Best Gelato in York

"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."

"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)."

"There is something remarkably brave about opening an ice cream shop in Canada, of all places. Although our snow days are shrinking as the earth heats up, we are not exactly ice cream friendly for much of the year. Bang Bang Ice Cream is working to change that."

"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."

"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)."

"Ed Francis doesn’t care much for Instagram—his small-batch ice creams are all about flavour, not flash. He churns his Ontario cream at a low speed. It takes a little longer, but the result is a denser, more delicious dessert."

"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."

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

"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!"

"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."

"Lab Sense is a futuristic ice cream shop that prepares their ice cream and frozen desserts using liquid nitrogen. Not only is it unique, but they’ve definitely modelled themselves to be an instagram photo app spot. Inside Lab Sense you’ll find a pink flower wall at the front of the shop, and at the back you’ll find a ball pit!"

"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."

"Boasting a multitude of flat screen TVs with surround sound, this spot in the exciting downtown hub of Queen Street West feels more like being in an arena. The food and drink is way better, though."

"It’s one of the comfiest, most laidback comedy clubs in the city, with absolutely no pretensions and a rotating list of comedy nights each month. The only rule is to show up with a willing attitude because once you walk in through the door, anything goes. Quality of improv runs from just-getting-started to genuinely brilliant, so you’ll have a lot of people to teach you."

Founded in 2008, Comedy Bar is one of the outstanding comedy clubs in Toronto who will make you laugh uncontrollably.
