7 Best Ice Cream Shops near Halifax

“I walked in with an appetite and was not disappointed. The food and ice cream was amazing! My husband and I split the salmon cake and meat sampler. In the meat sampler we got the pulled chicken, chopped brisket, pulled port, sweet sausage, ribs, and breaded chicken bites. Our favorites were the salmon cake, pulled chicken with zesty white sauce, chopped brisket with hot honey garlic bbq, and the sweet sausage. Everything was so good we ended up walking out with a zesty white sauce, hot honey garlic bbq sauce, and 1/2 gallon of teaberry ice cream. I will definitely be back!“

“A wonderful place to stop. A very cozy atmosphere right off the Main Street. You get a warm greeting when you step inside. Your introduced to numerous homemade baked goods of all kinds. Breads, cookies, pies tiny little muffins. Not feeling a pretzel that ok you can get a made to order sub right one site. Ice, soda and just a little bit of everything for everyone. They had pretzels of all kinds to satisfy your taste buds. Also don’t forget to ask about the rewards program. Cause once you stop I guarantee you will be back!Parking: Various spots and free parking!“

“I really like this place for the burgers. They're amazing. Sometimes I go back and forth between the chicken fingers and then I remember why I don't get them, they're very grisly. The older woman in the window that takes your order can be extremely rude sometimes. She tends to roll her eyes whenever your order just about anything on the menu Also a little tip, call ahead or you will be waiting about 25 mins for your food. The parking lot area could be a little better. But it works. It's a very busy outside with the highway being right there.“

“The service was excellent , there was plenty of parking available, and the ice cream was delicious! I got the chocolate caramel hand dipped ice cream and my boyfriend got the vanilla softserve. The portions are great! There are picnic tables outdoors for seating, I will definitely be returning.“

“I cannot say enough good things about 3B. The ice cream is fantastic. I love the huge selection they have of flavors, and toppings. The staff is always friendly, and gets orders completed quickly. Now onto what I have in my photo (an Italian hoagie with everything)....the subs are to die for. Hands down one of the best Italian subs I've ever had. Everything is fresh, and it hits the spot everytime. Also, this monster was only $11.32! I believe the price went up 50 cents or so from last year, but this is still the steal of the century. Go here for the ice cream, but don't forget about the sandwiches!!“

“Very good price and huge portions. There is a good list of flavors, some are seasonal. In terms of quality, it's not too bad. Would I go back? Sure, when I'm in the area. Would I crave it? Naah.It would be nicer if there is a bathroom available and not just a porta potty, especially since it tends to get messy especially on a hot day when the ice cream melts quicker. Families with kids would especially appreciate that.“

“Overall, the store is great. I do have two complaints, however: 1. They should bring back the salad bar. Saladworks is nice, but I would prefer to pay $6.99 (or even $7.99) a pound to make my own salad, rather than paying $10.49 for a salad at Saladworks that includes lettuce plus 5 toppings, then if you want to add an extra topping, like sunflower seeds, you get charged for the most expensive topping you've selected (which is usually the protein). Also, I've encountered many issues with Saladworks where they have messed up my order - including one time where they did not include my protein. (I usually do mobile orders so I can run in and pick it up, but now I know to check my order before leaving.) If this Giant were to bring back the salad bar, I think they should do away with the various pre-made salads and deserts on the salad bar. I never saw anyone taking any of that stuff and it drives up the price of the salad bar. If any customers want those things, they can go buy them at the deli counter. 2. "Sushi Wednesday" has been a joke recently. Today when I visited the store, there were literally two packages of sushi marked as "Sushi Special" in the display case. The display case was practically full of other sushi (not on sale), by the way. I really feel like their Sushi Wednesday has been used as a bait & switch lately. You go into the store expecting to buy some sushi that's on sale, but you get there and they don't have anything or at least nothing except a Veggie Roll or a basic California Roll. Then, you have been thinking about sushi on your way there, so you have to buy one of their full price ($12.99+) rolls to satisfy your craving. Of course you don't HAVE to... but it sure feels like the old bait & switch gimmick to me.“
