It’s been such a mild fall and almost-winter in Toronto that an ice cream is actually still a viable snack option this late in the year. And it looks like Tyra Banks agrees — the model and TV personality was just spotted at an iconic Toronto ice cream parlour grabbing a cone!
Dutch Dreams, an ice cream shop that’s been around in Toronto since 1985, shared a photo on Wednesday of Banks outside the parlour, holding a waffle cone piled high with ice cream. She posed with the shop’s construction crew for a photo (who also stopped for a frozen refuel).
The St. Clair West ice cream parlour is known in Toronto for its colourful storefront, stroopwafels, funky flavours and over-the-top sundaes. Streets of Toronto even crowned Dutch Dreams’ Movie Theatre Popcorn flavour our favourite out-of-the-box ice cream.
If you needed permission to go for ice cream past September, take Banks’ cue — especially considering the model has her own history with ice cream. She launched a new dessert through her Sydney-based ice cream shop, SMiZE & Dream, in late 2025. Dubbed Hot SMiZE Cream, the warm, pourable dessert was marketed as “hot ice cream” and was created to taste like a melted ice cream sundae. It quickly went viral, of course.
But if her Toronto appearance is any indication, Banks hasn’t given up on cold ice cream just yet — or maybe Dutch Dreams was just enticing enough to convince her to switch back!
