Brokn Milk

Brokn Milk is a family-run ice cream shop that has officially set down roots in a former convenience store at the corner of Christie and Barton, directly across from the northeast edge of Christie Pits Park. The business, which originated as a homegrown pop-up previously featured at local spots like Big Trouble Pizza and Tiny’s General Store, fills a long-standing gap for artisanal frozen treats in the immediate area. The shop emphasizes a commitment to quality, moving away from traditional, hum-drum scoops in favor of an evolving menu of creative, small-batch flavours.

For a first visit, expect a rotating selection of ice cream crafted with high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients, including chocolate from Soul Chocolate and coffee beans from Subtext Coffee Roasters. As a new addition to the neighbourhood, it serves as an ideal stop for those spending time in the park, offering a more community-focused alternative to the nearby chain options. While the shop is still finding its rhythm, visitors should be prepared for a casual, walk-up experience typical of a neighbourhood ice cream parlour. There is no formal reservation system, so it is best to plan for a quick, grab-and-go visit while enjoying the nearby green space.
