Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery

A Must-Visit Dessert Spot if you’re a fan of indulgent desserts, Bang Bang Ice Cream and Bakery is the place to be. They have an incredible selection of treats, from freshly baked cookies and waffles to an assortment of cones that perfectly complement their many ice cream options. We tried their banana ice cream, and it was absolutely spot on—creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor. It had the perfect balance of natural banana sweetness and that classic creamy texture you’d hope for in a premium scoop. The atmosphere is just as delightful as the desserts, making it a fantastic spot for a treat with friends or a solo indulgence. With so many options to explore, I can’t wait to return and try more flavors. Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Walked in on a weekday around 6 pm and there was no line. The service was very friendly and explained the options well. You can choose to put your ice cream in a cone or as an ice cream sandwich between their baked goods including cookies, brownies, cream puffs, or bubble waffles so it's a very customizable experience! They have unique flavors and a few seasonal ones. The top row of their wall display of ice cream tubs are the most popular! Tried the pumpkin & cookie butter in a normal cone and it was heavenly. Creamy, not too sweet, and a balanced flavor between pumpkin and cookie butter. Would definitely come again to try another one!

Fast becoming an icon in this great city, it is clear why there are lines and people wait to experience these delights! Good to know that this is takeaway only, nowhere to sit and enjoy these delights! The menu changes regularly, and things do sell out, which is why I missed out on roasted pineapple ice cream. Nevertheless, the half hour plus wait was worth it, the staff just delightful despite working in a small and very busy place. Loved my freshly prepared waffle! Our group also appreciated the vegan & dairy free options.

I ordered a scoop of Nocciola e Cioccolato, an Italian-flavored ice cream, sandwiched in a puff pastry. It was incredibly delicious. The ice cream had a very rich hazelnut and chocolate flavor, and the puff pastry wasn’t soft; it had a nice chew to it. This is the best ice cream I’ve had recently.

Over all, enjoyed the ice cream. They had quite a few options to have your ice cream in (cup, cone, sandwich, etc). The servers were very friendly and efficient. Had the Maltease, which tasted nice but melted fairly quickly into a watery form to enjoy it. Made me question the texture of it.

Many suggest that this is the best ice cream place in Toronto and I would probably agree. They have all the usual flavors and some special ones but what makes it special is the complexity. Most of the flavors aren't on their own, their is a unique twist to them that just elevates the ice creams even further. I'd recommend trying the ice cream sandwiches with their cookies made in house or with the waffles. Highly recommend.

Bang Bang Ice Cream in Toronto is a must-visit spot for dessert lovers, known for its inventive ice cream flavors and signature ice cream sandwiches. The shop offers a wide variety of unique flavors, from classic vanilla to adventurous options like lychee rosewater and burnt toffee. What sets Bang Bang apart is the option to enjoy your ice cream in a warm, freshly baked cookie sandwich or a crispy Hong Kong-style bubble waffle. The quality of the ice cream is outstanding, rich, and creamy, with bold flavors that stand out. The shop itself is small and often packed, so expect a line, especially on warm days but move fast. However, the wait is worth it for the delicious and Instagram-worthy treats. The staff is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. Bang Bang Ice Cream is a sweet spot that lives up to its hype, making it a favorite among Toronto locals and tourists alike. Offers a single scoop split option, we order mud and burnt toffee.

This place was poppin’ on a Tuesday night which was a bit surprising but I suppose that good food attracts a lot of people. There were unique ice cream flavors, as well as good options for cones, cups, cookies and bubble waffle ice cream delivery systems. We had the Totaro and the boba papa milk tea flavours, both in the bubble waffle cone. The waffle cones take a bit of time but they are definitely worth the wait. We felt really lucky that we didn’t miss the cut off at the end of the night for the bubble waffle (it’s supposed to stop 30 min before closing time). Great option for dessert, or snack if you’re in the Ossington area.

Bang Bang Ice Cream is a dessert lover's dream! I tried their chocolate and peanut butter ice cream on cookies, and it was absolutely incredible. The ice cream was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced--the chocolate and peanut butter flavors complemented each other beautifully. The cookies were the perfect addition--fresh, chewy, and just the right texture to hold the creamy goodness together. The combination was indulgent and satisfying, a real treat for the senses. The staff were friendly and efficient, even with the busy atmosphere. If you're looking for a standout ice cream experience, Bang Bang is a must-visit. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors!

Hadn't realized I already left a review for bang bang, 8 years ago! Defs due for an update. We came around 8pm on a chilly Friday evening, in Nov and surprised to still see a small line! Like damn, does this place ever NOT have a line? We probably waited 10 mins or less before we were inside placing our order, so no biggie. Their flavours right now are poppin but I settled on the tiramisu and peanut butter. BOMB. The peanut butter flavour really came through and that tiramisu tasted real. My friend had gotten the milk tea flavour and I tried a bit of it. Ommmg it's so good! The milk tea flavour was so strong. Any milk tea lover would like this. It's fairly priced for 2 flavours, though I feel like the scoops are a tad small. But that's just me nitpicking. The flavours are amazing and I see why they continue to be an iconic staple on Ossington.

One of my top 3 favorite ice cream shops in downtown Toronto! A must visit if you're craving some ice cream or looking for a dessert spot after a meal in Ossington. The smell of freshly made cookies and egg waffles fill the store and makes you want to stop by for a treat! The shop is small and there is no seating, so it's a quick grab and go spot. There is a bench outside of the shop but other than that, majority of people stand around the area to eat. There is always a line up and the reason why is it's because the flavors are all so good! They have a decent selection of flavors and unique ones as well. I usually go for their London Fog and Milk Tea flavors. Their bubble waffles are a must as well, very delicious when made fresh and pairs nicely with your ice cream. The pricing is also reasonable for what you get as well. The scoops are a good size and the flavors really shine through each bite. Since the shop is very popular, there is usually a few minutes wait for the waffles but the staff are quick and efficient. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area. My go to is usually the ice cream and egg waffles but I would love to try their cookies as an ice cream sandwich next time!

So a local introduced us to this place. He said it was his favorite so we ventured out here to try this ice cream and the pho place down the street. The line is very very long throughout the day so be prepared to wait. They have so many flavors it's kind of hard to pick one to try for your first one. I got a banana flavored one. It tastes just like banana pudding. It was so good. it was like heaven in a cup. After I had that, I realized what the hype was all about. It was the worth the wait in line. The workers are constantly working so they try to keep the line moving as quickly as possible.

Okay okay, I know that celebrities love this place, but honestly, I think this may be a tad overhyped. The lines are long, the servings are small, and the ice-cream-- while rich and creamy-- wasn't super memorable. I will try it again, though I think my heart for small-batch ice-cream still lies with Summers in Yorkville...

Line up was sooo long even on a weekday evening but was worth the wait. Their toffee is great and I would like to have it again soon! They have quite the variety of unique flavours that you normally don't see elsewhere. No seating area and can be quite crowded and tight. Service was friendly, quick and efficient. I highly recommend if you're in the area.

Really good ice cream- I got the marshmallow s'mores and it was the perfect amount for a small cup. The only caveat is that they don't do samples and I do think that's unfortunate because they have such eclectic flavors and would be nice to taste before committing. Otherwise I'd recommend for someone who really enjoys 90% creamy and maybe a 10% icey.

This place is crazy! Such a long line for something that I don't understand the hype for. After doing the research and seeing what the hype was, I had a cookie sammie, rococoa cookie with chocolate hazelnut icecream and burnt butter toffee (what they are known for.) This was definitely not worth anything. A 3 star wax being generous. If I went in the summer it would be much lower. The cookie was hard and not warm. My toffee ice cream was melting and most of it was the "sponge cake" that was inside. Other was between the 30 minute wait, melting icecream and hard cold cookie... idk what I can say... It's worth trying once, only if you are looking for the trend. There were a few other places down the street that looked pretty good too.

One of my favourite ice cream spots in Toronto. The flavours are so good, my faves are the HK milk tea, tarte au citron, and lychee rosewater w/ raspberry. They have a lot of different flavours w/ non-dairy options so there's something for everyone! Line up can be long but it does go quick, I recommend going before dinner time if you don't want to wait as long. Decide what you want in line as you won't have much time when you get to the front. It's a to go place so there's nowhere to sit inside, there's a bench outside but I recommend either stepping to the side and eating there, or going to trinity bellwoods park to eat (if you haven't finished it/it hasn't melted by the time you walk over). My life hack has also been to get the single scoop split. For less than a dollar extra you can get 2 flavours in a single scoop! I looove doing this and am making my way through every flavour they have. Will get there soon as I come here for ice cream multiple times a summer. Definitely try it out!

The hype is real! Delicious and delectable bubble waffles with icecream. This time I ordered the flavours burnt toffee and totoro! The burnt toffee flavour was extremely caramely and delicious. It had a fun crunchy texture with dried chunks of toffee. The totoro was great id you enjoy coconut flavours. The coconut flavour was stronger than the ube but still delicious nonetheless :)

It's been a while since I been here luckily we came early because theees always a line here we waited 30 mins compared to the hour I waited at night last time. You can get two flavors I got mud and London fog which in my opinion are the two gets flavors at bang bang, I didn't have to wait too long even though they had a lineup of people. The ice cream was so good the mud was my favourite you get a strong mocha taste, and the London fog has a strong tea Flavor, the waffle melts in your mouth so soft, I just wanted to keep eating the ice cream. The mud flavor tasted like a mocha fudge brownie, it was so good, this and mizzica are the best ice cream in Toronto.

The line was long, but after trying their ice cream, I fully understand the hype! The flavors were so good - we tried the tiramisu, tarte au citron, vanilla bean, and London fog. We were blown away by how delicious and flavorful everything was. I recommend getting the single-scoop split option if you want to try 2 flavors at a time. The service was also quick and the workers were all very friendly, which is always a plus. We loved this spot so much that my sister and I visited Bang Bang twice in our short 3-day trip - would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet treat!

Good flavorful ice cream with a variety to choose from. Totoro- good taro/coconut flavor ice cream. 4/5 Matcha twist jasmine soba- matcha was bitter so it balanced out the sweetness of the from the jasmine soba. 4/5 Nocciola- hazelnut based chocolate that was creamy and reminded me of Nutella. Best of the bunch. 5/5

It's pretty good, line up goes through at a decent pace. I think it's great. I got the totaro and match/jasmine soba. Both had great flavours that really stood out. For the totaro, I notice a more pronounced ube than anything else, which is cool cuz I love ube. For Matcha/japanese soba, I didn't really know what to expect. My curiosity led me to a successful adventure. Matcha was Matcha, not too strong and it didn't overpower the soba. It also had fun random crunch bits to it, which was a nice texture surprise. I personally wouldn't go out of my way for this one, but definitely would hit it up again and line up for it if I'm in the area.

Came here on a Tuesday night, even though it was a weeknight there was a long line. The service was pretty efficient so the wait wasn't too long. We wanted to try as many flavours as possible so we got 2 different scoops in the egg waffle (lychee rosewater raspberry and miso mon cherry) and one singular scoop of totaro. Our favourite flavour was totaro. Next time we are definitely coming back to try the other flavours and get a cookie sammie too.

The first time I tried to go, there was a line down the block which I didn't feel like waiting in. The next day, I lined up right before they opened. I got the burnt toffee, lychee rosewater raspberry, and Totaro ice cream. I also got the oatmeal, peanut butter, birthday cake, and ginger cookies. I came for the ice cream, but the cookies surprised me by being equally amazing. The ice cream flavors were so unique and delicious. The cookies had wonderful depth of flavor and the perfect chewy texture that I loved. My personal favorite cookies were the peanut butter and oatmeal cookie. I would definitely return to try their entire menu.

Ice cream in the wintertime the moment it gets a little bit warmer! I visited Bang Bang Ice Cream the weekend the temperature got out of the negatives (it was 3 degrees haha). I had the totaro and jasmine soba. Totaro had a nice flavour of taro with a light touch of coconut. The Jasmine Soba was definitely my favourite it is more on the bitter flavour side because of its strong matcha and tea-like flavour (which I really liked). My boyfriend enjoyed the Totaro more as it was not bitter like the jasmine soba and was on the sweeter side. The cashier had amazing service and was very sweet with helping me with my order. The store itself is very small in space so we did have to eat outside in the cold. It is probably best to get this when it is much much warmer. However, I had a very good time and the ice cream was delicious! I will be back to try more flavours.

Line ups can be crazy long here but its very very worth it. The London Fog Earl Grey hits home hard. The ice cream in that flavor is soooo goood. I have not tasted any that is near that flavor and creaminess. Ahhhh so divine. I can only vouch for that flavor as i always crave it when here. A+++ for that and selection.

A popular ice cream in Ossington West, Toronto that always has a line! Came here after dinner for some ice cream just like everyone else in line. Waited for about 20 minutes for ice cream and got popped on from the birds above the trees while in line (HAHA, how lucky of me). No biggie, wiped off with tissue and continued with my waiting. Got near the front of the store and there's menus plastered on their walls so you can make your decision before hand. Got the burnt toffee in a cup in a cup and absolutely loved it, definitely a 5/5! It's sticky toffee pieces in your ice cream that's super creamy and sweet. It's what I usually get when I come here and never have any regrets. You can choose to get your ice cream in a cup, cone, or waffle cone - so many choices. There's a huge line and hype for a reason, it's actually so good!

Nice little ice cream shop on Ossington. The prices are pretty reasonable and you can also get baked goods like cookies with your ice cream. Lots of different flavors but do expect a line!

We heard there is usually a long line for this place but we came at around 8:30pm on a chilly night and there was no line! There was a line starting to form after we placed our order though What we got: Lychee Rosewater with Raspberry Curd Burnt Toffee Mango Puddin Custard The Rococoa The Everything Cookie We got some large cups of mango pudding custard & lychee rose water with raspberry curd to go to eat for later that I decided to have for breakfast the next day and holy cow. Both flavors were really good, but that lychee may be one of my most favorite ice cream flavors of all time!! The lychee and rosewater didn't overpower each other at all and the swirls of that slightly sweet slightly tart raspberry was epic in my opinion! Not pictures is the Burnt Toffee because we ate that right away- actually, we demolished it because of how well balanced it was! Not too sweet! The creamy flavor of the ice cream itself was yummy and the pieces of toffee just topped it off really well! So so gooooood! The cookies were also good but the ice cream stole the show for sure!

Yeah it's amazing and worth the hype. Cookie and ice cream -- both amazing. That said while it's worth the hype and price -- it isn't really worth the wait. I came by and the line was multiple blocks long, so pass -- came another time and it was a normal line, much better

Came here when it opened and there was no line, which is definitely the play as I hear there are huge lines all the time! Tried the big bang waffle which comes with two scoops of ice cream, and got lychee rosewater raspberry and matcha genmaicha tiramisu. The combo was absolutely amazing with the fresh hot waffle and great ice cream. Really aesthetic as well with the blended stripes of colour. It was very rich and you could taste the flavours really well. Should be noted that these are kind of specialty flavours so you pay a bit extra - overall came out to around $9 + tax.

This is a bit of a late review, but Bang Bang is my favourite spot for ice cream in the city, especially when the bubble waffle is made right (one time it was kind of hard when it's usually it's soft and a little fluffy). Bang Bang offers a wide selection of unique flavors, and all the ice cream flavors I've tried to date has been delicious. You can aslo choose to have your ice cream served in a cup, cone, bubble waffle, or in a ice cream sandwich format. You will normally see a line here, and you can expect to wait up to 15 minutes during busy periods if you want your ice cream in the bubble waffle. It's a small shop with no seating. However, it's conveniently located in the core of the restaurant filled part of the Ossington strip between Dundas and Queen, if you're craving for some ice cream after your meal. Featured is 2 flavours of ice cream in a bubble waffle.

This place is worth the try if nothing else given that it's such a novelty. The ice cream flavors I had were tasty--burnt toffee and Dulce de Leche. The toffee chunks were larger than I would have expected and hard to chew. I would go for another flavor next time. I loved the purple ice cream--totaro--and the sticky rice on top was such a great surprise! I went for a half of a cookie sandwich--thankfully that was served in a container because that was a hot mess to eat. I had the everything cookie with mine. The everything cookie wasn't my jam. If I were to come back, I would go for the Rococoa or B'day cookie or the Old Fashioned Oat cookie instead. Don't expect to have a seat here to enjoy your ice cream, because this place doesn't have a spot for that. The server we had was knowledgeable about the product and I appreciated her opinion.

It's actually hard to find if you're looking for a sign to say Bang Bang Ice Cream because there aren't any. Look out for an ice cream store in the middle of the block. They do not offer samples but they will explain the flavors to you. The Totaro has actual taro chunks but nothing special if you eat taro often like I do. The Matcha Jasmine Sobacha tasted mostly of matcha. I didn't taste jasmine or the buckwheat tea at all. Also, the ice creams were already melty when the cup was handed to me.

There is always a big line for this place as far as I have heard, and I witnessed the same. Yet it was worth the wait I would say! There is no seating as it is a very small area where you can just order, collect, and step out to eat. They have all their flavors displayed on the menu outside and have both cone and cups to choose from. I generally like Taro flavor and chose the same. It was yummy and just perfect in taste. Not too sweet

Wow. Just, WOW! The ceremonial matcha / soba is extremely good. We had soba/buckwheat flavor in Japan and dreamt of having it again. Then we found bang bang. Holy crap the texture of the grainy buckwheat really shined through, and we got it with the egg waffle. 10/10. Service was exceptional, the workers came out to give us our cones in a timely manner despite the long line.

They didn't have the milky cantaloupe when I went so I opted for mango custard w warm coconut sticky rice. So yum! The cream puff was soft and warm!! Highly recommend

Such a fun, unique ice cream joint. Although the line is long, it goes quick. The egg waffle cones take the longest, because they make them to-order. I thoroughly enjoyed my ginger cookie ice cream sandwich (1/2 size was plenty). The spice was perfect and it paired well with my banana cream pie scoop. The cinnabun ice cream sandwich was also well loved. We paired it was the cinnamon toast scoop - just made sense to do so. Didn't care for the lemon taste in the birthday cookie, but the kids did love the campfire marshmallow scoop. In my opinion, the best ice cream was the Reese PB. I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM and the base of this scoop had a well-pronounced pb flavor. It tasted so good in a warm egg waffle cone. This spot is worth all the hype.

I love Bang Bang ice cream. The flavours are always so inventive and whether you choose just a scoop, bubble waffle or cookie - you won't be disappointed. There are times when there is no line, but be prepared to wait on occasion. The line usually does move fast, although if you order the waffle it will take longer. There's no seating room, so be prepared to eat on the go or find a bench nearby. Overall great ice cream spot!

Truly the highlight of our week long culinary adventure to Toronto. The reviews speak for themselves, what are you waiting for? We did wait about 30 minutes for the ice cream, but the wait was well worth it. I got a half ginger cookie sandwich with burnt toffee (8/10) and Smores (12/10). I still dream about the creaminess of the s'more ice cream, along with the complementary spicy-ness of the ginger cookie. My girlfriend got the taro (9/10) and soursop (8/10) with birthday cake cookie. Also standout flavors! Honestly well worth the wait and price. Can't wait to go back. Highly highly recommend!

After trying the top 3 ice cream shops in Toronto I can safely say this is definitely the best one -- insane how much flavor was packed in each bite! Also I'm usually a purist and prefer more ice cream to mix-ins, but the mix-ins in the Malted Chocolate and Burnt Toffee flavors I got were so crazy good!

Great ice cream and sandwiches. The cookies used for the sandwiches are delicious on their own. Amazing service and selection.

Ice cream here was yum! Wasn't too busy for us (it is the middle of winter) but a lot of flavors to choose from. I went with a single scoop split (5.40) with the the vanilla oreo and the matcha genmaicha tiramisu. I loved both the flavors! the oreo was simple and sweet but not too sweet while the matcha was interesting - its has some rum so is a bit bitter but all the flavors fit together so well! I actually had trouble even picking because there was so many flavors to choose from. Prices are good too! two big scoops for 5.40 was more than enough for me and felt like they were generous with the portion size. Loved it here and definitely wanna check it out again!

One of the best ice cream I've tasted recently. There's always a line so prepare to line up. I got a split scoop of Matcha Genmaicha Tiramisu and Noc-.... Chocolate ice cream. The matcha genmaicha tiramisu has a strong alcohol flavor but so so good. The chocolate ice cream had great roasted hazelnut flavor. Strongly recommend this spot

The best Icecream I've ever had. I will definitely be going back anytime I visit Canada. I wish they had a bigger building with how much traction this place gets, but other than that it was really good.

The key to a good ice cream sandiwch starts with a good cookie of course. The cookies here are fantastic with the perfect balance of flavour and texture to make those famous ice cream sandwiches that people line up for hours for. This time, I tried the dulce de leche ice cream with the ginger cookie and it was a fantastic combo of sweet and savoury. The key is to get a good combo and I find the fruity flavours are not always conducive to that. But this was a match made in heaven! Can't wait to go back.

My friend recommended I come to this ice cream shop and I was not disappointed. The menu highlights various Asian-inspired flavors. We got the mango pudding custard-- delicious! It was so creamy and tasted spot on like mango pudding. We also ordered the vanilla bean custard and totaro (ube and coconut) in a big bang waffle (rolled egg waffle). Not only was it aesthetically pleasing, but so good! The totaro is a must try. For some reason, the vanilla bean tasted a little plasticky (might of just been my specific scoop). The egg waffle was the right amount of chewiness. I definitely would come back to try out other flavors.

I feel like this is one of those spots that will always have a line no matter what day, what time, or even how cold it is. We came around 30 minutes before closing on a Sunday night when it was close to freezing outside and still had to wait around 15 minutes or so to get our ice cream. They don't have indoor seating, so once you get it you kind of have to just stand outside in the cold and eat it too. I opted for a split single scoop with the oreo mint and jasmine soba flavors. Both were not entirely what I expected, but not in a bad way. The jasmine soba was super unique with a really strong jasmine tea flavor that I enjoyed, although I wasn't too sure what the soba part was. It also had bits of the tea leaves inside which was interesting. I also really liked the flavor of the oreo mint one which was actually brown instead of your typical green, but it had a good minty-chocolateyness and oreo cookie pieces inside. I did find the texture of this one to be a little softer than the other though which made it feel almost pre-melted. With such great reviews I definitely had high expectations -- this was certainly good ice cream but I'm not entirely sure its 100% worth all of that. The cookies and other combinations do look cool though, and I would try them sometime!

Really good ice cream. Many choices as usual. We tried Burnt Toffee (big chunk of toffee in it) and soursop (not Sour at all.

I'm *pretty* sure this was Matcha-Genmaicha Tiramisu, in some sort of chocolate cookie, which was... a lot. The bitterness of the matcha was definitely there, but a lot of the other flavours kind of cancelled each other out. I think I'll give one of the other flavours a shot.

One of the best ice creameries in Toronto for very good reason. Unique and creative flavors that always deliver. I've had at least 50% of the flavors offered and they are all expectational. My absolute favourite is the Burnt Toffee. Their cookies, pastries and hot chocolate are all equally fabulous just not the star of the show. All do well paired with their ice cream. I love thé mix 'n match cookie and ice cream--concoct your own ice cream sandwich. My one and only "even better if" with Bang Bang is their hours. They close a little early. Would be ideal if they were open later.

Popular gelato spot located in ossington. Great variety of flavours. The vegan pineapple gelato was delish. Just wish they had longer operation hours.

Couldn't leave my trip to Toronto without trying this place--the flavors all sound so tempting, a lot of them hard to find elsewhere. Came on a weekday, and ended up being first in line since I came 15 minutes before they opened. We asked the staff what was recommended, and she said the common ones to get included the boba papa milk tea, burnt toffee, matcha-jasmine soba, totaro, and soursop. Ended up getting two single cups with split scoops: matcha tiramisu and totaro, and then the burnt toffee and lychee rosewater raspberry Matcha tiramisu: I was warned beforehand of the strong alcohol taste, and man they weren't exaggerating. As long as you don't mind the rum taste, it was quite good, with chiffon pieces in every bite. The bitterness of the matcha went well with the ice cream and made it not as sweet. Totaro: I love purple sweet root vegetables and so had to get this. The ube taste was well-concentrated and I loved the soft pieces that added texture. Unfortunately compared to the other flavors, it was icy with mini ice bits--the other flavors were all smooth though so I wonder if I just had a bad batch not representative of what it usually is. Burnt toffee: definitely the one to get for all toffee lovers out there. I appreciate the crunchy chucks of toffee generously loaded in this one. Lychee rosewater raspberry- if you're into fruity/flowery flavors then this is the flavor for you. Very refreshing. Bang bang really stands out for their flavors--it was hard for me to decide which ones I wanted since they all sounded exciting to try. Ignoring the icy bits, the totaro was my favorite, and since the other flavors were smooth, I'll assume it was an unlucky batch. All in all this was a great place for a refreshing sweet treat!

Must try if you're in the area! There's a of unique flavors to choose from and appreciate you can choose different flavors for the same scope!

Not going to lie, my friends and I were a little salty when we saw how long the line was at this place. I mean we had just cycled 660 miles from NYC to Toronto (long story...), and we had to stand in line? Despite our initial misgivings, I will say this place was worth the hype. The flavors are heavily Asian-inspired, creative, and executed excellently. My favorite was the warm cinnamon roll + milk tea ice cream, a combo made in heaven. The slight bitterness of the milk tea ice cream perfectly complemented the rich roll, rounded out by all that cinnamon-y goodness. I salivate just thinking about it. Also it didn't hurt that their staff were all super cute, friendly, and bubbly ;)

This may be one of the most well known icecream places in Toronto, and for a good reason! There is always a huge line for this place but I was able to get there at a good time. The icecream is so creamy and rich, and the flavours are so unique. My personal favourite was the Mon Miso Cherry - the miso added a nice savoury flavour to the base which gave it a cheesecake flavour that was slightly elevated. This place also sells the same icecream and cookies as Bakerbots, so if you are near Bakerbots it is worth giving a try to avoid a line!

Been a few years since my last visit to Bang Bang Ice Cream. Nothing has changed and that's a good, good thing. We dropped in on a busy Tuesday evening (around 7:30pm). The line was long but the queue moves quickly. Menu is split into ice cream and vegan flavours (about 30 options!), cookies and stuff me. Sad that they didn't have the ginger amazake flavour available. - Flight ($6.95 for 6oz) - we opted for the lychee rosewater raspberry, cassis sorbet and milkjam Ontario sour cherry (twist of roasted milk-brown butter and sour cherry). All were tasty and bursting with flavour. - Full ice cream sandwich ($9.25) - M went with the banana puddin' custard and miso mon cherry. Banana pudding tasted just like the dessert. A must visit to Bang Bang for any ice cream lovers.
