    Waffle cones freshly made !
    Meena P.

    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!

    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 :)

    Small size, pistachio gelato and the london fog ice cream
    Clara C.

    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!

    Espresso and burnt marshmallow

    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.

    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.

    The waffle cone is amazing!
    David Y.

    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. So don't let my tastebuds stop you from supporting them, because a whole lot of other people really love them.

    Red Hot Chili Chocolate gelato and Burnt Marshmallow ice cream
    Chandelle And Matt K.

    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

    Kiddie size chocolate hazelnut ice cream
    Nathalie M.

    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.

    I had to give them a shout out this summer because of their super unique flavours! We got pistachio, apricot and pear. They were all super refreshing and tasted like the fruit. Highly recommend!!!

    One scoop of strawberry ice cream - amazing
    Tina D.

    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

    Chocolate peanut butter
    Bernie C.

    Whoa THAT is good ice cream! Coffee toffee and chocolate peanut butter fudge are fantastic. For us, Ed's beats Cow's, Kawartha, Baskin Robbins - it's pretty much the best ice cream we can remember having. So glad we discovered it.

    You better Ed over here and try this rhubarb ice cream

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

    If you like ice cream and an over the top experience this is the place to visit. I never knew a…read moreplace like this existed in Toronto, although I've always been fascinated by the exterior of this place. This is a frozen dessert emporium! With more ice cream and frozen yogurt flavours than you can imagine. And at least 20 waffle cone and bowl options. Looking at pictures from last year, it appears the waffle cone options change regularly as well. But they don't give you just any ice cream cone. They surprise you with additional toppings! How to feel like a kid again (except my kid who didn't appreciate the extra toppings). When we arrived, there was no line and I thought "why are there three people behind the counter?" From that point on there was a line up out the door. The place itself is a feast for the eyes. There is so much to look at, it's hard to focus on eating. Although ice cream and frozen yogurt are their specialty, they also have Dutch goods, popcorn and a wide variety of drinks. It does feel like a European cafe in the middle of Toronto. Fresh air blowing through the open doors. One interesting thing I learned is that the ice cream is kosher (the frozen yogurt is not?). Someone mentioned it was outlined somewhere on the outside of the building. Also, the only negative feature of this place is the number of bees both inside and outside. As someone terrified of bees, this was a nightmare. Thankfully, there is so much sugar around that they don't focus on anything for any significant length of time. This place is a gem in the city. It does not get enough recognition. You love ice cream? You need to check this place out!

    You have to love this place from the outside. It is colourful, ornate and just kid magnetic…read more Parking is hit and miss with street options only. It's tiny inside. Even with that there are 3 or 4 tables for to enjoy treat and about a dozen Jones and waffle bowl options to choose from. They even carried hard to find speculoos cookies from Holland, a childhood treat, that I 'scooped up' and appreciated. Staff was super friendly and happy to be serving, which was extra nice. A treat and special place for certain, but worth a stop by when your nearby.
