50 Best Ice Cream Shops near East York

“I have been going to this store since the 80's, when it was my corner store, and ice cream shop. And it's become a destination in Toronto, a special place to visit with friends. Drop by, and feel better. ♥️🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦“

“A truly wonderful experience. Idyllic setting and neighborhood, the kindest people creating comforting and fresh flavors of chocolate, gelato, vegan gelato, and ice cream. I would recommend to anyone with a heart and a sweet tooth. Tried the mango vegan gelato and pistachio, both delightful.“

“My son can talk me into anything and a cup of gourmet ice cream is no exception. What a cute little spot this place is! The prices are quite bougie so don't come here if you aren't expecting to pay a little extra. But if you do, prepare to be delighted. First of all, the aroma's are delightful and the display of colours and topping and syrups are a treat for the eyes - how pretty. The cafe is very clean and inviting and the service topped the whole experience off. Thanks all - we will be back. But this time I'M choosing the toppings....Not sure what my son did to our last order (see photo)...but look at all the variety. :-)“

“Just love this Dairy Queen love the kids that work here all up beat. Was yesterday and had there large soft ice cream chocolate dipped and my friends had a blizzard with chocolate and cherries. Miles was really great and so happy to help us. But came back today agian order double chesse burger so no picture he eat it to fast. But I split the large poutine and koyuki face lite up and said the pouting is excellent. Thank you staff at DAIRY QUEEN just love this location. Keep up the great work.“

“For years and years, I have suffered through the agony of trying to enjoy ice cream like everyone else on the planet due to my lactose intolerance. I recently saw a City News episode talking about Honey”s! The thought of a vegan ice cream gave me pause on whether or not it would actually have the flavour it profess to have, However, I stopped by last night, buying two tubs and a small pie. I started with the pie and it was absolutely amazing. You almost wanna eat the entire thing yourself but then my I tried the Double Pistachio and I swear to God it’s like this place sold it sold to the devil to make something taste that good! They have genuinely just got customers for life! Genuinely can’t wait to try other flavours! Unbelievable And worth every penny to be able to enjoy something so delicious without the adverse reaction to my body.“

“Amazing tasting Gelato! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“Dessert Corner is truly a gem for anyone who loves quality desserts. I tried the house-made mango passion fruit ice cream, the thick shake of pure pistachio, and the thick shake of Oreo and vanilla and everything was absolutely delicious. You can genuinely taste the difference because the mango, passion fruit, and pistachio are all made in-house using fresh ingredients. The flavors were rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Honestly, a 10 on 10 experience.

What made the visit even more special was the service. Sneha was amazing, super friendly, patient, and welcoming. She even offered us samples, which was such a nice touch and really helped us choose. Her service made us feel valued and comfortable, and that kind of hospitality really stands out.

Amazing desserts, fresh ingredients, and excellent customer service. Huge appreciation to Dessert Corner and a special shout-out to Sneha for making our visit memorable. Highly recommended!“

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

“Tried this for the first time tonight and we were not disappointed! The staff is amazing, it’s so fun to see the ice cream being made and rolled right in front of you, and it’s absolutely DELICIOUS. 100% my new favourite in town.“

“I went their last weekend and to be honest, this is the best location in Toronto. Moreover, the team members Vatsal and Krish were so joufull and had great approach for the us. I was running late and had to get a cake for my friend's marraige anniversy. Although, Krish was a new joine he gave the best suggestion and all my friends enjoyed it the most. Thanks alot!“

“Best Ice Cream in the Galaxy ✨ Really lives up to the name, they have sooo many exotic flavors, vegan options, toppings and fresh energy in the space! Highly recommended all times of the year! They even have ice cream making classes & merch on the website“

“The best Icecream in town !“

“This is my favourite place to get ice cream in the city! They have so many unique flavours you must try. Whenever Wendy is here she is such a delight and friendly. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the city. Thanks for the pup cup! 🫶“

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

“Love love love this place! 5 stars is not enough, seriously! From the cones for the kids for free 5 and under to all the staff your all awesome kind and very genuinely kind. We enjoy going anytime we can the kids call this their spot lol don't wait just go trust me!!!“

“Stayed in Toronto for a week recently and this gem was a 2 minute walk away from where I was staying. I went there the first day of my trip and went back EVERY day. Double baked apple pie on a waffle cone was my go to. Ice cream was the BEST I have ever had and considering having it shipped to me since there are none in America. Amazing quality, amazing taste amazing service and the atmosphere was always clean and warm. When I return to Toronto, I'll be continuing making this my every day sweet spot!“

“she has some of the most beautifully made cakes very passionate, particularly patient even when you put in your orders last-minute. thank you Patricia not only representing our community well but also being an outstanding person 👏“

“I tried their fruitful fusion & able to choose any two flavours of their icecream. It’s made my day.�“

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

“Been visiting this place for about 10 years every week. The level of service cannot get better. This can be proved by the many customers who enter the store with a story to share with the owner or just to spend some time there.

I am very particular about sweetness as I cannot handle anything too sweet and this is just the perfect level of creaminess and sweetness. The dips and the lava cake also just perfect.

This is where we go to unwind quickly on a busy evening. We absolutely love this La Diperie branch.“

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

“The ice cream here was amazing and had tons of flavours! I ended up getting the Tahitian vanilla bean and cookies + cream in a regular cup. Kiddie and regular sizing comes with 1-2 flavours, while the large comes with 1-4 flavours. Also the ice cream is a lot in one cup for regular, and was very filling. I love the serving sizes here! The ice cream was delicious, and I will come again!“

“Amazing gyros, great service. One of the best gyros my family ever had.“

“Took my granddaughters on Saturday for a treat… they loved it! So did I! Delicious and so many choices I’ll have to come back to try more for sure. staff was friendly too.“

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

“The young women that work here work fast! There was a line up but they moved through it so quickly. There is a lot of seating outside around the building, Perfect for enjoying your treats on a nice day. Also, I haven't treated myself to ice cream in a while and was surprised that the prices were actually decent 👍🏾👍🏾“

“All the noms.“

“Amazing ice cream in the city with vegan flavours and different options to make your own ice cream sandwiches or Tacos! 10/10 always recommend“

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

“I first went to the Village Chill when I was four years old. Despite the dozens of ice cream shops which have opened up in the Cedarvale-Forest Hill areas, I keep coming back here. Each of their flavours are personal and unique. This is not your average ice cream experience. It is a tiny shop with a big heart.“

“Not sure what’s Thai about this place, since they neither have Thai flavours or Thai staff, but they make a damn good rolled ice cream. The mixture they use is a solid recipe, as the rolls come out well formed and hold their structure. Sometimes rolled ice cream will come out too brittle, melts too quickly, too icy, etc. they make them good here“

“the staff its great products“

“Such a cute & friendly spot. I remember getting ice cream here when I was 9, and earlier today, I decided to stop by to relive the memories. The shop is still just as amazing as it was before.

A sweet & friendly young man at the counter served me my ice cream, his customer service skills are on TOP.

Never get rid of the cotton candy flavour ice cream!!!“

“There is no other ice cream spot in town that comes near this one when it comes to the variety of flavors, and most importantly for some who are sensitive to dairy, a wide range of dairy free options to choose from. We drive a long distance for their ice cream, even in winter. Try the pear, melon, and chocolate flavors (dairy free)!“

“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.“

“Didn’t expect it to be this good, but the ice cream was honestly so delicious. The flavors were on point, and everything tasted really fresh.
The staff were super friendly and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Definitely coming back for more.“

“Awsome 🍨❤️🍨😜🍨❤️🍨😜🍨😜❤️🍨❤️🍨😜🍨😜🍨❤️🍨“

“Their policy is about themselves, not customer service. For instance, if their system fails it costs you, I ordered through the mobile app at my store nearby, but the app sent it to the other side of town. I called to cancel the order, but dairy Queen policy they don't issue refunds because they still have to pay someone to make it. so you're out of money and no food. it's there policy to not have customer service“

“Very nice place and cakes“

“Gemma Gelateria was great! Friendly service and lots of choices for dairy free Gelato!!! And you get 2 tasting tries and that's it, which i think is good because people can't hold up the line trying 10 different Gelatos. Love this place, will definitely be back!“

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

“I work beside Gelato Cafe: every new customer asking me wich is my favorite choice at Gelato Cafe: #1 Afogato (ice cream with authentic espresso added) tiramisu and chocolate but I have morte in mind.“

“They have unique flavours and the almond pistachio nougat is incredible. I am taking away a star because of possible consistency issues, as on my last visit, the yuzu cheesecake flavored gelato which is normally great, was incredibly overpowered by the yuzu to the point where it tasted soapy in a sense. Given the premium price tag, I'd hope for a perfect product every time.“

“One of the BEST ice creams 🍦 I’ve tasted! 😋“

“Tammy and team were so helpful in helping curate a dream cake as a gift! They were so supportive in making sure I was able to deliver it to its destination. Justine was the absolute best and so patient. The cake was delicious, and that along with the service, exceeded any expectations I had. I definitely recommend Carter’s for your ice cream cake needs.“

“We bought snacks twice at this takeout. The butter chicken roll Kadkalai Vadai introduced in the Chicken Roll brand was crispy and delicious. Compared to other take outs, their products are noticeably bland.We bought snacks twice at this takeout. Butter Chicken Roll Kadlai Vadai and recently introduced Chicken Roll was crispy and delicious. Compared to other take outs, their products are noticeably fresh and delicious.“

“Yonge and Steeles Baskin Robbins is great, has easy parking, friendly service, big variety of flavours and colourful selection of cakes.“
