This is my favourite ice cream shop and I am definitely a connoisseur. They make their ice cream every day from scratch and have lots of different flavours like "London Fog". Their ice cream sandwiches are always AMAZING. Be warned that lineups on sunny days can be up to 45 minutes long for the way. HOWEVER, this is prime location for exploring. Ossington St. has great restaurants and lots to see. Many consider it the new Kensington Market. Also its right beside Trinity Bellwoods (a park that is always busy and exciting).

I grew up going here on Saturday mornings and this place will always have a special place in my heart. you can find the best meals and anything your heart desires here. There's always also a clothing section in St. Lawrence Market that has fun hats. It's all indoors too so great all weather. If you're around for it in August the busker fest is a must!
