Gelato On The Danny & Espresso Bar

Best vegan ice cream I’ve had in Toronto outside of Honey’s. I eat dairy and usually choose that as vegan ice creams are often icy, just not as creamy, and sometimes even have a weird aftertaste. Not this one…. The pistachio was delectable, so creamy with a nice pistachio paste swirled in too. I seriously couldn’t tell it was vegan, it rivals some of my favorite pistachio gelatos in the city (Nani’s and Mizzica… and not Nani’s vegan which is one of the icy ones). I did get a bit of sticker shock at $22 for a pint, but I think it’s worth it. They generously gave cones with the pint too. They also have a very cute kiddie scoop for when you’re full but still want a few bites, probably 2-3 tbs serving in a little espresso cup. While I didn’t try it, I noticed they also have gluten-free cones. Service is friendly and I could tell they know their regulars. Very kid friendly and it’s a husband and wife family-run business. There was a small wait but it was because they were helping other people and they were really nice about it. Definitely worth visiting when you’re in the area, I will definitely bring back more pints for when I want ice cream and can skip the lactaid!

I ordered three flavours — pistachio, chocolate fondant, and mango — and they were all absolutely delicious! I’d definitely recommend this place to any gelato lover. The only small thing I’d point out is the sample spoon. When I asked to try a flavour, it was served with a metal spoon, which didn’t feel super hygienic. Maybe switching to disposable wooden or plastic ones would be better. Other than that, everything was great and I’ll happily come back again!

Best gelato store in the city 👌 Great service and the flavors omg!! You can tell they are made with lots of love

I am lactose intolerant and I haven’t had gelato that isn’t iced lemon in YEARS - but this place THIS PLACE has so many dairy free options (see my picture for today’s choices) and I have to tell you it made me shed a tear of joy to have hazelnut and vanilla. I will be back to try them all! (I had a taste of the lemon at the behest of the owner who makes it all in house, and yes the lemon was AHmazing too.)

Pistachio gelato was absolutely one of the best I’ve ever had—rich, creamy, and packed with authentic pistachio flavor. You can really taste the quality ingredients, and the texture was perfectly smooth. The service was also outstanding—super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The owner took their time to explain the different flavors which made the experience feel really personal and enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great gelato and warm, genuine service. I’ll definitely be back to get more pistachios!

The best tasting and variety of vegan gelato anywhere! Chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut, pistachio, strawberry, mango, lemon. And then special flavours like prickly pear and cantaloupe. Kathy and Sebastian are so friendly, and if you sneak a visit without your kids they will not say a word about it the next time you come in with your kid 😂 Worth the drive, walk, bike, subway to get here!

Gelato On The Danny & Espresso Bar — fresh, house-made gelato crafted by the father himself! Amazing flavours, rich taste, and super fresh. Can’t wait to come back soon!

We came here today to grab some gelato and had a few questions about the ingredients because of dietary restrictions. The man working at the front went above and beyond to answer any questions and make us feel welcomed. His amazing customer service made the experience truly welcoming, especially compared to other places where you sometimes feel hesitant to ask questions. The gelato itself was absolutely delicious and easily some of the best we’ve had! Thank you to the staff member who helped us, you were an absolute pleasure to speak with.
