Summer is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than with some cold treats. Toronto’s ice cream/ gelato game is STRONG; we offer everything from gelato popsicles to amazing soft serve, cookie sandwiches, Dole Whip floats, and Thai-style rolled ice cream. Here are my top ice cream and gelato flavours you must try this summer:

1. Black Maple from Lola’s Gelato – 16 Brookers Lane

2. Earl Grey Soft Serve with Lemon Curd from Roselle – 362 King St E

Earl grey soft serve ice cream – this has got to be one of my favourite treats in the city. The inside of the cup is drizzled with lemon curd. Finishing touches include white chocolate pearls and an earl grey cookie. Just brilliant. Get a taste before it's gone for the season! @roselle_to #tastesto
