iHalo Krunch opened its doors across from Trinity Bellwoods Park on June 17, serving four signature soft ice cream flavours in charcoal black cones made in-house from coconut husks. Black on Black is made of coconut charcoal; Ube Haze is an ube-infused purple soft serve; Meet Your Matcha is made with green tea; and Bean There Done That is a vanilla-bean soft serve. You swirl any of these four flavours together to create a tasty (and Insta-worthy) treat.

Based on the first reviews, it looks like the ube-charcoal swirl is currently the most popular order.
