Where to Find the Best Ice Cream in Mississauga This Summer
With so many different options for ice cream in Mississauga, it was pretty difficult to narrow down our list to just 14! We tried to provide a variety of different types of ice cream, as well as highlight small local businesses when we could.
1. Murphy’s Ice Cream
Murphy’s Ice Cream is a Streetsville staple. Having been around for 40 years, this iconic ice cream shop needs no introduction for Mississauga residents.
Located in the heart of Streetsville, Murphy’s is home to a variety of frozen treats. From soft serve to hard ice cream, slushies, sorbets, frozen yogurt, gelato, sundaes, 30 different types of milkshakes, and icebergs (a mix of ice cream and slush), it’s always a difficult decision on what to order!
Not only will you find a ton of ice cream flavours at Murphy’s, but you will also find a good selection of cones, and a variety of toppings to choose from. Ice cream flavours like chocolate chip cookie dough, mango, rocher gelato, watermelon, cotton candy and pistachio are all popular choices.
And their in-house dipped waffle cones, gluten-free cones, and sugar cones are the perfect bases for your custom creation. With toppings like chunks of cheesecake, cotton candy, popping candy, salted caramel, spiced apple pie and more, your unique creation will be complete
Murphy’s is extremely popular with the locals, so don’t be surprised to see a line out the door on weekends, or on beautiful hot summer days. And although there is no indoor seating, you will find plenty of spots outside to enjoy your ice cream, and maybe some live music, right in the Streetsville Village Square.
2. Scoops Ice Cream
If you are looking for a great place to find handmade ice cream in Mississauga, look no further than Scoops Ice Cream in Port Credit. Just be aware, that this iconic little shop gets really busy on summer weekends!
Scoops offer small-batch ice cream that is made right in the store. And they have everything from over 30 flavours of ice cream to frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbet, milkshakes and sundaes.
Buy it in a cup or cone, we are pretty sure you won’t be disappointed with the amazing flavours or generous portion sizes.
3. Shake It & Co.
Located in Malton, Shake It & Co. is a small dessert bar serving a variety of sweet treats. From Bubble Waffles to milkshakes, sundaes, funnel cakes, churros and iced coffees, you definitely have enough options to choose from.
Just keep in mind, that there is no seating available at Shake It & Co. Take your dessert to go, or on a nice day, maybe head across the street to Paul Coffey Park and enjoy your treats there.
But before you leave, don’t forget to snap the perfect Instagrammable pic in front of Shake It & Co.’s photo wall!
4. Eva’s Originals
Finding amazing ice cream in Mississauga is not difficult, but there aren’t too many spots where you can get a cone that is completely out of the ordinary. If we have captured your attention, head to Eva’s Original Chimney’s where donut cones are their specialty.
At Eva’s, chimney cakes are from sweet dough that has been cooked on an open rotisserie grill. They make the perfect pastry cone to fill with soft-serve ice cream, then cover with sauces and toppings.
At Eva’s, you can either dream up your own flavour combination for your Chimney Cone or choose one from their awesome menu. With flavours like Birthday Cake, Tiramisu, Matcha KitKat Crunch, Apple Pie, and Mango Coconut, you will have a tough time deciding!

6. Sweet Jesus Ice Cream
Made famous in their Toronto stores, Sweet Jesus Ice Cream can now be found in the Square One Food District. Famous for the wacky toppings and quirky names like Krusty the Kone and Hella Hazelnut, their cones are absolutely to die for!
