It's okay, it's island farms so the same ice cream selection as mostly everywhere else on the island and it's not cheap. Actually the ice cream here had less chunks in than the other place I usually go to. They sell ice cream sandwiches but won't make one even if you're the only person in there. No toppings and the portions were small.
The affogato is good.

Amazing sherbet!! Get the single scoop of two flavours, almost as big as the double scoop and lower cost!

I don’t even really care for ice cream, but love this place! The cheesecake gelato is unreal! And I’d never had an affogato before, delicious!!

Okay four words is all this review really needs to convince you that you have to visit this place:
ROOTBEER FLOAT ICE CREAM
If you really think you need to know more (you really don’t) then sit down and buckle up. This is a lovely little store divided into two parts… the ice cream store (they have Rootbeer float ice cream!) which has ice cream and gelato and a few places to sit, and the other side which has sandwiches, baked goods, and various items for sale. You come for the ice cream or gelato (they have several flavours including Rootbeer float ice cream), and stay for a light lunch in a pleasant atmosphere rounding out an enjoyable visit to main street Ladysmith. The staff are pleasant, patient, and helpful, the food delicious, and the Rootbeer float ice cream divine.
I have stopped a few time for lunch and/or ice cream and have always been a happy/satisfied customer. However, today I discovered Rootbeer float ice cream (I may have mentioned it previously)… Rootbeer floats (with good French vanilla ice cream and A&W root beer) is one of my favourites. When I saw this store had a Rootbeer float flavoured ice cream I decided to try it on a whim… well, I did not expect what I tasted… it tasted EXACTLY like a Rootbeer float, foam and all (yes, the foam has its own distinctive flavour and yes that flavour came through in this ice cream!). Now I needed a second opinion, just as you, dear reader, I’m sure are saying “yah right, suuure it was just as good as the real float”, so I passed it around to the rest of my party and they were just as pleasantly surprised (dare I say shocked) at how good it is.
Okay, enough reading… start planning your visit and make sure to try all the flavours but first the Rootbeer ice cream float flavour. You won’t be disappointed with your visit or the ice cream.

For a weekend drive this place is a great spot for ice cream. The prices reflect the portion size that I received. I would recommend this place to anyone who LOVES ice cream.

Great place to get ice cream! I only wish they were open longer.

Come early or download the app and be sure to ensure you don't miss out on an order of cinnamon rolls! Everything in the store is worth a taste, The fresh bread and treats are delicious and will make you want to return for more.

We try to stop by here whenever we go through Ladysmith because the prices are reasonable for the sweets offered here: sugar cookies, scones, cinnamon buns -- you name it! Queues can typically run out of the shop but service is quick and there is indoor seating too. Lunch is popular here with the savoury pies, soups, salads and sandwiches made fresh daily. Pies and cakes also on offer, but the apple pie we purchased was deep-dish and we weren't used to the denseness. The dough seemed underbaked and thick; the pastry was lacking crispness. Maybe a one-off so we'll try again another time. Still love coming here -- service is friendly, environment is clean, and food products are quality-made. Free street parking.

Busy and long lineups but worth the wait. This is take out only but offer great selection of food and pastry. They are famous for their selection of cinnamon buns. Highly recommend this place.
Very good ice cream/gelato and affogato!
