Cherry on Top Gelato & Cafe is a cherry-centric dessert shop and cafe located at the corner of Dundas Street West and Ossington Avenue. Taking over a long-standing bakery space on the bustling Ossington strip, the shop brings a playful, nostalgic atmosphere to the neighborhood marked by distinctive burgundy tiling and an interior designed with careful intention. The concept centers on house-made authentic gelato paired with espresso, coffee, and baked goods, offering a vibrant new stop for sweet treats in one of Toronto's most active dining and nightlife districts.
First-time visitors can expect an array of classic and creative gelato flavours, highlighted by combinations like the Cherry Amarena, which features vanilla bean and sour cherries finished with a generous layer of dark chocolate. In addition to dairy options, the cafe caters to various dietary preferences by providing vegan-friendly selections alongside its standard menu. Operating daily from morning through late evening, it serves as a versatile destination for a morning coffee, an afternoon sweet break, or a post-dinner dessert stop while exploring the west end.
