Summer’s Ice Cream is Yorkville’s most iconic ice cream parlour that has been serving up homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt since 1984. Owned and operated by the Tokey family, this multi-generational family business has been doing the same thing for more than 30 years and people are still lining up the stairs to get a scoop. Located in a lower level building just a couple steps down from Yorkville Avenue, Summer’s scoops up their legendary flavours to hundreds of customers every day. As a Yorkville institution, Summer’s is somewhere you might spot local celebrities looking for their ice cream fix. The expansion of Summer’s has grown to four locations, as well as moving into the retail market selling 500 ml tubs of favourites like lemon meringue or Credit River turtle in wholesale markets throughout the city.
