Best Gelato in Markham

"A post shared by COTG // Food•Travel•Girlpower (@chicagoonthego) on Apr 6, 2019 at 1:34pm PDT. Bang Bang has some unreal flavours — ranging from Soybean Walnut to Avocado. When paired with their egg waffle cones, it becomes a must-share for you to post on your Instagram feed."

"Nestled on Ossington Ave, Bang Bang is most definitely the best restaurant in Toronto for ice-cream sandwiches. Having much more of a cafe and takeout vibe, Bang Bang is the type of place you grab something and go. Honestly, run to this places, it’s amazing!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Came here for their tropical mango+pineapple soft serve, personally I didn't like the texture. It was airy, kinda fluffy like whipped."

"If you’re talking about the trendiest ice cream shops in Toronto, iHalo Krunch most certainly finds itself at the top of the list. The eye-catching design of this neon glowing Queen West ice cream parlour had a line snaking out its doors ever since it first opened. iHalo Krunch launched just as the activated charcoal craze hit the food world."

"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."

"Lickadee Splitis the ideal spot to take the little ones for ice cream, as it boasts a kid-friendly atmosphere. It is located in Olde East York Village and has rows of outdoor seating, with adult chairs on one side and colorful kiddie plastic chairs on the other. The decor adds to the fun vibe of the shop, with ice cream cutouts on the window and a chalkboard wall."

"Machino Donuts is a vegan donut shop in Toronto open from Friday to Sunday. Their donuts look so delectable and come in an assortment of amazing flavors. It’s also possible to order letter donuts so you can spell out people’s names or words in donuts."

"A post shared by MACHINO DONUTS Vegan・Handmade (@machinodonuts). Another plant-based pick on today’s list has got to be the delicious vegan donuts available at Machino Donuts. These scrumptious creations are full of flavour."

"This small-batch ice cream shop consistently sells out of their delicious handmade flavours that include pandan, banoffee pie, oolong, ribena and mango. Just make sure you get there early enough in the day to get your hands on one of the scoops or pints."

"I’ve been going to Demetres for desserts for as long as I can remember. Before the York Region food scene was poppin’, Demetres was the go-to dessert spot in Richmond Hill. The Demetres in Downtown Markham is a newer location, and the space is absolutely gorgeous."

"4 – Enjoy a mammoth sundae at Caffe Demetre Do you love desserts or have a sweet tooth now and then?. If so, than head on over to Demetre’s for a much-deserved indulgence. Enjoy mammoth sundaes, cakes ala mode, and homemade crepes made to perfection."

"The name SuKoi was inspired by the Japanese term “Sugoi,” which means “amazing.” This taiyaki shop on Queen Street West turns a fish waffle into an ice cream cone and lets you fill it to the brim with one of the many flavours. Whether it’s Thai tea, Not-So-Basic Pumpkin Spice, or Matcha, you’ll be satisfied. Address: 760 Queen Street West, TorontoPhone: 647-351-8801"

"SuKoi Desserts first opened in August, 2018 in Toronto’s trendy Queen Street West neighbourhood. Owner Yvonne Wang describes her inspiration, “I was inspired by the Japanese Taiyaki treat, which normally is represented by a fish. I mixed the Japanese word sugoi, meaning amazing/awesome with koi fish to get Sukoi Desserts."

"13 The Liège-style Belgian sugar waffles from this market stand are addictive enough to eat on their own. Hot and fresh from the griddle press, the puffy squares are tender on the outside and irresistibly chewy on the inside. But you’d be a fool not to gild this lily with market-fresh fruit, whipped cream and a glug of Ontario maple syrup."

"Decommissioned bus terminal turned east-end classic, established 1948. Tim Dutaud, owner: There’s a story behind these booths. Orphan Black filmed here, and I guess they didn’t like the original colour of the booths, so they brought the green ones in."

"Located in North York, Shops at Don Mills is more of a lifestyle centre than a typical mall. It comprises 72 retail stores over more than 500,000 square feet. Attracting upscale shoppers, its most popular stores include Anthropologie, Oak & Fort, Michael Kors, and well-known food stores and restaurants, such as McEwan’s Gourmet Market and Joey’s."

"Hillcrest Mall has definitely got an upgrade since I lived in Richmond Hill, and I so wish it was this nice when I was back in high school!"
