12 Best Ice Cream Shops in Halifax

“My wife and I just devoured two burritos with the works (one chicken one beef). Both were insanely delicious and felt like they were 2lbs a piece! 😋 While I was peeling back the paper it actually stood on its end like a Roman pillar! #leaningtowerofburrito Can’t wait to come back and have another! Thanks ladies for a fantastic lunch!!!!!“

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

“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!“

“great place for a family creams' time!“

“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 .“

“We visited on a busy sunny Saturday around 2 PM. Their product is unique to them and hand crafted - really delicious ! We found this place because a better-known place was way too busy. Go here instead! Very quick service . Photographed is “churned” salty caramel and cotton candy.“

“While not the delicious soft-serve they seem to have a line down the block for, they have an option for non-dairy! Their vegan ice cream is not made in house and looks like it would rotate. I had the Earl grey biscoff flavour and it was just okay, not super flavourful on either side but had a rich creamy base. Their whole menu is well marked with what add ons are vegan/gf as well!

“Great service provided by the staff and smoothie was very good as well.“

“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 was the Treats for Miracles Day at DQ, so the store was super busy. That said, there was a lot of staff and all were friendly and efficient. What a great fundraiser for the IWK. Thanks to DQ for the support of the local children's hospital.“

“Overall, I’ve had good experiences here with the staff, food, and atmosphere. My only real complaint is the inconsistency with the Blizzard cakes over the years.

Sometimes they’re packed with a good amount of filling and they’re great, but other times it feels pretty stingy, especially considering how expensive they are. For the price, I’d just like to see them be a bit more consistent.“

“The food is on another level of good, the customer service was amazing too, and it has everything you need, ranging from snacks and even kitchen and cleaning supplies too! And the ice cream sandwiches are sooo good, come stop by jubilee junction and try the food!“
