It's a hot day…read more.. Just left the beach way out in Clam Harbour (you did read that review right?) Now I'm in the mood for some ice cream. Check my truth worthy yelp and first on the list in the (sort of) near area is Crocodile Ice Cream. I have lots of time so I plug in the address into TomTom and make my way on to this little haven of sugary goodness. Any place that serves Scotsburn is already going to get a plus in my book. Have that "OMG get in my face Melted Snowman" flavor and you're gonna get a double plus bonus score! +++++++ Add super friendly service and a cool patio to sit and you're getting 4 stars easily!

A full selection of Farmers and Scotsburn flavours means you'll be spending a fair amount of your visit asking, 'and what's that one again?' as you make your way through the names that give no indication of what to expect. Shall I make it easy for you? You're going to want the Peanut Butter Fudge Crunch. (Hat tip to Meegan D for the suggestion) We scored two smalls in freshly baked waffle cones for under $5 which is a helluva steal. The smalls were the perfect size too-no melty, sticky mess on the way home.

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.

I got a small cup of chocolate brownie ice cream but their main thing was a cotton candy dessert. Looked cool but I didn't want anything too big. The ice cream was good but not at the top of my list. That's why I took off one star. But I would definitely say to give it a try if you've never been here. Very tasty. I'm just picky.

After hearing musings about the seafood at What's the Scoop I admit, curiosity got the better of…read moreme. After all, how could an "ice cream place" possibly also know their stuff about entrees as well? Well on my recent visit I was converted. I am actually going to go out on a limb and say that I think I might prefer the fish here to the fish at Wharf Wraps across the street and that's saying something! We decided to go back and sample "anything but ice cream" this time and boy were we pleasantly surprised. I had heard nothing but rave reviews of the lobster roll so that's what I ordered. Hubby ordered the 2 piece fish and chips and we got the chicken nugget combo for the boys. I also ordered fries to go with my lobster roll. The lobster roll was awesome. Served in a soft and hot dog bun (the ones that come in a package of 12, not a package of 8 - you know the ones I mean...) it was overflowing with lobster. The flavour was mouthwatering and the only negative I can think of was that I like the addition of celery to my lobster sandwich. But, the huge positive is that it was a mere $7.00 (taxes included!). SEVEN dollars for a lobster sandwich. Amazing. The fries were homecut (I'm one of those rare people who prefer frozen) but they served the purpose and were adequate ketchup conveyors for our little boys. Their nuggets were sadly of the mystery-meat variety but you win some, you lose some. The big surprise was the fish and chips which I've already alluded to as being the surprise hit of the visit. Two generous pieces (the two together make up the same size as the one piece at Wharf Wraps) were cooked to perfection with light batter and the inside boasted white flaky succulent haddock. And the kicker? Only $10.00 (taxes included) which is four dollars cheaper than the competition. While you give up the ambiance and table service of Wharf Wraps if you're looking for a quick take out option that is still delicious with a quick turn around What's the Scoop is the way to go. We'll definitely be back. A side note: all prices include tax but they are CASH ONLY so be sure to stop at a banking machine before getting in line :-)

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 kiosk is on the corner of two crossing walkways and easy to find. You get the feel of the boardwalk and it feels just like a fair. All the flavors are amazing and the cones are all freshly made and crunchy. Order: - peach and raspberry - brownies The ice cream is closer to a soft serve in terms of texture and "meltiness", lick fast as it will start melting on you quick. The scoop size is about the outer circumference of your index finger and thumb, a bit small, but definitely yummy. A double scoop hit the sweet spot. Service was quick, and you can try any of the flavors before buying. The flavors change often, get your favorites while you can. Will be getting COWs anytime I'm in town. Also check out their bigger store just north of the kiosk for puny souvenirs and other COWs paraphernalia.

As we stood in the streets of Halifax one of us mentioned ice cream and one of the other of us looked up from our phones to see COWS about 75 feet away from us. It was purely accidental, I swear. Then again, if fate deals you a good hand, you take it. This COWS location is located along the waterfront in a large, expansive area of shops and restaurants, and vendors. Inside this place is awesome. I'm going to guess there we well over 30 flavors of ice cream, each one calling my name. The names of their ice cream flavours are funny/whimsical/appropriate. Things like Lemoon lime bar, Cownadian Maple, and Cookie Moonster...you get the drift. A lot of cow-based inspiration. My ice cream of choice was Coffee...and it was SOOOO good. Then there's the merchandise. Aisles and Rows of shirts, hoodies, sweaters, socks, jackets, hats...the list goes on. So Many T-shirts with cow-related puns, and all so fun. The staff at COWS appear to enjoy their jobs and they have fun while working. And why not? It's a fun, relaxed atmosphere and you're surrounded by ice cream!

A Sweet Canadian Classic - Always a Must-Stop!…read more We make it a tradition to stop at Cow's anytime we spot one--especially out east--and the Halifax Waterfront location is no exception. This place is a true Canadian gem. The ice cream is always top-notch--super creamy, rich, and full of flavour. Plus, we love browsing the fun merch and other quirky products while we're there. Whether you're after a sweet treat or just want to soak up the fun vibes, Cow's is always worth the stop. A classic East Coast experience!
