Here at The Mouse and Duck Travel Blog we plan one or two really fun family trips away from home each year. That leaves us approximately 49 other weekends for staycations. And of course, every good staycation should involve ice cream. If you like a challenge, try all our top picks for ice cream in London Ontario and let us know which you like best. Full disclosure: we like ice cream….a lot.

Quality of Ice Cream: 9/10
Atmosphere: 8/10 Value: 7/10 What Double Decker Ice Cream lacks in indoor seating it makes up for in cool retro-ness. The fact that you get to eat Shaws ice cream served out of an old-school double decker bus is awesome (it reminds us of the days when London had a double decker bus tour through the city….no seriously it did). They do have a good selection of flavours and friendly service. There are a few umbrellas and the bus provides some shade. The parking lot is very big but you are very close to Wellington Rd. |

I can only compare Merla Mae and Dairy Queen for their vanilla ice cream. But since their vanilla ice cream is the base for most other creations, I would think that it should be judged as important. Dairy Queen wins hands down. I have always lived near a Merla Mae (40 years) and hadn't tried a Dairy Queen until a year ago. I now drive the extra distance to a Dairy Queen for a vanilla cone.
