Unfortunately not such great ice cream. In my opinion it was more ice than cream.
Reply to the owner's comment below: I've ordered one portion of grapefruit and one portion of chocolate, both ice creams (not sherbets). The "grapefruit" didn't taste like grapefruit at all. More like a vanilla with some unrecognizable bits in it. The chocolate was just too deluded with bits of ice and too "watery". I even asked the seller if the order was correct. (BTW the seller was nice and friendly).

Great product from an independent icecream producer. In Halifax for a vacation, it's been years since I've had a "Grapenut" flavoured icecream, it met and exceeded my expectations. And the price posted INCLUDES the tax, NICE!
Good ice cream, with fast service. I really liked the Key Lime ice cream.

Delicious ice creams
Old fashion deliciouse ice cream!Made in HalifaxMany will praise Cows ice creamThe milk and the waffle cones taste the same to me.It comes down to your flavor preferences.
The ice cream was good. My husband got one scoop of caramel and licorice and found the taste too mild...we liked that you could get a large and try 2 flavours. The service was friendly but there may be some work required on organizing...we were 2nd in line in the pickup window (already ordered and paid) and the man in front of us was eating his ice cream and was half way through and understandably getting a bit frustrated but he still didn't lose patience and finally knocked on the window and said my wife is just waiting on a soft serve. It came out fairly soon after and then we waited another long time for 2 large plain cones...we just couldn't figure out what they were doing back there...it can't take that long to scoop out ice cream and there was 2 working. One taking orders mainly granted but the soft serve then ours took a long time and we were all next in line. Then when it came it was dripping as they handed it to us and we had to race to eat it and it dripped quite a bit on our hands and clothes. I don't know if the freezers aren't cold enough? It was a warm day but very overcast (August 13th, 2023), so it shouldn't have melted that fast. So good ice cream but some organizational issues to work on for sure.

Ice cream was really tasty. Though the 1 1/2 scoop was pretty much just one scoop. Wish they had normal sugar cones but we got cake cones.
Tasty Ice Cream a little pricey but it is the wharf water front tourist area enjoy
This ice cream stand is located right on the boardwalk along the waterfront in Halifax. A very scenic place to grab some ice cream and enjoy the views. Naturally, our first reaction was to go to that "other place" that is so well known and popular. (OK, I am talking about Cows.) But the line-ups there were HUGE. So we tried Black Bear. They had a good variety and the ice cream was tasty. On a hot day, it was great to get our treats quickly while so many people were left standing in the blazing sun in the line-up at that other place. I liked it.
Great ice cream!
Such a nice treat.
