Friendly service and delicious ice cream!
I was overwhelmed by all the flavours and decided to be boring and go for plain chocolate. I didnt regret it at all because it was the best chocolate ice cream i've ever had. So creamy and full of flavour.
Worth every penny!
I want to go back and try all the other flavours now! -

We were looking for some ice cream/gelato in Yorkville to finished our night of drinking and eating with some desserts.....
Gelato up the street was charging $5 for a tiny cup. I know this is Yorkville, the playground of the "Rich and Famous" . Then I walked into Summer's Sweet Memories and find out their homemade ice cream is reasonably priced for $3.50 and served in a homemade waffle cone...This is my kind of place!!
The staffs here are nice and friendly... and I got some samples until I settle on Pistachio. It was really good, rich and creamy and with tons of real nuts inside. A little on the sweet side..but it is call Summer's Sweet Memories!!
Open passed midnight this Saturday night!
Summer's Sweet Memories is most unpretentious place in the Yorkville area!!Listed in: Icecream! Gelato! Fro Yo!, A Day in Yorkville!

Strolling through the Yorkville area on a too hot day in desperate need of a cool me down I stumbled upon a group on youngsters munching on ice cream cones. I followed the crowd of icecream laden youngsters down the stairs to heaven sent Summer's Sweet Memories.
A glass case of homemade ice creams awaited me. Two flavours jumped out at me as I browsed the tubs of flavours: Chocolate Peanut butter and Espresso Mud Pie. The server behind the case suggest I sample them, without hesitation I agreed.
Both flavours delicious Chocolate Peanut butter: a creamy milk chocolate icecream with ribbons of smooth peanutbutter woven through out.
Espresso Mud Pie: a rich robust coffee flavoured ice cream with chocolate slivers and something crunchy....i think it was toffee pieces.
I settled for the Espresso Mud Pie because it packed the punch in flavours and contrast in textures I love in ice cream.
Overall A really cute little ice cream parlor in the heart of Yorkville with great service and pop corn machine selling fresh made pop corn as well!!Listed in: Ice Cream, Gelato, Frozen…

Delicious -- worth every calorie!
My favourites are "Toronto Pothole" and Lemon sorbet.
Always a line-up but it's worth the short wait. SERVICE - wonderful. The staff is friendly and they offer a sample if you're not sure what you want. -

Hands down the best ice cream I've had in ages. In the heart of Yorkville, but don't let that fool you. Completely unpretentious, a little ma and pop looking shop with amazing handmade ice cream and waffle cones. Best part is the frozen yogourt that tastes just as flavourful as the ice cream but is low fat, and advertises the calorie count. My favourite is the Key Lime Pie @ 120 calories and 3 grams of fat - and tastes as good, if not better, than a real slice of key lime pie.
Lines can get busy in the summer but moves fast and gives you time to check out the wide array of flavours. For a foodie, it's the perfect mix of traditional and unique flavours. Also serves soft serve low fat ice cream, which will be my try on my next visit. -

I love, love, love this place. Fresh homemade ice-cream,...hey, they even make their own cones!!! Seriously, what's not to love about this place. Their flavors are amazing, service is fast and quick (when there's a line, it moves pretty quickly).
Unbeatable people and pet watching in Yorkville :)
Some flavors I'd recommend- the hazelnut, (with flecks of hazelnut mixed in), pistachio, strawberry and cream, lemon sorbet, and the key lime pie aka the 'healthy choice' at only a 120 calories per scoop. -

Summer's Sweet Memories is a nice little ice cream parlor in the Yorkville area. The ice cream is really good and the service is great.
*** FOOD ***
I ordered one scoop of chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone.
* Chocolate Ice Cream | $3.50 *
The ice cream was really good. It was rich and creamy. The scoop is really big. The waffle cone is crunchy and sweet.
*** SERVICE ***
The service is great. They are all very attentive and don't hesitate to ask you if you want a sample. There are lots of different flavors, so you might have trouble deciding. The staff look very pleasant and happy.
*** ATMOSPHERE ***
Summer's look like a traditional ice cream parlor with bright colors and a large display. The place is quite small and there isn't much seating area. The walls have several pictures of celebrities who have come for a taste of the ice cream.
*** PRICE ***
Pricing for a place that serves only ice cream is pretty good.
* Chocolate Ice Cream | $3.50 *
*** EXPERIENCE ***
Summer's Sweet Memories is a great place to come for an ice cream on a hot day. It looks traditional and has some interesting pictures on the wall to keep your interest. The ice cream is really good, so everyone should give it a try.Listed in: Sphenopalatine…

I was giving an out-of-town visitor a little tour of Toronto neighborhoods, and after a walk around Yorkville, we found ourselves in this delightful ice cream place. We tried the mint & chocolate chip and expresso flavors in these guilt-free mini cups and sat down at one of their small roundtables to carefully savor every bite. If you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to check this place out -- especially on a hot summer day.

If you are in the mood for dodging Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and overdressed girls teetering on 5 inch stiletto heels, you too can enjoy homemade ice cream in Yorkville.
The ice cream was soft and creamy.
They ran out of cheesecake flavored ice cream which saddened me.
I felt really rushed which I don't like but the place was packed.
Overall, it's a fun place to grab a scoop. -

Summer's in Yorkville took me back to another era. From the uniform of the counter-girl to the cute tables and chairs to the rich delicious ice cream, I felt like I was visiting an ice cream parlour from my childhood.
Today was my first visit, so I was only able to try the espresso chocolate flavour and it was DELICIOUS. A one scoop cup is about $3.50 but it was a generous scoop and I certainly didn't need more.
They had about 20 flavours, and maybe 6-8 different kinds of frozen yogurt/sorbets for the lighter choices. An array of different type of cones was also available. I'll be back.Listed in: Dining Near Yonge and Bloor

It's great ice cream place, I love the colors and flavours they have. Usually its pretty busy buy there are times when I have been lucky - the only one inside. I love their Hazelnut or Peanut Butter Ice creams... also have tried Chocolate Fudge - they all taste amazing. My only concern is price (even still, 1 scoop over $3 but pretty big) and service. Sometimes there is this girl working who never smiles and looks really mad. Once I wanted to get another scoop but hesitated because of the girl who works there, so didnt go back. I know its funny but it's also important who sells ice cream.

I haven't been here since high school and this was our dessert stop of the night after morcoco cholat was closed again for the second saturday in a row.
Although a long line up, it moves quickly. While in it, take a quick peek at what you want. The servic is efficient and very assembly line and logical which I like.
Oh yes, the ice cream. Homemade and I like it better than gelato. It's classic with cream in it. With the soft melty gelato texture. Perfect end to a hot summer evening.
If you get a cone, you don't have to pay extra for a waffle cone!
I got the chocolate chip and I loved that it was FULL of little chocolate solids. yum. -

Probably my favourite place for ice cream downtown. Gotta try the Strawberry Rhubarb or Strawberry Banana on one of their fresh and hot waffle cones.

What better a time to have ice cream then on a hot summer day after shopping with a friend? You can find this little place under another shop. Walk down a few steps of stairs and there you are. In front of an ice cream shop with a few tables outside under the shade. The homemade ice cream is delicious. I tried their chocolate and brownie ice cream on a waffle cone. It was their most famous from all their different flavors and I see why. The coldness of the chocolate is great with the chewy and sometimes slightly crunchy brownies. There are many other different flavors. Ranging from a different watermelon to rum raisin to simply chocolate. The price is expensive but I find it worth it. There are tables for you to sit at near the window and the staff of the family run business are very nice. Next time I am at the area I'll make sure to get another scoop of the chocolate brownie again.

lord is this place expensive!
that being said, it's one of very few places in toronto that has soft serve ice cream. no, yogen fruz does not count. the fro yo at summer's isn't even good but it's better than nothing. and the regular ice cream is ok-- good selection of flavours. the homemade waffle cones are delicious. if they're making them when you order, ask if you can get one right off the iron.
the ice cream is not impressive and the prices are high, but if you want ice cream in toronto this is probably one of your best (/only) options
if you have the time, dolce gelato on college st is better, but you'll need to hop on the streetcar.Listed in: i'm not your friend, guy
