Eva's Original Chimneys

For our 2 year anniversary, Scott bought tickets to see Kinky Boots in their final performance in Toronto. Of course that means we needed to find food first! We decided to visit Evergreen Brick Works in the hopes of food trucks and a nice stroll. Although we were a little disappointed to see only two food trucks and another truck selling Harem Pants, there was one we were excited to try. For a couple weeks, Eva's Original Chimneys was mainly located at Brick Works, catching a lot of attention on social media. When we arrived, the sky was pretty overcast and the park wasn't too busy. We were able to walk directly up to the truck without a line and order the Sweet Apple Pie:

It's an ice cream cone made of a Hungarian pastry, known as a chimney cake. If you have never had one, its a lot like a doughnut, covered in sugar and cinnamon. The cone was filled with vanilla soft-serve with some apple pie filling. It was a pretty good sweet treat, but there was a secret surprise at the end...at the bottom of the cone there was a chocolate truffle. This little chocolate nugget was unexpected, and not all that welcome, it was really kind of strange to have. The pastry itself was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, tasty but not too sweet.

Likes: perfect vanilla soft serve, nice soft pastry
Dislikes: the chocolate truffle was unwelcome
Food: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Would I go again?: Maybe, but there are so many other food trucks and desserts to try that it doesn't really need to be revisited
