50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Downsview

“We were served quickly as usual. Our treats were delicious!“

“If you're in the mood for a sweet treat or just wish to do a little more plain ice cream or plain cake, then I wholeheartedly recommend popping by at DQ for some endorphin boost! Range of options to choose from, and lovely staff to attend to you. I got my name written on one of my ice-cream cakes, and even though it didn't turn out (font-wise) as I'd expected, I appreciate the gesture.“

“Amazing tasting Gelato! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I tried the seasonal s’mores flavour and one of the peanut flavoured ones and they were both amazing. There is so much detail that goes into the texture and flavour of individual elements mixed into the ice cream that it’s really a tasting experience. They are very pricey tubs but worth it for the quality! There’s a line out the door on weeknights because it’s that good.“

“Had the golden dragon roll, the green dragon roll and the spider roll. All were good to great, and reasonably priced with good portions.

Had the matcha mochi ice cream for dessert, and it was also good. I'll definitely be going back.“

“Rashida did a fantastic job for the cake I ordered. It was a little bit out of the scope of what was offered but she listened to the request and did an incredible job on the design! We will definitely order the next cake from here again! It was a heart shaped vintage coquette cake and we got many compliments!“

“LYCHEE ROSEWATER RASPBERRY & LONDON FOG are my favourite ice creams!“

“Small independent owned ice cream shop under 5 minute walk from Lansdowne subway station and bloor go station.

Ice cream pints are 14.99 for the smaller tub. I liked the cookie with seasalt, the Hawaiian treat wasn't for me but it's always fun to try new treats.

Had 2 different scoop, one passion fruit ice cream and one cinnamon toast crunch. Friend had the miso butterscotch

This is my second visit, first time I believe I had banoffee pie and a second flavour, can't remember. Always a good time at ruru.

Also tried their pandan coconut and calamansi at the we life event“

“The best Icecream in town !“

“This place makes one of the most authentic ice creams in Canada. Excellent customer service 💕“

“I had the Black Sesame Oreo (V). If it weren't for the V, I'd never have guessed it was vegan. Very rich in black sesame flavour and very creamy.“

“Seriously the best tasting ice cream and always a great selection of non dairy Sorbet.“

“This demetres is Newly opened in the distillery district and is huge to accommodate groups of people and also has couple friendly chairs lol

The place has outdoor seatings too with amazing menu like waffles , crepes, shakes and coffee

The scooped by demetres is right next to it if you just want to gather grab ice cream

The single scoop of icecream here is about $11 with taxes but it’s good in quantity“

“Best gelato in town. Not so sweet and reasonable price. Love it“

“I had ordered a white heart shaped cake for my daughter's birthday. They had made it exactly what I was looking for. I was able to pick the flavor and went with white chocolate. It was a hit at the party. Everyone loved it. I would rate 100 stars if I could. Thanks for making my daughter's birthday a blast.“

“We're crazy about the dipped cones and hot fudge sunday. Vanilla dipped in butterscotch or chocolate shell is our favorite. The fudge sunday, is great too. Good prices and menu is pretty extensive but not complicated. I tried a coke slush which was also fabulous. Really cool little venue, we come as often as we're in the area. Thanks Tom's, you guys are killing it.“

“Very nice place and cakes“

“Absolutely delicious 😋! No wonder Pistachio is so popular, it's so yummy and I paired it with Hazelnut, woooh, so good!!!“

“This store is the inspiration for the song "Bobcaygeon" by The Tragically Hip.

Gord Downie once recalled coming up with the lyrics while walking down Carlaw Avenue after getting Baskin-Robbins with his daughter.“

“Prasannawh helped us with our order and in my life I’ve never seen anyone so friendly. His service was quick, professional, and friendly. I’ll be visiting again because of him! He’s the best
If I could give more than 5 stars I would.“

“All the noms.“

“I can’t stress this enough, the ice cream it’s not cheap but for obvious reasons! This is the best ice cream I ever had! I like to put on the scale like this, DQ’s is a soft cream ice cream, they should charge like a dollar for their ice cream, but instead it’s like $4 to $5 at this time. Baskin Robins has the best cost/benefit of all. Pretty tasty ice cream and comparing to DQ’s, it’s the same price to have a real ice cream. But now, when it comes to real deal artesanal extremely flavourful and creamy ice cream, flavours nowhere else makes it and have the advantage to take a pint to go without taxes, it totally worth it to come to this one! My favourite!“

“Got the Ube Chimney which is like a hollowed out churro with ice cream inside. It’s quite sweet and is rather unique but nothing that really blew me away.

Give it a try if you’re in the area. The truck also serves savoury foods and I am curious if those are any good. Will try next time.

It’s a food truck so don’t expect much in terms of atmosphere.

Parking: Next to a paid parking lot.“

“One of my fav ice cream parlors in the city! Vast selection of flavors that rotate, plus milkshakes and floats (who doesn't like a root beer float?). I'm a sucker for Mint Chip, but their Graham Cracker Crunch and Almond Butter flavors are also killer, on a waffle cone of course. Love a good mom and pop shop #supportlocal“

“Nice to have a somewhat local place to go for ice cream in the hood. Decent price for a good amount of yumminess!“

“We had the pleasure of having Alen and his team serve ice cream at our event, and they exceeded our expectations. They provided a fantastic selection of ice creams, slushies, and icebergs, all fresh, delicious, and perfectly refreshing. The portion sizes were generous, and the variety was impressive. Alan and his team were incredibly flexible with our schedule and made the entire experience seamless. Their genuine care for customer service is clear in every interaction, and they made working with them an absolute delight. To top it off, they also have an amazing food truck that’s definitely worth checking out(Fire Queen). Highly recommend their services!“

“always a pleasant experience and tasty goods. I love the Iced tea with lemon Gelato as a cool down treat in the summer.“

“Appetizers, drinks, entrees and especially the dessert was on 🔥🔥🔥“

“What a pleasure it is to deal with Jona when booking the Icecream truck. I have used GTA Softee Ice Cream Truck for a few summers now and each time, the driver/server is so friendly and nice. We love when they come and its great tasting and lots of selections.“

“I had ordered a white heart shaped cake for my daughter's birthday. They had made it exactly what I was looking for. I was able to pick the flavor and went with white chocolate.

“Amazing gelato with many unique hand made flavors. They also have tours!“

“Such a hidden gem at First Markham Place, they are located in the food court so it’s easy to find. They have a variety of espresso drinks and also they make good matcha. There are also cake slices available for purchase and they make customized cakes that are so cute and packaging is very chic. Definitely try them out if you are in the area.“

“Small take out location. I have gotten some ice cream a few times. Flavours are good but the texture is so strange. Kind of gooey. My husband likes it but I'm undecided. I just like the salted egg yolk ice cream. I saw many people buying a lot of flan but I tried one and it was just okay. Small for price. Tried the milk cheese lychee drink which was okay. Will come back to check out other desserts.

Staff very welcoming and kind. Cash discount available. There are about 3 small tables to sit at.“

“For those who enjoy good gelato options and very well-made gelatos, Gemma is a great option to visit. The gelateria is located close to several shops, banks, bus stops and between Dansville and Eglinton stations.

For those arriving by car, there is a paid parking lot in front of the establishment, as well as other points on Avenida Younge.

The store offers excellent accessibility for customers with disabilities and limited mobility: access ramp, automatic door opening, seats that fit wheelchairs (unfortunately, they do not have a menu in Braille, but the attendants are always ready to help).

The gelatos are extremely tasty and very well served. The service is great, and you also have the option of taking some home and not just eating it locally.

For those with dogs, pets are allowed in the outdoor area. It is definitely worth checking out.“

“in addition to all their amazing Gelato choices, they also have lots of delicious non-dairy Gelato choices. Love the owners too. A very family friendly vibe.“

“Waiting for my another Roll me Up icecream…😋😋😋so yumm…honestly new experience wid icecreams and spcl Thanks to the service at Markham outlet..great going Roll Me Up Team“

“I tried the coconut ice cream at PalettAmérica, and wow, it was perfeeeect! So creamy, refreshing, and full of flavor. Special thanks to Fargol, who was the sweetest! She introduced everything with such enthusiasm and made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommend!“

“Pretty good soft serve ice cream with many choices of toppings / dips. Especially since there are not too many options around here for ice cream, at least at the time of writing. Service was good and prompt, and the cheesecake dip was exquisite. Thank you.“

“really nice store that clean and friendly servers. great selection of cakes.“

“We just happened to see this while looking for a snack place. We ordered strawberry- banana shake and hazelnut milk, banana, ice cream (this is really good). The place is clean, and the person who made our drinks is friendly. The parking space is big enough so no need to worry about it and it’s free.

We’ll definitely visit this place again to try their other menu.“

“Absolutely delicious gelato! We tried the pistachio, hazelnut, and coffee, and each one was bursting with incredible flavor. The consistency was perfectly creamy and not overly sweet, which we loved. Plus, the friendly staff went the extra mile to confirm the flavors were gluten-free. We'll definitely be back for more!“

“got a custom mermaid themed ice cream cake for my daughter's 6th birthday. wife spoke with Sanye who designed and made this cake. we got compliments from all the parents for the design and details and the kids loved the mermaid tails.
if you need a custom designed ice cream cake, then this is the location you need to order from. make sure you speak with Sanye!“
