A small scoop is sufficient to fill you and cool off. The ice cream is decent but the flavour could be a little stronger. They have about 20 flavours in the soft serve plus more ice cream scoops. A delight if you have a sweet tooth or kids. A small scoop was about $5 with tax. They also have a food station attached so you could grab a quick bite as well as a live band and tables to relax.

When we asked the staff at the food stall if we could park in the adjacent parking lot (for a dental office that was surely not open), their response was, "I dunno, you can do whatever you want." After paying through our nose for an ice cream cone, a frozen yogurt and a hot dog, we sat on their patio with picnic tables to enjoy our treat all the while keeping an eye on our car in the said parking lot. Needless to say, the food was nothing to write home about but the service was so rude, I would rather give my business to someone else next time we're back in town.

Perfect summer stop!…read more Kawartha Dairy in Cobourg is such a fun spot to stop, especially during the summer. They have a great variety of ice cream flavours, and everything we tried was delicious! The shop also has a cute little gift shop with lots of fun things to browse. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

Comparing it to most other ice cream places, it has an abundance of choices and extremely generous portions. The girl who served us told me a small is two scoops, which is more than enough for one person. I may be wrong, but I think they give you a pint or close to it in one small serving. And the selections deliver an explosion of flavour. I had the sherbet, which was refreshing with its lemon and lime profile contrasted by raspberry... And the experience when you sit inside is quaint and fits the small-town vibe that Cobourg gives off-- I liked the Muskoka chairs.

The place is fairly spacious, and they have a bunch of cool things to buy (the Kawartha cow was adorable). They also have a nice and clean bathroom, which can be unusual for ice cream shops. They had a couple of tables outside where we ate our ice cream. All in all, a great place to stop by for ice cream!

Located just outside Peterborough, Central Smith is worth a stop for ice cream. Founded in 1896,…read moreCentral Smith began the exclusive production of ice cream in 1952. The side of the building has the Dream Guide. Choose from classic scoops, sundaes, banana splits, milkshakes, frozen yogurt, bars, or tubes to take home. Choose from the flavours of the day (there were thirty the day we went), and then round the corner to order and the next window for pickup. Prices are very reasonable, and flavours are delicious. We all enjoyed our ice cream. Instagram: @central_smith

However we got bogo coupons from the farm fest so we drove all the way there just to be told that the coupons were no longer valid after 4pm. The coupons only stated specifically 'valid on October 12th' there was absolutely no mention of the time. They couldn't even make an exception to honor even one out of two coupons we had. My kids were standing there hoping to get their ice cream. It was extremely disappointing, the service is not good.

They make their coffee with Balzac beans and while I love Balzac's, I found the latte underwhelming and expensive. It was just not pulled properly. The smoothie was pretty good. It has a nice vibe and is small and cozy, suitable for a quick bite but I would say not for large groups to gather or for one to stay and study there. They also have a few baked goods like cookies but no sandwiches or hearty items when I went. Wished they had more to eat. Might visit again and try their frozen yogurt.

We tried their vegan soft serve yogurt, had excellent toppings with fresh fruit, ok but not great. Bottom line, great place if you are into vegan, different taste experiences but sorry, not for us.
