Before we arrived I was saying I'd love to get a Nanaimo Bar Gelato, hoping they had one along the waterfront and this place did! Very excited, but also lived up to exactly what I hoped it would be. My mouth is watering just thinking about it

Very sweet lady who runs it. & Delicious ice cream & hot dogs!

Nice selection of ice-cream, sorbet, and Gelato but prices are a slim steep.

I wanted to purchase a baby size ice cream but the shop keeper wanted me to bring the baby and prove it to her that the baby is indeed under three years old. It is preposterous that i can’t buy ice cream to take it to a baby but have to carry the baby to the store to prove it to her. Wouldn’t be surprised if on bringing the baby I’d be asked an ID card to prove its age.

The ice cream was good though

This is a standard ice cream/gelato shop, but unfortunately, the flavors didn’t quite stand out. The gelato didn’t fully capture the taste I was expecting and fell short of what I would hope for from a homemade-style gelato.

The ice cream was so good that we went twice during our 3 days on the island. Loved that they had a gluten free cone! The service was outstanding!

I would consider myself an ice cream aficionado and let me tell you this place has some of the best real gelato and homemade ice cream flavours. It's incredible the owner makes all the flavours themselves, I haven't had them all but I've taste tested plenty along with having quite a few others and never not been impressed, it makes it so hard to choose when there because I promise you they will all taste amazing. Somehow they all taste so real like take the root beer, one of my personal faves, it tastes remarkably like an actual can of root beer down to tasting the carbonation almost somehow through the ice cream. The nanaimo bar gelato is another fave that tastes like nanaimo bars were smashed into the ice cream somehow and that's the theme you'll find with all the flavours.

I first discovered this after moving back to Cedar recently as some family was visiting and we were looking for a good gelato. We mistakenly went into another ice cream shop that's close by a few doors down, thinking it was the right one we had read amazing reviews on, but alas it was not and we were incredibly disappointed. We walked out and we were leaving when we came by this place and quickly realized this was the one we read about, but we didn't want to have another ice cream. We walked in and talked with the owner who was there, she worked her magic and had us tasting every flavour and soon we all just had to try it. It was all incredible, everybody was so happy with all the flavours they got and some nanaimo bars for my brother in law. She just really turned around a poor experience that night and I've been loyal since not only for the incredible service but more importantly the phenomenal gelato

So much so I even order it every year a couple times all the way out to Cedar on door dash and I am so so happy they allow it as an option

The ice cream was very good, but the shop can be a bit hard to access in a wheelchair or with another mobility aid.

Drea (hope I spelled her name right!) was such a sweetheart! Has a great attitude and very welcoming demeanour :)

Delicious in-house made ice cream and waffle cones. The smell of the waffle cones is what led me there, and the friendly staff reminded me that it had been too long since I visited. The ice cream was perfect. Thank you so much, you can feel (and taste) the love 🩷🍦
I had the blackberry cheesecake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were only able to get one sample and I didn't get ice-cream because their policy is absolutely trash. I'm never coming here ever again. L store

This is such a fantastic little stop in such a beautiful place! The harbour is a perfect spot to enjoy a cold treat, and they have so many ice cream flavours to choose from! The staff was also incredibly friendly and personable! 10/10 would recommend this place! :)
