My fiance and I stumbled upon this place purely by chance. We were craving ice cream after a…read morecamping trip and a quick Yelp search for ice cream led us here. At first, we weren't sure we were at the right place. We saw a few signs for ice cream, but no ice cream shop. We asked around and found out that the big old steam boat was the ice cream shop. To our delight, they served Kawartha Ice Cream in almost every flavour imaginable! I got Raspberry Thunder (white chocolate and raspberry ice cream with white chocolate chunks) and some caramel one with butterscotch ripples and chocolate caramel pieces. The fiance got moose tracks (vanilla ice cream with peanut butter and fudge swirl with chocolate peanut butter cups) and vanilla (I gave him crap for ordering vanilla of all flavours!). They didn't have bear claw, which is the flavour I wanted, but I was happy with my choices. Kawartha ice cream is always delicious and you can tell the ice cream here is very fresh because there's no ice chunks. The pricing on the ice cream here is outrageous...ly cheap. $3.50 for a "double scoop" of ice cream, tax in?! Unheard of! Especially in Toronto. The double scoop was really a quadruple scoop, if not more. I had a hard time finishing all my ice cream and had to share with my dog, who eagerly gobbled everything up. You can also sit on top of the boat and enjoy the view and breeze while also enjoying your ice cream. All in all, I'd totally come back to this place for ice cream if I'm ever in the area.

Great place to grab an ice cream on the water! Love that they serve Kawartha Dairy ice cream…read more It's a neat old house boat-type boat, with the ice cream shop on the main level, and tables and chairs up above where you can enjoy your treat outside while enjoying the view. One thing that does make me nervous is that the upper level railings are not very enclosed and serve as almost a ladder for kids/toddlers. Adding some plexiglass to enclose it would make it feel safer, or changing the railings altogether. One of my new favourite stops on cottage weekends!

We decided to stop by here for some fish and chips. This place is busy even at 2pm. We were met…read morewith Christmas music in July and great hospitality. The owner explained that the cod tongues were like the neck of the cod and had a chewier texture (like calamari) while the cod cheeks were tender and more like scallop texture. Food: Cod tongue with onion rings - you get a dozen or some pieces of deep fried cod tongue - they were pretty good though I'm not sure I'm a connoisseur enough to appreciate it. Still great though! 4/5. Cod cheeks were also quite good with a similar number of pieces. Again, I probably couldn't appreciate well enough the difference between the two so they seemed similar but still tasty. The custom lemon, dill sauce was great to dip in! 4/5. Pickerel - this is a massive piece of fish and chip. The batter is delicious and the fish was moist and flaky. Totally with every dollar! Beside the fish and chips is a ice cream stand that sells kawartha dairy in massive scoops. Be aware that small is two huge scoops, baby is 1.5 huge scoops! Price: Pretty reasonable for fish and chips, and great value for ice cream! Definitely recommend if your a big fish and chips fan!

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.

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!
