Homely ice cream shop near the beach.
Joye's Ice Cream Parlor has been serving affordable Kawartha treats beside Minet's Point Park for a long time. We found the large "ice cream" sign and parked at the front after a beach day. Entering this shop, we were instantly transported back decades. The interior was dated while the wall was plastered with past customer photos, antiques & nostalgic artwork.
On menu were Kawartha ice creams for $4 for a single scoop kids cone, $5 for 2 scoops, and $6 for 3 scoops. We were able to replace the regular cone with a plastic cup. Chocolate moosetrack, vanilla & bubble gum flavors were creamy just as we remembered. Waffle cone was $1 more but they ran out of milk and didn't have milkshake. The young staff was courteous.
Skip it or hit it? It's a neat dessert stop for a blast from the past. read more
