It may be a late summer addition but Sweet Caroline's Ice Cream & Treats will welcome you with open-armed hospitality, great service and chalk-boards full of 'Kool' sweet selections! These frosty delights and toppings can be dressed in scrumptious homemade waffle cones or slathered on top of Poffertjes, a traditional Dutch treat of mini, fluffy pancakes made with yeast and buckwheat flour. The name alone invokes visions of carnivals, festivities and palatal pleasure! This is a worthwhile trip, yielding a delightful beginning!

They have a spectacular selection of flavours, so there's always something to like. They offer several kinds of dipped waffle cones, all prepared in-house.

Just to note: this is walk up and order at a window type service, and the line up is often long. Don't come on a rainy day without an umbrella, but come anyways because this place is a hidden gem!

Great location and customer service…read more Scones: Decent. A little sweet (which I like), served with whipped cream and strawberry jam. Fruit: The fruit was the best part of all our meals here. It was so fresh and sweet, which I thought would be difficult to find outside of California! I also enjoyed it with cottage cheese, which is not so common at breakfast spots in California unfortunately. Tea: The tea is enjoyable but pretty average when compared to bougier tea spots like The Bruce in Stratford. It's not clear how long I should let it steep for for optimal flavor. I preferred the Winter Dream green tea, which was warm and cozy, slightly sweet. I also preferred the McCrae over the Boathouse blend. The Boathouse blend was a little basic for me, and the McCrae had a slight sweetness that I enjoyed. High Tea: Average - a good price and pleasant experience, especially if the weather is nice enough to eat outside (and catch a bald eagle flying by!). My favorite dessert was the carrot cake cupcake. Ice Cream: Yes, ice cream and tea is definitely a good idea! The banana cream pie tastes like your classic Runts banana flavor (the original banana that got wiped out) and the black cherry has plenty of big cherry pieces. Great servings, and we loved that they served them in reusable bowls instead of disposable ones. Would definitely come again!

If you follow the route, it leads to another bigger parking lot. Parking is free! Reservations are highly recommended. My guest and I made a reservation for two for 1:30pm. It was very busy when we walked in. We got a table right by the door. There were artwork and paintings hung all around the cafe - it was cute. I ordered an afternoon tea set, as well as an extra breakfast burrito for my guest and I to share. There is a tea menu to look at all the various options they have. It was nice to see that they had many options to choose. Our set came with mini sandwiches, scones and dessert and fruits. I would definitely come back to visit - it would be nice to come in the summer and book a table out on their patio.

Cones nice, shakes awesome. Definitely would return if I'm in the area again, but at least I know if I want the same, just seek out Shaw's.

Great ice cream place!…read more I love their ice cream so much! They also have really creative names and the ice cream itself are so yummy.

There are a lot of wonderful shops, and it's very walkable. We stopped in this story, which is nominally an olive oil and herbs shop, but because it was summertime and it is hot, I suspect they decided to diversify, and they also have some ice cream. It was good, but not jump-out-of-your-skin wonderful. The counter was a little disorganized for checking out, but it seems like it would be a better place to visit for olive oil purposes.

I was here on a walking culinary tour…read more The tour met at our first stop where we were introduced to Harisson, our fabulous tour guide. The Village Olive Grove is a gourmet extra virgin olive oil and vinegar shop that imports from all over the world. There we learned how to tell if extra virgin olive oil is authentic and how it's made. We also learned how to taste vinegar without the acidic flavour getting in the way. Just when you think you're a foodie, you learn something new! Love it! Last, but not least, we sampled Mapleton's Organic Ice Cream. It was flavoured with dandelion. It had a mild mocha flavour. Pretty good! We all looked worried when he said it was made with dandelion, but were all impressed. The owner is very knowledgeable and will allow you to sample any oil or vinegar in the store. The prices are higher than grocery stores, but you're here for the quality and you will definitely get it!

I was told that this is the best ice cream here and I was not disappointed !!! Me and my boyfriend both got the second smallest size for the ice cream cone. It was just the right size to satisfy my craving but also not feel too guilty about eating too much ice cream. I got the dark chocolate with raspberry crumbs. The dark chocolate went so well with the vanilla ice cream and the raspberry. It was a very good balance without tasting overwhelmingly sweet. I definitely recommend this combination if you are a fan of dark chocolate. I also tried my boyfriend's Oreo combination. It was good for a few bites but definitely got too sweet for me after more bites. My boyfriend liked it more than my dark chocolate though. Overall I enjoyed the ice cream here!!! I can see myself coming here every day during the summer if I'm a Guelph resident LOL :)
