Best Gelato in Ajax

"A hot day staple on Ossington, Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery offers customers excellent ice cream sandwiches. Whether you prefer your ice cream inside a sammie, a choux, or a bubble-waffle cone, you won’t be disappointed at this small-but-mighty shop that has both gluten free and vegan options for those interested. Even though this sweet spot “officially” closes at 10:00 p.m., don’t be surprised to find it still serving customers well past closing during the summer months!"

"Toronto’s most famous ice cream sandwich can be found at Bang Bang on Ossington Avenue. The now iconic ice cream sandwich shop in Toronto opened its doors in 2014. Local foodies quickly caught wind and queues begun snaking down the street at the first whiff of warm weather (and during cooler temps too, if we’re honest)."

"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)."

"Bar Ape’s unique gelato flavours change by the week, which they usually announce on Instagram. Some of their recent flavours include Ontario Peach and Roasted Green Tea Caramel, and they occasionally have vegan gelato flavours as well. Enjoy their gelato soft serve-style, or try one of their ice cream bars."

"Bar Ape is a taste of Italy packed into a 40-square-foot food truck. Bar Ape puts a spin on traditional handmade gelato by serving it in the form of chocolate-dipped bars. Bar Ape is the place to go for a unique take on gelato, offered in popular flavors like 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."

"iHalo Krunch has such aesthetically pleasing ice cream, you’ll want to capture the moment before you eat it. Ube All The Way is one of their most popular flavours, served in one of their signature black cones, coloured with activated charcoal which comes from coconut husk. On its own or mixed with the Black on Black coconut soft serve, you’re in for a treat."

"The charcoal soft serve and cones at iHalo Krunch are probably one of the most unique and Instagram-worthy dessert finds you’ll get in Toronto. The charcoal soft serve is coconut flavoured, and they also have ube, matcha, and vanilla soft serve available to swirl with your charcoal cone. I also love that they have limited edition flavours every now and then!"

"When they first launched the lineups often felt endless, but things have since quieted down. Fortunately, their cones are just as delish and insta-worthy as ever so definitely give them a try!. Ube All The Way (sweet purple yam) with Black on Black (coconut and activated charcoal) is my fave twist."

"This ice cream parlour and cafe serve up decked-out ice cream cups and cones alongside caffeinated beverages. They're known for their decked-out bubble waffles that come with extravagant toppings like sour keys, toasted marshmallows and googly eyes. They also have boozy options."

"HCafe is a Japanese bakery serving up freshly-baked, traditional Japanese cheesecakes. It’s one of my family’s favourite dessert places in Markham – we love the taro Japanese cheesecake!. Their Markham location is located in Main Street Unionville neighbourhood, which is also one of the cutest and most Instagram-worthy spots in York Region 😉"

"Futura Granita + Gelato first opened in September, 2019 on St. Clair Avenue West and is owned by Lois Kim and Carlo Diano. Diano explains the Toronto gelato shops unique name, “Lois’ background is in graphic design, and Futura is a famous typeface. In addition, Futura is a song by an Italian singer/songwriter named Lucio Dalla who is from Bologna, where we learned the craft of gelato and granita-making."

"I just love ice cream too much to not add one more Instagram-worthy ice cream spot on here. Dutch Dreams is an ice cream spot you’ll find in midtown Toronto, and their flavours are completely kosher-friendly. They serve up jazzed up ice cream cones that you can customize from the waffle cone to the toppings, and they’re totally worthy of being on your Instagram feed."

"What: One of the most popular ice cream shops in Toronto, this place is a family business. The Aben family opened it in the 1980s and their menu features Dutch recipes passed down for generations. The Dutch ice cream tradition is to start every recipe with fresh cream."

"A post shared by bloomer’s (@bloomersto) on Mar 30, 2020 at 2:42pm PDT. Get Bloomer’s fun handcrafted vegan donuts and treats delivered right to your door. They launched a new Strawberry Shortcake donut for Valentines Day that is glazed in strawberry, has a dollop of cream and some oat crumble to top it off."

"At Bloomer’s, you can enjoy handcrafted donuts in flavours of all kinds. These delicious treats are perfect for celebrating any special occasion. Or enjoy them just because!"

"I don't use the word 'foodgasm' in my reviews but that's the experience I had when I ate their rose pistachio donut."

"Every made-from-scratch donut at VON Doughnuts has jam, filling, custard or icing. House favorites include the sangria, peanut butter jelly time and caramel salt ‘n’ pepa. Get them while they’re hot because they usually sell out long before 6pm."

"Location: 713 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON M4J 1L2Hours: Closed on Mondays. Tuesday-Saturday open between 10 am and 6 pm.Price: 1/2 dozen for $17.10, full dozen for $29.95. Specialty donuts are slightly more expensive as are the kabobs."

"Covered in graffiti, the gritty storefront of Seoul Shakers still bares evidence of the space’s previous tenant, Holy Oak Cafe. The seemingly abandoned facade makes stepping into the dim, neon-lit bar all the more exciting. Wood-panelled and draped in foliage, the room looks like someone’s grandfather discovered Instagram, and perfectly harnessed his kitschy-chic aesthetic."

"People curious to see what Bloordale cafe Holy Oak has turned into are packing this place that’s now an eccentrically decorated Asian snack bar."

"Grabbing a meal for take-out doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice nutrition. Many restaurants and fresh food markets in Toronto understand the importance of a nutritious meal to time-deprived urbanites, and have made it their mission to provide Toronto with quick and healthy take-out meals. Grab a menu and make your choice – here are the best healthy take-out spots in Toronto."
