Best Gelato in Milton

"Since 1969, this family-run operation has refused to cut corners. Tom’s uses real cream instead of dehydrated milk, so their soft serve is ultra-creamy (unlike the watery truck stuff). It’s that rich cream that gives the soft serve its added heft, which allows Tom’s to pull gravity-defying cones."

"A post shared by Toms Dairy Freeze (@tomsdairyfreeze) on Mar 30, 2020 at 10:46am PDT. Enjoy Tom’s Dairy Freeze right from your couch. The popular ice cream joint is offering a menu with 10 of their most popular flavours in 1L tubs."

"This name isn’t a joke, and what this place lacks in square footage, it makes up for in ice cream portions. Place your order in the small space and choose from around 20 flavours of Hewitt’s Dairy ice cream. Enjoy mega scoops in a cone or cup, without the bells and whistles."

"If you’re looking for the most ice cream your dollar can bring you, Big Scoops is the place to go. Don’t let this parlour’s size make you think it doesn’t live up to the name. That image banner above is a “small” size."

"Big Scoops is now open and this is our go to Ice cream place. There are 18 flavors to choose from. You can have it in a cup or in a cone."

"A post shared by Tuyen Nancy Nguyen (@ajsugarbowl) on Mar 4, 2017 at 10:37am PST. Offering a dreamy selection of treats including bubble tea, cotton candy, and popcorn, A & J Sugar Bowl’s ice cream dessert selection is impressive, made with Chapman’s ice cream. Indulge in crepes, funnel cakes, waffles, sundaes, banana splits or a simple bowl of three scoops of your favourite kind for just $2.95."

"The ice cream was absolutely amazing and the waffle cones probably one of the best I've had in a long time. A fantastic little..."

"The folks at La Fromagerie in The Junction also run the shop next door, offering a slice of nirvana to local sweet teeth. It’s at Delight Ice Cream and Chocolates where you’ll find homemade marshmallows, a glass case filled with cookies, squares and chocolates and frigid freezer where seasonal scoops are served up on crunchy cones. Delight Ice Cream and Chocolates is owned by husband and wife team Jennifer Rashleigh and Jeff Brown."

"The recently moved gelateria serves up a multitude of flavours like chili chocolate, mojito and salted caramel in dairy-free, fat-free and vegan varieties. La Vizziata also sell authentic Italian treats like Sicilian cannoli. This business is featured in the following Smart Lists:"

"I originally stumbled upon Sweet Olenka’s as I was walking down Queen Street West one summer afternoon. Although Sweet Olenka’s isn’t 100% vegan, they had a great selection of vegan ice cream. Nowadays, they no longer have their Queen West location, but you can visit them in Etobicoke."

"Fairweather has only been open since May of 2017 but they have already established themselves as one of the top breweries in the city. They have ten taps with a constantly rotating selection of beers ranging from IPAs to sours, saisons to porters. If you find yourself in the McMaster area, this and Grain & Grit (only a two minute walk away) are musts for grabbing your craft beer fix."

"This brewery features a bottle shop and taproom, including a patio with 60 seats as well as 10,000 sq. ft. brewing facility. They offer different types of beer like oak-aged and fruited beers, classic continental lagers, IPAs, silky stouts and porters, and more."

"Towering at 41 metres, Tews Falls is the tallest waterfall in Hamilton and stands only a few metres shorter than the beloved Niagara Falls. Located in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area on the Niagara Escarpment, the slender waterfall cascades down into the valley below and offers spectacular vistas that change with the seasons. Marvel at Tews Falls from one of the viewing platforms before embarking on an uphill forested hike towards Dundas Peak."

"It’s part of the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, and it’s one main point of interest while hiking to the Dundas Peak. Tews Falls is the tallest waterfall in Hamilton at 41 metres (134 feet). To put it into perspective, the Horseshoe Falls of Niagara Falls stands at 51 metres high, and the American Falls is 36.5 metres at its highest point."

"Note: Spencer Gorge—which includes Webster Falls, Tew Falls and Dundas Peak—will remain closed until September 2020 due to COVID-19. Webster’s Falls is not the tallest, but is the largest falls around, and is super, super pretty!. The scenery is enhanced by the bridge over Spencer’s Creek right before the cascade of water."

"(Or maybe it only seems like a hidden gem because we’re from the other end of the city?) Either way, it’s a waterfall that’s not to be missed!. Located in Waterdown, it’s an impressive waterfall, whether you view it from the lookout platform, or take the trail down and view the waterfall from below. The path continues along the creek for awhile and is part of the Bruce Trail."

"And I’m not picking favourites here, but I’ve saved one of the best for last. The Smokey Hollow Waterfall is one of most easily accessible Hamilton waterfalls. Technically, this waterfall is in the town of Waterdown, between Dundas and Burlington."

"We love the fast-moving waterfall at Smokey Hollow for lots of reasons. It makes for great photos, has a convenient viewing platform, and is surrounded by the Bruce Trail. Parking is on Mill Street, not far from Highway 5 in Waterdown."

"One of the most famous waterfalls in the Dundas area, the curtain waterfall flows over tiered rock formations with beautiful panoramas. For the best view, visit during fall when the leaves start changing. To get to Webster Falls, park at Christie Lake Conservation Area and take the free shuttle (parking is $10 per vehicle PLUS $5 per passenger)."

"If you are in the area for Dundas Peak, you will be in Spencer Gorge Conservation Area – where you can also hike to both Webster Falls and Tews. You have to pay to park at/enter Spencer Gorge but it’s apparently very worth it. Tews is the tallest waterfall in the region with a size comparable to Niagara Falls!"

"Nestled in the heart of Westdale, Paisley has quickly become both a student and neighbourhood favourite. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, both or neither, Paisley is sure to have something to satisfy your appetite. While Paisley is known mostly for their delicious coffee and for being a prime study spot for McMaster students, the coffeehouse offers their customers a wide selection of goodies to munch on."

"Step back in time at this retro diner in downtown Dundas serving family friendly breakfast and lunches like fluffy pancake stacks and sweet and savoury crepes. Leave room for dessert with classics like banana splits and mile high sundaes. The kids will love the black and white checkered floors and swiveling counter stools."
