Cones, scoops, and gelato for warm days
There's a scoop for every occasion here: a waffle cone to walk the waterfront with, a tub of craft ice cream for movie night, a gelato stop after dinner. We've gathered the shops we send friends to, from neighbourhood favourites to the newer craft names like 49 Below and Mosi.
Fair warning — scoop shops love a rotating menu, and summer hours are their own thing. Double-check the lineup before you make a special trip.
