What a beautiful little spot. I visited this location last night. Spring of 2026. Someone wanted ice cream. Not me. I originally said not for me. Then we walked in. Charming location, friendly staff. Once the scoops were being made, with all the flavours and options. It all looked so good. I couldn't resist. I had two scoops; one skor and skor chocolate. Ah! The flavours were spectacular. The cone was a dark chocolate dipped waffle cone. Mmmmmm! For someone who originally said no thanks ,not for me. I was not disappointed. I'm sure all the locals know of this place. if you are travelling to Kingston, make it a point to stop in and enjoy what maybe the best ice cream imaginable. read more

Mio Gelato - Skor ice cream, with dark chocolate dipped waffle cone! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

The lineup outside was enough to tell me that it'd be worth stopping by here. I debated between Mio Gelato and the other ice cream shop a few stores down, but after comparing the lineups, I opted for Mio and I have zero regrets. I ordered a pint and opted to go for the hazelnut flavor. They have quite a lot of options to choose from and that was overwhelming for me, as I had no idea what to get since eveeything sounded so good. Luckily they allowed me to sample to decide which flavor I want to go for. The pistachio was also really nice. There are some benches outside for you to enjoy your gelato. Service was quick and staff were nice. read more

Came here while staying in Kingston for the weekend. I have all but good things to say about this place. Service is fast, they had 3 people working taking the order. You can also stay inside the eat because they have a stand up table section on the side. You can order almost any flavour gelato and they make it so well here in my opinion! I didn't get to get the pistachio I wanted sadly because we spent a little too much already in here for everyone. The small scoop is two scoops and they are BIG scoops for $7.70. The best part is you can split them into separate cups per scoop. Huge plus! I will be coming here again and recommend everyone who enjoys ice cream to come here! read more

Ordered the chocolate gelato and it was really good, the perfect level of creamy and not too sweet. One of the better gelatos I've had in a long time. read more

If you travel to Kingston, Mio Gelato is a MUST stop. I went here for my birthday for a treat. The shop is so cute and very clean. They have so many flavours of gelato. This makes it hard to choose, but also makes one want to return to try others. I ended up with the chocolate pudding plus a scoop of coconut in a small cup. Tasted just like a Mounds bar. I mean it was delicious. Very high quality ingredients for sure. There was a Pride flag in the window, love supporting businesses who support inclusion and make a safe space. There are also benches outside to sit and eat your gelato and look at the water across the street. This is in downtown. The day was very hot, so this was a refreshing treat. There was always a line when I walked past, so you know I'm not the only one who loved it. Do make sure you get lots of napkins on a hot day, especially if you order a cone. I am traveling to Kingston again in October and can't wait to try other flavours. This is a must do in downtown Kingston. Absolutely delicious! read more

This was such a cute little Gelato spot near the Kingston waterfront. It seems like it's the go-to spot in downtown Kingston for gelato since the place got packed but service was very efficient and the line moved pretty quickly. The gelato was delicious and had good portions. They had a good variety of flavours to choose from to your heart's content. I ended up getting the Pistachio and the Earl Grey which were both excellent and provided a nice contrast from each other. There are a few benches outside to sit, but really it's steps away from the waterfront where it can be enjoyed especially on warmer days. read more

Busy, right beside Woodenheads, lotsa flavours to choose from, nothing crazy. Some metal benches out front to enjoy your gelato. It was around $6 for a small cup w/ 2 flavours. Flavours were ok, not super pronounced, hence the rating. Not super creamy. I don't think there was another ice cream/gelato place downtown, so not much competition. read more

Mio Gelato - a neon sign that says gelato's always a good idea - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

Stopped by Kingston on our way to Montreal and had to try Mio Gelato even though it was cold and rainy (always a good time for ice cream). We grabbed the chocolate mint and the chocolate Skor flavoured gelato. 1) Chocolate Mint I'm a huge fan of mint ice cream (not a lot of us out there) and it's different from chocolate mint. I enjoyed this one and the gelato was thick and flavourful. The hint of the mint was nice and not too much. 2) Chocolate Skor I somehow enjoyed this gelato more than the chocolate mint one. Maybe I should have gotten another flavour that's not chocolate. Maybe when I head to Montreal again. I would also want to try their sorbet and frozen yogurt. read more

How have I not reviewed Mio Gelato yet?! I've been coming here for years (pretty much since they opened) and have always enjoyed their Gelato. Right now, there are COVID protocols in place of course but they've got the waiting and ordering set up well thought out. My fave flavours include salty peanut, chocolate peanut butter, coconut and anything seasonal (peach, strawberry, etc) but they do rotate what's available at any given time. They also offer tubs of Gelato to go. If you're into chocolate and cones, try their housemade dipped waffle cone to elevate your Gelato experience - it's so good! Until next time, Mio Gelato! read more

I like ice cream and I'm not too picky, but this felt like a whole other level. There are soon many different flavors and I tried a bunch. Everything tasted amazing. No surprise that there's a big lineup to order. My personal favoure was the salted peanut. I'd go again for sure when I'm around. read more

Mio Gelato - So many flavors! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

This is easily the best ice cream spot in Kingston! The flavors are spot-on, the service is quick and efficient, and the shop itself is absolutely adorable and charming. With so many flavors to choose from, there's something for everyone. My personal favorites are Raspberry Cheesecake, Pistachio, and Cereal Milk. read more

In need of dessert, we searched in the area and found Mio Gelato. We were actually looking for frozen yogurt when Mio popped up. They do seem to be firmly in the gelato camp with fewer options for frozen yogurt. They have two big display cases of the different flavours but they are both the same. You have a choice between a cup or a cone and the cones come in certain varieties including waffle. We were able to pick two flavours for our cup so and picked rocky road and cookies and cream. In the display case you can see a lot of toppings on the top of the rocky road so you could get an idea of what was in there. I wondered if the toppings would be as will dispersed throughout as well because I was really looking forward to chocolate and marshmallow. Individually I enjoyed the cookies and cream a bit more but together they were super tasty. read more

Mio Gelato - a display of different flavors of gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

Tried the Tiramisu and the Raspberry Crunch Cheesecake. Tiramisu was alright. Raspberry Crunch Cheesecake was fantastic. The portion size was good for the price (about $8 for a two-flavor cone), enough so that I ended up sharing it with someone else. The stark difference between the quality of the two flavors is the reason I can't give it 5 stars. On top of being just overall underwhelming, it does seem like Tiramisu was being stored properly. It was half melted by the time it touched my cone. read more

I loved this place, its been a month however that quality dropped for some reason. The cone tastes weird and the scoops are watery and don't taste fresh anymore. Was a loyal customer but have decided to stop going here. read more

I have yet to be disappointed by this waterside beauty of a gelato shop! As someone who doesn't seek out dairy, I've been incredibly impressed by the non-dairy gelato, especially the Chocolate Puddin' and local Strawberry flavours. At first, I thought the price was a bit high, but then I saw the quantity you are given for a "single" serving and the price suddenly seemed entirely fair! The staff do not short you on deliciousness. In addition, the store's sandwich board outside always has fun lettering and great puns to make the experience extra sweet. read more

This place is Fantastic-o! (Is that a word in Italian? hahahaha!) My husband and I visited the Canadian Thousand Islands over Labor Day 2021, and visited adorable Kingston while in the area. It was a hot day along the river front, so what better way to cool off and admire the views, than by ordering some Mio Gelato?!?!? TASTY gelato!!! And super COVID protocols with limiting the number of customers in the shop, everyone masked, plexiglass between service areas for customers, and plexiglass between the customers and staff. We enjoyed everything, from start to finish, at Mio Gelato! Hope you'll go! read more

Mio Gelato - Pistachio - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

It was my first time in Kingston and came across this place after dinner. I was there on a Sunday and 90% of the stores are closed after 5 pm so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this spot was opened. I'm a huge ice cream fan, I usually don't opt in for gelato because I feel like usually the flavours are limited. But that wasn't the case at all with Mio Gelato! They had an amazing variety. I tasted a few flavours but ended up with the pistachio and mini egg cheesecake. The pistachio was amazing. Filled with pistachios and had a stein pistachio flavour. The Mini egg cheesecake flavour didn't taste like cheesecake at all but was still delicious. This spot is also very close to the waterfront, highly recommended! read more

This place has amazing gelato. There are tons of flavors to choose from and it is natural too.

Great place! The gelato was very good and the service was fantastic. The portions are large compared to other gelato places I've frequented, for the same price you get great quality gelato in abundance. The only drawback from this location is the lack of classic flavours. They did not carry vanilla gelato nor a classic strawberry. They do have a number of specialty and complicated flavours, so if you enjoy that then this place is great for you. Unfortunately I prefer simple flavours but I still enjoyed the dessert thoroughly. read more

First time and Kingston and my best friend recommended it. They have lots of amazing flavours to choose from. I got the passionfruit and strawberry which was delightful totally loved! Would recommend the passionfruit My friend got the chocolate skor she said it tasted pretty good as well :) Kinda expensive for just gelato but nonetheless it was worth read more

Mio Gelato - Strawberry & passionfruit and chocolate skor gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

Stopped in here for a mid-afternoon snack while walking around beautiful Kingston. I'm not usually a huge fan of gelato, so I wasn't really expecting much, but WOW did this place impress! I decided to get two scoops: one mojito and one passionfruit, and both were AMAZING. These fruity flavors made the perfect pair - both really complimented each other! I would highly recommend getting both together if you're looking for something refreshing and tart. Service was fantastic. There was definitely a line, but staff worked really well together to make sure they kept things moving. If you're in the area, definitely check this place out! They have a ton of flavors, all reasonably priced. Although I'm a huge advocate for the mojito and passionfruit - I'm sure all of their flavors would be a win! read more

Mio Gelato - 2 scoops: Mojito and Passionfruit! AMAZING!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

A must visit spot in the summer for any Kingston local as well as tourists. There is an incredible selection of flavors that are seasonal and regular to the menu. It is right across from the Town Hall area so a lovely environment to stroll around with family and friends to eat your ice cream on a nice day. It is so good, I know locals that come in the winter because it is so tasty. read more

This place has so many gelato flavours! The regular size can get a maximum of 2 flavours. I like how there are 'Favourite Flavour Combos' on the board to help us choose our flavours - for example... Cookie Monster is a mix of cookie dough and cookies and cream. I got rocky road and pistachio in a cup and I was DELIGHTED! The chocolate gelato was strong and heavy which I love mixed with nuts and marshmallows. The pistachio was good but the nutty flavour could be stronger... that might be a personal taste. The girls working there are nice and patient, especially since I tried a couple of flavours (I'm kind of indecisive:p). All in all, would I be back? YES! read more

Great little stop in the heart of Kingston. Food:5/5 Many different flavors. Service: 4/5 Okay. Environment: 4/5 Super busy in hot days. Washrooms: N/A Worth it?: 4/5 Stopped by this little shop for Gelato during an impromptu trip to Kingston. It was an extremely hot day and it was exactly what we needed. The flavor selection is very big. I initially asked for recommendations. The person there seemed off guard and I picked random flavors. I went with lemon basil and mojito. They may have been great flavors separately but it was white sweet and sour together. Will have to try my luck again next time I am In town. read more

Amazing gelato!! The price is absolutely worth it for the portion! The small is a lot even if it does not look like it. Great location by the waterfront! read more

Best gelato in Kingston! We love our gelato. It is perhaps the most refreshing dessert on this planet - which is why we were so excited to find this delectable spot in Kingston. We have tried just about every flavour on this vast menu. Here are some of our favorites: - mango: a classic, smooth and creamy. - salty peanut: has real toasted peanuts that provide a tasty crunch to each scoop - raspberry: great balance of tartness and sweetness HOT TIP: if you're going with a friend with similar taste, it's much more economical to get the pint. read more

Cutest little gelato shop on Kingston's famous waterfront! A few different sizes (cones and cups), and you get to choose two flavors (or a generous helping of one). My favorite combo is chocolate puddin' and raspberry (delicious combo of sweet and tart), but it's hard to resist the Hazelnut as well! Complimentary gummy bears are a nice touch. So many options! A perfect summer treat! Sometimes the line is out the door on prime-time summer evenings, but it's worth the wait! read more

Gem of a place. Black currant gelato? SOLD!! Chipper staff. Big portions. No downside to this local hangout. To those 1 star naysayers - in this case busy means something. GOOD gelato. It also means FRESH gelato. Back for seconds soon. Recommended for sure. read more

Kingston needed this place long ago, but I'm happy it arrived! Awesome staff (taste as many as you want, they don't mind), and a great range of both traditional and non-traditional flavours. In my opinion, the pistachio, cappuccino and coconut are must trys while the traditional raspberry is outstanding. If you liked gelato while visiting Europe (who doesn't?) you'll think this is a pretty good home turf substitute. If you're not sure what to think, go try it out - you'll never go back to anything else! Get two flavours for about $4.50 or upgrade to large for three flavours for about $5.50. Trust me - the extra dollar is worth it. read more

This is a good place. They have a variety of different gelatos and ice cream. The popular ones are gone by the afternoon.

An amazing place to get gelato. The regular comes with 2 flavours of gelato generously piled on waffle cones and there are so many great flavours to choose from. There's a board full of suggested flavour combos if you're overwhelmed by all the options and the staff is also really friendly. Absolutely worth a visit if you're in Kingston. read more
