It’s summer! That means school’s out for the kids, hot days are here and people break out into a sweat after just a few minutes in the heat and humidity. When these lazy days arrive, there’s nothing in the world that feels quite as good as sweet, cool, delicious ice cream.
But if you’ve been working hard, and you want to treat yourself, you don’t have to settle for just any tub of ice cream from a grocery store or even a fast food chain. There are plenty of places in Mississauga that deliver a premium ice cream experience. Here are the top five places in town to go!

This one is located just outside Cooksville Hyundai, and we’re big believers in it! Canada is all about proudly supporting the cultural mosaic, and that includes food. This isn't your typical cone ice cream and sundae parlour, but instead, it serves “Patbingsu,” a Korean dessert that’s made of shaved ice and topped with a variety of different Asian sweets.
If you’re looking for something truly different and delicious that’s not priced like a haute cuisine dessert experience; we recommend you come down to Snowies Bingsu! Fruit toppings, cookies, and sweet syrups are all here. There’s a treat for everyone if you’re willing to try something new.
No, not Dairy Queen. Dairy Cream, on Lakeshore Road East, is a Mississauga institution, having been cooling down residents on hot summers since 1958.
The big feature here is the funnel cake, but be warned, there’s a reason this place has been around since the 1950s! Locals are all very aware that the best ice cream in Mississauga is here, so you might have to fight for a place in line if you want to sample the treats. But it’s well worth it!
If you’re in the Port Credit neighbourhood, this is definitely a place you want to stop by. Scoops Ice Cream is old school. They have customers coming at any time of the day, and that’s for one simple reason—they make their own ice cream.
This is another Mississauga original, not the latest chain store of a big franchise. So, you can get handmade, small-batch ice cream here, but you may have to be prepared for a wait. Scoops is a big fixture of Port Credit ice cream culture, and when summer arrives, everyone comes down here because it's closed during the winter. Things get a bit crowded on the weekend, but if you want a huge range of quality ice cream flavours and sorbets, you will want to visit Scoops Ice Cream.
Murphy’s is another seasonal ice cream joint for cold treats in Mississauga, so take advantage now while summer is here and the days are hot. Murphy’s Ice Cream Parlor is right on Main Street. It’s another of the old school Mississauga ice cream institutions that some people are now taking their grandchildren to to get the same ice cream that they were enjoying when they were kids.
It’s a small operation that’s well known in the area, so there may be a line, especially on those scorching afternoons and toasty evenings. But if you want some tasty homemade ice cream right in the heart of town, few places match this one. Just make sure you bring cash since they’re not taking credit or debit cards.
Our other contenders for best ice cream in Mississauga have all been local, smaller businesses, but we break the trend with this one. If you’re trying to escape the hot day, and you’ve retreated to the air-conditioned comfort of Square One Mall, then Sweet Jesus in the Square Food District is a great franchise option.
You don’t have to worry about the quality of the ice cream either. This franchise is local, having started in Toronto, and they still put the emphasis on handmade, small-batch ice cream. So, if you’re in the mall anyway and trying to cool down, definitely give this place a try! They’ve got some of the trendiest and tastiest ice cream in the city, and it may even be worth a social media share.
Cool down this summer with a sweet treat at one of these local Mississauga ice cream shops!
