Bar Ape Gelato

This little tiny gem of a ice-cream joint has been in the neighbourhood for some time now.nnOnly open during the summer months.nnThere is a reason why the line-ups stretch around the corner, because the ICE -CREAM IS AMAZING!nnSimple and quality ingredients.nnI ordered the Coconut and Pineapple Gelato, and it was amazing!nnGreat place and great customer service!

Gluten-Free Options: Yes, but not indicated on menu.nCross Contamination: Yes, can be a risknHalal/ Kosher Options: NonVegan Option: UnsurenVegetarian Options: YesnNut Free Options: YeanDairy Free: UnsurennFirst Impression: A pick up and go window. The window is decorated nicely and gives a hip vibe.nnFavourite: The banana soft serve and spicy mango soft serve. They were unique and not overly sweet!nnCritiques:The place only accepts cash! There is a convenient store near by that has an ATM. Also, there’s always a long line up so expect to wait! We were not fans of the strawberry or guava flavours. They did not give the same satisfaction as the others we enjoyed.nnBonus: The neighborhood around the area is beautiful and it’s a nice to take a walk around and eat your treats.nnTake Away: This place has so unique flavours that are worth trying.nnFollow on tiktok: @eatwithbuns

When we were visiting Toronto, the weekly features were Toronto yellow plum twist, toasted almond and smoke salt bar and bloody orange chocolate bar. The roasted almond and smoke salt bar was sweet and salty The orange creamsicle was good. We enjoyed the flavors we never had in Calgary!!nFrom Calgary Alberta.

We’ve lived in the area for about two years before we tried out Bar Ape’s soft serve and gelato bars. To be brief: we are converts.nI love that the flavors change every week and it’s a mix of classics and ultra seasonal/local.nWe’ve come here so far six times this summer and never had a bad time. Ontario sour cherry and brown butter is my favorite twist, but everything I’ve tried has been nothing but excellent.nYou can see the rigor and the love in everything - from the beautiful photos on their instagram to how fast and consistently good the service is.nI understand the line may be challenging for certain groups, but here’s a pro tip: Friday 5pm is the best time to come.nI’m happy I finally tried out this spot and I’ll be coming back many, many times!

Long line, quick service. Love the weekly flavour rotation.nnBar Ape offers adventurous and unique flavours passion fruit + guava twist and strawberry black pepper as examples at a reasonable price given the exceptional quality.nnTried the rhubarb sour cherry sundae on my first visit and can’t wait to explore the rest of the menu.
