Enniskillen General Store

Loved it

The staff are so kind, so friendly and helpful. Always a good stop!

As much as I am a fan of the original location for these stores, the downtown Bowmanville location is severely lacking. Went and got ice cream tonight with the family. Though the service was quick and attentive, the issues lie with the lack of enough seating for more than one family at a time, and how soft the ice cream was. Since there was no seating for our family of 5, we decided to walk to the city hall steps to eat, assuming our ice cream would be plenty frozen to make that walk (yes, it was a hot day out, but we walked back in the shade). Before we even reached the next street up, our ice cream bowls were dripping everywhere, to the point where my son couldn't eat even half of his since it was all melted. Perhaps the freezers need to be checked because ice cream should last a little longer than that.

I visited this ice cream shop and had an uncomfortable experience with the staff. When I asked a question about the scoops, the employee initially gave an unclear answer, so I had to ask again. After finally responding, she turned away and smiled at another staff member in a way that felt dismissive and unprofessional. It was disturbing and made me feel unwelcome. I expect respectful and clear service, and this behavior was disappointing.

Bad experience! Left my ice cream on the counter.
I was in the middle of a conversation with a nice person who was answering my question about the big tub as she was serving me.
And suddenly the other girl interrupted the conversation and said.
I can cash you out over here.
I just felt uncomfortable and left the store.
I was not even wasting anybody's time there.The store was not that busy I know where the cash counter is so why are you being rude?not professional.

We will ALWAYS come here and ALWAYS recommend this location above others. You have the best staff here and that just makes the ice cream experience so much better!

My favorite local place to get ice cream. The employees are really sweet, even if you come in 5-10m before closing. Will forever go to this place.

Parking: Pretty decent amount of parking, there's a lot of street parking at a parking lot right near by

It's okay. Yummy Kawartha dairy ice cream always but everytime I go they're always out of something that I want which is disappointing. The 2 teen boys that serve and run cash sometimes really need to work on their customer service skills.

Let me start that the employees are nice and quick, however I find it frustrating that 2 weeks in a row now that the debit machine has not been charged and cash is the only option.

Last week we were notified upfront. Tonight I picked up the bill for my friends despite not getting ice cream myself....but the lady behind us who did not have cash was able to leave with her items and not paying .... a thank you from the employees for stepping up would have been nice seeing as if I said nothing then they also would have received free product.

We are huge fans of EGS, we go weekly. This afternoon our portions were half the usual size. Not sure what’s happened there. Hope it was a one time occurrence.
