About
The Ice Cream Parlour is a locally owned eyewear boutique that opened in Denman Place Mall in 2022, founded on a simple idea: premium designer eyewear shouldn’t come with a luxury-tier markup.
The shop offers a tightly curated lineup of designer frames including Ray-Ban and Oliver Peoples, chosen for quality and value. Eye exams can be booked through the shop’s online scheduler. Walk-ins are welcome.
