I had the pistachio and burnt marshmallow in a medium. I found both okay. Service was friendly. It was a rainy day and I was in the neighbourhood, so I got to try this neighbourhood staple. Portions are generous compared to some other Icecream/gelato places. There is very little seating inside. It's one of those places where you pickup icecream and walk around. read more

Had the burnt marshmallow flavor and it had a nice deep, slightly charred taste that I really liked -- added a nice contrast to the sweetness. Already thinking about going back to try more flavors. read more

The hype is real - burnt marshmallow is their world famous flavor and it was very good. I tried that and the smores - both were similar but with different textures, and both delicious. These are the types of flavors you need to get with a cone, and that's exactly what I'll be doing next time! read more

Decided to get a sorbet for a change. At first they weren't sure if there was any mango sorbet left as it was end of the night so they told me to pick a second choice, just in case. Luckily, there was still some left and OMG, the mango sorbet was out of this world. It was refreshing and tasted like real . I was debating whether to get another cup since it was so finger licking good but they sold out. The lemon lime sorbet was delish too but my favoriting is the mango sorbet Mango sorbet is a dessert made primarily from mangoes, water, and sugar, sometimes with the addition of lime juice for extra flavor. It's a refreshing, dairy-free treat, offering a sweet and tangy taste with a smooth, icy texture. It's also low in fat!

Came here because an international ice cream taster said this is among the best in the world. Didn't disappoint. Wife and I both had roasted marshmallow and it was very good. Some of the top ice cream I've had frankly. Service was very friendly. Parents with kids. Please control them and don't speak so loudly that others can't even hear themselves please. read more

Summer in Toronto means one thing: ice cream--and Ed's is good. We dropped in on a warm day and were met with a dreamy lineup of flavours. Creamy, rich, and full of character read more

Looking for our last affagato in Toronto. Ed's real scoop was the place we found! Real ice cream and strong fresh espresso the perfect duo for an affagato . My only fault here was the paper cup it came in . I always feel an affogato deserves a really cup. Though this was still utterly delicious. I did love that this was a real old school kinda ice cream store. Friendly staff that happily let us try samples of flavors. Good rich and creamy ice cream . If In the area highly recommend this high quality ice cream shop! The divine smell of waffle cones being freshly made will lure you in for sure! read more

I come here a few times every summer and there's always a line. If you're lucky, a short line ;) but definitely worth the wait. The ice cream is amazingly creamy and so far; all flavours I've tried are good and I don't think you can go wrong. The mango sherbet is tastes very fresh and flavourful. Staff have great customer service with offering samples to taste, and the music is never too loud. I'm excited they started a loyalty points program, I'll definitely going to start using it on return trips :) read more

I've heard about this place a lot and finally got to give it a try. They have both ice cream and gelato, and all of their sizes come with 2 flavours. I got the small size, and got the pistachio gelato and london fog. Its the perfect portion for an after meal dessert. The ice cream was soooo creamy, I cannot wait to try their other flavours! read more

This is my sister's family's favorite ice cream shop. However, our family was not as excited. They thought it was a little too soft, the flavors weren't as strong as they preferred and overall thought it was about average. I guess my sister's family won't like our favorite ice cream shops. read more

Love that they have a kid size and you can still pick two flavours. Tried espresso and burnt marshmallow. I liked espresso more. The ice cream is creamy and not sickly sweet. read more

Wanting a late night ice cream treat, searched Yelp to see what was close by before heading home and I was directed to Ed's. What can I say - this is the real deal. What ice cream and gelato is supposed to taste like. Bursting of flavour. Freshness, just pure unadulterated deeeeee-lite. My usual gelato go to is lemon. I just love it. But sadly they were out of it. Tears started to descend, but I bravely put on my resting bitch face and ordered the passion fruit gelato. Wowza - I've never tasted anything passion fruit that had as strong as a flavour as this gelato did. It was so tart and passion-y, the flavour truly came out to party today! It was so good I think I forgot to take the obligatory photo! Guess I'll just have to go back...what a shame ;) It's a tiny spot (super popular), street parking. Pack your patience bc it can get super busy, line ups. I went late at night and there was still a small line but it went quickly. read more

I'm not sure how I missed this place which must surely be an institution. They make all their ice cream - and waffle cones too. I went a couple times inside of one week and tried a few flavours. You can taste the quality and authenticity of the ingredients. I tasted a couple of their fruit-based ones: strawberry and passionfruit (gelato). Both were bursting with their authentic fruit flavour. Quite sweet, but not overly since the extra sweetness comes from the real taste and not just added sugar. I tried their chocolate mint and it was a delight. In almost a similar way to the fruit, the mint taste was strong, but also not overpowering, but rather very fresh as it came from a natural place and not just too much extract. The Tanzanian chocolate might be on the throne as the best pure chocolate, non-mixed ice creams I've had. The kicker is that you get two scoops even with a kid's cone (and anyone can order it) and can choose different flavours. Just from these two visits I might put this as my favourite hard ice cream place in the GTA. read more

If you eat, sleep and dream about ice cream, you must visit Ed's Real Scoop -- it's the real deal, and some of the best I've had. Each of its four shops in Toronto creates premium frozen treats in small, in-house batches using premium ingredients. The moment a spoonful hits your tongue, you'll be able to taste the difference. So, what is Ed's secret to premium ice cream? Recipes are made with a blend of milk and cream and churned at a low speed for an irresistibly creamy texture. Visiting the OG shop in the Beach neighbourhood is one of my favourite activities in the warmer months. While the lineups are generally long, it's worth the wait to get your hands on a fresh waffle cone brimming with some of their fans' favourite flavours including sweet cream, triple chocolate and burnt marshmallow. Take your cone for a stroll while you saunter along the boardwalk to admire Lake Ontario and this picturesque east end neighbourhood. read more

Ed's was pretty good but nothing different. That said, the people are super friendly, the scoops are pretty generous, the prices are reasonable, and that waffle cone is absolutely amazing.

The Burnt Marshmallow ice cream and Mango sorbet were delicious, but the Red Hot Chili Chocolate gelato was so good that I went back for seconds! Be sure to get a freshly made waffle cone too!! The 3 stars are because the scoops are disappointingly small. Not at all what you see on social media. P.S. I ordered and paid for the largest size they offer, but I don't think that's what I got. It seems to depend on who scoops your ice cream and/or gelato, which isn't cool. LOL! Get it? Cool? #dadjoke read more

Really good ice cream for a reasonable price. There's a lot of gelato flavours and regular ice cream flavours to choose from. I got the apricot sorbet and the cassis yoghurt - DELICIOUS. My partner got 4 - strawberry cream, rocky road, hazelnut gelato, and mango sorbet. Also delicious. The fruit flavours tasted like real fruit. Would've been nice if they had seating to sit inside, but there is a park around the corner so we ate there and it wasn't too bad. Friendly and well staffed. Would definitely come back. read more

Very good ice cream place. You can tell from the lineups. Right now, they have 2 booths where they take your order from and you're being served really fast. Service is nice and friendly. Their kids sizes are generous too. I got the chocolate hazelnut flavor which was delicious. read more

I've always loved Eds - especially their green tea flavour which is unfortunately only available in the summer. We came here after dinner yesterday and I was so glad that this location closes at 10 so we were able to make it on time. I was torn between vanilla bean or being festive and trying their pumpkin flavour. He went with strawberry which I knew was amazing so when I didn't like the pumpkin, he switched with me :) Service is always friendly and the ice cream is creamy and delicious - but pumpkin isn't for everyone lol read more

Hands down my favorite ice cream shop on the GTA. only spot that comes close is Bang Bang. My go to flavors, in order, are Milky Way , Callebaut Milk Chocolate , and Triple Chocolate ... with an honorable mention to their Sweet Cream .. a great flavor to mix others with. It's hard to come here and not walk away with a callebaut shake and a pint to enjoy from home. (Tip: if you're getting a pint, mix the callebaut with their sweet cream ) Their waffle cones are also home made and really really good. I just have one big problem with this place... I've only had Milky Way once 1-2 years ago cuz I don't think they've carried it since!! I'd almost deduct a star for that but can't do it. read more

If you have a special guy in your life and you want to please him, give him Ed's. I love getting Ed's so much. I-scream when I get Ed's. But read on below and I'll give you the real scoop. What to get: Coffee Ice Cream, Rhubarb Ice Cream, Creme Brulee Ice Cream, or anything really. What not to get: French Mint, or anything French ever. Just kidding. Really truly kidding. One of the best ice cream shops in North America, and easily the best I've tried in Canada eh. The Coffee, Rhubarb, Creme Brulee, and others, are some of the best flavours I've tried anywhere. I'm not sure what makes Ed's so good but there's a reason all the boys and all the girls always seem to want to be given some Ed. I'm writing this with Mouthwash in my mouth, so the pain is borderline excruciating, but even that does not compare to the pain of not being able to go to Ed's on any given day (grr, border crossing). I do go whenever I'm in Toronto though, and I squeal with delight when they have Rhubarb. I mean who even does Rhubarb anything ever? But I love it. Other than that, the Créme Brulée is the one that rocks my world. It's heavenly and perfect. The Burnt Marshmallow is one of the most popular but is just good, not great. The French Mint is hyper-minty and not too good. The prices are okay, the service is nice, and the clentele are very... well, white. I felt like a real immigrant and dark-skinned foreigner while in here. Oh wait, I kind of am by some questionable Trumpian yardsticks. But still. It was nice to see how the other half of Toronto live. Lots of summer mothers with prams and push chairs or on their bikes with all the hipster-meets-suburbia chic going on up and down this street. But with this ice cream being, by far, the highlight. If you want to try some amazing homemade ice cream, go 'Ed and go to Ed's. Getting Ed's isn't just something that guys love. It's something that girls adore too. Especially when it's done right. And Ed's does it right. read more

Been going to Ed's since forever! BURNT MARSHMALLOW is a must for me at Ed's lol. I love the smokey taste... just like roasting marshmallows on an open campfire! And then there is Very Stout, which taste like Guinness beer... a tad bitter but oddly refreshing! And also Blueberry Pie, and Raspberry White Chocolate, and endless amount of choices! I get very excited for ice cream and creamy gelato... but not so much of the fruity ones! But if you're feeling fruity, I heard Blood Orange is a pop seller! Occasionally they will offer ice cream made with alcohol (two of my loves!). I have never tried Sangria but I hope they will bring it back this summer! Make sure you sample, sample, sample! And remember to pick one complementary topping for your frozen treat - I always forget that because I would start devouring the ice cream already XD Skor bits go with most flavours ^^ If you have never been... you have to make your way to Ed's now. With 3 locations, they are still buzzing with customers all summer long. Staff are cheerful and friendly, they sure know how to put a smile on my face! #dietwhatdiet I'm going back tmr lol. read more

I just love Ed's Real Scoop! Red Hot Chili Chocolate Gelato at Ed's Real Scoop is now my new fave! Yes being Hot and Spicy lady like me, I found the dessert that fit my style. First taste is so rich with chocolate favour and the hint of spiciness at the bottom of my throat as an after taste. hmmmm......yay....... The guy that serves me the ice cream is so nice and cheerful. I have to say the services here is excellent. It is so hard to decide on which favours since there are so many to pick from. I might have to try every single one I have an eye for and still cannot make a decision! Another reason I love the ice cream here is they has more complex flavour.. not just like some sweet sugary ice cream that the only thing I can say is it is sweet! Yes I will be back! And I won't be counting the calories or the fat content! read more

Walk up service on a fun street. Some of the best flavours on the east side. Plan for a line up in the summer

Nothing else to say but great ice cream/ gelato! So many wholesome flavours to choose from. We got pina colada gelato, it was so sweet and light! For two scoops in a cup it was $5. There was quite a line, approx 15 minute wait, but it goes fast! I posted some pictures of the recent price list and the gelato window. read more

Ed's Scoop is always a great place to stop by on a hot summer day to get your ice cream or gelato fix. There's usually a long line up but it goes by quickly. This time around, I ordered the grapefruit and mango sorbet on a sugar cone. The mango sorbet is always good but this was my first time trying the grapefruit flavour. The grapefruit flavour is nice with a touch of bitterness. Definitely for grapefruit lovers out there. read more

I was first introduced to Ed's Real Scoop while I was working at Queen and Roncesvalles while at University. A few years later and now I live close to the Leslieville location, which I visit regularly. I adamantly believe Ed's serves the best ice cream in Toronto. The ice creams have incredible textures, and the flavours are rich and have depth. I love keeping a pint of their pistachio gelato in my freezer at all times. read more

Nestled in Leslieville, it's one of the most popular places in the neighbourhood. ATMOSPHERE: Super lovely place. Warm and bright - in vibe and people. It's a neighbourhood gem for sure. On weekends, you'll see young families making a pit stop here all the time. There are a few tables inside and a couple of benches outside. But like most ice cream parlours, the clientele usually take out. Who doesn't love a stroll in the sun with a waffle cone? SERVICE: Nice and friendly. Feel free to ask for samples before you make the (extremely) tough decision on which flavour(s) you will indulge in on this current visit. PRICE: Good. Competitive pricing with other ice cream parlours and gelato shops. FOOD: They have the best range of ice cream and gelato flavours I have ever seen under one roof! Not only amazing quantity of choices but the flavours are out-of-this-world fantastic. Some of my favs include: pumpkin pie, coconut, and burnt marshmallow. Kids of all ages will love this place. read more

Just a fair warning - this may be bias because my fiance took me here on our first date but at the same time, I can just about guarantee you won't be disappointed. On a warm/hot/humid day, you're bound to find a line up snaking its way down the sidewalk from their doors. Don't let that scare you away because all you have to do is take a big sniff - the smell of perfectly toasted waffle cones will keep you happy in line. There are always interesting flavours but I find myself always favouring the mint chocolate chip or their well-known burnt marshmallow! Like I said, this ice cream stand will always be near and dear to me but I can also say ... when you're needing a treat, a reason to celebrate or.. well, just some dessert... go get some Ed's!! read more

Came here after eating a big meal and was wondering on Queen Street looking for something sweet to eat and happened to see this. Noticed that there was a massive line that was all the way outside, past the doors. The line moved through relatively quickly but there was a lot of people trying to go outside. I like the way their system worked. When one employee was done with a customer, they would help the next customer waiting in line all the way to cashing them out. I tried a few samples and ended up with the double scoop of salted caramel and burnt marshmallow, both were good!! My friend got the waffle scoop with popcorn and hers did really taste like butter popcorn. Just wished there was more AC during our trip there haha read more

Don't let my rating tell you how great this place is... the line up out the door would be your clearest sign. We arrived on a Saturday early evening and already you can see the line up at the door. We weren't sure if we could fit but we managed. It is a tiny little store but behind the counter there is an army of staff just helping everyone. Please dont let the line up stop you... it is worth it and the line moves kinda fast. It maybe took us a little under 15 minutes from the door to walking out with our scoops. They have a lot of flavours and it always rotating. I did snap a pic as there's no menu on their website. They something for everyone... ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and frozen yogurt Plus they do give everyone one free topping of a candy. Every little kid was walking out with either sprinkles or gummy bears on their cones. They also offered several types of cones! The traditional one but a lot of people were walking out with the great looking waffle ones. I was tempted but I got a simple cup cause I was still full from dinner! I was sooo tempted by the ice cream especially the Mercury Espresso but I'm a gelato girl at heart and I was sooo happy to see their gelato not a crazy neon colour (that indicates fake colouring added). So I tried the Amarena Cherry, Tiramisu, and Pistachio. Amerena Cherry - To me, when cherry is good.. its very very good. it needs a balance of sweet and tart to keep it out of the cough syrup territory. Ed's rendition is quite good... it is a touch more sweet than I'd like but still a great option. 3.5/5 Tiramisu - Ok, this was very good ... creamy with very good moments of espresso flavours and I liked the bit of lady fingers buried in the gelato. Nice one to have 4/5 Pistachio - This is the one that made me try their gelato over their ice cream. It's a muted green that speaks to using real nuts instead of fake neon green powder or dye. This was just great. A true lover of nuts would get this over and over. Strong nutty flavour hits your tongue and stays there after the sweetness subsides. 4.5/5 I haven't tried all the ice cream and gelato in Toronto but Ed's is definitely the real deal and very good! read more

Burnt marshmallow to die for!!! The line up is worth the wait, and don't be surprised when it's 20 people deep it's that good!

Love coming here for ice-cream when I'm downtown. The must flavours when I'm here is the burnt marshmallow and pistachios ice-cream on waffle cones. If you go closer to closing, you'll miss out on some popular flavours and even the cones. Will be buying a pint of the burnt marshmallow the next time I'm there. read more

Ed's seems to be somewhat of a famous place although I've not really heard of it. I guess that has something to do with the fact that I'm a west sider and this place is of east side fame. Regardless of Ed's renown reputation our group basically had minutes to order and taste before having to leave. You see coming through the front door when the place is going to close in about 5 minutes is frowned upon, understandingly of course. The gang working here wants to get their weekend on just like we already have by consuming copious amounts of fried chicken just down the street at Kaboom near Broadview. Taking that "damp" cool walk east on Queen to Logan wasn't far but it was an awakening experience... sobering even when I'm already half asleep from filling my belly with IMO is the city's best Korean fried chicken there's nothing like a chilly walk to a chill place to have a chill dessert to counter all that savory deep fried goodness. Ice cream is a remedy for many things and this place has your cure. Yes, Ed's is that place and with the variety of ice cream and gelato perhaps you get the picture. The race to get yourself from Broadview to Logan is now on... get to Ed's before they close and that's what they did. Finally getting through the doors we were welcomed by a rainbow of choices, flavors you may not have heard of and staples that are as classic as just about any other place. The realization is that yes you have to make a choice since the place is closing at 9pm. Of course not every visit here could be that close to closing and perhaps you'd have time to sit, absorb the treat, have a seat and just enjoy your frozen goodness. As I usually do I go with the two scoop choice of hazelnut and lemon gelato. I don't know what it is but I always go to those two flavors regardless of where I have gelato provided they have these relatively staple and standard flavors and yes, Ed's Real Scoop has these I mean seriously why wouldn't they? In what seemed to be a pretty generous serving of a cold treat on a cooler evening, having to leave was such a shame. You know you're Canadian when you're eating ice cream or gelato outdoors at night in temperatures just above freezing on a "damp" cool night. With the amount of places to eat on Queen East between Broadview and Jones this location is sort of neutral and can be accessed by foot and it probably the perfect brisk walk one needs after having a big dinner in a comfortable spot. I could see how this trek would be even more of a treat if it was summer and blazing hot but even in the relatively cold of winter you can (and you should) pop in for a sweet treat... I mean why wouldn't you want to? read more
