“Great atmosphere and harbour views, paired with excellent appetizers and drinks!“

“Nice ice cream and service right on the water front“

“Unique ice cream flavors. The staff should definitely be giving out a warning when someone orders the chocolate mexican icecream...so hot it has you holding your throat! I was lucky enough to ask for a sample but others were really disappointed in purchasing. The flavor changes each week:) it's a really cool ice cream shop worth checking out.“

“great place for a family creams' time!“

“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!“

“Best convenient store in the world. Where else can you get eggs, milk, bread, the greatest variety of different kind of cakes and cheesecakes.... Cereal, canned goods, gum, decadent sundaes and shakes....etc. Disney World is the 2nd happiest place in the world now... Flynns is no. 1!“

“omg if you have never been, you NEED to try.this was the best dipped soft serve icecream 🍦 I've ever had. the chocolate was so thick I had to bit threw it 😋 delicious chocolate, and the icecream was so smooth and creamy, definitely a must try .“

“I went in to buy a milkshake for a friend who was sick. I ordered the chocolate peanut butter shake. I asked if they were thick and the reponse was a wonderful smile and "We can make it however you want it". The milkshakeologist rolled up her sleeves, pulled her hair back, washed her hands and started her magic. She scooped, poured, drizzled and mixed, scooped, poured and mixed some more before the final two drizzles and it was done. I was taken back at just much effort went into one shake. My friend said it tasted amazing and she will be visiting the shop herself. I will be going back to get one of the decadent milkshakes or sundaes and cannot wait! Fantastic first experience!“

“Today I witnessed the kindest customer service.
One of the young girls ( between 4:30 to 5:00pm) went above and beyond her duties. First she was very attentive and friendly to us and once we were in our table we saw the moment when she started using sign language to communicate with a lady, I would like to highlight that she took the time to make sure that the lady's order was correct and also approached the table to make sure everything was fine.
I think this level of service deserves to be recognized and the company needs to know the amazing team member they work with.“

“If you want nostalgic, unique snacks along with great drinks and food, Shakespeer is the place to be! It was my first time in this establishment and I marvelled at the snacks that brought me back to childhood. I tried their espresso creamy iced coffee and it was tasty. Ruhi served me and my friend. She was extremely helpful and friendly with great recommendations for first time buyers.“

“I highly recommend this place, staff working there. Super cooperative provides best taste in the town and also reminds of India. cheers to the staff and a boy who is working every day. I appreciate each and everyone’s efforts for providing best taste in the town.“

“Dairy Queen is our go-to spot during the summer! The ice cream treats are always delicious and refreshing, making it the perfect place to cool off on a hot day.

While it can be a bit on the expensive side, the quality and variety of their menu make it worth the occasional visit.

Whether you're grabbing a classic Blizzard or trying one of their seasonal offerings, you won't be disappointed. A summer favorite for sure!
