50 Best Ice Cream Shops near York

“Eddy from Mr Iceberg came to our street party as a super last minute request when our other ice cream truck cancelled on us. We were so thrilled he was able to help us and serve a very long line of excited kiddos! Very good ice cream selection, flavours and excellent service !!“

“The soft serves are so good I get fomo I don't come here for a week. I love fruit flavored ice cream and bar ape is able to capture the essence of every fruit and their flavors. I have never tasted such creamy and delicious watermelon ice cream. I will be coming back every week until they close in October. They only accept cash!“

“Amazing tasting Gelato! ❤️❤️❤️“

“This place makes one of the most authentic ice creams in Canada. Excellent customer service 💕“

“Honey's Ice Cream on Dundas is completely unmatched. I grabbed a waffle cone while walking down the street and was totally blown away by how insanely rich, smooth, and creamy it was. You would never guess it is 100% plant-based. Easily the best ice cream in Toronto and hands down the best I have ever had anywhere. An absolute must-visit spot.“

“LYCHEE ROSEWATER RASPBERRY & LONDON FOG are my favourite ice creams!“

“A Lakeshore classic! Fantastic selection and some of the best soft serve around. What I love most is how wonderfully this place has been preserved — it still has the same look, feel and charm I remember from 40 years ago. A true local gem.“

“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.“

“If you're looking for the perfect ice cream spot, this is it! 🍦 The flavors are incredibly rich, creamy, and packed with taste, with something for everyone—from classic favorites to unique creations. The staff are warm, friendly, and always happy to help you choose. The shop is spotless, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere. Every visit feels like a treat, and the quality is consistently outstanding. Hands down one of the best ice cream parlours I've ever been to. Highly recommended—I can't wait to come back!“

“It was my first visit to Scooped and I was very glad I went here! We decided to go here after lunch at El Catrin. There are numerous flavors of Ice Cream, but I decided on the Guava Cheesecake. A single scoop in a cup was perfect! They make their ice creams and cones in house. I'd definitely go back here again when I'm visiting the Distillery District in Toronto!“

“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.“

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

“The best Icecream in town !“

“We came across this cute cafe on a walk around Port Credit and had a lovely experience and chat with the owner Shifa (I hope I got that right!). The chocolates are simply out of this world, you can taste the difference and quality and there are so many box sizes to choose from which is really great for gifting. The cake slices looked generous and delcious. The owner was kind enough to give us a taste of some gelato-- we'll be looking forward to visiting this summer for that! Our Americano and tea latte were perfect and the cute latte art panda was a sweet surprise! Highly recommend making this a regular stop during your visit to Port Credit!“

“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!!!“

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

“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“

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

“AMAZING ice cream flavours...my favourite is the Gertie's Peanut Butter Pie. They also make fabulous sandwiches!“

“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.“

“It was a great experience the desert opinion was amazing we are from Florida“

“We booked GTA Softee for our employee appreciation event on July 9–10, and Vani made the whole experience so special! He showed up at 6:30am on the 9th, way ahead of schedule, just to make sure everything was ready for our team. It's rare to come across someone who takes this much pride and joy in what they do — Vani turned a simple ice cream truck visit into a genuine highlight of our week. Our employees are still talking about it!
Thank you, Vani and the GTA Softee team, for going above and beyond. We'll definitely be booking again — and hoping Vani's on the truck! 🍦😊“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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 ….“

“Had a great experience at Mr. Puffs! The puffs were fresh, delicious, and perfectly made. A special thanks to Shishir for the outstanding service—he was friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout our visit. Excellent food and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“the staff its great products“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at Avoca! The chocolate and ice cream were both amazing and everything tasted fresh, rich, and high quality. There were lots of delicious flavors to choose from, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the visit even better. The store was clean and had a cozy atmosphere. If you’re looking for a sweet treat or premium chocolate, I highly recommend Avoca. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is my favourite ice cream shop ever!! way better then
brain freeze it was amazing. amazing flavours amazing toppings it had cookie dough, syrup that was amazing! the flavours were absolutely amazing and delicious! they actually tasted like ice cream not just straight up water like brainfreeze. i totally recommend this 10/10 i will definitely be coming here next time!“

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

“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.“

“This gem of a Cafe is located next door to my house which is lovely bonus. Tesco is an upscale Phillipino Cafe and serves top quality hit and cold beverages as well as sandwiches and crepes and other goodies . I assumed the man behind the counter was the owner, unlike most employees who work the counter in Eateries, Drew appears invested, in my experience there, he is friendly, clean and knowledgeable, always willing to help o customer out, with directions or bus schedules. Always an enjoyable experience. And the price? Not overly cheap. But for high quality food, exllent service , great location, and relaxation, I'm willing to pay a few dollars more. Not always but in this case that old saying holds true. You get what you pay for. So try it out this weekend
And tell Drew Susan says 👋“

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

“As you can see it’s a fun, cute little spot.
The ice cream itself though was delicious! Got the peaches and cream and the taste did not disappoint. It tasted like actual peach not that artificial fruit taste and the ice cream itself was creamy, as expected from an ice cream shop. The price is also pretty on par with other independent ice cream parlours.
My only ‘complaint’ is that it’s a small space but otherwise definitely going again.“

“All the noms.“

“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.“

“Great food and portions but prices are a little high! You can always share though 😁“

“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. ♥️🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦“

“The employees at Ladipri are incredibly friendly, hardworking, and professional. They always greet customers with a smile, provide excellent service, and make everyone feel welcome. Their positive attitude and dedication truly make every visit enjoyable. Highly recommended! Specially Simran and bhawan. ❤“

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

“Phenomenal experience! This local bakery has such a wonderful selection of pastries, which are a little pricey, but great as a treat! They do also have Bang Bang Ice Cream flavours that were delectable & perfect if you don’t want to go to their location (that typically has a pretty long wait). The service was helpful and friendly, along with a reliable team that makes the line go fast! The seating is limited, but the window seats are really great for a small rendezvous. Overall, I’ll definitely be returning to Bakerbots Baking for another treat!“

“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!!!“
