If a kiddie size is one scoop, those kids are in for a sugar rush and brain freeze haha. Talk about value! Serving up Hewitt's ice cream (my favourite commercial brand!) with classic flavours like mint chip and chocolate, as well as unique flavours like salty dawg and blueberry cheesecake. Ice cream is kept nice and cold, so it was a bit of a workout to eat it with a spoon (but on those humid hot days, I definitely appreciate extra cold, firm ice cream). My only constructive feedback is that I wish they had some outdoor seating/tables because the shop is quite small, and we ended up having to eat standing outside.

There's absolutely no place to sit or stand to enjoy your ice cream. The patio apparently belongs to a coffee shop, and you'll get kicked off it quickly despite them having zero customers. Disappointing. After going several times, I'm finally giving up hope. Hewitt's ice cream is amazing, but I'll be buying it elsewhere for sure. Like Jax Sweet Shoppe in Dundas.

This is the best ice cream place in Hamilton, hands down. Delicious flavours, lots of choice, and…read moremassive servings for only a couple bucks (I never have to get more than a double scoop, which is really more like 3 scoops at a regular place, and often one scoop is plenty; both of those options are less than $5). It's very bare bones inside, and the service is basic, but how much service do you really need for a scoop of ice cream? They're there and happy to serve you for the brief 4 minutes you'll be standing there. You can sit outside, but this really isn't a hang out place. It's more like a "go and get an ice cream to take with you on a summer evening stroll" kind of place. So, if you are looking to be waited on and to sit and hang out for a while, this isn't the place. If you're looking for delicious ice cream served in huge scoops for a very reasonable price, this is the place for you!

There's also parking on site which is a plus! My go-to is usually the Unicorn Half & Half (half milkshake, half ice cream), which is topped with cotton candy, nerds, rainbow sour strips. The ice cream used is bubble gum! If you're not interested in their options listed, you can always creat your own! For the piece, you do get a large serving as well. Their paninis are also delicious! I love their Doritos Chicken Panini ($6.99). It is one of my favourites and is something I'd recommend trying.

AMBIANCE: (4/5) The restaurant has expanded since I've been there last. There is much more seating in the back and they added a picture wall that you can use to take IG-worthy photos with your dessert. The lighting is soft but bright which also makes it a great place to hang out The front of the store is getting a little haggard. FOOD: (3/5) The sizes of the icecream scoops here are crazy. I absolutely love how much they give you - matching the price point in terms of quantity. 1. Oreo Icecream Sundae: This sundae was gi-normous and looked soo good - with whip cream, chocolate drizzle, and oreo cookies lining the cup. However, it was a little unsatisfactory. The 'oreo' icecream they used had basically no oreo in the mix. The icecream itself was bland (???). 2. Pralines & Cream: I LOVE pralines & cream. The kiddy scoop I got was so worth it. The icecream was creamy and thick. Exactly like the ones at Purdy's (my absolute favorite) but at a better price. SERVICE: (3/5) The service wasn't SPECTACULAR but was not lacking. The counter stretches around to the convenience store as well, so they service both. The icecream came out 8'ish minutes after we ordered (only 2 people in front of us) - which may be an issue in the summer time as it gets busier. OVERALL: (3.5/5) This is a store you come back at least once a year just because their pics look so good on Instagram & if you don't want to trek uptown to Biggies Icecream.

I'm sure in the summer I will have better luck. The inside is cute due to the graphics on the wall. It is a little small, so on summer days when I'm sure it's packed, don't plan on sitting inside.

I went with the Coconut and Cookie on top and Blue Mist, a combination of fruit flavours.

For Real Dough is an "Instgram-worthy" shop with cute, colourful edible cookie doughs and the interior of the shop is super cute and pink! I tried a few of their cookie doughs from various visits, and overall the cookie dough is okay... Definitely not a treat I am craving, but it was an experience to try. I tried their "Luck Charms" cookie dough, and it was too sweet in my opinion and the flavour gets pretty overwhelming (I would recommend a small size, as I could not finish the whole thing). The iced coffee is a MUST TRY! As a coffee lover, I recommend their coffee creations - "Cinnamon Toast Crunch and "Frosted Flakes" iced coffees!! Seriously amazing! They use cereal milk in the coffee, which gives it a sweet flavour, so it's surprisingly very good and unique. There is street parking, but very few spots, so I would recommend going early or taking public transportation if possible. I did park at the close-by A&W parking lot (but that is not recommended).
