    My fiance and I stumbled upon this place purely by chance. We were craving ice cream after a…read morecamping trip and a quick Yelp search for ice cream led us here. At first, we weren't sure we were at the right place. We saw a few signs for ice cream, but no ice cream shop. We asked around and found out that the big old steam boat was the ice cream shop. To our delight, they served Kawartha Ice Cream in almost every flavour imaginable! I got Raspberry Thunder (white chocolate and raspberry ice cream with white chocolate chunks) and some caramel one with butterscotch ripples and chocolate caramel pieces. The fiance got moose tracks (vanilla ice cream with peanut butter and fudge swirl with chocolate peanut butter cups) and vanilla (I gave him crap for ordering vanilla of all flavours!). They didn't have bear claw, which is the flavour I wanted, but I was happy with my choices. Kawartha ice cream is always delicious and you can tell the ice cream here is very fresh because there's no ice chunks. The pricing on the ice cream here is outrageous...ly cheap. $3.50 for a "double scoop" of ice cream, tax in?! Unheard of! Especially in Toronto. The double scoop was really a quadruple scoop, if not more. I had a hard time finishing all my ice cream and had to share with my dog, who eagerly gobbled everything up. You can also sit on top of the boat and enjoy the view and breeze while also enjoying your ice cream. All in all, I'd totally come back to this place for ice cream if I'm ever in the area.

    Great place to grab an ice cream on the water! Love that they serve Kawartha Dairy ice cream…read more It's a neat old house boat-type boat, with the ice cream shop on the main level, and tables and chairs up above where you can enjoy your treat outside while enjoying the view. One thing that does make me nervous is that the upper level railings are not very enclosed and serve as almost a ladder for kids/toddlers. Adding some plexiglass to enclose it would make it feel safer, or changing the railings altogether. One of my new favourite stops on cottage weekends!

    Disappointed. Our two scoops the size of ping pong balls were lost in the bottom of the cup. At $5…read morefor a double, it was a real bummer. It was the day before Canada Day, so maybe the summer staff was getting used to serving but who hasn't gone to an ice cream place to indulge. It was skimpy and I wasn't the one eating it. Next time, I'll just head over to Foodland down the street and buy a tub of my favorite flavors instead. And then the fish and chips...ordered the whitefish since it was local. Ok, so it's more expensive than haddock which may have been better. The girl who took my order couldn't tell me how it tasted because she doesn't eat fish. I should have taken the cue ... it was fishy, thin with skin-on and lots of grey. That was the bigger disappointment. Fries weren't great either. Food took a while to be served. Including a foot long dog. Owner/cook, I assume, seemed very nice but sorry it didn't hit the mark. I understand that seasonal places have kinks to work out. But then training is a must. Otherwise the reviews turn out not so good. And I honestly will never go there again nor recommend anyone. Sorry. I read some of the Google reviews and they also show some issues that the owner tried to defend. Better service is always a recipe for more positive reviews.

    horrible food and service. don't waste your time or money. I was a patron til I found a magggot in…read morethe lettuce on the burger. absolutely disgusting and they denied it.
