Where To Find Sweet Treats In Toronto

Scoop Shop by Sweet Sammies is the go-to ice cream shop, made in-house with combinations that will make you melt inside faster than the ice cream in your hand. A few of the unique flavours include Canadian maple bacon, cream cheese with roasted coconut and espresso-hazelnut; be adventurous and try something new. Go ahead and add baked goods to your ice cream game: try a macaroon or crownie — a brownie meets cookie made with fudge — and stuff it with ice cream or frozen yogurt. These will have you coming back for another! In the mood for a classic? Try Gimme S’more — toasted marshmallow ice cream and graham crackers dipped in Belgian dark chocolate. Daring? Want to indulge in your childhood favourites? This spot is for you.
