I have to say that I was a bit disappointed when I first pulled up at Scoops. Living in Ottawa, I was split between deciding to going for a drive to Chelsea for ice cream or to Pakenham. The reason for my disappointment was that I thought they had home made ice cream and, as it turns out, they do not. Instead, the only thing they make home made is their waffle cones.
Since you can essentially get their type of ice cream anywhere, I personally wouldn't spend the 30 minute drive just to go for ice cream (conversely, I would recommend the 30 minute drive to Chelsea for ice cream). But, if I was driving through or lived nearby, then I would make the stop.
Parking is a bit limited with I think space four about 5 cars on the street in front. read more
