why you need to visit: the Thai rolled ice cream

Have you tried Thai rolled ice cream?  The liquid ice cream ingredients are poured onto a frozen pan, mixed until creamy and silky smooth, then fillings are added before your dessert is rolled for serving. The Stak Shak is the only rolled ice cream spot in Greater Sudbury.  Of course if you’re looking for more of the classic ice cream, Stak Shak serves the favourites like mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, and perhaps your new favourite, like maple bacon. Look for the white trailer at the corner of LaSalle and Auger.
