Beat the Heat

in Downtown Milton

Summer has arrived, and it’s bringing the heat! With temperatures climbing above 30°C, it’s the perfect time to revisit some of our favourite refreshing spots right here in Downtown Milton.

Last summer, we shared a few of our go-to treats for beating the heat, from ice cream and bubble tea to smoothies and iced coffee. This year, we’re back with a new round of refreshing ways to stay cool while supporting local businesses. Whether you’re on a stroll through Main Street or just looking for an excuse to treat yourself, here are some must-try spots:

1. Grab a scoop or two!

You can’t go wrong with ice cream on a hot summer day. With loads of fun flavours, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! Check out Chocolate Sensations, Rockstar Ice Cream and Jays Ice Cream to satisfy that sweet tooth.

2. A/C + Retail Therapy

Cool off while browsing local fashion, accessories, and gifts at stores like Aiden & Co. Air-conditioned boutiques are a perfect escape from the sun, and who doesn’t love some retail therapy?

3. Milkshake Break at Troy’s Diner

Swing by Troy’s Diner for a refreshing, creamy treat and maybe grab brunch too!

4. Shady Spots

Need a quiet place to cool down? Grab a seat in the shade in front of Knox Milton or take a stroll through Victoria Park! Both offer a peaceful place perfect for people-watching or enjoying an iced drink.

5. Iced Tea Lemonades at Chudleigh’s Blossom Cafe

Choose from green peach, black mango, or strawberry hibiscus, the ultimate thirst-quenchers for a hot summer day.

Whether you are visiting old favourites or discovering new ones, Downtown Milton has everything you need to stay cool, refreshed, and connected to your community this summer.
