You know what your grandpa says about always having room in your stomach for dessert? I believe that to be true. As someone who loves food, and loves exposing my friends and family to new foods, dessert is just as important as all those savoury, meal-time dishes.
The best thing to do after a meal is find a good dessert place, and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has some of the best. From French to Japanese to fusion, these dessert places probably have what you’re looking for: sweet and decadent desserts to fulfil those cravings. 1. Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery | 93A Ossington Ave, Toronto, ON M6J 2Z2 Whether you’re looking to indulge in an ice cream sandwich, cookies or an entire pint of house-made ice cream, Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery has everything from baked goods to interesting flavours of ice cream. They offer flavours like “Golden Oreo” and “Burnt Toffee,” with the option of eating it from a cup, a waffle cone or in one of their fresh cookies as a sandwich. Not feeling ice cream? That’s totally fine, you can purchase their cookies by themselves or a cinnamon roll. Make sure you plan when you visit Bang Bang, the line to get your hands on their delicious desserts is usually around the block. 2. Daan Go Cake Lab | 241 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON M5T 3A8 Opened by Canada’s 2021 Masterchef on season 7 of the show, Christopher Siu wanted to combine his East Asian Heritage with his upbringing in the west to create tasty desserts. Daan Go Cake Lab makes edible treats like macarons with faces, tiramisu, and different flavours of cakes, as well as drinks like Thai milk tea and a cold brew espresso: creamy Tira-Meow-Su. You can also buy entire cakes for special occasions and novelty treats like cake in the shape of a succulent plant or a bathtub. 3. Dainties Macaron | 235 Spadina Ave. Unit 2, Toronto, ON M5T 2E2 Unlike many other dessert places, Dainties Macaron focuses on one single food: macarons. With over 20 varieties of macarons, you can choose from East Asian-influenced treats like the Vietnamese Coffee and Hong Kong Milk Tea flavours, or pick a branded flavour like Oreo and Froot Loops Milk. What’s unique about Dainties Macaron is the macaron ice cream sandwich. They are constantly adding new flavours, so it’s worth going over there more than once. 4. Fugo Desserts | 265 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1Z4 To inspire their unique desserts, Fugo Desserts draws from flavours around the world to bring you a new experience with every taste. Originally Fugo served ice cream only, but has since expanded to a diverse range of treats. Among their ice creams are fruity and creamy options like Tropical Paradise, the classes Cookies N’ Cream or the Boba Flotea HK. Fugo also specialises in mini doughnuts with flavours like Cookie Monster, Strawberry Pocky and Creme Brulee. While you’re there, try one of their drinks, which include teas, coffees and juices. 5. Mon K Patisserie | 1040 Coxwell Ave, East York, ON M4C 3G5 Looking for more of a flour-based snack? Check out Mon K Pâtisserie located in East York.
