Best Gelato in Oshawa

"23 It just wouldn’t be summer without spending an hour in line for a treat at Bang Bang, Ossington’s perennially popular (but even more so in the warmer months) ice cream shop. The staff stays busy stuffing scoops in flavours like banana pudding, matcha-jasmine-soba and lychee rosewater, between and inside all kinds of cone substitutes: chewy cookies, sticky cinnamon buns, choux pastry puffs and our favourite, Hong Kong egg waffles. The bubbly vessel is just as much fun to eat as it is tasty."

"Just as day drinking at Trinity Bellwoods (ahem, with 9,000 of your closest friends) is a summer tradition that’s best retired for 2020, it might be a good call to skip Bang Bang’s 30-minute-long lineup, too. Instead, consider ordering in from the Ossington ice cream shop. Go the DIY route and get a six-pack of freshly baked cookies and a pint of just-churned ice cream in flavours like burnt toffee, London fog or peanut butter cup, and assemble your own sweet sandwiches."

"Located on Ossington between Queen and Dundas, this tiny shop opened two years ago and has been garnering rave reviews ever since. The Mango Pudding/Warm Coconut Sticky Rice ice cream is a must-try, and beer nerds will be psyched to see a Bellwood’s stout flavour on the menu. The kiddos will fall in love with the Cinnamon Toast flavour and Campfire Marshmallow."

"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 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!"

"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."

"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."

"2 Bloor Street East, Eaton Centre at 220 Yonge Street, Dominion Centre at 66 Wellington Street West. Purdys Chocolatier is one of the most popular Canadian West Coast sweet shops. Starting in 1907, Richard Carmon Purdy found great success selling premium chocolates in British Columbia and Alberta."

"Funnel Cake Express is a popular dessert restaurant in Toronto that specializes in serving theme park and carnival favourite, finger-licking-good funnel cakes. The shareable dessert features a crunchy and chewy donut batter, deep fried into a circular disk. The sweet treat is then topped with soft serve ice cream and a variety of toppings such as strawberries or crushed Oreos."

"19 Don’t wait for the CNE for a funnel cake fix—just head to this dessert shop at Yonge and Wellesley. The Bullet is a tangle of deep-fried dough, dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar and topped with a beautiful blob of sweet strawberries, a swirl of soft-serve and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. And it’s a personal-size treat, so you know what that means: no sharesies."

"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."

Browse through the stacked shelves of Valency in search of the best in quality housewares and entertaining accessories. Wander over to get fitted for a high quality, custom-designed suit at Empire Customs before visiting Jean-Paul Fortin for some shiny leather dress shoes to complement your new smart-looking attire."

"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!"

"When it comes to architecture shots around Toronto, one of the most photographed interior spaces is Brookfield Place. Located in the heart of Toronto’s Financial District, Brookfield Place is an office complex that houses the Hockey Hall of Fame. This is also where you’ll find the Allen Lambert Galleria, a 6-story atrium with soaring ceilings and curved steel arch beams."

"Brookfield Place may look like just another office tower from the outside, but it’s the interior that will really get photographers snap-happy. The building features the gorgeous Allen Lambert Galleria which was designed by famed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, where metal frames arch to evoke the feel of an urban, tree-lined canopy."

"French onion soup on this warm heated patio in Leslieville is a surefire way to ward off that chill that's starting to set into your bones as the leaves fall off the trees. Also, there's always French wine if you're still feeling cold."

"Hemingway’s renowned rooftop patio makes it an iconic patio spot in Toronto. It has a laid-back atmosphere and cozy vibes making it a great place to grab a casual beer after a long day of work (or a long day in the sun). The staff is friendly, the people are down-to-earth, and the food and drinks are no-nonsense kind of creations."

"A post shared by Hemingway’s Bar + Restaurant (@hemingways.to) on Jun 22, 2020 at 10:11am PDT. This Yorkville spot’s patio was — during normal times — always open until 2 am, 365 days a year.
