Also support local We got 1 strawberry sundae + 1 chocolate sundae (unfortunately that one didn't make the cuts since we devoured that within seconds). The vanilla soft serve is SO incredibly good?!! Like wow. It's super soft and creamy- miles better than DQ. The young lady at the window was also super sweet and friendly! They also have a patio section with a few tables and benches & lots of variety on their menu! Do note that their sundaes come in only 1 size (which is pretty decent! Not too small and not too big, leaving you feel guilty afterwards. It's just the right size!) I will definitely be back to try their razzles next time since I've heard great things about it

Brett's Ice Cream is a little ice cream shop in Kanata. It's been around since 2013 but I only…read morelearned of it recently. It's a little shop with basically just a window where you order. It's a strip mall with an auto body shop. Not the most picturesque or romantic place, but the ice cream is good. You pretty much need to eat it in the parking lot (there are a few benches) or in your car. My husband and I went during the Phase 2 re-opening amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic, but I don't think they had to change their practices much because they were always takeout only with no place to sit and eat. There was absolutely no line up when we went on a Sunday afternoon in June. My husband is a traditionalist so he got a medium chocolate vanilla swirl in a waffle cone. It was $3.25 for a medium and an additional $0.75 for the waffle cone. I wanted to try their flavour burst which is flavour swirled into the ice cream in unique way (see photos). I got a small vanilla cone with cherry flavour burst. It was $2.25 for the small cone plus an additional $1 for the flavour burst. I enjoyed my cone. The ice cream was creamy and the flavour burst added a nice black cherry flavour to the cone. It wasn't too overwhelmingly sweet which was nice. I really want to try the Pina Colada flavour burst next time. Note that they only have soft serve ice cream. No hard/scoop ice cream. They do have milkshakes, slushies, slushie floats, sundaes, and Razzles, which are like Dairy Queen Blizzards or Mc Donald's McFlurries. Service was quick and courteous. I'm a huge fan. It's a bit of a trek to get to Kanata for me, but I would come back if I was in the area or planning to so other things in the area. Free parking in the parking lot that is shared with the auto shop.

Carp Custom Creamery has been a long time staple in the Ottawa Valley Region for their commitment…read moreto serve handcrafted ice cream with unique flavours for everyone to enjoy! Whether it is the summer or cold winter, Carp Custom Creamery is available for a quick service to enjoy straight from when you receive the cone from the counter to even taking a pint home to enjoy at your own pace. Whether it's soft serve, hand churned ice cream, or the smell of fresh waffle cones, Carp Custom Creamery has really impressed me! In conjunction with Cheshire Cat Pub, you definitely need to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding flavour which has big chunks of the sponge cake pairing well with the butterscotch based ice cream! In addition, the coconut ice cream is always very refreshing with fresh coconut shavings adding a nice palate cleanser! I can't wait to go back soon!

My hubby got the strawberry shortcake and said it was good, but he wasn't sure why people would go crazy about the ice cream here. I got scoop a vanilla ice cream with skor and oreo mixed in (I forget the name of it on the board), and chocolate PB. Both were good, but chocolate PB had big chunks of frozen peanut butter in it. It was heaven. When we got there, there was no lineup! so we ordered right away. When we left, there were about 15 people in line. Seating outside. Not wheelchair accessible or stroller accessible for ordering. It would be great if they built a ramp.

Highly recommend this place!…read more First time visiting the store in person as we've only ordered online for delivery before & it was a great experience! The store has a nice vibe with lots of seasonal décor and unique gift selections. Everything was clean, organized, and easy to browse. The staff were friendly, service was fairly quick, and we really enjoyed the affogato. The ice cream was smooth and creamy and paired perfectly with the espresso. Aside from my Hokkaido ice cream experience in Japan, this has been by far the best and smoothest soft ice cream I have ever had and my second favourite of all time. I also loved that you can DIY the chocolate drizzle to your taste. I was a little reluctant to order other dip cones as I am not a huge fan of sweets, but this ice cream already has me reminiscing about it. It honestly was not overly sweet like typical soft serves, and having so many selections of chocolate is awesome. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

I ordered a hot fudge Sundae, no nuts and no cherry (please) with hard ice cream. An older gentleman was serving. He made a joke, "no whipped cream too?". I laughed an said "lots of whipped cream please". He then proceeded to make a sundae with alot of nuts. I gently reminded him for no nuts. He then hands me a sundae with virtually no fudge and with a cherry. I request more fudge and no cherry. Pictured is the final product. This constitues a hot fudge sundae at Scoops There were 6 others with me. atleast two complained of stale cones and the chocolate "tasted off". The 10-year old in the group was disappointed with her cone. It's hard to make a 10 year old not like an ice cream cone. This isn't the first time we've had issues with this place. I thought it was a fluke or a bad day for the server. Tonight confirmed that it's not a fluke. Needless to say, the boating tradition is broken. We won't be back, after years of loyal service

After learning that the latter only accepted cash, I checked out Amore Gelato. There was a bit of a lineup, so I knew that it was a good sign. There was a mom in front of me with her kids. We had a nice chat after she specifically said to her kids that they'd get exactly one scoop of ice cream. "We can't have them go on a sugar high and crash," I said, smiling. "Exactly. I'm getting two scoops, though" she said, laughing. This joint offers options for everyone. You can get a variety of gelato flavours that are made fresh every day. Gelato has dairy in it. If you're like me and want a dairy-free option, sorbetto is a nice alternative. I had overheard the conversation between the woman behind the counter and a couple about to pay for their treats: "Is it cash only?" the woman asked. "No, that's the Crazy Moose. We accept all cards and cash," the female staffer said. One word: yes! This same female staffer helped me out with my order. I got the following sorbetto flavours in a cup: - Guava - Lychee I paid with a credit card. I also tipped, thankful that I could use plastic to pay. I thanked her and left with my frozen dessert. There were a handful of little tables with chairs inside the store, but they were all taken. Instead, I went out in the hot weather and found outdoor seating. Luckily, there is a rather large tree that provided a lot of shade. There was also a breeze, so I wasn't sweating buckets. I loved my sorbetto. The guava and lychee were reminiscent of having Vitasoy as a kid. I loved these flavours. They were captured perfectly in the sorbetto, which wasn't all that sweet. The sorbetto scoops were refreshing and enjoyable to consume on a hot July afternoon. There were pigeons that looked like they were innocently befriending me. They were actually waiting for me to make a klutzy move. If I had dropped my sorbetto, they'd feast. They never got any of mine. I finished all of it. So good! It was nice to people-watch as I had my sorbetto. If you have the time to stop and enjoy things in ByWard Market, come here for a scoop of yumminess and savour it. It's a great place. I'd return in a heartbeat. (310)

He recommended the mint chocolate, passion fruit and stracciatella. Since I was feeling something more refreshing, we had the passion fruit! It was super tasty and had the right level of tartness (not overly sweetened or artificial), and had a smooth consistency. While it was a bit pricy at $6.25 for a scoop. I'd definitely go back and try some of their other flavours since the quality was quite good

Overall, I had a really positive experience here and would recommend this place to anybody who is craving ice cream but also wants to try something different, or if you just love rolled ice cream! 5/5!

Cassis had gelato and sorbet, so even better! I got a mini size on a regular cone ($5.35) and got the marshmallow flavour. My husband got the small in a cup (I don't remember the exact price but it was around $7.50). For the small you get 2 flavours and he got the mango and orange sorbets. My marshmallow gelato was delicious! So marshmallowey, lol. I could eat an entire tub, haha. I had a taste of my husband's sorbets and they were also good.
