I’ve tried so many ice cream and gelato places, but nothing beats Bang Bang.
Every single flavor here is mind-blowing, and despite the endless flow of customers and how busy they are,
all the staff members are incredibly kind and sweet.
My friend and I tried the Matcha Tiramisu, Lo Yogurt and Bobopapa Milk Tea, and they were all absolute perfection!
I seriously recommend having them with a waffle too!

This place deserves “world number one ice cream”!!!! All the tea flavours are so authentic and strong!!

I ordered Hong Kong milktea and Jasmine with Matcha; I strongly recommend jasmine with Matcha, this is the best tea flavour of ice cream I ever had! It’s not sweet and it feels so refreshing with strong aftertaste of the green tea. I can even taste the real tea leaves in the scoop! The milktea is smooth as well! I like the bubble waffle, it’s freshly made and it’s crispy outside and soft inside.

My friend ordered the Bible waffle too and she got Earl Gray at the bottom of the scoops, which is good too!

This ice cream totally worths the price (with $9.5 for 2 big scoops of ice cream with the bubble waffle)

We went there on a random Tuesday afternoon but still there’s a long queue before we got our order; which proves how popular the shop is!!!!

For sure I will be coming back and try other tea flavours too!

Tiny but amazing! We had seen Google reviews and swung a detour to Ossington after visting the AGO. It was worth the trip and will be a definite stop next time we are in Toronto.
The cookies* are properly home baked flavour, texture and look. (Scrummy) The ice cream was to die for. I had London Fog (richly sweet/bitter chocolatey coffee depths) and the butter mint, and my wife had Burnt Toffee and Smores.
* other options are available inc waffles or simply simple scoops

Its busy but the queue moves quickly so grab your Ice Cream 'sammie' and either sit outside or walk down Ossington and enjoy.

This is a must visit for anyone who likes ice cream (thats everybody right?).

Bustling ice cream place with many flavours and yoghurt options as well. You can make an ice cream sandwich either one cookie or two cookies with two scoops of ice cream. Had the burnt toffee and miso and roasted red cherry ice cream both were delicious. They don’t sell the cookies on their own. They keep them for the ice cream sandwiches.

Long lineup on Saturday afternoon but line moved fast. A bit of wait for waffle (10 min) to make fresh. The waffle texture was too soft (I only like crispy waffle). Staff was nice and I was prompted the same 18% tip on the bill.

My friend told me she's never been to the Ossington and not gotten Bang Bang ice cream. And DAMN I can see why. I got the single scoop half and half, which is basically a single scoop portion with 2 flavors. The first flavor i got was the Miso Cherry. Truly so unique! I didnt know what to expect with miso ice cream?? But it tasted almost cheesy, while being distinctly miso flavored-- which paired perfectly with the sweet tart cherries. The 2nd flavor i got was a ube coconut. It was delectibly coconut creamy with small bits of coconut! I'm a Filipina who takes ube very seriously, and they definitely don't stinge out on the ube!!! Both scoops 100/10! This place has become my new favourite ice cream shop in the city!

Best icecream flavours I've had easily. My favourite is the matcha and jasmin combo. You get the tannen dryness that a good green tea has which pairs so well with a cream Ly icecream

You must get the unique waffle cone with it. So amazing.

Ice cream is really good especially the banana pudding and totaro. Staff are pretty kind but I saw the same lady who’s also at Bakerbots baking (I assume she’s the owner of this store or a manager) and to be honest that’s the only complaint I have. She never smiles, and she’s very cold towards the customers.

Tiny space but Big flavours. This location has been here forever, and even on the coldest of winter days, this tiny space is packed with customers craving flavour bursts.

PLEASE LOOK AHEAD ON THE MENU TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO ORDER. The lineups are huge, and it's frustrating hearing a grown adult not know what flavour ice cream they want.

We got the half ice cream on a chocolate chip cookie, with Ube ice cream and the banana puddin' custard. The cookie was crispy and chewy. Such a nice surprise.

We got a plain bubble waffle cone with butter mint (mint chip without the green food colouring) I will add that the mint was rich and strong. Exactly how I like it. Unafraid to really stand out. And the Lampone My Loves was a raspberry base we found refreshing and delightful

Always a winning ice cream experience.

Really enjoyed visiting this ice cream shop. They make their own unique flavors, and the quality really shows in the taste. It’s great to see they also offer eggless options along with gluten-free and vegan choices, making it a nice spot for everyone to enjoy. The variety may be small, but the flavors are delicious and well made. Overall, a very good experience and definitely worth a visit if you enjoy quality ice cream.

Stopped by Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery and finally got to try their matcha and pistachio ice cream. There’s almost always a lineup here whenever you walk by, but honestly the wait moved pretty quickly and only ended up being around 10 minutes, which felt very reasonable considering how popular the spot is.
Both flavours were really solid. The matcha had a strong earthy flavour without being overly bitter, giving it a nice balanced taste that still felt creamy and refreshing. The pistachio stood out too with a rich, nutty flavour that tasted more natural and less artificially sweet compared to a lot of other pistachio ice creams. The texture on both was smooth, dense, and creamy without feeling too heavy.

The atmosphere around Ossington always adds to the experience too, especially on a nice day when the whole area feels busy and lively. After finally trying it, I can definitely understand why there’s consistently a lineup outside. Overall, a great dessert spot that’s worth the short wait.

Worth the wait! We had dinner across the street and debated skipping it because of the line, but so many people told us it was worth it, and they were right. We tried the cookie ice cream sandwich and the waffle one, both were so good. The cookie sandwich was unreal. Our favourite flavours were definitely the cinnamon and burnt toffee. We also tried the tiramisu, which was good, but didn’t totally blow us away compared to the others. Definitely a spot we’d come back to!

Absolutely my best recommendation for artisan ice cream. The flavour choices, the ingredients quality is fantastic. They have flavours like burnt toffee, banana pudding, matcha, Ube, earl grey. The selection will literally have you confused. And the best part they give you options to combine your ice cream scoop with freshly baked cookies ( called Sammie’s) , egg waffle cones or a delicious banana bread. Must try if you are crazing a dessert.

I tried a bubble waffle cone with boba milk tea ice cream and chocolate hazelnut ice cream, both flavors were delicious and the waffle cone was the perfect warm and cozy treat for the season! My partner got the Cinnamon Toast ice cream, which was unfortunately a miss. It was too sweet and just tasted like someone dumped a bunch of cinnamon into milk, there was no real flavor.

Overall, I’d recommend checking the reviews for the most recommended flavors before you buy something here, since there was no sampling allowed (which is strange for an ice cream shop!)

Service was friendly and quick.
