La Cigale

Charming ice cream shop, great place for kids and adults alike. A fairylike garden to enjoy your cold treat in the heart of Chelsea. Great after a hike or bike:)

For the plant lovers there is an adorable shop on sight.

A truly amazing ice cream place offering lots of flavours and options. They make the best Salted Caramel and Mocha Milkshake I’ve ever tried. My kids loved their Banana Split Sundae, Strawberry and Sour Cream Ice Cream, and Mango Sorbet. There is plenty of seating, with comfy chairs scattered all over a huge garden.

Great employees, variety of flavours you won't find elsewhere, and nicely presented and maintained outdoor grounds.

Nous apprécions beaucoup que La Cigale considère les allergies alimentaires. Nous cherchions justement un endroit crème glacée pour allergies aux arachides de mon garçon! En plus, super service!
MERCI!

Best ice cream I've ever had! Definitely drop by if you're in the area. They have so many flavours, of the few I've tried they were all very concentrated in taste. Can't wait to try their other flavours.

Nestled in a beautiful garden with friendly staff and an amazing selection of flavors. We tried the regular sized waffle cones with scoops of cappuccino and chocolate/mocha/almond and key lime pie and ginger snaps/ chai. The portions were huge. My husband couldn't get through his second scoop and I had trouble finishing mine. Flavors were intense and true to the description. Just the right amount of sweetness. Will definitely go back but maybe get a single scoop.

The best ice cream which I ever tasted, so many flavours. My favourite is chocolate hazelnut, but I always try to choose some new, and I have one more in my favourite list - coconut cashew, - veeeeeery yummy!

I had a scoop green tea of green tea ice cream and a scoop of banana walnut skor.the green tea was super refreshing, and the banana walnut skor had real banana and walnut! Best ice cream on the north side of the Ottawa river!

Great variety of flavours, and homemade waffle cones. Be prepared to line up, but it's worth it!

Went with a group of seniors on and rainy day and the service was excellent. Staff was patient with orders and happily took the time to wipe down and dry seating for us. Dozens of delicious ice cream flavours and a lovely setting.

Some of the best ice cream we have ever had. Great choices and gluten-free cone option is a bonus.

One of the best, most delicious ice cream place in the area. The ice cream is fresh and creamy. Lots of flavors to choose from. Extremely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Fantastic assortment of home made ice cream that is always creamy and delicious. Lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the treats as well.

I'm in Ottawa/Aylmer visiting a friend and she has to bring me to this place for ice cream and it definitely exceeded expectations. Tellement délicieux, la crème glacée. J'ai pris fraises et crème sur, pistaches et le sorbet a la mangue. C'était tellement bon.

Better than DQ, worse than if you can find a good homemade icecream place. Similar pricing to DQ. Friendly staff.

Loved their homemade chocolate chip and white chocolate and raspberry ice cream sandwich they are just the most epic and best tasting I ever had. The cookie was incredible and the ice cream flavour was so delicious and well balanced. Can't wait to go back. I can't believe I ate it so fast that I didn't even think of taking a picture. However I went back and made sure to correct my mistake. Hopefully you can see what their ice cream sandwiches looks like now for yourself. My girls opted for a sweet ice cream come with either their cookies and cream or their birthday cake ice cream. They have a large assortment of hard ice cream flavors and sorbets. They also serve sundaes, brownies with ice cream and hot fudge, as well as banana splits. You definitely have to stop there if you are in Chelsea and either have a bresert, lunert, or dinert. (Desert for breakfast, or lunch, or diner)

Qualité. Bonne batch de chocolat et beurre d'arachide (croquant!).

La saveur au moka-caramel est sucrée.

File d’attente très longue, prix très élevé, saveur de crème glacé à la lime beaucoup trop sur, je suis très déçu qu’il aient enlevé la saveur pâte à biscuit (c’était la meilleure) par contre le lieu est très beau et j’adore les affiches et la rapidité que les cornets se font

Toujours aussi agréable de pouvoir déguster notre crème glacée dans l'arrière cour! La détente totale

One of THE best ice cream place i have been in a very long time. Must try no matter what. I dont lie.
White chocolate raspberry, Amazing.

Great selection of flavors and a great reward at the end of a long bike ride. Hard to choose just one! Also appreciate their commitment to reducing waste

Fantastic ice cream and sorbet, and a beautiful place to enjoy it! The wraparound porch, and large landscaped yard (with kids' play area and sandbox) are perfect for relaxing while enjoying a nice cone.

Probably my favourite ice cream in the Ottawa area (note I don’t consider gelato as ice cream). Alway unique flavours, sometimes too many, makes it hard to choose.

Good place, fun, and line moved quickly.they messed up my order and then help my order (ice cream) back until I paid them to correct the it and pay for the waffle cone that they forgot to add. We asked them twice for it and they wrote it down. Not a classy move but not the end of the world either over all great place. The ice cream sandwich is hard as a rock not something you can eat right away I would just avoid it it was terrible and when you can actually bite through it, loaded with sugar.
