It was all a dream.


Welcome to "Holy Batter"! We are a Toronto-based Italian water ice business founded in 2022 by a passionate black female owner, Dae. Inspired by fond childhood memories spent with her late grandfather, who introduced her to the joy of Italian water ice, Dae embarked on a heartfelt mission to bring this beloved Philadelphia treat to Canada.

Dae's summers were spent with her beloved grandfather, who was originally from Philadelphia and introduced her to the world of Italian water ice. She fondly remembers the excitement of visiting her grandfathers connivence store, where she would be treated to the refreshing and delicious flavours of this frozen delight. Those memories stayed with her throughout her life, and she knew she had to share the joy of Italian water ice with her community in the GTA.

At "Holy Batter", we take pride in crafting authentic Italian water ice that pays homage to Dae’s cherished memories and her grandfather's legacy. Using traditional recipes and techniques, we create our Italian water ice in small batches to ensure the utmost quality and flavour. Our menu features a variety of flavours that are made with real fruit and carefully selected ingredients, including classic favorites like mango, cherry, and blue raspberry.

"Holy Batter" is more than just a business; it's a labor of love. Dae pours her heart and soul into every scoop of Italian water ice, aiming to create a memorable experience for every customer. She is committed to upholding her grandfather's legacy by delivering the same authentic taste and warm hospitality that he instilled in her during those cherished summers.

As a black female entrepreneur, Dae is proud to bring diversity to the frozen dessert industry in the GTA. She is dedicated to fostering inclusivity, and "Holy Batter" is a safe space where everyone is welcome to indulge in the nostalgic flavours of Italian water ice and create their own cherished memories.

We are also committed to giving back to the community that has welcomed us with open arms. "Holy Batter" actively engages in local initiatives and supports charitable organizations to make a positive impact on the lives of those around us.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the rich history of Italian water ice and the legacy of Logan Sterling. Come visit "Holy Batter" and treat yourself to a taste of Philadelphia right here in the GTA. Thank you for being a part of our story and supporting our passion for frozen treats!
