While I barely did any research for my two days in Toronto (bless having friends in town), I randomly found a photo on Insta that instantly had me sold. Gelato made fresh, in-house Asian style? Hell yeaaaaah. Even more props to Kekou as everything they do is based on freshness. No preservatives, stabilizers or filler. You can read more on about that on their website here.
There are a couple benches outside to enjoy your gelato but most people were eating inside to keep cool and prevent their scoops from melting. Their flavours are constantly changing based on the season and availability but there were plenty to choose from when I was there. I tried a couple samples as there were so many interesting flavour combinations (spicy salted pineapple, avocado banana) but ended up going with a medium (two scoops).
- Osmanthus plumberry and HK milk tea ($5.00) - the osmanthus plumberry was incredibly refreshing. Not too sweet but had a great balance of sour and salty. The HK milk tea tasted just like the real thing. Both were terrific but if I had to choose one over the other, I'd get the plumberry again.
Loved Kekou! I would easily come back here multiple times to try all their other unique flavours.
