Great little ice cream place! Decided to visit here after a recommendation from a friend, and I was…read morepleasantly surprised. I tried the lemon blueberry swirl & the croissant chocolate smash. Both these flavours were super unique and flavourful.. but of the two, the croissant chocolate smash was my fav! I loved that the ice cream had small bits of croissant and chocolate - I never had any ice cream flavour like this before and I really enjoyed the flavour and texture. I would definitely visit this place again if I'm in the area. Highly recommend!

The most amazing ice cream in Halifax, no contest. It's an independent local business that's not…read moreafraid to up the game with new and exciting flavours as well as the classics. I stop by every summer for their rhubarb and ginger, but everything they touch is brilliant, even some as ubiquitous as vanilla. Treat yourself. Better yet, treat someone you really like.

I absolutely love this location. In Ontario Marble Slabs are run by servers age 19 to 40, and…read morehonestly feel real stale. So I took someone for their free birthday scoop. The front was run with teenagers who had the endless smiles on their faces, when they saw the birthday boy- they all wished happy birthday with such excitement willing to have fun. When he birthday boy just ordered gummy bears- she's like you want one scoop, then asked again- she was so nice piling four scoops of gummy bears and even offered a waffle bowl because the ice cream was melting. The location was huddle and bustle- they also weigh all the orders here to ensure they hit the size requirement for "size."

It didn't take me long to decide what I wanted bc I saw the word s'mores so it's no contest for me after that lol! I got the Gimme S'mores fog cup which has their signature creamy soft serve mixed with graham crackers and chocolate sauce, and topped with toasted marshmallow merengue and their giant cloud of fog cotton candy!! If I was a kid, I'm sure I would've eaten the entire thing haha!! It was delicious but insanely sweet as you can imagine. I could only manage a couple of nibbles on the cotton candy - it had a great flavor but is just straight sugar so I couldn't handle more lol. But the rest went down too easy and was a fun choice. My hubby wasn't feeling as childish as me and just went with a little scoop of his go-to mint chocolate chip topped with chocolate sauce - excellent flavor and texture in this one as well and the small scoop was just right. If you're not feeling the ice cream, they also offer cookies and donuts - ample choices of flavors and they looked fabulous as well. The shop is sleek and clean with benches inside and some whimsical patio seating outside to take advantage of their harbor views. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portions. Staff were very friendly. Location is excellent - right along Halifax's popular Harborwalk. Very easy to get to as a pedestrian and tourist but I imagine driving here would be a nightmare bc parking is difficult in Halifax imo and there's so much construction going on at the moment.

COWS Ice cream is a super popular beloved Canadian brand that started on Prince Edward Island…read more(PEI). The ice cream is made with 100% cow milk from PEI including all the butterfat that makes ice cream taste so good. Ingredients are original and flavorful. COWS locations are in many places in town. I tried the basic vanilla to grade it against others and it was excellent. It was fun getting a scoop and walking the boardwalk.

Being from PNW, we take ice cream very seriously. Growing up on Tillamook and Umpqua ice cream…read moremakes me very picky about what I consider good ice cream. This place is legit! The ice cream is creamy and delicious. The mix-in to ice cream ratio is spot on. Excellent amount of flavors to choose from. Friendly and helpful staff. Cute souvenirs. Also their ability to turn anything into a cow pun is "chef's kiss" Highly recommend if you're an ice cream fan. There will be a line but it moves fast! Only complaint was the waffle cone was a little thick at the end so hard to chew, and the cone wasn't filled with ice cream.

I heard about them because they are really good at advertising. But I and others don't like their style of "ice cream". I am trying to be as polite as possible about this, why do my reviews keep getting deleted? When you provide a business service you should be open to criticism and public scrutiny.

While it is a bit overpriced…read more(I had a matcha custard taiyaki with a milk iced coffee (T52 coffee) for almost 10 dollars), it was worth it, and I want to come back before leaving Halifax. The house coffee, T52, was very tasty. The shopkeeper introduced it to me as the "special double double," but I'd say it's the usual Korean milk coffee. It was creamy, pleasantly sweet, but not too sweet like the actual double-double. The matcha custard taiyaki was the star of all of these - the outer layer was super crispy (it even had some pieces fall off as the "chips," which I could use to dip the whipped cream and chocolate sauce on the plate). The taiyaki cake itself was just perfect. It was crispy on the outside but super soft and creamy inside, and very fresh and hot. The custard was sweet, comforting and delicious, which was perfectly paired with the outer buttery skin. I don't think anything else could beat this combo as the perfect breakfast. The shop was super clean, well-organized and comfortable. The service was excellent. I love this cafe. 4 stars because it's a bit pricy.
