This ice cream parlour, which first opened in 2012, strives to dispel the myth that ice cream is full of artificial flavourings by making its scoops using just ordinary ingredients.
Merely’s ice cream is prepared from scratch, with single portions beginning at $3.30, so patrons can enjoy the quality and freshness of their ingredients without spending too much.
