It’s spring, so it’s time to welcome it with a gigantic cone of goodness. We’ve got the scoop on where to get great licks around town.
Ed’s Real Scoop
Handmade and quality ingredients are what sets Ed’s Real Scoop apart from many other ice cream shops. Original flavours like toasted marshmallow and lemon meringue keep kids and adults coming back for more. Expect a line up on hot summer days, but it is worth the wait.

Dutch Dream
Reputed to be Drake’s Favourite ice cream spot, the kitschy Dutch Dream is also a bit of an institution now at a newish location. Their cones and cups are laden with goodies for an extreme ice cream experience. Berries, cotton candy, chocolate and nut dipped waffle cones and 60 creamy flavours.

Greg’s Ice Cream
Located in the heart of the city, Greg’s Ice Cream has been making people happy with their all-natural ice cream for over 30 years.

Sweet Jesus
Taking instagrammable ice cream to a whole new level, this outrageously over-the-top ice cream shop is a must-go, at least once anyway! Think cotton candy, marshmallows, chocolate crunch toppings in a rainbow of hues, textures and tastes. Don’t forget to snap a pic.
