Ahhhh Molly. Will you marry me and feed me sugary frozen treats until death do us part?…read more I have great memories associated with this ice cream shop. In one sense there is nothing special about it except it has a huge seating area and enough ice cream to house a family of Penguins. Assuming penguins would want to live in ice cream. Or maybe that's just me. Anyway, in another sense, it's a great spot to jet out too, close enough to Truro that you could go there often, but far enough away that you feel like you're sneaking off for a summer treat. I love the oversized Adirondack chairs out front and always insist on eating my ice cream there to watch people and enjoy the sun. Molly's is my summer guilty pleasure. Meet you there sometime?

What a great discovery that we wish we knew about sooner! The place doesn't look like much from the…read moreoutside and inside is small and could use updating, but the cheesecake is excellent. Slices will run you $12-18, but you are getting quality here. No cheap ingredients and nothing is overly sweet. Tastes exactly as a cheesecake should. Options are limited but rotating. The seating set up isn't great and neither is the use of space, so we suggest walking up to the counter and taking your order to go. Staff is super friendly and helpful and asked if we had been before - something everywhere should do. Overall a really great choice. No hype; just great cheesecake.

My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch while visiting Truro, as it one of the local places that…read moregarnered nods from multiple people when I solicited recommendations on social media. The interior is a cute space - the nooks and crannies of a converted old home with lots of British memorabilia and kitsch. There was a decent-sized crowd for mid-afternoon, mid-week, but we were seen to quickly and our food came out in good time as well. My wife is a big fan of sausage rolls, so when we saw that GBC has one, it was an easy choice for her. It was impressively meaty, and had a light and flaky wrap. My steak and Guinness meat pie came out scorching hot and I endured some mild mouth burns in my hunger, but it was worth it. The rich and hearty sauce, tender chunks of beef and a crisp crust made for a great lunch. We also shared a decent, by-the-numbers Greek salad to get some veg content. There's plenty of parking in behind the cafe, so don't let its location worry you, drivers. Great British Cafe is definitely worth a visit for the hot food or their selection of British pantry goods if you're in the area.

I want to give this three stars, but I'm giving four because it hits all of my top points well so…read morelet's start with that. Hours: excellent. Open daily. Open early-ish. Cost: super affordable for homemade food. Cleanliness: the food looks clean. No nasty black bits from a dirty grill in your eggs or anywhere else on your plate. While there's nothing really fancy here, it's a much better option than a frozen food chain drive thru. Food comes out quick, it's simple, lots of vegetarian options and really reasonably priced. The place is small so it fills up fast. No street parking. Use their driveway to access parking in the back. There is also a back entrance off the back deck. Door is clearly marked 'entrance'. The staff was friendly and while it's an old converted house, it does look like they try to keep it maintained. The only one complaint would be the washroom. It's obvious one of the staff use it to smoke in because it smells of cigarillos even with the door open and the fan running.

Simply the best iced cream shop I've ever been too and we have some doozies in Nova Scotia. Located…read morejust off Main Street, it's a small place with a limited variety of standard flavours and the ability to "make your own" by choosing from a long list of ingredients and then watching them knock it up. We were somewhat time constrained, so just went for the salted caramel, served in a home made cone and a generous scoop to boot. Quite superb! With more time it would be fun to come up with your own combination and see what happens. Nice little garden out front with a couple of picnic tables. A must visit on any summer trip to the delightful town of Wolfville.

Possibly the best ice cream I've ever had! I ordered the vanilla w/ blueberry & cheesecake. My…read morehusband had vanilla with cookie dough. They were both really really good. It's not like the ingredients are mixed into the ice cream... it's like they become part of the ice cream. The machines they use here are something I've never seen before... someone after me ordered a chocolate milkshake; they literally put two big frozen chocolate bars & a little cream in this machine, gave it a push and out popped a delicious milkshake. If you're lucky enough to be in Wolfville, you have to come to Scoops!

I spent quite a bit of time squishing everything in sight while chatting with the owner, who was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Prices are reasonable and it would be a great place to grab a chocolate and knit for a spell. Just don't get the chocolate on your project. ;-)

The cone was a little stale and the scoop was a standard scoop, albeit a bit on the smaller side. Not sure if there is a washroom available and didn't see store hours, but there is an ATM if you need cash. There's also ample parking in their lot. A good place to stop off of 104, especially since we were heading to Halifax from CB.

This spot has lots of parking, two walk-up serving windows, and ample outdoor picnic tables. A large digital screen displays the menu - you'll come for a scoop of hard Scotsburn ice cream, but be enticed by a plentiful list of additional options. including: ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, soft serve and a few savoury (hot dog, anyone?) items as well. The scoopers are very prescriptive and measured; great consistency. At $3 for a small (two scoops, both conservative in size) there are better value scoops elsewhere, but I appreciate the consistency and breadth of flavour choice that Corina offers. Always a reliable ice cream option!
