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!“

“Amazing tasting Gelato! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“I tried the seasonal s’mores flavour and one of the peanut flavoured ones and they were both amazing. There is so much detail that goes into the texture and flavour of individual elements mixed into the ice cream that it’s really a tasting experience. They are very pricey tubs but worth it for the quality! There’s a line out the door on weeknights because it’s that good.“

“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 💕“

“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 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.“

“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!!!“

“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!).“

“The best Icecream in town !“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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 ….“

“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!“

“This demetres is Newly opened in the distillery district and is huge to accommodate groups of people and also has couple friendly chairs lol

The place has outdoor seatings too with amazing menu like waffles , crepes, shakes and coffee

The scooped by demetres is right next to it if you just want to gather grab ice cream

The single scoop of icecream here is about $11 with taxes but it’s good in quantity“

“All the noms.“

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

“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“

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

“the staff its great products“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very nice place and cakes“

“I know everybody loves the burnt marshmallow flavour, i did a tasting and i didn't like it as im not a fan of caramel flavour or anything thats overly sweet. I really like subtle or unsusual flavours. My favourite was the strawberry shortcake and dark chocolate gelato. The strawberries in the ice cream was so chewy and soft like jam, it was soo good. And their storemade waffle cone was amazingly soft too! Please make a brownie or cheesecake flavour 🙏“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is the neighborhood ice cream place, no more, no less. My kids and all their friends love it.

Vegetarian options: They have some dairy free options in addition to regular ice cream.

Parking: Limited parking on the streets in the area, but there’s a Green P lot a short block north.

Kid-friendliness: It’s an ice cream shop

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a take out counter on the sidewalk.“

“Delicious ice cream with unique flavours for dipping. The specialty Dubai chocolate inspired cup is incredible with 2x the dip and options to get different ice cream flavours! The amount of strawberries in this was about half the cup of sliced berries - expensive ($15 for this one) but was honestly.a worthwhile treat to share!“

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

“Friendly staffs, amazing service, yummy ice cream 🍦 Like lavender lemonade most!“

“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!“

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