Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery is a Toronto shop at 93A Ossington Avenue, established in 2014 by siblings Rosanne and Arthur Pezelli - Rosanne handles the cookie baking, Arthur the rest of the operation. Its signature format is the ice cream sandwich built on housemade cookies rather than the more common wafer or brioche bun, alongside cones made in the Hong Kong egg-waffle style. The shop also sells scooped ice cream in take-home tubs from its small, compact space on Ossington. Press coverage from Toronto Life and local food outlets has followed the shop's expansion of its sandwich and flavor lineup over the years since opening.
