50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Toronto

“Is there anything better than walking into an ice cream shop where ever ice cream is vegan? No, there is not. We were super excited to stop at Honeys but the downside is that the majority of their ice cream is sold by the pint which kind of sucks for tourists who don’t have freezer access and just want a scoop. We decided on the Chocolate Cinnamon Babka, and the Niagara Grape sherbet. I am not usually a lover of sherbet but it was excellent, much creamier than any sherbet I have had before. The babka flavour was also really good but not as unusual. Honeys is definitely worth a visit.“

“Amazing tasting Gelato! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

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

“We entered the store about 15 minutes before closing and initially felt bad since it was almost their closing time. However, the manager and the customer service representative (who seemed to be in training) were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to assist us and happily accommodated our order without making us feel rushed. Their kindness, professionalism, and positive attitude truly stood out. Excellent customer service — thank you for such a pleasant experience!“

“I stopped by Kinson in the Bathurst and Dundas area and ordered the Sushi Roll Tray B, and wow — this place is a hidden gem! Even though I forgot to take pictures, every roll looked beautiful and tasted even better. The fish quality was top notch — super fresh, buttery, and clean-tasting. You can tell they take pride in using high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous too, definitely more filling than I expected.

What really made the experience stand out was how friendly everyone was. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with a smile and made me feel welcome. The chef even came out to say hello, which gave the whole experience such a personal touch. That combination of hospitality and excellent sushi really sets Kinson apart.

If you’re looking for fresh, well-portioned sushi with service that makes you feel like family, I can’t recommend Kinson enough. I’ll definitely be coming back (and next time I’ll remember to snap some photos!).“

“Love that they make decision making easy by not having a very long list of selection. But dont get me wrong, you will still be spoilt for choices with the changing menu and seasonal options. The waffle with every ice cream is like cherry on the top.“

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

“Their chocolate vegan ice cream is delicious !“

Sarah if you are reading this we just wanna let you know you made our night and your hospitality and vast Knowledge of your art has made an everlasting impression on our lives.“

“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.“

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

“Baskin Robbins on the Danforth is always a treat! The ice cream is delicious with so many flavors to choose from, and the staff are super friendly and patient while you decide. The shop is clean, service is quick, and it’s the perfect spot for a sweet stop on a hot day.“

“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!“

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

“I said in Instagram I highly recommend this product Came from knowing what authentic italian Gelato is .. pistachio is over delicious and mastered as the most authentic artisanal gelato on its kind had tried ….“

“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“

“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!“

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

“All the noms.“

“This is the neighborhood ice cream place, no more, no less. My kids and all their friends love it.

Vegetarian options: They have some dairy free options in addition to regular ice cream.

Parking: Limited parking on the streets in the area, but there’s a Green P lot a short block north.

Kid-friendliness: It’s an ice cream shop

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a take out counter on the sidewalk.“

“Amazing flavours , ube nut,,taste yummy All flavours are great taste delicious 🥰🥰🥰“

“Nice small ice cream shop in the Junction. Serves Kawartha Dairy ice cream and some single serve Gelato. They also have cold bottled non-alcoholic drinks available in fridge.

Kid friendly with small children's stools on the sidewalk outside.

Street parking only so parking availability will vary and may have to park on side streets or walk in.

Overall a nice place especially for a walking date or with children.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Passed by this cutie gelato shop after dinner. This is my first time visiting and the gelato is surprisingly delicious. The owner said that they are home made formula. I tried the Cherry taste, fresh, creamy with cherry fruits. May visit again definitely.“

“Awesome iced matcha latte. Will come back to try their other drinks ❤“

“Just dropped by in this area for icecream i used to work at baskin robbins a year ago. This place was nice the employees were super nice and they gave big scoops or icecream for a cheap price. All the other places are so much more expensive“

“I would like to thank the staff at this BR in peticular! They made a gorgeous, delicious Pralines n Cream ice cream cake ? for my Mom's Birthday Celebration yesterday. It had sparkles and chocolate trim and was delicious! Thanks again! Best BR location in town, by far!!!“

“During a recent visit to Bar Ape, we were treated to some truly remarkable soft serve. We opted for the special, a Peaches & Cream twist, which artfully combined Ontario peach and sweet cream flavors. We also indulged in the Matcha soft serve. Both choices were exquisite and demonstrated a clear commitment to quality ingredients. The matcha was a standout, presenting a distinct and authentic flavor that balanced beautifully with the soft serve's inherent sweetness. Similarly, the Peaches & Cream was a triumph, its vibrant fruit notes instantly recalling the simple pleasure of eating a perfectly ripe, juicy peach. 10/10 would eat again.“

“my regular hideout ! cant live without their perfect balance of a sumptuous delicacy! the vendors know their trade well!“

“Delicious ice cream with unique flavours for dipping. The specialty Dubai chocolate inspired cup is incredible with 2x the dip and options to get different ice cream flavours! The amount of strawberries in this was about half the cup of sliced berries - expensive ($15 for this one) but was honestly.a worthwhile treat to share!“

“When im craving ice cream this is where i usually go, staffs are very friendly, always greeting with a smile. They also offer some samples to help me make up my mind. The cakes here are top tier they do a great job on writing and decorating the cake. Ill always come back fr.“
