The top new ice cream and gelato in Toronto signifies that summer has officially arrived, despite the fact that we can't celebrate it in all the usual ways. These new makers of cold treats are providing us with the comfort food we need right now.
Here are my picks for the top new ice cream and gelato in Toronto.
