Cowan's Dairy

My husband and I were in Brockville on a day that was 36 degrees Celsius (43 with the humidex. For…read moremy American friends, that's 97 Fahrenheit and 109 with the humidex). It was HOT! We needed some ice cream to cool us off. Who are we kidding, I'll eat ice cream anytime, but it was a great excuse for ice cream. So Cowan's Dairy is a convenience store plus an ice cream shop. We did not go into the convenience store, we just ordered ice cream from the ice cream window. They have both hard ice cream from Nestle and soft serve ice cream. I initially wanted a scoop of Cherry Cola and half a scoop of Apple Pie (you can get 1 scoop, 1 1/2 scoops or 2 scoops), but they ran out of Apple Pie, so I just got a scoop of the Cherry Cola. My husband, the strange man who he is, got a scoop of Heavenly Hash and a scoop of Mint Chocolate Chip in a waffle cone. Now this order in in itself does not make him strange, but in my opinion, if I'm going to an ice cream shop that serves Nestle ice cream, I'm gonna get me a flavour that I can't easily get at the grocery store. We have Heavenly Hash and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream in our own freezers at home all the time!! I guess he likes what he likes! And as his wife of many years, I should appreciate that and not call him strange, right? Well, I don't necessarily think strange is a pejorative word. My husband knows he's strange, and he owns and rocks it, lol, but I am digressing from this review. I thoroughly enjoyed my Cherry Cola ice cream. The flavour was subtle and it didn't have that effervescent quality that I was hoping for, but it was still very good. And very different from flavours that I can easily obtain at the grocery store. My husband enjoyed his ice cream too, lol. The one thing I did not like was that no prices were listed. So I actually don't know how much each item cost. We paid $9.16 taxes included for 1 single scoop in a regular cone and 1 double scoop in a waffle cone. The serving size was large. My cone was really big. I really liked that in addition to traditional flavours they had unusual/more exotic flavours. Service was friendly and efficient. Lots of free parking in their private parking lot. There are picnic tables nearby where you can sit and eat. They are right next door to George's Fish and Chips.

Ok but yelp listing misleading. Was expecting local dairy ice cream. Instead basic fudge and ice…read morecream shop serving several flavours of Chapmans commercial ice cream. Their one dairy free offering strawberry sorbet sold out during mid week visit.

The only reason I was able to discover this gem was because of my thoughtful wife who happened to bring home some delicious goodies. First off was the German chocolate cake. Topped with chocolate butter cream frosting, the first thing that came to mind was just how moist the cake was!! Second, the chocolate chip cookies!! Loads of chocolate chips with a soft and chewy centre surrounded by a crunchy edge. To me, it was as perfect as a chocolate chip cookie should be! If you happen to know anyone who lives nearby have them pick you up a few treats to enjoy! I've already asked for some more!! From what I know, it is presently a home based business with no store front.
