The Ultimate Guide to Ice Cream + Frozen Treats in Toronto/GTA
🕒 11.5 min read
I scream, you scream… we all just need some damn ice cream right about now.
Despite still needing our winter coats last week, we’ve been blessed with scorching hot summer weather all of a sudden. And after ten weeks indoors, we could really use it. And allll the ice cream while you’re at it.
So I’ve compiled the most comprehensive list of frozen treats from shops and restaurants across Toronto and the GTA available for takeout and/or delivery. I’m talking ice cream, ‘nice’ cream (aka vegan), gelato, fro yo, frozen custard, sherbet, bingsu, milkshakes, paletas, shaved ice, ice pops, and halo halo.
Since summer is brief and lockdown is far from over, we’re going to need ice cream to get through this. A lot of ice cream. So pro tip: keep this lengthy list close at hand.
Note: Stores and restaurants listed below may be open for curbside takeout and/or have their items available online for takeout or delivery via their website or delivery apps. Please contact businesses directly for more information and the best way to place your order.
This list will be updated on the regular. Want to add your business? Submit your information.
