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!

As the weather was gorgeous, it was perfect to grab some ice cream. There was quite a crowd and line up as it was a bit of a hot day, but the line moved quickly and we got our ice creams, chocolate and espresso. Enjoyed the ice cream walking around town.

We ordered the strawberry cheesecake, which had large pieces of cake embedded within the cheese cake, served with a fruit compote, and topped with white chocolate, of course this hits the spot for your sweet cravings. We also had the New York style strawberry topped cheesecake, nice but a little eggie for me. The dreamers cookie tastes a little different from what I remember, the caramel is a little more runny than before, but the flavours were on point! Would definitely travel the two hours to get this again. We had a beautiful view of the town sitting on this elevated private area of the cafe with my girl friends. This take truly is a delight, and I hope I don't have to wait another two years to visit again!

The total cost per ice cream is around $12. There was no seating area but plenty of space so I don't know if this is because the furniture has not arrived.

You can actually go inside the apple and climb to the top for a view of the entire area. There are also stalls in the front selling fresh apples and produce, restaurants and cafes, boutique shops selling fresh fudge and cider. They also have a bunch of family attractions like mini golf, rides, and a petting zoo. Perhaps, what they are most known for is their bakery selling fresh apple pies, apple bread, cider, fritters and variety of seasonal baked goods. There is also an open-kitchen display window so you can watch how they bake their products. We decided to eat at the smoke house restaurant. A full rack of ribs, fries and a blooming onion costed $55. The ribs were flavorful and tender but I thought fries and onion were just very average and overpriced. I would skip those next time. Since I was watching my sugar intake, I skipped out on the more popular items and opted for a few scones and muffins for the drive back home. The scones were so rich, buttery and very crumbly on the outside with a dense interior. It was so savory and delicious. The muffins were very good as well and to my surprise wasn't too sweet. This was such a charming little town. I would definitely come back again next time I drive eastward. I think their bakery items are really good and were very reasonable in price. I'll try their famous apple fritter and apple bread next time I come back.

I dropped by here for apple pie, and also picked up some butter tarts, apple fritters and apple & strawberry fritter. The apple pie is quite nice and has a tartness to it for the no added sugar version and I also prefer it cold/fridge. Some prefer it hot and warmed up with ice cream which is an excellent option as well. The butter tarts were also surprisingly nice, gooey in the center with a nice light pie crust. I wouldn't recommend the apple fritter or the apple & strawberry fritter - mine was a bit too much dough, dense and a tad dry and mot to my preference. The store also has some souvenirs to purchase as well as a few hot foot options too if you're passing by and want a touristy type of feel which I quite enjoy. There's also a lot of tour busses that stop here which makes sense as it's a nice quick stop right off the highway.
