We here at CBC Life are just as excited as you about Canada's 150th birthday. So in the month leading up to July 1, we're showcasing some of our country's amazing hidden gems from coast to coast: totally Instagram-worthy food, tiles too pretty to *not* shoot, crazy views and more. #CanadaGem #CBClife

Is there anything better than a big cone of super sweet, brain freeze-inducing ice cream on a sweltering summer's day? We'd argue yes — a big cone of super sweet, brain freeze-inducing ice cream with incredible flavour, an uber-decadent dip and tons of tasty toppings.

Luckily, purveyors across Canada seem to have read our minds, quickly trading in their classic scoops for adventurous additions like cotton candy-topped cones, charcoal-infused soft serve and loaded ice cream sammies that taste even better than they look on our Instagram feeds.

We've rounded up some of the most epic, mouth-watering ice cream cones and dishes from all across the country, so you can start checking them off your summer bucket list, one tasty treat at a time.
