Best Dessert in Oshawa

"Find it: Yorkdale Mall at 3401 Dufferin Street, The PATH Richmond Adelaide Centre Food Court at 121 Adelaide Street West, 1099 Yonge St, and 780 Queen Street West; @nadegetoronto; nadege-patisserie.com. The lowdown: If you can’t get to Paris to satisfy your macaron craving, get thee to Nadège. The legendarily pretty confections at this bright, contemporary bakery are arguably the best in the city."

"The clean modern design of Nadège along with the cafe’s sumptuous cakes, macarons, chocolates, biscuits, marshmallows, pastries and sandwiches have made it must-see-and-taste attraction for locals and visitors alike. If you’re looking for the best macarons in Toronto look no further than Nadège."

"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"

"If you’re looking for a good ice cream to try, then Ed’s has to be on your list. Ed is an actual guy who started it all at the Beaches location back in 2000. Since then, Toronto has been blessed with four Ed’s locations serving up small-batch, homemade ice cream that is done on site and with the purest of ingredients."

"It’s your birthday — why choose between ice cream or cake when you can have both?. Ed’s Real Scoop creates made-to-order ice-cream cakes featuring one or more of its 150 ice-cream flavours (contact to find out what’s available now). Cakes are handmade in-store and covered in real whipped cream with a custom message."

"They’ve been serving up handmade, premium ice cream in Toronto since 2000. The flagship location in the Beaches is my personal fave, but you’ll also find them in Leslieville, Roncesvalles and Mimico!. Trust me, this is small-batch ice cream and gelato worth trekking to (and waiting in line for)."

"Chocolate raspberry is my personal favourite, but I’ve yet to meet a gelato bar I don’t like from Bar Ape. I still remember spotting their little blue truck at Trinity Bellwoods back in 2014. I fell in love immediately — really, one bite and I was HOOKED."

"Fugo Desserts is a tiny dessert shop located on Dundas Street West near University Avenue. The popular sweet shop specializes in serving creative ice cream cones, gourmet mini donuts and specialty coffee and tea. Fugo owners Jethro Kwan and Jie Dai offer playful Asian-inspired ice cream that is both scoopable and soft serve."

"The Lodge is one of the best bear bars in Toronto – ie if you wanna just hang out but don't fancy being tied up in a swing and/or peed/spat on etc(!) then this is the ideal alternative to the Black Eagle. The Lodge is the upstairs bar to the O'Grady's Restaurant – another gay gem on the Church Street gay scene. Friday is the best night to come here when they have one of the best Bear parties in the city."

"Specializing in soft serve ice cream smothered in toppings like cookie crumbs, sprinkles and nuts, La Diperie, which has three locations in the city (Queen St., Bay St., and the Danforth) also sells a handful of creative ice cream bars. Some of these include a cheesecake Oreo dip pressed with Smarties, and a chocolate dipped bar coated in coconut flakes. La Diperie also sells four vegan-friendly ice cream bars in vanilla, chocolate, mango and raspberry flavours."

"717 Bay St, 1-877-599-4438 // 372 Danforth Ave, 416-901-7130 // 3264 Yonge St, 647-461-8542. La Diperie is a playful ice cream parlour concept from Montreal. In Toronto, La Diperie now has three ice cream shops located on Bay Street, Danforth Avenue and Yonge Street."

"This Montreal import has made a frosty business from giving soft-serve seekers almost too many choices. In store they have 30 dips in funky flavours like lemonade and pistachio. Their toppings game is strong, too."

"Opened to the public in 1969, this is where science comes to life in a fun and interactive setting. Discover everything from science and nature to geology and human anatomy via more than 500 hands-on experiences in eight exhibit halls. There are also live daily science demonstrations popular with school groups, a state-of-the-art planetarium, replica rainforest, the KidSpark discovery area designed just for kids eight and under, and Ontario’s only IMAX Dome theatre."

"Located to the northeast of the city along the Don Valley Parkway in North York, the Science Centre is known for the featured exhibits, interactive science displays, and an IMAX theatre. They even have a rainforest area which is climate controlled to help grow different plants to discuss ecology. All in all, the Science Centre is a great way to kill a few hours or entertain the kids if you want more ideas!"

"Located in Flemingdon Park, this museum is the stuff childhood memories are made of. Most of us will remember a field trip here at one point or another, if you went to school in Toronto, but it also hosts a plethora of cool exhibitions that make it worth visiting well into adulthood. Plus it’s home to Ontario’s first IMAX dome."

"By far the cutest macarons in the city, this small patisserie in Kensington Market should not be missed for fans of the traditionally French dessert. In a variety of adorable shapes, these macarons delight the eyes as much as they delight the tongue. All of the shapes take inspiration from the animal kingdom (panda, corgi, etc…) or pop culture (the limited edition Toronto Raptors macaron) and anime (No-Face from Spirited Away, Tiger from Winnie the Pooh, and Doraemon, etc…)."

"Daan Go is the brainchild of Christopher Siu, who was on season 2 of Masterchef Canada Season 2!. They’re famous for their adorable character macarons, but they also have beautiful cakes and other pastries. They have 1 downtown location in Kensington Market and 2 locations in Scarborough."

"Speaking of bread-like desserts, there’s also this gorgeous spot to check out. You can order handcrafted strudels right to your door all season long. The sweet and flakey dessert is perfect as a gift or for treating yourself."

"Hear me out: maid cafés we a concept introduced to Toronto from Japan, and they are the type of café where servers don black and white frilly maid outfits, and greet you with an enthusiastic “irrashaimase,” a greeting meaning welcome. Three days a week, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, the servers also double up as performers, singing and dancing to Japanese pop songs. The café offers in-house drinks and desserts, including the Angel Hat cheesecakes that the original storefront nearby sells too, as well as items like matcha lattes and puddings."
