The Best Vegan Ice Cream in Toronto

If you're looking to beat the summer heat without the dairy, Toronto's got you covered. Several vegan ice cream options have popped up in the city over the years, from ice cream sandwiches to oat milk soft serve and dairy-free gelato, so those who follow an animal-free diet or don't consume dairy have plenty of options to get their fix. It's truly amazing what kind of fruit or nut milk bases, flavour infusions and indulgent accompaniments restaurants can dream up these days that happen to contain just as much decadent flavour, but with entirely plant-based ingredients! Most people would never know the difference, so if you follow a vegan diet or have friends and family that do, make sure to head on over to one of these deliciously sweet spots.
