Love coming here, winter and summer!! Despite the lines being especially long in the summer, it's just all part of the summer bucket list experience feel. The interior isn't too big but they do have seats with tables. They also have a large selection of icecream tubs as well, milk, cheese, snacks and merch. One thing I would note, is that depending on the worker, the size of the ice cream varies. Nonetheless, the baby size feels more than enough to me personally. I highly recommend coming, especially during the summer seasons when you're looking for a nice cooling dessert. ALSO!! If you check out their instagram every now and again, they post a BOGO coupon for an icecream cone! read more

Kawartha Dairy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream is one of my favourite ice cream shops here in Canada. I've always been fond of their selection, which I always buy at the supermarket. However, this location offers a wide variety of flavours, from classic to unique, as well as seasonal and new additions to their menu. They serve scoops of ice cream or turn it into a milkshake. The scoops are generous, and you might need to share them with someone unless you're a sweet tooth. The staff here are friendly and welcoming. We visited on the weekend, which was very busy, so be prepared to wait in line. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back to buy more ice cream! read more

Worth the drive, parking is a big issue and whats holding it back from 5 stars (see solution below). I happened to be in the area and decided to try out the new Nanaimo bar flavour. I ordered a small size and the other yelpers aren't wrong when its sized opposite of a small. There is a drivethrough section but is accessible only through Alexander Rd. read more

Of course. Here are a few options for a review of Kawartha Ice Cream, ranging from short and sweet to more detailed. Option 1 (Short & Sweet): Kawartha Ice Cream is a must-try! Incredibly rich, creamy, and made with real ingredients. The flavours are amazing and the scoops are generous. A true Canadian classic worth every calorie! Option 2 (Detailed & Descriptive): If you're looking for the creamiest, most decadent ice cream in Ontario, look no further than Kawartha. This is ice cream the way it's meant to be--thick, rich, and packed with flavour. Their famous Moose Tracks is a masterpiece with its perfect vanilla base, generous fudge swirls, and mini peanut butter cups. The quality is consistently outstanding. It's a premium product that's absolutely worth the price for a special treat. A genuine taste of cottage country! Option 3 (Nostalgic & Charming): Kawartha Ice Cream tastes like a Canadian summer. Every scoop is pure nostalgia. The texture is unbelievably smooth and creamy, never icy. Whether you get a classic like Chocolate or a specialty flavour, you can taste the quality. It's a simple pleasure that never disappoints. Perfect for enjoying on a sunny day. read more

This Kawartha Dairy has a great choice of ice cream flavours. The people behind the counter are courteous and helpful. This one is located inside a variety store, so not much of an ambience There's plenty of parking available. read more

Biggest portions ever & so many flavours! You can't go to Newmarket and not get Kawartha's ice cream, when you know their store is located there. Parking is a tight one, small area and lots of cars. They also have a drive through that's so convenient but lines are long and goes out of the lot onto the road with cars waiting to get in. Going into the shop there's lots of seating, lots of fridge space that holds milk, ice cream, cheese, butter and other dairy products. But the star of the show is definitely the line up to get scoops of ice cream! There's A LOT of flavours to choose from and they have sizes of baby, small and huge. I opted for the small chocolate chip cookie dough and cherry thunder and was blown away by the portion sizing. It was HUGE! It's big enough to share with 3 people in my opinion and it was so creamy and delicious, as all Kawartha ice cream is. It's quite reasonably priced and bang for your buck. If you're in the area this is a must try spot - who can say no to some large portion ice cream? read more

Hands down my favourite I've cream place!!

This local brand is quite famous around here. Many flavors can only be tasted by visiting the store, but some of them you can find in supermarkets. We tried two flavors, both with a strong milky taste: Coconut (friends say it's famous) and salted caramel. Both flavors are really delicious!! They are worth a try and the prices are quite reasonable(*´｀*) 加拿大本土製雪糕 都幾出名 點都要試下本土野嘅 好多味都係要親身去到店舖先有得食 簡左兩款都奶味重既味 椰子(朋友話椰子係好出名) 同埋salted caramel 兩款都真係幾好食(*´｀*) 覺得都真係可以try try! 擔心唔好食都可以係店到叫店員比你試一試味先 價錢上都好平 familysize一大筒都係$8個幾 叫S size現場都大份到我地4個人share！！ read more

Great selection of dairy products Huge variety of ice cream flavors. My favorites are Muskoka Mocha, Pistachio almond, Mocha almond fudge. I always buy a milkshake when i go there. This place is about 80kM from my house and the drive is totally worth it. Their regular milk is also different ( good different) I would highly recommend it.. Friendly staff Free parking around the facility. Not sure why we cannot find these variations in regular grocery store and couldn't find Kawartha milk as well. read more

Came here around 3 pm, just in time to beat the long line that followed after me. Their drive thru was closed at the time due to a lack of staff but there was adequate space to stand in line. Personally felt the wait wasn't too long, but I heard some people behind me getting impatient. I appreciate that service remains friendly through it all. My sister and I ordered the Key Lime Pie (resembled the dessert, not to sweet though we wish it was a little more tart, with the highlight being the graham cracker bits) and Creamy Orange (the perfect balance of creamy and fruity, not too sweet) as baby scoops for $3.99 each, but they were quite big! Their ice cream is truly delicious and worth the wait. read more

I recently came across this ice cream shop and I'm so glad I did! The ice cream was great and i found it interesting that they offered so many different items inside the ice cream shop like varieties of products (milk,cream, chocolate milk, pre-packs, cheese/meat). They also have a drive thru window which is nice! All the workers were really kind and the I love how big the serving size was per scoop! I find other ice cream shops to be ungenerous about little things like extra cups/spoons/serving size but this place is not. The parking lot can get a little busy and there isn't many seats inside. However there are benches outside the shop. I would definitely come by again! read more

Yum!!! Firstly, This place has a DRIVE-THRU!!! I've been here 4 times and every time I've tried a different flavour and this place doesn't miss! Every flavour I've tried is so satisfying! Fresh, rich, creamy ice cream! Definitely the freshest ice cream I've ever had! My favourite so far is the raspberry thunder! And the mint chocolate chip, and the death by chocolate, and Chocolate chip cookie dough, okay, maybe everything I've tried is my favourite! 5 read more

Perfect for a treat, especially on a summer day! Ice cream is very creamy and smooth, good quality. Don't be fooled by their 'baby' scoops, they are super generous; definitely worth what you pay! They offer a very comprehensive list of flavours, and though it took us a while to decide, the staffs were very patient. *They currently don't allow customers in-store due to covid; there's only a drive-through and a window where you walk up to order.* The Pistachio Almond ($5.99+tax) was tangy and the pieces of almond are a nice mix-in. The waffle cone was giant just like the scoops. Wasn't sure what Tiger Tail ($3.99+tax for cup) is when I ordered but it tasted like orange and it was citrusy, reminded me of creamsicles! Both flavours were very refreshing and not overly sweet. We also bought a 1.5L tub of Black Raspberry Thunder ($7.30 after-tax). The bits of white chocolate add a good crunch. Flavour isn't as intense and it's not that sweet either. read more

As a follow up from the previous review the ice cream flavor I purchased was Key Lime Pie. Creamy and not too sweet but would have preferred a little tartness but on whole an outstanding and unique flavour. I will return and perhaps give another flavor a go. So much to choose from. read more

Husband and I are obsessed with this place. We just moved into town and while we always loved Kawartha ice cream, we did not know we had THE WHOLE STORE right around the corner from us! Happiest place on Earth. We now always have a tub (or two) in our freezer and will get a scoop while we're there restocking to make it a date. They also carry cheese, salami, cookies, fudge, and some groceries. Bonus: if you buy a 1.5L tub of ice cream, you can buy a 4L bag of their milk for only $2.50 (or $2.49?). What a steal! And yes their milk is also amazing. read more

This place is so close to our apartment. I'm kinda lactose intolerant but this summer with our nieces and nephews staying over got us hooked on their delicious ice cream. Every single day during the summer when we are on our way shopping or running errands, the line up can go as far as queen street! Now that they have opened inside with careful social distancing, there are less cars on the main road. These girls that work there are sooooo funny and kind. Quick and sufficient. I'm obsessed with their butterscotch ripple and their salty caramel truffle. Such a big cup of ice cream for under 5 bucks! My husband and my brother always get the cotton candy which is unbelievable so good. Still super creamy and not too sweet. They also sell dairy products which is a plus! Happy eating fellow yelpers and stay SAFE FRIENDS til WE EAT AGAIN! read more

Kawarta Dairy located on 5 Alexander Road off of Davis Dr. Newmarket. Really cool, they have a drive through as well as Lots of parking, and sitting areas. Where do I begin..... With over 20+ flavours of ice-cream which are creamy and delicious. Something for everyone. Moose tracks or salty caramel are just two of my favourites. Cone/cups come in three sizes "Baby- 1 scoop"; "Small - 2 scoops" and "Large - 3 scoops". Bare in mind their scoops are generous. Price points are good $4.50 for a baby cone and $5.50 for a small. I ordered a small waver cone and was surprised at much ice cream I got. And yes it was delicious to the last drop. This location also sells many dairy items from the Kawartha Dairy such as milk, cream, eggs, cheese, and butter. Along the walls houses freezer section of take home tubs of ice cream as well as displays of jars of home made jams, honey, maple butter and baked goods. I plan to go back and purchase a few of these yummy items and of course try a different flavour of ice cream. Don't let your summer pass you by without visiting this location. They are open 9-9 Mon-Sat. 10-9 on Sunday. Extended summer hours they open until 11:00 p.m. read more

Kawartha Dairy - Divine Mercy of JESUS CHRIST my LORD and Saviour. JESUS I trust in you Amen - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

Yesterday night we dropped by with our two kids, wasn't hoping much but got a lot. First of all, it's felt like a tiny supermarket, more of a diary shop where you can buy milk and cheese products as well. Lots of flavors of ice cream, so we got the 'mango' flavor in a small cup. The portion was humongous, it's more than 4 scoops. Enough for a family of 2 adults and 2 toddlers and it was like under $4 for the small cup. If you go to places like Baskin Robbins, it more like $4 for a small scoop. Like I said, it's more of a diary shop with focus on ice creams and that's one of the reasons why it's so cheap compared to other ice cream chains you normally find in malls. The mango flavor was good, next time will go back with the kids and try different other flavors. There is also bar style seating for you to enjoy your ice cream, also it's got a drive-thru as well. Definitely check them out! read more

I can't believe these guys opened up in York Region. This is a bad thing and also a great thing. Beyond the icecream service section with 20+ flavours, the store is quite big, with a massive selection of ice cream pints you normally wouldn't find in a super market. Additionally, there's a great selection of farm cheese to indulge in. They also have a general trading store section as well for spices and syrups, etc. I'm a big fan and can't wait to go back. It's super helpful that the store has a drive through, and is open late (till 10pm). read more

One of my favourite places to go for a quick dessert! The ice cream is always great and they have many flavours. It gets quite busy in the summer but they are pretty quick. Their scoops are always huge, even if you order the baby size. They even have a drive thru which is great when you need to fix a quick winter craving. The store is large and clean and all the staff I've encountered are always friendly. They carry other Kawartha Dairy products other than ice cream - milk, cheese, butter etc. They also have jams, pickled veg, sauces, fudge, nuts... The only problem is that the parking lot is quite small so it can get very very busy. Guess we all have to walk off that ice cream! read more

A Newmarket pillar in the summer time, there are always families lined up at the door and drive through of the Kawartha Dairy! Great flavours covering your classic flavours to some unique creations with cookies and brownie mixed in, nice staff and you can't beat the convenience of a drive thru ice cream parlour during the covid pandemic, they also make great shakes. Best thing is they give my dog a free puppy cone of milk ice cream every time we go visit so the whole family can enjoy the trip! Love this local spot, my favourite flavour is the wolf paws! A little pricier than average but good quality food, service and we can support local business! read more

5 stars does not do Kawartha Dairy justice. Hands down the best ice cream I've ever had, and trust me, I've had a lot of ice cream in my lifetime. They have so many flavours, and they're all creamy perfection. My favourite part about them is that they don't make their ice creams overly sweet, so you don't end up getting sick of your ice cream halfway through eating it. It was quite packed on a Monday night at 9:30pm (they close at 10). There was a line of about 15 people when we got there, but the line moved quite quickly. They serve you as an entire group (my whole family was served together), rather than individually, which I think is very effective! I got the baby scoop in a waffle cone, and the scoop was way larger than I had expected. It was the same size as a regular scoop at any other ice cream shop and it was more than enough for me. After seeing the size of my scoop, my entire family also decided to order baby scoops as well. They're way more than just an ice cream shop. They also have jams, pickled vegetables, cheeses, milk, cream, chips, tarts, nuts, and different kinds of fudges. They also have ice cream cakes and tubs of ice cream to take to go. The parking lot is pretty small and can get full, but they have a drive through which helps with the parking lot congestion. There also isn't that much seating on the inside, but they have plenty of benches outside. I will definitely be frequenting Kawartha Dairy to try all of their flavours! read more

Gotta have KD-Kawartha Dairy, that is. No soft serve here, this is scooped ice cream in a variety of outrageous flavors. Moose tracks anyone? Not only do they sell ice cream, but they have the usual Kawartha Dairy offerings like fresh milk, a variety of cheeses, an interesting selection of sausages, and of course a wall full of coolers filled with take-home tubs of ice cream and cakes. You won't go just once! read more

My family and I have been a fan of Kawartha's Vanilla ice cream sold at Costco for a few years now, so I was super excited when I heard they were opening a shop close to home. I paid a visit to this location on the corner of Alexander Road and Davis Drive in Newmarket on a Sunday at around 8PM with a friend for the very first time. For a stand alone store that sells ice cream, I was shocked to see that most of the parking spots were filled and there was a line up for the drive through. I had to park in front of the store next door. I would think this place would be the busiest after dinner time on the weekends, so to avoid the rush I'd suggest visiting during the day if you can. Besides... there's no designated time to have ice cream, it can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner right? As you walk into the store, you'll be faced with a few freezers filled with Kawartha ice cream tubs for sale. Just around the corner will be where you order your ice cream to go with a huge menu hung on the wall. There were many flavours to choose from, some you won't normally see in supermarkets, so I definitely had to choose the more uniques ones to try. I ended up ordering a scoop of Bordeaux-Cherry and their Cookies and Cream in a cup. The staff were very generous with their scoops and super friendly. I'm not usually a cherry fan, especially growing up taking really bad tasting cherry flavoured cold medicine, but the name intrigued me so I was curious and decided to give it a try. The colouring was definitely not your typical pink or red. It was more of a purple wine red colour with real cherries in it. It tasted unusual at first because I haven't tasted anything similar in the past, but giving it a deeper thought, it's exactly how the fruit would taste like in ice cream form. It's definitely not your usual artificial cherry flavour which was nice and was also creamy. The cookies and cream was creamy too and not too sweet, just how I like it. Definitely will be back another time to check a few other flavours off my list. read more

Kawartha probably has the best of any ice cream shops. I just wish they came further south and closer to home. That being said when you get close to one... stop and get your fill.

I am so happy to have a Kawartha Dairy in my town. The ice cream is great, but the sizes are silly big. I had the kids size and it was massive. Decent price for what you get. They also encouraged sampling of their flavours. When you got it, flaunt it right? I tried the cherry but ended up with the black raspberry thunder. They also had a special for a container of ice cream and 4L of milk which was too good to pass up. Overall great place, better in summer I would assume. read more

So many different flavours. Their ice cream are so good. Baby (1 scoop) Small (2 scoops) Huge (3 scoops).
