But, in the summer, the soft-serve shops and sorbet parlours get seriously creative with their menus. From waffle cone tacos to watermelon ice cream sandwiches and cones topped with macarons, here are the best ice cream summer treats in Toronto you can get right now.

Watermelon Ice Cream Sandwich at Milkcow

This Korean dessert cafe releases a special treat every summer and it’s always a huge hit. The dessert is basically organic watermelon-flavoured milk soft serve sandwiched between two slices of fresh watermelon. It’s back for the season at the Toronto location and trust us when we say it’s as tasty as it looks.
