Best Gelato in Pickering

"The freshly baked cookies, puffs, Big Bang cones stuffed with mouthwatering flavours will have you going back time and time again. Their avocado, London Fog and burnt toffee flaves are my recos, but I truly haven’t had a subpar scoop here. View this post on Instagram"

"What: This shop is a Toronto institution, selling carefully crafted artisanal gelato since 2000. Ed, the founder, was inspired by his mother’s love for fresh ingredients and his love for Steve’s Ice Cream store from when he lived in Boston in 1971. Where: 2224 Queen St E (The Beach), 920 Queen St E (Leslieville), 189 Roncesvalles Ave (Roncesvalles), 2370 Lake Shore Blvd W (Mimico)"

"You’ve probably heard of Ed’s Real Scoop before – they’re one of the best ice cream spots in Toronto!. They also serve up amazing gelato, including classic flavours like Espresso or more fun flavours like Red Hot Chile Chocolate or Green Apple. You can find them in The Beaches, Leslieville, Roncesvalles, and Mimico."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Another epic ice cream spot in Toronto is Fugo Desserts, which you’ll find near Dundas and University. Not only are their desserts absolutely delicious – they’re super Instagram-worthy as well!. They also have cute and Instagrammable mini donuts if you’re craving pastries instead!"

"A post shared by ihalo krunch (@ihalokrunch) on Sep 20, 2018 at 8:24am PDT. Famous for their Ube Nut ice cream (a twist of ube and coconut charcoal soft serve), iHalo Krunch pops all over Instagram with their purple and black ice cream swirl. Their cones are made fresh daily and have a natural black colour thanks to the addition of activated charcoal."

"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."

"7 No other creature has been monopolized in the name of food as often as the unicorn. Edible odes to the mythical beast have included sparkly cakes, lattes, milkshakes and toast. Taiyaki NYC, a Big Apple–based Japanese dessert chain that’s now in T.O., has doubled up on the creature feature by filling a freshly baked fish-shaped waffle cone with a swirl of sprinkle-coated soft-serve, finishing it off with twee ears and an alicorn (yes, that’s the proper name for the spiralled uni-horn) made of fondant."

"Located right at the corner of Queen West and Kingston Road, Brett’s has become a staple of east-end dwellers since 2017. Now, we honestly haven’t been but Eric’s sister goes semi-frequently and loves Brett’s. They have 16 flavours on at any given time but boast over 30 in total – and they do handcrafted ice cream that also comes in vegan, dairy, or gluten-free versions!"

"Brett’s Ice Cream is a popular Toronto parlour in the summer as it’s located a stones throw from Woodbine Beach. Located in The Beaches neighbourhood, Brett’s Ice Cream offers 30 flavours, 16 at a time, with a new feature flavour every week. Skip inside the East End parlour and you’ll find a feminine aesthetic featuring white washed brick walls and a bright pink menu."

"Fun, colourful waffle cones from The Konery and handcrafted Belly ice cream await at Brett’s. Basically a match made in heaven…. The ice cream at Brett’s is velvety smooth and incredibly fresh; the chocolate dipped strawberry flavour literally tastes like the strawberries were just picked from a field."

"Simple is key at Punto Gelato, so much so that it’s in the name!. Focusing on traditional flavours and all-natural ingredients, the gelato is a winner at this Yorkville shop, offered up in cups or cones. More from Jennifer D'Agostino"

"Choose from a half container (500 grams) and a full bin (1 kg) of classic or specialty flavours, including Hazelnut, Tiramisù, and Stracciatella delivered right to your door."

"A luxury spa along University Avenue, located within the Shangri-la hotel, the Miraj Hammam spa is only one of the many reasons why the hotel is a solid 5-star extravaganza. @beckermanblogembedded via. A traditional Middle Eastern Hammam with an additional relaxing influence from the capital city of France, the treatments found here are different than the other modern spas you’ll find in the city."

"This standalone spa facility inside Toronto's luxurious Shangri-La Hotel offers a traditional hammam that promises to "cleanse your body while stimulating your senses and imagination." Detoxify to the max by getting a full body scrub with eucalyptus infused black Moroccan soap while you lie back on Jerusalem gold marble."

"This relaxing spot is beautifully designed with influence from Paris, Marrakech and Istanbul. Their treatments are inspired by the rituals of the Middle East and include things like Hammam & Gommage (a steam and body exfoliation), a clay body masque, and a Turkish bath ritual. Where: 188 University Ave"

"I’m going to assume that Spa My Blend is code for something that regular spa-goers may be familiar with, but to me, it just seems like a cool catchphrase that I’ll just pretend to understand (smile and wave boys, just smile and wave). Located in the Ritz-Carlton hotel, that super fancy schmancy building near the TIFF Bell Lightbox on King Street, Spa My Blend offers luxurious treatments for any and every guest who arrives. @mynn.vuembedded via"

"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."

"Best Croissants In Toronto For: Authentic, classic French pastries. Technically, pain perdu translates to “lost bread” in reference to how French toast saves stale bread from being “lost.” However, in this context, Pain Perdu is a bakery known for purveying glorious, classic French confections. This quaint St. Clair West spot is lauded by locals as a hidden gem to find the best croissants in Toronto with a rich buttery flavour and flaky texture."

"Pain Perdu is renowned for its Parisian baked goods like croissants, quiche, eclairs and mille-feuille. Located in the St. Clair West neighbourhood, the décor is quaint and the staff is on point. This combination makes Pain Perdu a must-try for anyone who wants to pretend they’re in Paris for an afternoon."
