All ice cream bars can be picked up from the shop’s Rosedale, Queen West and Oxford Kitchen HQ locations."

"This French bakery and café has helped to reinvented the Parisian-style bakery experience in Toronto. Modern, chic and downright gorgeous, the café and bakery offers croissants, macrons and some of the most gorgeous and delicious cakes you will ever see. This business is featured in the following Smart Lists:"

"What: This shop makes French-style ice cream and sorbet from scratch using local high-quality dairy and fresh fruit. Mini macarons, one of their most popular toppings, are officially back . Where: 780 Queen St W"

"920 Queen St E, 416-406-2525 // 189 Roncesvalles Ave, 416-531-3113 // 2224 Queen St E,  416-699-6100. Ed’s Real Scoop owner Ed Francis opened his beloved ice cream shop in Toronto in 2000 and today the local brand has grown to include three parlours located in Leslieville, Roncesvalles and The Beaches. Ed describes why his business initially boomed, “It turned out that the year 2000 was about the time that people, especially young people, were becoming interested in quality vs quantity."

"What: This shop is a Toronto institution, selling carefully crafted artisanal gelato since 2000. Ed, the founder, was inspired by his mother’s love for fresh ingredients and his love for Steve’s Ice Cream store from when he lived in Boston in 1971. Where: 2224 Queen St E (The Beach), 920 Queen St E (Leslieville), 189 Roncesvalles Ave (Roncesvalles), 2370 Lake Shore Blvd W (Mimico)"

"Known for its traditional Italian gelato, one of Bar Ape’s most popular menu items are its ice cream bars. Established in 2014, Bar Ape is a cash-only, service-style takeout window. All of the ice cream bars are $5 and flavour options include lemon, chocolate, raspberry, orange creamsicle, coconut and almond, pistachio and hazelnut chocolate."

"Food truck turned bricks-and-mortar shop, Bar Ape has redefined our perceptions of gelato. Bar Ape serves gelato in bar and soft-serve form at its St. Clair West digs. There are always new flavour combinations, which means the menu changes on the regular."

"A post shared by Fugo Desserts (@fugodesserts) on Apr 12, 2019 at 9:11am PDT. Fugo has a signature Cookie Monster cone (that’s two scoops of Cookie Monster ice cream, mini chips ahoy, and an oreo cone) that’s part of every foodie’s feed. But the Insta-worthy ice cream doesn’t stop there."

"This bubble tea shop uses fresh ingredients and handmade tapioca, to make some of the best bubble teas around. The menu is extensive with classic bubble tea options, as well as some unique (sometimes themed!) options."

"7 No other creature has been monopolized in the name of food as often as the unicorn. Edible odes to the mythical beast have included sparkly cakes, lattes, milkshakes and toast. Taiyaki NYC, a Big Apple–based Japanese dessert chain that’s now in T.O., has doubled up on the creature feature by filling a freshly baked fish-shaped waffle cone with a swirl of sprinkle-coated soft-serve, finishing it off with twee ears and an alicorn (yes, that’s the proper name for the spiralled uni-horn) made of fondant."

"7 – Stop in at the Poop Café in Koreatown It is exactly as it sounds – a Poop café. Sit on Toilet shaped seats and enjoy an ice cream sundae in a toilet “bowl.” The ice cream is whipped and dipped in chocolate to resemble the real thing. Once you get past the presentation, enjoy a delicious chocolate sundae in the heart of Toronto’s Korean scene."

"Okay so this one might not be for the faint of heart – this poop-themed café is full of unique ideas, such as serving food in toilet shaped bowls. There are equally cute toilet-bowl and urinal shaped mugs. There are toilets as seats (but with actual seats, don’t worry)."

"Kung Fu Tea is another classic bubble tea favourite in Toronto. This tea shop uses honey to keep the flavours authentic as possible, as well as being a healthier bubble tea option. What’s cool about this spot is that it offers all-natural flavours."

"Nugateau is an all-eclair patisserie known for authentic French baking techniques and high-quality products with no artificial flavourings. Nugateau has a brilliant selection of creative flavours like Roseabelle (Raspberry Rose & Mascarpone Cream, Raspberry Compote, White Chocolate Glaze, Dried Raspberry and rose petals, Candied Almonds) and Belleviolette (Cassis cremeux,Violet glaze, Fresh Blackberry) meaning their eclairs are guaranteed to delight."

"A post shared by Nügateau Patisserie (@nugateau) on Mar 5, 2020 at 10:15am PST. While this french pastry shop is mostly dedicated to eclairs, cakes are to be found on the menu, and they’re made with just as much care as the tinier offerings. Made with no artificial flavourings, each of these works of art is decorated so elaborately that you almost won’t want to eat it."

"After a period of celebrating the jack-of-all-trades, it is nice to see some specialization in the dessert world. Nugateau is a bakery that uses French baking techniques to result in fantastic eclairs, and only eclairs. This doesn't mean that creativity is out of the window."

"A post shared by Hand & Stone Canada (@handandstonecanada) on Nov 21, 2019 at 12:20pm PST. Looking for a hot stone massage?. This is one of the best Toronto spas for exactly that."

"You might not know it, but Toronto is home to lots of beaches, offering the perfect escape from the busy city on a hot day. Among its most visited spots are Sunnyside, Woodbine, Cherry and Kew beaches, all of which are easy to access and have lifeguards on duty throughout the summer. Bluffer’s Beach – a long, sandy stretch at the foot of the Scarborough Bluffs – has great views as well as hiking trails, bike paths and picnic areas."

"CRAFT Beer Market is one of the best places in Toronto to grab a pint, but since we can’t really go out and do that right now, the next best thing is to order some takeout or delivery. If you’re into classic game day and bar eats, CRAFT’s game day combos are perfect for you. It’s all pizza, nachos, and wings galore!"

"Heaters placed above a spacious seating area send ambient warmth beating down over a large garden at this Financial District bar where you can embrace fall Oktoberfest vibes with a flight of beers."
