Best Gelato in Vaughan

"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!"

"You’ll likely have to wait in a line out the door to get a taste of Bang Bang Ice Cream – but it will certainly be worth it. The sweet shop is home to the original Toronto ice cream sandwich, often featuring standout flavors such as burnt toffee, orange cardamom and halva. It also offers vegan and dairy-free options so that everyone can leave feeling a little bit sweeter."

"Bang Bang is perfect for satisfying an ice cream sandwich craving. There are countless combinations of flavors from cookie type, including Birthday, Oatmeal and RoCocoa, and ice cream flavors, including Orange Cardamom, Lemon Meringue, London Fog and Burnt Toffee. Try a full sandwich with two cookies for $7 or a half sandwich with one cookie for $4.50."

"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."

"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)."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"Incredibly talented, extremely generous and one of the most hard working mamas in the industry. I met her the first week she opened her shop on Queen West and have been a devout customer ever since. Even more so when she opened up her ice cream shop which serves up French-style ice cream and sorbet!"

"Kekou is one of the best and most popular gelato spots in Toronto, and you can find it on Queen West. Their menu is made up of mostly Asian flavours like Black Sesame and Thai Iced Tea, and the flavours rotate by the seasons!. I pretty much always stick to either the Hong Kong Milk Tea or Vietnamese Coffee flavours, but they have plenty of amazing flavours to choose from."

"Made from bubble tea and simple ingredients, Kekou’s gelato bars are a seasonal feature and come in a variety of Asian-inspired flavours. These refreshing treats can be ordered in: mango coconut, guava coconut, strawberry guava, coconut or strawberry mango. There are also three non-vegan bars, including matcha red bean, red bean and chai tea."

"Since 1969, this family-run operation has refused to cut corners. Tom’s uses real cream instead of dehydrated milk, so their soft serve is ultra-creamy (unlike the watery truck stuff). It’s that rich cream that gives the soft serve its added heft, which allows Tom’s to pull gravity-defying cones."

"Tom’s has been around since 1969 and it’s the kind of spot that makes me feel like I’ve gone back in time. I truly hope they never change. Their banana splits and fun cones (like the Cookie Monster) are the big draws."

"Neighbouring Mackenzie Glen Public School is a vast green space that covers a portion of the Bartley Smith Greenway. This is a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure area. You can keep things easy by walking around the park itself which on its own is scenic especially with the view of the pond."

"It is somehow is super relaxing and quiet while also being in the middle of a bustling waterfront. Sugar Beach has white sand and cute pink beach umbrellas with white wooden chairs that are very instagrammable. However, seating is limited so you might want to bring your own towel to lie on just in case!"

"Enjoy the pink umbrellas in all their cuteness at Sugar Beach. It’s definitely prettier (and warmer lolz) during the spring and summer, but you can come here all year-round if you want to. It would even be cute in the snow and make for some unique shots, if you’re looking for Toronto winter photo spots!"

"Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, you can’t swim at Sugar Beach, but it’s a great spot to spend the day relaxing outside. With pink umbrellas and white wooden chairs, Sugar Beach has a whole vibe that simply screams summertime!"

"One of the favorites amongst locals in Toronto, Buddha’s Vegetarian Foods is one of the best Chinese vegetarian restaurants in Toronto. Serving some of the amazing mock meats, this jewel of a restaurant is a crowd-pleaser in every sense possible. Sitting in the Kensington Market, this restaurant never fails to impress even the meat lovers with their crispy ginger veggie beef, veggies on crispy noodles, mock duck, soya steak, and more."

"As one of Toronto’s first Asian-style vegan restaurants, Buddha Vegan has been a top spot in the city for awhile. They’re known for their delicious and healthy plant-based eats, covering menu items from soups to fried rice and noodles to everything in between. A meal from here is sure to satisfy your every craving!"

"Come down to Buddha’s Vegetarian Restaurant to savour some Hong Kong style vegan and vegetarian food. This place has been serving up regional specialities like imitation duck since 1991, and they’re every bit as satisfying and delicious as the meat-filled counterparts. 666 Dundas St W | website"

"This Vietnamese food joint is among the most popular and visited South Asian restaurants in Toronto. The best part of this compact food joint is that a live kitchen is attached where foodies can explore the first and last of a dish being made, and foodies can have authentic Vietnamese cuisine tasted. One can wine and dine here, courtesy to a bar attached to them."

"With a Leslieville and Riverdale location, you’ll only find a patio at the tranquil and hidden Queen Street locale. If your family enjoys phở, banh cuon and bun cha, this Vietnamese restaurant featuring dishes from the North will please your taste buds. If it’s your first time, you can’t go wrong ordering the house Pho."

"Sitting in Chinatown, Asian Legend is one Chinese restaurant in Toronto, Canada, that is surely capable of teleporting one to the Republic of China just by the flavors and tastes that they offer. From chicken and duck to greens and an extensive variety of noodles, the Asian Legend has plenty to offer. Apart from plated dishes, Asian Legend also gives travelers and locals an opportunity to fill up their bags with microwave-ready meals, making sure that one doesn’t miss out on something extremely delectable by virtue of time crunch."

"The Princess of Wales Theatre is the newest addition to the Mirvish family of theatres in Toronto’s entertainment district. It is a 2000-seat playhouse located only a block away from the historic Royal Alexandra Theatre. The theatre is the first privately owned Canadian theatre to open since 1907."

"Live entertainment is one of the best parts of coming to Canada. Princess of Wales Theatre hasn’t been around for even thirty years, but it’s definitely one of the city’s best theaters. You can see stellar plays in one of the most beautifully designed theaters in Canada."

"The Royal Alexandra Theatre—or the Royal Alex, as it’s known—is a pretty spiffy affair. The newly restored 1907 Beaux-Arts triumph is, in fact, North America’s first properly royal theater. It gained its title thanks..."
