While the establishment is often busy during the summer, the fast, friendly service generally ensures a positive experience. Although some reviewers note concerns regarding line organization, parking access, or the occasional inconsistency in product texture and temperature, the majority of feedback emphasizes the charming, nostalgic atmosphere and the staff's dedication to customer satisfaction. As a local institution that offers treats for families and pets, it remains a highly recommended destination for anyone seeking a classic and tasty dessert experience.
Excellent hard ice cream made on-site - the quality really shows. Seating is in the parking lot, which is part of the casual charm. Can get quite busy & noisy, especially with younger crowds, but that's a minor gripe for such a great product.
Good: Good quality individual racks to park your bike to.
Bad: Access more complicated then it should be. From the south it's fine, but from the north, the Cartier Av. bike lane suddenly ends, & forcing a merge onto what's often a busy street (let's just say it's not safe enough for kids to ride on). The city had planned originally to have the lane connect to the one in Edgewater park, but the business owner successfully lobbied against that
Edit: Since he called me a liar, the plans were scaled back to save a dozen parking spots right in front of the business. See CBC article'Pointe-Claire Village bike path plans clash with merchants' parking needs' of March 6th 2017.
Also, relax, you make good ice cream. I like the cookie dough hurricane. One tiny review won't hurt you
Went in for a liter hard ice cream Monday after work. Asked for vanilla & choco flavors mix & only got one flavor in the liter cup. Found out about this after I got home & try to call the store to complain. Unfortunately no direct phone number to this location. Not pleased with the experience at all?? not gonna give any tip next time.

Replying to the owner's response?
Thank you for the response. I understand that misunderstandings can happen, but I don't think it's fair to frame this entirely as a communication issue on my side, especially since the store was not busy & I clearly asked for a mix of vanilla & chocolate in the litre.
What disappointed me more was the proposed solution. By the time I discovered the mistake, I had already left the area & gotten home. Asking a customer to travel all the way back again just to verify the issue is not very practical. A more reasonable option could have been to take down my name/number & offer a replacement or credit for my next visit.
I also want to clarify that my comment about tipping came from frustration with the overall experience, not from trying to attack the staff personally. I appreciate that your team responded, but I still feel the situation could have been handled in a more customer-friendly way.
I've been a returning customer for 4 years & have recommended your store to many friends over that time, which is why this experience was especially disappointing to me. Mistakes happen, but I was hoping for a bit more understanding & flexibility in resolving the situation.

Wild Willy's 🍦is one of my favorite ice cream spots! It's usually busy, but the lines move fast so you're never waiting too long. The ice cream is always great. Lots of great flavours & sundaes too. My go-to is the Zigamazoo, a perfect combo of hard & soft ice cream in a cone. Definitely worth the stop.
Pros:
A) Over 40 flavors & different options to choose from. They also have Dog Treats & Ice Cream cakes but you order in Advance for that.
B) Beautiful location since 1994 right in the Pointe-Claire Village.
C) Its busy especially during the summer months, & they hire local students. God Bless you 🙏
D) The staff & employees have a good heart & they speak English & French.
E) Accept Credit/Debit & Money & have 4 queues if busy.
Cons:
A) There can be a mess up on order if not heard or understood correctly.
B) The Lineups are confusing at times & it may be difficult to follow.
C) The music speaker outside low volume so hearing the music may be difficult.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this Ice cream shop to all. I drank a milkshake one time & got food poisoning. Still it's a good ice cream shop.
This place is great. Some reviews are silly, expecting replacement scoops of ice cream for free. Samples within reason is commonplace at ice cream shops, I thought this was widely known. Don't need to take advantage of the samples here though because anything I've tried is great. Every time I've been is very busy, because it's good. Even though busy the customer service was good. Keep it up & ignore the Negative Nancy's. Get a cone & walk by the water before summer is gone!
Big selection of hard, soft, Belgian & vegan ice creams. Good selection of slush flavours. Great service. Nice area to sit in. Although it was not busy when we went, they appear to be set up for lineups. Definitely worth the visit.
