Portions are quite generous and it's Canadian ice cream (you can't beat that!) Right now it's cash only...I actually think it's always cash only but I might be wrong. I'm trying to remember if the one lady working was wearing a mask. She was behind plexiglass and sanitized her hands but I cannot remember if she was wearing a mask or not.

I watched her take money from the customer before us and went and grabbed another cone and started scooping ( no hand washing in between). We left with no ice cream and its very doubtful we will be back

In the eight summers I've been coming with husband and his family to Muskoka, the building…read morecurrently occupied by The Scoop has been...probably eight different ice cream shops. And why not? It's the perfect little hut, situated just outside of Bala town, with its own dock and excellent views of Bala Bay. Unfortunately, none of these ice cream places ever seemed to be open in the middle of the summer at the height of cottage season. Until The Scoop. Purchased last year by a local college student and her brother, the hut received an adorable Canadian facelift -- red, white and brown paint -- revamped signage and a new life. The siblings take turns working each evening, greeting customers and proudly scooping delicious, Ontario-based Kawartha brand ice cream. A tiny Swedish berry in lieu of a cherry on your scoop is their quaint signature. We're *so* glad they've set up shop in Bala and wish them the best of luck for continuing success; cuz nothing beats grilling your dinner al fresco followed by a boat ride to town for frozen dessert.

I am so happy that we did because the pistachio gelato I ordered and the cookies and creme my boyfriend had were amazing! The consistency was perfect; smooth and creamy! The flavor was spot on, tasted great and came with a complimentary waffle slice! There were two women working while I went in and they were very pleasant, helped us out and let us try as many flavors of gelato that we wanted. The shop itself is small and quaint, with lots of sweet options. What caught my eye were the salt water taffy in many odd flavors such as maple bacon. Unfortunately I didn't grab any, I am still regretting that but there is always next time because I will be back!

The place only has street parking and you have to enter and walk through a tiny alley to get to the entrance which is located at the back of the building. They had friendly staff and a variety of different ice cream flavours. Their regular 1 scoop ($4) cone was huge and you have the option of getting it in a cup. I got the butter pecan and it was delicious! Their seating is only outdoor and minimal (only 3 picnic tables) located at the entrance of the establishment. I would totally recommend if you're near by the area!

This place sells kawartha dairy ice cream in a variety of flavours and it is very fresh. You can buy the ice cream in a cup, regular cone, or waffle cone.. and you have the option of getting 1 scoop, 2 scoops, or 3 scoops. There is a nice seating area outside which is super hip looking with pink and grey painted walls. There is also adequate benches and chairs outside for you to sit and enjoy the ice cream with friends. In addition to selling ice cream, this place also has a small market inside where they sell what looks like merch and random nick nacks. We were not able to see or experience the market as we went here close to closing time, but it looks pretty cool. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area and are craving for some kawartha dairy ice cream!
