G For Gelato and Pizza Bar

I passed this place often enough I once stop in past for their Gelato and from memory so I need lunch and decide i should stop, They have their fair share of selection from breakfast (that end at 11am) to sandwiches to pizza to cake and gelato.
To date I have only had the Gelato and it was really good, and tasty, I had the white choclate fudge gelato first while I waited for my chicken parmesian panini. It was heavenly and so good and creamly (thou i dont know the difference) its all good to me
The panini was had a great toast to it, the chicken was tender the cheese was nice and melt, and the vegetable of pepper and mushroom top it off like you would expect
Great meal and great dessert, got to try to pizza, or there breakfast (sandwiches)
I’ll be back (No i am not quoting him)

I had heard a lot of good things about g is for gelato and it is in my neighborhood. On Saturday night we decided to grab two pizzas to go and they had a special on the margherita pizza. We ordered two of the specials to go and waited. The first disappointment was that they did not make both pizzas — they overlooked that the order was for two so we had to wait for the second pizza. No matter; we were patient and were comfortably seated. We got our second pizza 10 minutes later, with obligatory apologies and made our way home. The pizzas were a disappointment; I counted 3 pieces of basil leaves on my 12 inch pizza and my fiancé had 2. It was a essentially a cheese pizza. Not what we had been expecting. I don’t see myself going back as there are so many excellent restaurants and pizza alternatives nearby.

This place has the most insane gelato flavours! Ranging from your classic flavours like blood orange and lemon to Whiskey Caramel and Ginger Cocoa Nutmeg. You’ll need to taste most of them before you can make a clear decision.
The price was reasonable, it was about $ 5.50 for 2 flavours which I find is about standard. If you find yourself craving gelato and you’re in the area, come check this place out for some interesting flavours!

Came here with my cousin on her birthday weekend celebration and we stumbled upon this place by accident. And boy did we get for more than we asked. The flavours are diverse and plenty to choose from. I got the avocado gelato and the peanut butter and jelly. Holy love making in my mouth. For two flavours the portion size was HUGE! So big that you couldn’t see my little cup doing all the heavy lifting. The staff was even sweeter. It was a lovely experience overall. Would most definitely go back.

Ordered Baked eggs and omelette, and they missed the omelette. However when I came up to ask after half an hour, they didn’t admit that they missed but said I didn’t order. Not pleased. The baked eggs tasted good but the bacons were bit over-​baked. Went there around noon time, so it took 20 more min for them to prepare. Mocha was really good! Ordered another cup to go

Nice inside. Good choices and normally well staffed. We made an order over the internet to pick up. The pizza that we were given (did not think to open up the box to check) was not what was ordered. In fact it was cheaper and full of ingredients that we normally never consider. We moved onto the salad and the chef had salted the salad so heavily that it was not edible.
Unfortunately this was on a Sunday evening and the restaurant closed shortly before we arrived home.
Eat in if you must as you can complain to them.

Halooo Blogstees!
We’re extremely excited as we’re about to tell you about our very first Zomato event! We felt very blessed and honoured to be invited by Zomato. The meetup was held at G for Gelato and Espresso Bar. We were told that it was going to be an interactive evening with gelato making demonstrations and the opportunity of making our own gelato. We didn’t know what to expect, who we were going to meet, and how the event was going to be but we were very excited and couldn’t wait to meet everybody.
As we can tell by its name, G for Gelato’s main focus was on their gelato. They strive to bring customers the tastiest, freshest, and finest gelato in Toronto. Although they keep their menu true to the classics, they aren’t afraid to explore new flavours. In addition to gelato, they also provide gourmet thin crust pizzas, paninis, salads, and much more…
When you step into G for Gelato, the first thing you’ll notice is the friendliness of the staff. They put their best effort into making sure every customer is satisfied and leave with a smile on their face.
Here’s a look at their pizza oven standing at the back of the café =)
Fridge filled with variety of drinks — both alcoholic and non-​alcoholic.
Ice Latte — one of the simplest drinks on the menu, yet it was one of the best ice latte I ever had. The amount of coffee they put in was just perfect. Best drink for the hot summer.
We started the night with some Lemonade to freshen up.
Then we had Ceasar and Caprese Salad. The Caprese was garnished beautifully with mozzarella cheese and tomatoes. Extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar was drizzled on top for added flavours.
For our entreés, we ordered six pizzas =9 It might seem like a lot, but we finished them all without any problems =D
A closer look at our pizza,
.Pollo al Pesto — pesto sauce, mozzarella, grilled chicken breast, caramelized onions, roasted red pepper, fresh basil
.Funghi — assorted mushrooms, fontina cheese, topped with arugula shaved parmesan, truffle oil
.Calabrese — tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy soppressata, roasted red peppers, black olives
.Prosciutto Contadina — tomato sauce, mushrooms, mozzarella, topped with arugula, prosciutto and shaved parmesan

G for Gelato offers over 30 different flavours of gelato. They have the classics and modern flavours (like Kitkat, Nutella, Bueno, etc.). Depending on the season, they also offer refreshing fruits and vegetables flavours. All of their ingredients are purchased from local farmers and markets.
As expect, they did a phenomenal job in their gelato — very creamy and smooth. The flavour was rich, yet not overpowering. My favourite was the Blueberry Lavender. The colour was beautiful and the flavours compliment each other very well.
Later that night, we had a competition on making the best gelato. Iris, myself, and other Zomato users were divided into three teams. The owner of G for Gelato, Sean, was our judge.
Before making our gelato, the staff gave us some samples to taste so we would have an idea of what flavours compliments each other the best. There was pistachio, nutella, peanut butter, liquid graham crackers, coconut, and much more…
Here a look at their gelato lab. Three racks of wet and dry ingredients that we can choose freely to create our very own gelato.
Iris and I have the idea of making a breakfast flavour gelato, which consist of the taste of coffee and pancake. Here is our ingredient list~*
.espresso
.liquid graham crackers
.maple syrup
.blueberry syrup
.nutella & rice crispy mix
The power mixer is used to mix all the ingredients together before putting them into the ice cream machine.
Two ice cream makers aka «John & Joe».
One of the staff demonstrated how to extract the gelato from the ice cream machine. It looked easy at first, but when you’re actually doing it, it required lots of energy and skills; folding and pushing the gelato in the tub.
After extracting our gelato from the ice cream machine, Iris and myself added blueberry and nutella syrup for more flavour.
When we were satisfied with the additional flavours we can put in, and started swirling to make sure the flavours were blended in well.
Crushed waffle cone is added for some crunchiness and more cookie flavour.
Here is it! Blogsters very own gelato — «The Morning After»!!!
There it goes into the freezer for 10 minutes!
The final products of the night…
«The Morning After»
«Blueberry Summer Spritz»
«Nutty Irish Surprise»
WE WON!!! THE MORNING AFTER WON!!! Sean liked our gelato the most as it reminded him

I love love love the gelato! This place has the best gelato I have ever tasted and their flavours are far from conventional! I definitely recommend the London fog and the almond stracctico! Also they do have some gelato infused with alcohol which is very cool in my opinion.
This place actually does brunch that I was not aware of! I will definitely go check it out!
The pricing is $ 4 for a small, $ 5.50 for a medium with two flavours and you can pick a bowl or come! Personally I prefer the Cone. Waffle cones are $ 1 extra!

Great service and my new breakfast spot. The breakfast wrap is made fresh with delicious Italian sausage and red pepper mayo. It’s a bit on the heavier side, but leaves you feeling much better than a typical McSandwich.
While I waited I sampled a bunch of different gelato flavors and wow — I will definitely be back for more. I’ve also heard great things about their pizza from a few people.

My favourite Gelato place in town! I’ve been a few times and have tried a variety of flavours. From the really creamy chocolaty types to the lighter sorbets, they never failed to impress. The staff is patient and helpful in helping you make your choices, and quite generous with the portions. It’s really nice to have the gelato by the window while people watching, or taking it to go (walking across the street to St. James Park or south to St. Lawrence market).

This is (to me at least) a big chain gelato place. I am often wary of big chains as I find quality slips to keep things profitable.
However I was presently surprised to find that the gelato here was pretty good.
I went on a Tuesday where you can get two flavours in a small cup (where as you normally can only get one). I got the blueberry and guava passion fruit. They were both filled with flavour and not overly sweet. You can easily finish without getting sick of the flavour or turned off from the sweetness.
Service was a little slow as there were only two people (one on cash the other making drinks and scooping gelato) so it’s totally understandable.

I had a pistachio flavoured gelato here. It’s $ 4 for a small which is more than enough for the average person. The pistachio flavour was not too sweet. I really enjoyed it.
Also got a matcha & grilled veggie panini. Food was made very fresh and quick. Planning to come back again and try their pizza.

After trying to get gelato at Kekou and realizing that they were closed for renovation, we came to G For Gelato because it’s close to some cheap parking lots (King St and George St). We were excited to find this gelato shop nearby. They have a large array of flavors to choose from. We were fortunate that the person behind the counter was very patient with us while we were deciding on which flavors to eat. Eventually we decided on coconut, pineapple sorbet, and peanut butter. Each of the flavors were really tasty! If we’re ever back in this area, we’ll have to come back for more.

Taste good
Price fair
Nice décor
Open concept café
Can see into back kitchen
Clean place

The gelato was the best in the town!
I went there at snowy morning on February but I felt warmed because of the amazing food. I ordered a frittata and gelato in pistachio and chocolate.
–The green pistachio was so delicious, smooth, fresh and any beautiful words in the world. Even the chocolate was not that good by contrast.
–The frittata was hot and tender. It served with Parmesan making it taste better.
The stuff were all so friendly and I almost fall in love with the girl who made the gelato!
Noticed that pizza are only available on the lunch time but a gelato for morning is enough.

Super friendly staff. Hannelle was our Gelato pusher in the best way possible. She gave us samples and went through each flavor. It was freezing outside but I was all about it. Its creamy and delicious. She even let us know they are open to customers ideas regarding new flavors!

This a great hangout location with amazingly delicious Gelato.
The good:
Staff are super friendly and let you try the flavours before ordering.
If you’re eating there and it’s quiet they even let you pay after you finish your gelato.
Great tasting Gelato of course!
Quiet during the winter so makes for a nice date place.
Décor is very modern and loft like.
The not as good:
The location gets quite busy during the summer time.
Sometimes they only have a few Gelato flavours to choose from.
I’ve been numerous times and will definitely be back.

I have been to this location twice now, and if I were more a fan of frozen desserts I would be here a lot more.
I must say, our last experience there was very pleasant. There was no line up (not typical — it’s just the dead of winter) and were greeted by a very friendly girl behind the counter who offered us countless samples. She was informative, bubbly (but not too) and really made our experience better. She even told us to just relax with our gelato and pay on the way out.
The two flavours we got were — Ferrerro Rocher and Mixed Berry (separate dishes of course). Both were very good. Not disappointed at all. We were wishing we had ordered two scoops! (The struggle is real)
The Good:
1. Staff. Very friendly and really look to create an experience for you rather than hate their lives for serving (here’s looking at you, Tim’s!)
2. Taste. All gelatos I’ve had here are very good.
3. Hours. This place is open late which is great for those late night gelato or otherwise cravings.
The Bad:
1. Variety. For a gelato place, there are not THAT many flavours to choose from. I was actually a little surprised.
Recommendation: Ferrerro Rocher with a scoop of something else because one is not enough and two scoops ($ 5.50) is a steal.

Really cute little gelato place just a little bit east of the downtown core. They have a pretty decent sized selection of gelato flavours (around 16 maybe?) and some of them are very interesting! I got a medium sized cup with two flavours ($ 5.50 + tax), and tried pistachio as well as strawberry sorbet. Both of them were really, really good! In particular, the pistachio gelato was sooooo smooth and creamy and tasted really fresh and natural. I would very much recommend it! Strawberry sorbet was also tasty but not quite as exciting. I also tried some of my friend’s gelato, which was sourberry and mango banana. I think the sourberry was okay, although it didn’t leave a very lasting impression on me. The mango banana was a lot heavier on the banana flavour than the mango, so I wasn’t too crazy about it.
My friend and I also split a pizza, and got a pizza margherita, which was their special of the day. They have a different pizza special every day, which is apparently around $ 10 and comes with a drink, so it’s a pretty good deal! I thought our pizza was alright, but it was pretty plain, just lots of tomato sauce and basil leaves. I did like that it was a thin crust pizza though, and it did taste pretty good.
The people working there were all really nice and the environment was very comfortable and relaxed. The amount of gelato you also get is a LOT, like the cup was pretty much overflowing so I definitely felt like I got my money’s worth! Would definitely come again to try other flavours!
Also, I checked into this place on Unilocal and then got a deal for 1 free brewed coffee with the purchase of any breakfast item: D
Edit: for some reason now the deal is different and now it’s upsize your gelato, which is kind of better: P

Man, that funghi (aka mixed mushroom) pizza… it’s WONDERFUL.
I came here on the recommendation of my boss, who lives in the neighbourhood and comes frequently with his family — he even has the weekly specials memorized, lol. Of all the pizzas, he highly recommends the funghi pizza — mixed mushrooms and a bit of cheese, no tomato sauce (it’s a white pizza), and they put fresh arugula and drizzle truffle oil over it after it comes out of the oven! I LOVE truffle oil!
I visited on a Friday because it’s when the funghi pizza is discounted ($ 14 and free drinks, when it’s normally $ 17). The wait was reasonable, especially since they make it fresh, and when it came out, it smelled amazing. I loved this pizza because there’s a great variety of mushrooms — I believe there’s even shitake! And the truffle oil really adds something extra savoury and fragrant. The arugula cuts through the pungent mushroomyness of it all. And the cheese they use is really nice — it’s rich but not heavy and doesn’t compete with the mushroom flavour.
I once had gelato here on its own and found it to be a smidge too sweet for me. However, I found that the gelato was perfect right after pizza. The pizza was quite savoury and salty, so the sweeter gelato balanced it out perfectly.
This is a great, casual-​but-​nice place and it’d be a good place to take a casual date!
