Bar32, the artisanal ice cream bar business run by a pair of sisters, has returned to Toronto after a four-year hiatus — and the timing couldn’t be better. Set up for the summer season at The Lobby by Heaps Estrin in Rosedale, the brand is bringing back its handmade, chocolate-dipped ice cream bars in a rotating lineup of creative flavours.
The business first established itself in Muskoka and Toronto back in 2022 before stepping back for several years. Its return has been warmly received by fans who remembered the quality and care that went into every bar — a far cry from the mass-produced frozen treats that dominate most convenience store freezers.
What makes Bar32 special is the artisanal approach: small batches, real ingredients, and flavours that change with the seasons. The chocolate-dipped format allows for an almost infinite range of creative combinations, and the sisters have consistently pushed the boundaries of what a frozen dessert can be.
Rosedale is the perfect home base for this kind of premium offering — a neighbourhood that appreciates quality and has the appetite to support it through a full summer season.
