Hadn't been because I don't like to stand in lines.
Went tonight and highly recommend, worth the wait.

Second only to the Gorgonzola ice cream I had in Barcelona.

    Has your no lines policy changed completely, or is it limited to ice cream only?

    I will wait in line for good ice cream, for the record.

    Most restaurants, bars, movies... are not worth waiting in lines for.
    Last time had to stand in line for food was at A Pizza Shoals. I hope never to eat their overrated hippster pizza again.

    Or as Yogi Berra said, "No one goes there any more, too crowded".

    Seems to be the cool thing right now in Toronto is waiting in line for brunch. At mediocre spots. It's ridiculous!

    Ice Cream. I will indeed line up for that though!

    Forgive me for sounding naive... But is Salt and Straw the spot or the flavour? lol

    I want a cone now!

    got into a bit a skuffle after being lied to about a visit to the local creamery.

    Have you been outside lately? It's more 70's California than California 40 years ago!

    The trend around here is frozen yogurt / load your own toppings ... Weigh that shit and go broke

    I moved to Oregon in '77 and worked next door to Rose City Frozen Yogurt, Portland's First Frozen Yogurt!
    The staff had to explain what frozen yogurt was all day, 'you see in California...'.

    Portland's been there and done that. Over.
    Gelato, still around, but this ain't that.

    Better than Mio Gelato.

    +1 on the whole hate brunch thing.

    Wait wait I understand hating lineups for brunch... but hating on Brunch itself? That's some fucked up shit. What's better than breakfast that you can sleep in for, and drink alcohol with sans judgement? Seems like the best kind of meal to me!

    Two things:

    Make your own ice cream with an ice cream maker - Hours of fun! Impress your friends!

    Iranian saffron ice cream with hunks of frozen heavy cream, topped with pistachios is life after death. Pomegranate Restaurant in Toronto serves it.

    If nothing else, for promoting the use of a truly loathsome word - eggs Benny.

    I don't understand brunch. What's the benefit of combining breakdancing and lunch?

    I hate brunch because I cook for a living. It's just one of those things.

    But I guess people who eat brunch aren't typically vegans. That's the silver lining.

    And no, I'm not going to judge anyone who wants to start boozing at breakfast. I live in Napa.

    i recently broke my girlfriend who endured 5 years of veganism using brunch

    I love eating too much to hate on any meal.
    In fact, we do a waffle and chicken brunch at my house quarterly. Guests are carnivores, vegans and every super-picky thing in-between.
    Only flesh I cook and consume comes out of the ocean, so the guy who's in charge of the chicken brings his own cookware, does his own clean-up, etc. The waffles and everything else on the menu is vegan. Including the copious amounts of grapefruit mimosas.
    It works out nice.
