28 Best Ice Cream Shops in Toronto

“Amazing tasting Gelato! ❤️❤️❤️“

“As a girly with an unfortunate allergy to dairy this is the place for me. A safe haven where my guts will not be rearranged in the not-so-fun kind of way.

The staff are always sweet, kind, and lovely, and always so patient and happy to serve you. I never feel rushed even when there's a line out the door.

Don't be fooled by some of the weird flavours, though, it always slaps. Plus, you can try before you buy!“

“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“

“Excellent address! We ate very well with impeccable service from a waitress who was as kind as she was caring despite the language barrier. The sushi was impeccable, especially when you look at the price. Quality ingredients and perfectly cooked. Go for it!“

“Ice cream and toppings are amazing. Although when I asked for extra chocolate topping, which I paid extra for and was happy to pay more for, the staff was very hesitant. Otherwise, the ice cream is delicious, but I hope the staff was a bit more generous and friendly.“

“I've become a regular at this ice cream shop because of their impressive variety of delicious, creamy flavors. The staff is friendly, and the cozy, inviting atmosphere makes each visit a pleasure. Definitely one of the best ice cream spots around - highly recommend stopping by!“

“super cute shop, owner was very friendly and cupcakes and cookies were very good!“

“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.“

“Their chocolate vegan ice cream is delicious !“

“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 ….“

“Decent ice cream. Compared to other places I've been to, I felt like it lacked a variety of flavors. I got the cinamon role flavor in a cup and thought it tasted good. The place seemed pretty bland overall. Black menu with white text; that's it. Just thought an ice cream shop could use more vibrance. Again, ice cream was good!“

“Absolutely a MUST-TRY for any ice cream lover like me! This place offers fresh, warm waffle cones paired with authentic gelato in an incredible array of flavors that will transport you straight to dessert heaven. We got the cherry rose cheesecake, chocolate cashmere, and saffron ice cream, and each one was beyond extraordinary. The staff are incredibly friendly and encourage you to sample as many flavors as you like before deciding, which adds to the great experience. If you find yourself near any of their locations, don’t miss out. We’ll definitely be back for more soon!“

“Well worth the hype! Smooth, light icecream with great set of flavours. Got burnt marshmallow and mercury espresso. Burnt marshmallow is love! Service was quick, organized with warm staff. I travelled an hour and a half to try Ed’s scoop and can’t wait to plan another visit to one of the locations.“

“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.“

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

“First time visiting Gemma Gelato St Clair W on aft Aug 30, 2024 during a walk-by. Popped in, server was very friendly. Pleasantly surprised to have experienced the most outstanding gelato (dark chocolate), I've ever had. Single serving at $5.65 incl tx was a solid scoop on a standard cone (dbl scoop approx $2 more). Great value and best of all, gelato kept super cold, not soft mushy melty stuff you walk away with at some places. Definitely returning to try every single other flavour!!“

“yummy we are comimg back to again“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing place, and especially owner Tracy such a kind and fun person. Over 200 delicious ice-cream flavors (rotating). Really tasty other ice-cream snacks like ice cream cake, ice cream snickers bar, delicious Popsicles. This place is warm, welcoming and sweet, all locals know and love it!“

“Affordable price.. friendly staff and the product quality good and delicious“

“Really delicious gelatooooo!!!“

“All the noms.“

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

“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“
