It’s officially summer – and what better way to celebrate this glorious season in the city than with ice cream? In fact, the ice cream hype has started right here in our office at 411.ca. The marketing team is a group of self-proclaimed ice cream connoisseurs and had a few differences on which spot is the absolute best in the GTA, so we thought we’d share our favourites with you and let you decide!

“I love ice cream, I love cookies, and I love variety. There’s nothing quite like eating cinnamon toast ice cream sandwiched in a Captain P’nut cookie. It sells out fast, but highly recommend the bang bang cone.”
