This mouth-watering list of Winnipeg ice creams is the perfect way to end off a great summer!

Lily Medynsk runs @wpgeats, a popular Instagram account here in Winnipeg that shows amazing images of some of the restaurants and eateries in the city!

The account has been active for three years and has gained a large following and a lot of respect in the Winnipeg community. It has also become the go-to place to decide where to eat for the night, showing off all the best and tastiest food in the city.

Who better than the official taste tester herself to share the best ice cream spots in Winnipeg and what to get when you are there for your Instagram worthy ice cream.

Medynsk added that this list is in no particular order, "because I wouldn't even dream to start picking a 1 to 10, that's too hard!"

Sargent Sunday

"I feel like this one is such a Winnipeg staple, everyone has been to Sargent Sunday, everyone has made the walk from Assiniboine park, seen the line-up and stood in that line up cause its worth it!"

This family-owned and local shop is a classic and has lots of sweet treats, both hard and soft ice cream and what is even sweeter is their hours . . .  they are open until 11pm!

@wpgeats recommends - The dipped sprinkle ice cream.

Sweet Tops on Henderson

A great family stop for birthday cakes, cones and lots of "funky flavors."

You may not think to check this place out but it is truly a hidden gem!

Another big pro to this location is just how close it is to Kildonan Park.

@Wpgeats recommends -Try the funky Flavor of the day.

Bridge Drive-In

"You can't have a Winnipeg ice cream list without mentioning BDI because it's iconic."

This shop has been open since the '50s and you can really tell they have got this whole ice cream thing down!

"The lines can be long but that's how you know its worth it because people are willing to wait for what they know is good!"

@Wpgeats recommends - "Everyone knows the Salzburg!"

Le Monkey Bar

This ice cream shop is completely vegan, which to some people will sound crazy but trust and believe that this is good ice cream!

What they do is dip bananas in chocolate and pile on the toppings and sprinklers!

@Wpgeats recommends - Go Bananas!

Milk Smith

This is one of the newest shops on the list has opened up just a few months ago!

"They are really unique, " says Medynsk, "they do milkshakes but crazy milkshakes!"

If your looking for a truly "instagramable" moment this is the place to go with bright colored walls and milkshakes with toppings like, a pile of brownies or fruity pebbles, who could ask for more?

@wpgeats recommends - go for the craziest one there.

Chaeban Ice Cream

This shop, "ironically opened up in December, I feel like Winnipeg is the only place an ice cream shop could open up in winter!"

Chaeban is run by a Syrian family, this family ran an ice cream shop in Syria and now run one here!"

This shop uses all local ingredients and does pop-ups at all kinds of events all over the province!

@Wpgeats recommends - The ice cream flight is perfect for those who can't make up their mind!

Half Moon Drive In

"If you're in for a little bit of a road trip head out to half moon drive-in for a blast from the past!" says Medynsk.

This cute and family-friendly restaurant is just a little bit out of the city in Lockport!

@Wpgeats recommends - They are known for their comet!

Evas Gelato

"We are not gonna be excluding Gelato for the list, it's not ice cream but it satisfies that want!" 

There are always new flavors at this one so you can always find something new to love!

@Wpgeats recommends - Try out the Gelato cake!

Snowzen

This Asian desert is called shaved ice cream, you may have heard of shave ice now just think creamier!

You can also make this dessert yourself and personalize your sweet treats with lots of toppings!

Rollesque

Winnipeg's first rolled ice cream shop has arrived! 

This ice cream is made by spreading out icecream and crushing up toasted marshmallows, macaroons and almost anything you can imagine!
