50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Willowdale

“The staff were very friendly and patient with all 5 of us in our group. I loved that they had very tasty sugar free options so diabetics also had the same enjoyment as everyone else. Will be returning a lot!“

“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 💕“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best Icecream in town !“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped by Marble Slab Creamery recently and ordered the double chocolate ice cream with Nutella sauce on a cone. The ice cream was rich, creamy, and full of chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. The Nutella sauce was the perfect addition and made every bite even better.

The staff were friendly, the service was quick, and the ice cream was fresh. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Definitely one of the better ice cream spots I've visited, and I'll be coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommend it if you're craving something sweet!“

“veeryy good service. delicious and fast. reasonable prices.“

“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“

“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.“

“Their chocolate vegan ice cream is delicious !“

“5 generations of my family have been enjoying Tom's. I've tried just about everything on the menu, everything is awesome. staff is so friendly. I do miss your steak sandwiches badly though. I won the $25 voucher for free ice cream and cant wait to indulge in some treats. huge thank you for being the best ice cream in etobicoke“

“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.“

“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 ….“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“We got ice cream from this truck at an event in Toronto and it was honestly so good. The line moved fast, the staff were really nice, and everything tasted fresh. Lots of options for everyone and the truck itself looked super clean. It definitely added a fun vibe to the event. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a great ice cream truck in Toronto.“

“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.“

“Mr. Iceberg ice cream truck is a great choice, especially for events. They’re very organized and make the whole process easy, whether it’s for a party, school event, or gathering. Their pricing is reasonable for the service and quality you get, which makes it a really good option if you’re planning something. They offer a nice variety of ice cream treats, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Mr. Iceberg if you’re looking for a reliable and affordable ice cream truck for events!“

“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“

“To Whom It May Concern,

I met your employee, Sepideh, at the mall shop. She is an attractive lady, and I found her to be very pleasant as well. I do have a “sweet tooth” and a particular fondness for vanilla ice cream. As I recall, there is an ice cream shop adjacent to or near the entrance where there is a Starbucks; however, I would go to the little booth where Sepideh worked instead because it felt more personal, and she would always give healthy tips while serving.

Although I like ice cream, I don’t want to feel like I’m just another number in the queue. Sepideh makes her customers feel appreciated, and that’s what I liked about her service.

I have been a businessman for most of my life and have employed hundreds of people, so I may be a bit biased in recognizing the value of her service from an employer’s perspective.

Best regards,

Raymond Davis“

“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. ♥️🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“When I first saw this place there used to be long queues outside this shop during Covid days. Then I thought that may be I am missing something. Then on one day I went there when it was not so busy. My daughter just loved it...we tried gulab jamin roll ice cream. Not only good taste but it was interesting to see how the rolls were actually made. Saw kids just looking at the process of making these rolls. Rates slightly on the higher side but was worth it!!!“

“The flavours offered at this bakery are uniquely innovative! We got an iron goddess and pistachio cake. It’s a beautiful cake. Although, we were glad to have tried it, we found the tea mousse too bland (not strong or sweet enough) in combination with the salted (and sage?) spiced pistachio. By themselves, the different layers were delicious. Together, I wish the flavours were better balanced and the chiffon replaced by a denser textured base —perhaps a biscuit, cookie or crumb.“

“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!“

“If happiness had a flavor, it would taste like Menchie’s.
From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with bright colors, upbeat energy, and the sweet aroma of freshly swirled frozen yogurt. The atmosphere is fun, welcoming, and perfect for everyone — whether you’re on a family outing, a date night, or just treating yourself after a long day.
The self-serve experience is where Menchie’s truly shines. You’re in complete control: swirl as much (or as little) as you want, mix flavors together, and create your own masterpiece. Classic vanilla? Rich chocolate? Tart original? Seasonal surprises? There’s always something new and exciting to try.
And then… the toppings bar.
It’s not just a toppings bar — it’s a wonderland. Fresh fruit, crunchy cookie crumbles, candy pieces, hot fudge, caramel drizzle, cheesecake bites, sprinkles galore — the possibilities are endless. Every cup becomes a personalized dessert adventure.
What really sets Menchie’s apart is the quality. The yogurt is creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced — never too icy, never overly sweet. You can taste the freshness in every bite. Plus, the variety often includes options for different dietary preferences, so everyone can find something they love.
The staff are friendly, the store is clean, and the vibe is always positive. It’s more than just frozen yogurt — it’s an experience that makes you smile before you even take your first bite.
If you’re looking for a dessert spot that delivers flavor, fun, and feel-good energy all in one cup, Menchie’s is simply unbeatable. 🍦✨“

“New favourite gelato spot in the area. Wide variety of flavours to try. This time, I had a medium (2 flavours) with their Ferrero and yuzu cheesecake flavour. I’ve sampled their other flavours and everything is delicious.

Very delicious and highly recommend paying them a visit!“
