# 🍦🦁 THE GREAT ST. CLAIR WEST ICE CREAM SAFARI! 🦁🍦

Six Sweet Stops, Hidden Gems & One Delicious Summer Adventure

Forget the zoo...

This summer, we're going on an Ice Cream Safari!
Join us as we explore one of Toronto's sweetest neighbourhoods, stopping at seven incredible dessert destinations along St. Clair West.

From authentic Italian gelato and Turkish ice cream to outrageous sundaes and one of the quirkiest cafés in the city, every stop has its own personality and something completely different to discover.

The stops are close together, which means this isn't about racing from place to place—it's about taking our time, sharing a few bites, discovering new favourites, and enjoying a fun afternoon with great people.

Nobody is expected to buy something at every stop.
Think of it as a dessert tasting adventure. Share with friends, sample something new, or simply enjoy the walk and the company.
The entire safari will take approximately 3 hours.
