50 Best Ice Cream Shops near York

“Eddy is by far one of the best ice cream truck vendors I have worked with. He has a good spirit and great sense of humour when interacting with customers. Human connection and good vibes have been missing in Toronto after Covid so witnessing Eddy’s interactions with customers in 6 commercial buildings has truly been a treat. Thank you for all that you do Eddy and look forward to working with you for the 3rd year in a row!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!).“

“I think the heritage of just how long this place has been around makes it the staple of poor credit to grab ice cream people like to just hang around. Enjoy the sunshine and their ice cream.
I’m not convinced they have the best ice cream But it’s pretty darn good, and always seems like the right answer on a nice day after being out on the water!“

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

“I love love love their ice cream and whenever I go there every staff member who will be working at that time they treat me so well even though I take time to order especially Krishna who always let me explore toppings and gives me good suggestions as well! Highly recommended!“

“Love love love this place! 5 stars is not enough, seriously! From the cones for the kids for free 5 and under to all the staff your all awesome kind and very genuinely kind. We enjoy going anytime we can the kids call this their spot lol don't wait just go trust me!!!“

“Their chocolate vegan ice cream is delicious !“

“The best Icecream in town !“

“Sarah was perfection. She was well versed in all the flavours and guided my friend and I through every layer of complexity. You can say she scooped us into a world of flavour. 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.“

“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 👏“

“We eat a lot of icecream, and this is the best quality icecream we have tried in the area. Lots of interesting flavors“

“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“

“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 ….“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Nice to have a somewhat local place to go for ice cream in the hood. Decent price for a good amount of yumminess!“

“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.“

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

“After dinner bunch of needed something quick perhaps with less sugar. This was nearby. The location is a bit odd. There is nothing (QSRs) else in this section of the plaza and this was the only store open in this section. The entrance to plaza is also a bit hard to get in specially if you are new.

We ordered a box of 30 with three flavours. One of them vegan. It is really appreciated that there are good decent vegan options. Group wanted to try the new baklava flavour. The individual gave us a couple samples to make sure we wanted that as he said customers comment that is extremely sweet. And he was right, group felt it was way too sweet.

The order took a bit longer and I am guessing they had to redo our order as the flavours got mixed up. The same individual gave us complimentary puffs, we asked him not to add any flavours to make it vegan. And they were delicious as well. Thank you for excellent customer service.

All the flavours just as we liked them. The vegan ones very good - cinnamon sugar.“

“the staff its great products“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We recently had a corporate event at Bosch in Mississauga and had the ice cream truck over. Their service was excellent and dealing with them was seamless. Cherry on top was of course the ice cream itself which was delicious. Highly recommend them.“

“This super sweet corner chocolatier is really really good! I've gotten a pack of their chocolates for a bride-to-be and she loved them.

If you're a chocoholic like me, I highly recommend the dark chocolate vegan gelato and the Nutella. It's a really good combination, but quite honestly I have yet to have a bad flavour from there! Toasted marshmallow and rocky road are great options too.

They're a bit pricey and there's very little seating to enjoy your ice cream/gelato, but it's worth it I promise.“

“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“

“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!“

“Delicious chocolates, great ambiance, every detail has been carefully thought out. The desserts and ice cream look scrumptious, can't wait to go back to try more of everything. They have a cute patio, nicely decorated. And the service was great!“

“Amazing gelato with many unique hand made flavors. They also have tours!“

“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.“

“Kernels Popcorn is actually the best. So much flavours and they are all so delicious. I recommend the Creamy Caramel but literally all the other flavours are tasty. And each bag is worth it because there is so many popcorn in one bag. If you are a popcorn fan or just wanna try something amazing I highly recommend Kernels Popcorn.“

“Cute little Vietnamese dessert shop offering a wide variety of sweet and savory snacks.
They have fresh ice cream, Vietnamese yogurt - which is absolutely delicious and creamy - the black rice one is my absolutely favourite!
A small selection of pastries and street food style snacks as well. This was my first time here and I grabbed a bit of everything.
The girl serving me (pink hair) was so sweet and friendly. Will definitely come back here to stock up on my Vietnamese snack cravings.
Please open one in Markham!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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