Ice cream sandwiches in Toronto make the perfect summer treat, and lucky for us, the city has loads of places that make them. From your basic cookie sandwiches to more creative offerings, chances are there's an ice cream sandwich out there with your name on it.
Here are my picks for the top ice cream sandwiches in Toronto by neighbourhood.
Annex
At Dirty Bird you can indulge in waffle ice cream sandwiches, including one topped with peanut butter and jelly and another stuffed with sweet potato ice cream and candied pecans.
Beaches
Ed's Real Scoop now sells ice cream sandwiches in a variety of flavours, including butter pecan and rum raisin.
Chinatown
Macarons and ice cream are match made in heaven at Dainties Macaron. Macaron sandwiches are served up in Korean-style flavours like injeolmi and jasmine tea.
Corktown
Cafe and ice cream parlour Old Town Bodega is bringing this neighbourhood gigantic ice cream sandwiches. Ice cream is scooped between two sticky, sugary toffee coffee chocolate cookies.
Danforth
Ice cream cones aren't the only things that can be dipped at La Diperie. Opt for a cookie ice cream sandwich and then dip it.

After you're done dining at Joe Bird, make your way to The Fix Ice Cream Bar to end the evening on a sweeter note. Beyond epic cones, they're doing what they've dubbed a 'cookie sammich,' which is loaded with ice cream, chocolate dip and sprinkles.
Kensington Market
Koishi is a dessert shop bringing Toronto all of Japan's ice cream sandwich trends. A must-try is their melon pan.

Old school malt shop Bean and Baker does made-to-order sandwiches, where Kawartha Dairy ice cream gets paired with a cookie and toppings.
