“Got what we wanted! Tested a few new flavors, thanks to the kind staff, and finally picked two unique flavours which we didn't know ever existed. Clean and not much of rush here.Close to the bus stop. I wish the outlet had seating facility.They take orders for ice cream cakes but no delivery service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I need a phone number do they have one ??“

“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 and above the top service from Raj!! He went through what was gluten-free with me and helped me pick the best option. He is soo considerate!! Get this guy a raise!!
Made me feel special on my birthday!! I lll definitely be coming back! He is a huge asset!“

“The best Icecream in town !“

“Delicious ice cream with a wide variety of unique and interesting flavours. Got the chrysanthemum, vegan chè ba màu and Kinako brown sugar and they were all yummy. Really enjoyed the texture of all the ice creams, the vegan one was just as good as the other two.
Would’ve liked to sample some (such as everything bagel) before buying a full scoop but they do not provide samples. The bowl provided also had a strong cardboard scent (like an egg carton). Great that it was eco-friendly but the smell was not very pleasant.

Dietary restrictions: They have various gluten-free and vegan options.“

“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.“

“Honestly, 10/10 ice cream!
The service was excellent even tho it was 9 PM, lovely people and the ice cream was delicious at a reasonable price. 4 Big scoops came at 15$, and I got the Burnt Marshmallow (7/10, the cookies and cream (9/10) and the Rocky Driveway (9/10).
I’ve tried a lot of ice cream, but it's not as fresh as this. 🙌🏼“

“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!“

“We tried the waffle pop-up as part of the distillery Christmas market and this was honestly the best food item we had in the market :)
The waffles were very crispy and just the right level of sweet (with the sauces). The person who made the waffles was great and remembered our specific customizations“

“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 ….“

“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“

“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.“

“Tried this place on a whim after we had a craving for Italian food and were not disappointed!
The standouts are the sake rose (creamy, umami) and the bo kho bolognese (great pairing of Vietnamese beef with the tomato sauce). The duck breast green curry’s flavours worked well together, but I think it should have double the amount of meat for the dish.
The orders didn’t take long to make, about 10-15 minutes from time of ordering from the touch display.
Will likely be back when another craving hits!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Super friendly and helpful. I always seem to find a new discovery each time I visit and a treasure trove of great and unique gift ideas. Not to mention the yummy ice cream and gelato…and coffee…and snacks…did I mention the yummy treats? ;)“

“All the noms.“

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

“Super accommodating and fast at responding. I thoroughly enjoyed planning this entire event with Jona’s help. We had to reschedule due to poor weather and Jona was very understanding about it. The ice cream cones they served were really big and our clients had an amazing time.“

“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.“

“Very nice place and cakes“

“We hired My Sweetie Pie to be the dessert at our wedding in place of a wedding cake. They were absolutely incredible! it was such a lovely alternative for our wedding (we're not huge cake people). Everybody loved the pies! With our order, we also got small to-go containers so our guests could take the leftovers and it was a huge hit! My Sweetie Pie made the delivery process so easy and worked into our special day seamlessly. Good people, great pie, and overall a fantastic local business. Thanks so much, My Sweetie Pie!“

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

“Cute date spot with delicious Kawarthas Ice cream and generous sized scoops.

Very friendly and warm staff :)

Dockside Cappuccino or Muskoka Mocha are must try flavors!

My new favorite ice cream spot on the east side of Toronto.“

“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.“

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.“

“Pretty good gelato, They have a lot of vegan flavours, but I find they sometimes have an artificial/too sweet taste to them, though it’s pretty slight. Most are delicious!! So definitely worth trying!

Dietary restrictions: offer dairy-free/vegan options“

“I ordered a durian chiffon cake and a mango pomelo mousse cake for my parents anniversary. Both cakes were super delicious. The durian had a nice sweet taste and the cake sponge was soft. The mango pomelo mousse was really smooth with strong mango flavors.“

“Best Gelato on the Danforth! Great espresso. Fresh baked cookies. Dog friendly.“

“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“

“I wish they had more "food" options in terms of being able to mix the ice cream flavours together (maybe 2-3 max) and more topping options. The service is great, sometimes it get loud in there with people speaking and to combination of them preparing the ice cream. But overall cute spot and god ice cream, recommend!

Parking: There's alot of parking spots but the Plaza gets very busy which sometimes makes it hard to find parking“

“I recently discovered Sweetland, and it is by far the best fresh juice store I have come across. I find myself travelling over 30 minutes time and time again just for a cup of their amazing Juices. Not only are the drinks good, but the owners and workers are so kind. They will help with flavour choices, provide samples and even gave me a free drink.“

“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“

“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.“
