Great soft-serve ice cream spot. They offer weekly changing flavors, which keeps things interesting. We tried the banana pie, pistachio, and pomegranate, and everything was delicious. The texture of the ice cream was excellent — smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. At around $7 each, the price felt pretty fair as well.

The only downside was the size of the cup. The ice cream melts quite quickly, and once it starts melting, the middle section causes it to overflow from the sides and get messy very fast unless you eat it within a few minutes of it being served. It wasn’t even a hot day, and it still became difficult to manage.

Other than that, it’s a great spot with quick service at the window, and we’ll definitely be back.

To say I’m obsessed with this place is an understatement. I came last night at 9:50pm on a chilly night and there was still a lineup. The line moves fast tho. Tried their gelato bars for the first time, sooo goood. Went back 5 minutes later to buy more

Just try it!! Don’t sleep on their take away cups either. Toasted coconuttttt 🔥

Oh, I might be a little late, but you can wait until next summer is get a lick of their silky smooth soft serve that glides effortlessly. The brown butter adds a nuanced, nutty richness that elevates the base milk flavour. The sour cherry swirl brings a bright, refreshing tartness and genuine cherry acidity, providing a lively counterpoint to the buttery notes and creating a harmonious blend. Their gelato bars get even better - a dual-layered pistachio delight. The inner gelato is creamy and aromatic, with a pronounced pistachio flavour that’s bolstered by the crunchy outer coating, its fragrant nuttiness dissolved in a sea of rich milkiness.

One of the best gelato spots in Toronto! Love the weekly fresh selection of gelatos that change with seasonal fruit that is available. Every time I’ve been it has been awesome. Even though the lines are long, they move quick! Worth the wait for sure.

One of the best soft serve we have had. The soft serve was creamy and unique flavors. We tried toasted rice and Apple cider twist. It’s a take away and cash only place.

During a recent visit to Bar Ape, we were treated to some truly remarkable soft serve. We opted for the special, a Peaches & Cream twist, which artfully combined Ontario peach and sweet cream flavors. We also indulged in the Matcha soft serve. Both choices were exquisite and demonstrated a clear commitment to quality ingredients. The matcha was a standout, presenting a distinct and authentic flavor that balanced beautifully with the soft serve's inherent sweetness. Similarly, the Peaches & Cream was a triumph, its vibrant fruit notes instantly recalling the simple pleasure of eating a perfectly ripe, juicy peach. 10/10 would eat again.

Worth the hype. Some of the best gelato I had in Toronto. Line moves quick. Dark Chocolate was unreal!!! If they could ever offer dairy free options, this place would be even better.

First of all, I love this place so much ❤️ I have visited place more than 10times and they were always kind and welcoming. I love how they combine unexpected flavours and create something extraordinary! Every time I visit there I always try at least 3 different flavours 😂 I think the prices are reasonable because it’s fresh made, clean ingredients, and vegan options. I don’t understand some people think this place would be same as other ice cream places 🤨✋ because it’s NOT. I promise that this place is different than other places. This place is cash only so make sure to bring cash or you wouldn’t get this ice cream from heaven. The last time I went the prices went up to 7dollars (?) but it’s worth it. The portion is bit small but I think it’s good because if you have too much ice cream your stomach wouldn’t feel good. I think they adjusted portion very well making us crave more but leaving us with refreshing taste! Bar Ape ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! There was no wait and even if there is it was about 10minutes! (Raspberry/Pistachio/matcha sundae/lime/guava/and more ❤️) *the flavours change! Make sure to try as many time as you can***

Friend had weekly soft serve and I had the strawberry and raspberry sundae. Their sundae was so good - the strawberry/raspberry puree (?) at the bottom tasted so fresh.
Would love to go back to try their ice cream bars and other flavors. Definitely worth going out of your way for a visit
Cash only!!!

Honestly disappointed. I drove by with a friend a few weeks ago and noticed a very long line. Was intrigued and made a visit today. I discovered that "gelato" was served in the form of soft serve. For $6, I was served a very small quantity with only 2 flavour options. Being of Italian origin, what I ate is a disservice to places like Mizzica who have a much better understanding of Italian gelato. If you are looking for a true Italian 'gelateria, consider the latter. I will not be going to Bar Ape ever again.

The gentleman behind the counter have a calm, yet fun and friendly demeanour. The gelato of course is cool (both in temperature and flavours) and everything I tried was delicious!

Had the chance to try the sour cherry and brown butter gelato, which were both very tasty! Definitely would go back to try other flavours.

This is a super sweet little spot open from spring to fall. The focus is on fresh Ontario flavours as well as fan favourites. Every day is a different day with 2 great soft serve flavours as well as bars and a ice cream laden scone. Bar Ape is peanut free so it is fun that they serve sesame instead.

I love Bar Ape!

I’ve been coming here ever since they opened. By far the best gelato in th city. They have new flavours every week to go along with their staples. Grapefruit was my favourite.
