It's ultra-rich, super creamy, and just very, very tasty.

Cajeta Swirled Goat Cheese
It’s especially hard to describe robust earthy and tart flavour to goat cheese that makes it one of the most interesting and hard-to-resist cheeses. It’s the perfect level of savoury that when married with the right kind of sweet – like our artisanal ice cream base, makes for a full, creamy, and complex delicious flavour.
P.S. What is Cajeta? It's a thick milk caramel sauce made in Mexico made from goat's milk! That's right, goat milk caramel with goat cheese ice cream, how else would you come up with a GOAT flavour? 🐐
Double Baked Apple Pie
Starting with a deeply caramelized brown butter base, we've added in copious amounts of apple pie pieces and crunchy, toasty, cinnamon-y oat streusel. The delectable apple pie pieces are made in-house with a cinnamon crust and apple pie filling. Double baked, double tasty. Now this sounds like an apple-y ever after that even Snow White would be jealous of.
Nothing says fresh, bright, crisp summers like lemon curd from a lemon pie. To take that house made lemon curd and put it in ice cream is just right. Even better would be to pair it with a blend of house-made wild blueberry jam, well that would be something - something delicious

Frequently Asked Questions

There are a thousand ways to enjoy the best ice cream in Toronto. You can take it to the beach. You can eat it in bed, curled up to a movie. You can pick out the caramelly parts first, or let it get soft on the counter. You can scoop it next to pie, or pile it onto an espresso. The choice is yours! And when you visit our ice cream shop in Toronto, you can choose what type of ice cream to enjoy. Below are the three main menu categories at Scooped by Demetres.
Ice Cream Cups & Pints
The purest and simplest way to enjoy our artisan, gourmet ice cream is by ordering a cup or pint. When you visit one of our ice cream shops in Toronto, choose from several gourmet flavours – then decide whether you want an immediate eating experience (a cup of ice cream) or take-home enjoyment (an ice cream pint).Sorbettos
Who says a great ice cream needs ice and cream? If you’re in the mood for a refreshing scoop of luxury, try one of our sorbettos. Made with real fruits and botanicals, these treats might not fit the literal description of an ice cream, but they’re still one of the best scoops in downtown Toronto.Ice Cream and Waffles
This summer, Scooped by Demetres is hosting a pop-up waffle shop in the historic Distillery District. To enjoy a scoop of ice cream in Downtown Toronto alongside a decadent Belgian waffle, stop by the shop. Belgian waffles + a classic Toronto ice cream = a match made in heaven. Visit our page on ice cream waffles in Toronto for more info. -
We sure do! Our line of sorbettos is 100% vegan. Made with honest ingredients like fresh fruits, herbs and teas, they’re a plant-powered alternative to traditional gourmet ice cream. You can also find our sorbettos at any Demetres dessert place in Toronto.

At Scooped by Demetres’ ice cream places in Toronto, you’ll find a whole world of flavours – literally. We take inspiration from around the globe to concoct our artisan, gourmet, luxury ice cream.
Take “cajeta” as a prime example. Most Toronto ice cream shops haven’t even heard of this Mexican delicacy – a goat’s milk dulce de leche with nutty, slightly tangy undertones. But at Scooped by Demetres, we weave cajeta into an innovative artisan ice cream featuring a goat cheese ice cream base.
Elsewhere on the menu at our ice cream shop in Toronto, you’ll find outside-the-box flavours like Sicilian blood orange, roses, maple smoked sea salt, raspberry vinegar and basil. You’ll also find classic gourmet ice cream ingredients like dark chocolate, coffee, pistachios and hazelnuts.
