"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."

"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."

"This network of frozen treat shops has a variety of mouth-watering icy desserts, but if you’re looking for gelato, try the Pistachio gelato or Tanzanian Dark Chocolate currently on their delivery list."

"For some of the best Italian gelato in the city, Bar Ape (pronounced ah-pay) is a no-brainer. An ape is a three-wheeled motorcycle and the founders got their start selling their fresh-made gelato by driving one around the city. From their small-batch gelato bars, soft serve, traditional gelato cups and to-go sundaes, you know you’ll always get the finest quality here alongside new creative flavours."

"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."

"The tiny ice cream shop opened in 2016 after serving cups of creative soft serve via a food truck for two years. Owners James Carnevale and Nick Genova explain the name, “It’s based off of our original idea and starting point, outfitting a Piaggio Ape to sell gelato out of. It was a small mobile gelato bar that sold gelato bars."

"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 Hong Kong street food classic has become one of the city’s latest craze—Golden Waffles.

Whatever you decide, you can’t go wrong."

"Yorkville’s best scoops can be found at Summer’s Ice Cream, a subterranean space on Yorkville Avenue. Owners Ron and Lianne Tokey manage the popular ice cream parlour, which now offers its creative flavours in tubs at grocery stories. Ron describes the story behind the name, “it was inspired by Helka’s brother Shukry Regepovich who started an ice cream store called Sweet Memories in Victoria, British Columbia."

"What: This ice cream shop was founded by Len and Helka Tokey in 1984, inspired by Helka’s family homemade ice cream business in Czechoslovakia. It had been in her family since the late 1930s and she decided to bring that small-town charm to their shop in Yorkville. Where: 101 Yorkville Ave"

"A post shared by Summer's Ice Cream (@summersicecream) on Apr 4, 2019 at 7:47am PDT. (Yorkville)summersicecream.com. Everything's made in house (daily in small batches) at this Yorkville staple that's been going strong since 1985."

"LeTAO on College Street is a Japanese ice cream concept now available in Canada. Established in Japan over 20 years ago, the Toronto flagship store is the first location outside of Asia, opening in late May 2019. LeTAO’s name is based on the first letters of the French phrase “La Tour Amitie Otaru” meaning “The Amiable Tower of Otaru.” It was meant to be a beacon of hope during the depression and meant to show pride for the city."

"This hidden treasure on Brimley Road might be one of the best insights into how early settlers lived when they arrived in Scarborough, before it became on the biggest suburbs in the 20th century. Set off a series of trails and greenery of the Thomson Memorial Park, this series of four buildings is especially beautiful in the summertime."

"As you stroll around the village, each of the restored buildings offers a different slice of life. Follow in the footsteps of the Stong family as they build their modest first home, set up a piggery, smokehouse and butchery, build a grain barn, and eventually move into a bigger second home, showing signs of prosperity after years of homesteading. Actors bring these characters of the past back to life through reenactments and discovery stations where your kids can get some hands-on experiences."

"Just north of Toronto, Black Creek Pioneer Village is a dynamic, open-air, historical experience for visitors of all ages. Especially fun for children, the site recreates village life in 1860s Ontario, offering theatrical re-enactments, artisan demonstrations and historical interpreters in full regalia. Encounter a range of 19th-century artefacts as you step inside heritage buildings including a general store, a church, a water-powered gristmill and a one-room schoolhouse."

"A tribute to the Toronto area's pioneering roots, take a trip back in time to 1860 and see what life was like."

"Taking your kids to the historic home of one of Toronto's first architects may seem laughable. Have we met your children?. Gazing at watercolours is hardly a hobby of theirs."

"Evviva is a veg-friendly breakfast and lunch restaurant in Toronto and Vaughan. They have a massive vegan brunch menu where you can create your own vegan omelette, vegan breakfast sandwiches, waffles, French toast, and even a “vegan slam platter” with eggs, bacon, sausage and toast."
