50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Toronto

“Amazing tasting Gelato! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“I took one of my lactose intolerant friends here for her birthday and she was absolutely blown away by how much choice there was. So was I! I'm sure folks say this a lot, but you truly can't tell that this ice cream contains no dairy. Its so deliciously creamy and decadent. There's also tubs to take home and we ended up going home with quite a few! The chocolate chip cookie was also quite nice :)“

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

“Saw their truck at Barkham and had to try their ice cream. It was very delicious and high quality! My friend and I both got a mini size for around 3 or 4 dollars for each ice cream and they were larger than expected. The ice cream is creamy and flavourful and chunks are toppings inside are very delicious.“

“It was my first visit to Scooped and I was very glad I went here! We decided to go here after lunch at El Catrin. There are numerous flavors of Ice Cream, but I decided on the Guava Cheesecake. A single scoop in a cup was perfect! They make their ice creams and cones in house. I'd definitely go back here again when I'm visiting the Distillery District in Toronto!“

“Visited Disco Ice Cream & Cookies this weekend, located at College and Ossington and such cute ice cream parlour! The fun and summery vibe makes it a great spot to cool off! The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. It was so nice to speak to the owner for a bit as well!

As part of the Yelp Experience, I received a complimentary cookie of my choice (I picked the Chocolate Chip) in addition to two kiddie scoops of ice cream: Strawberry Matcha Coconut and Coffee. Both flavours were light, refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. The Chocolate Chip cookie was soft and packed with generous chunks of chocolate in every bite.

It was lovely to discover a hidden gem in the Ossington neighbourhood. I'll definitely be back to try more flavours outside of the Yelp Experience.“

“Amazing experience at Baskin Robbins! The ice cream was fresh, flavorful, and served perfectly. Manav was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our visit. He recommended some great flavors and made us feel very welcome. Excellent customer service and a great atmosphere!“

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

“We went last summer and because I'm lactose intolerant the very personable lady suggested the vegan cookie dough and gave me a small cup. 😋 Delicious... Fast forward we went again yesterday and that same awesome lady actually Remembered me.. Thank you Hima you have a lovely spirit and radiate positive energy.“

“The best Icecream in town !“

“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!“

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

“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 👏“

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

“Their chocolate vegan ice cream is delicious !“

“There’s often line ups in the summer and it goes quickly. They don’t accept Amex.

There’s a list of flavours on the wall which is helpful to make the line move faster.

Delicious ice cream. You can ask to taste the flavour before buying.“

“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.“

“It was a great experience the desert opinion was amazing we are from Florida“

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

“We went here after eating some Authentic Italian Pizza next door at Pala 148 and wanted to keep the Italy vibe going so we stopped into Gemma Gelateria and tried their dairy free dark chocolate Gelato and it was soooo good and really chocolatey! It's tasted just like melted dark chocolate! The price was reasonable and the staff were very welcoming. It's a little shop with limited seating but in the nice weather there are lots of places to sit in the area.“

“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.“

“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 ….“

“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“

“AMAZING ice cream flavours...my favourite is the Gertie's Peanut Butter Pie. They also make fabulous sandwiches!“

“Top tier gelato, unmatched this side of the border“

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

“As you can see it’s a fun, cute little spot.
The ice cream itself though was delicious! Got the peaches and cream and the taste did not disappoint. It tasted like actual peach not that artificial fruit taste and the ice cream itself was creamy, as expected from an ice cream shop. The price is also pretty on par with other independent ice cream parlours.
My only ‘complaint’ is that it’s a small space but otherwise definitely going again.“

“All the noms.“

“This gem of a Cafe is located next door to my house which is lovely bonus. Tesco is an upscale Phillipino Cafe and serves top quality hit and cold beverages as well as sandwiches and crepes and other goodies . I assumed the man behind the counter was the owner, unlike most employees who work the counter in Eateries, Drew appears invested, in my experience there, he is friendly, clean and knowledgeable, always willing to help o customer out, with directions or bus schedules. Always an enjoyable experience. And the price? Not overly cheap. But for high quality food, exllent service , great location, and relaxation, I'm willing to pay a few dollars more. Not always but in this case that old saying holds true. You get what you pay for. So try it out this weekend
And tell Drew Susan says 👋“

“The employees at Ladipri are incredibly friendly, hardworking, and professional. They always greet customers with a smile, provide excellent service, and make everyone feel welcome. Their positive attitude and dedication truly make every visit enjoyable. Highly recommended! Specially Simran and bhawan. ❤“

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

“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!“

“Nice little neighborhood ice cream spot. Tucked just off Danforth so it’s not super noisy or dirty. Good selection of ice cream, reasonable prices, friendly service. This is a go-to place for the little kids, judging by the seats on the outside.“

“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.“

“AMAZING ice cream flavours...my favourite is the Gertie's Peanut Butter Pie. They also make fabulous sandwiches!“

“Was here with a friend for a snack. That Taiwanese fried chicken was so good and the price was so affordable. Mango ice cream was also really tasty. Whenever I'm in the area, I'll probably drop back in to try the other food there.“

“Loved our experience here!! Oliver went above and beyond to ensure we had the best gelato! His customer service skills are unmatched and we definitely will be back! (Group of four, including the one “Queen” from England, haha). 10/10, would recommend!!“

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

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

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

“i have never ever tasted an ice cream like this it was to die for“

“I come up from NYC to eat every few months in Toronto (best food city in the Americas in my view) and Bakerbots is one of my must visit bakeries. Everything tastes amazing and fresh and the customer service is excellent - they asked if they could place a vegan product in the same box with my other pastries. I didn't care as I'm not a vegan but I was impressed that they asked that. The nice young girl also asked what slice I'd like - details that other bakeries do not care about. Easily my favorite bakery in Toronto and better than anything we have in New York.“

“Great fast, friendly service! ♥️ Delicious treats enjoyed by everyone on a beautiful afternoon! ☀️ 👍🏻👍🏻“

“The cookies, tarts, and drinks are delicious and amazing!!!! The staff makes you feel welcomed and they're so helpful. We highly recommend this place!!!“

“Ty SO much Amber! I love my photo cake. Hope you see this! You made me super happy. 🙏

It’s become our annual tradition. Amber has made my family’s occasion cakes for the last few years. Being gluten free ice cream cakes are the perfect option! I’ve loved every one of her creations and this year’s B-Day cake is my absolute favourite 😍.“

“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. :-)“

“The staff was very helpful and fast, the sausages were perfect, the ice cream was fresh and delicious they also have many toppings to choose from for your food, everything was very clean and tidy. You can also enjoy an excellent view of the lake. Next to it there is a park to enjoy with the children“

“They've only been at the Broadview location for three weeks but the gelato is just as amazing as ever. One freezer is gelato and the other is ice cream. The more flavours I sampled, the more of a decision paralysis I had because everything tasted so good! The dark chocolate is super rich and the sweetness is perfectly balanced; the mint chocolate is a chocolate base with a minty aroma (rather than the more common minty base with chocolate chips); the iced espresso is rich and smooth; and the pistachio was nutty and light. I will definitely be back to try some fruitier flavours like the strawberry, mango, piña colada, and others like the toasted coconut.“
