolates are yummy but the ice cream I what keeps me coming back. Wonderful spot to visit if you're in the neighbourhood.
Vegan ice cream & their homemade waffle cones are to die for! Went there for the first time tonight and I'm hooked. I'm looking forward to lots of ice cream this summer :)
Incredible cakelettes with great flavour and lots of toppings. I love how much time and care goes into crafting these beauties. Definite recommend.
Best icecream in Toronto. I don't think I have ever eaten anything as good as Olenka's currant and passionfruit swirl icecream. The whole family and all our visiting friends love this place.
Queen West location - AMAZING!!. I've been twice this week! Amazing flavors. So creamy!! Absolutely delicious. I think the location is temporary so get in while you can!! So delicious!!

Do you miss chocolate with personality and a reasonable price? Sweet Olenka's has got it going on!!!
Olenka's passion for giving the customer an amazing experience through sweets and chocolate scores a ten. It is one of the closest shops that you would possibly find like in Europe but lucky you, is located in Canada instead.
Some of her unique chocolate truffles have different shapes and are hand-decorated like smiling Buddhas, nesting dolls, lips, and little turtles to name a few. Care for some homemade ice cream that tastes like its name? Yup, it's there. I tried crème brulee and it tasted like the real thing, homemade and not overly sweetened either.
Would you like some fresh and unique chocolate combinations? Yes, those are there too. The generous amount of ingredients are easy to see in the specialized chocolate bars and are also easy to tell that they are made individually.
For cakes, my personal favourite was finally finding a German chocolate cake that is rich, moist, tasty, extremely fresh and that it just was....a generous-looking cake that didn't look waxy and hasn't been commercialized to death. I've included a picture of some of the other things I bought and froze for later. The German chocolate cake didn't last long enough for a photo op... I would definitely buy the whole cake next time.
