I Ranked The 3 Best Ice Cream Spots In Toronto

Narcity Canada

Ice cream is the best solution to any hot day - not only does it help cool you down, but it's also delicious. Luckily, Toronto is filled with spots to grab the cool dessert and they are spread out around the city. But which places are actually worth the lineup? Narcity's Mira Nabulsi checked out Nani's Gelato, Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery and Mizzica Gelateria & Cafe to find out which spot is tops in the 6ix and one of them definitely has her going back for more.

00:00i literally don't know what to do because it's all over my hand oh god oh my god it's so sticky

00:09hey toronto i'm mira nebossi for nursery canada and today i'm checking out three ice cream spots

00:14that you say are the best i'm going to tell you which one is actually worth standing in line for

00:20come with me and let's check them out first on the list is nanny's gelato located on charles

00:26and young street this local spot has a rotating ice cream menu that changes every two weeks

00:32when i went they had flavors like red cherry salted caramel and pistachio you can also buy ice cream in

00:38pints but i got a scoop with two of their most popular flavors salted dark chocolate chip and

00:45brown butter pecan this is okay it's melting at an unprecedented rate and i literally don't know

00:55what to do because it's all over my hand even though it tasted great the experience was an

01:01absolute disaster the ice cream was melting all over the place and the one tissue i was given

01:06dissolved into oblivion things got so messy the ice cream was turning into soup and i couldn't get a

01:12taste of each flavor because they made a completely new one but the cone was delicious crunchy and sweet

01:19at the same time i just wish i had more time to eat it and somewhere to eat it out there was nowhere to

01:24sit outside the gelato shop which made the experience a lot shorter than i hoped it would

01:29be and it would have been great to sit outside to take a handle of the ice cream i paid eight

01:34dollars and four cents for one scoop of two flavors in a cone but overall i would give nannies

01:40a 5 out of 10 because even though it was good it was really a struggle i walked over to the closest

01:46shoppers drug mart to find wives to clean myself with because going to the next ice cream spot would

01:52have been a disaster if i was covered in nanny's ice cream after five minutes of whining crying and

01:58cleaning i finally got presentable enough to continue on with my taste test and i've got a

02:04whole pack of wipes this time in case this happens again which spoiler alert it does mzika gelateria is

02:10located on 307 queen street west and every time i've passed it after work there was a line that wrapped

02:16around the corner they have so many flavors to choose from including pesca dark chocolate wild berry

02:22cheesecake biscotti and so much more i got one of their most popular flavors the baccio i'm in love

02:31with any sort of hazelnut chocolate and this was this perfect scoop the creaminess was great it didn't

02:37melt at an unprecedented rate i was able to control it a bit this time the cone was crunchy too and it was

02:46great when combined with the ice cream they also had options to choose from but i just went for the

02:50basic one they did have an indoor and outdoor seating area which made this like a perfect summer

02:56date spot okay mzika gelateria is fan-tabulous and delicious if you haven't been you should go it is

03:07definitely worth the line it was 7.22 for the price of the ice cream with the cone and there was somewhere to

03:13sit so i really appreciated that i loved the experience i sat down enjoyed my ice cream it

03:19was melting but it melted on the table and not onto my dress um anyways i give this place a 10 out of 10

03:25i said it bang bang ice cream is on 93 osington avenue and since i can remember this place has

03:32always had a lineup even when i went on a friday afternoon bang bang has a lot of ice cream options

03:37to choose from but they told me their best seller was the burnt toffee and i was surprised at how much i

03:42actually liked it you can also pair your ice cream with cookies but i chose their simplest sugar cone

03:47the ice cream had caramel hints a crunch and a creamy base that made the overall experience crave

03:53worthy the ice cream did melt fast but it was manageable and it made it more delicious as it got

03:59softer is that weird it was just better when it was softer okay now we're gonna give the cone a try

04:04um not my favorite so i just tried bang bang and even though i've never had burnt toffee before i

04:18loved it it was so good i did not expect that to be the flavor of the ice cream and the added crunch

04:23made the experience a lot more fun but i'm not a fan of the cone i'm not gonna lie tasted a bit stale

04:29for my liking it was the cheapest it was six dollars with tip and the experience was all right

04:36it was pretty fast even though there was a lineup there was nowhere to sit so for all of the above

04:41i give this place an overall rating of seven out of ten all right toronto we got to the end of our

04:47taste test and thankfully so because i'm so sticky i literally need to go home and just shower but also

04:54eat a salad because having three ice creams in one day is not great especially when it's melting all over

04:58the place but we all know the winner here is mazika gelateria that's not to say that the others

05:05weren't fantastic they were great they just weren't my favorites in this taste test but make sure to

05:10check them out they're spread out throughout the city let me know in the comments what you think

05:13about my taste test and whether you agree i'm mira nabuzi for nark city canada
