If a kiddie size is one scoop, those kids are in for a sugar rush and brain freeze haha. Talk about value! Serving up Hewitt's ice cream (my favourite commercial brand!) with classic flavours like mint chip and chocolate, as well as unique flavours like salty dawg and blueberry cheesecake. Ice cream is kept nice and cold, so it was a bit of a workout to eat it with a spoon (but on those humid hot days, I definitely appreciate extra cold, firm ice cream). My only constructive feedback is that I wish they had some outdoor seating/tables because the shop is quite small, and we ended up having to eat standing outside.

It's high quality product as well, the ice cream comes from Hewitt's Dairy Bar in Hagersville, near Caledonia. Only complaint is that the service can be a little bit slow but that's only because it's a small operation and a very popular spot with the locals.

Not…read moregoing to lie, given the nature of the puffs, I did worry that delivery wasn't the way to go but we took the leap anyways and these ended up being so good! They took about an hour to arrive and we got 4 flavours: choco-loco, strawberry, cinnapuffs, and caramel. From the first bite, we were all in love. So much so that my sister had to call the restaurant to find out what kind of oil they fried in (canola) because she felt my brother-in-law HAD to try these. His first bite ended with a "wow". These were sweet but not as sweet as you might expect and despite the delivery time of maybe an hour, still had a great crunch! Our order of deliciousness was choco loco, cinnapuffs, strawberry and than caramel (much to our surprise). We will definitely be trying others! We also got a milkshake and hot chocolate. Both good but the puffs are the obvious standout. Ambiance and service is hard to speak to since this was an Uber delivery but the lady on the phone was helpful enough and the branding of the product is clear and bright. Plus, everything came packaged nicely.

Oh em gee! You will not be sorry for pulling into this delightful place! The food (puffs - all I've…read moretried so far) is drool worthy. The service is quick and it has a nice ambiance. You can see them make the puffs fresh right in front of you! I got two of their most popular flavours (chocolate bueno and strawberry cheesecake). Will definitely be going back to try some other flavours. The puffs have a light and crunchy taste that just melt in your mouth .

There's also parking on site which is a plus! My go-to is usually the Unicorn Half & Half (half milkshake, half ice cream), which is topped with cotton candy, nerds, rainbow sour strips. The ice cream used is bubble gum! If you're not interested in their options listed, you can always creat your own! For the piece, you do get a large serving as well. Their paninis are also delicious! I love their Doritos Chicken Panini ($6.99). It is one of my favourites and is something I'd recommend trying.

AMBIANCE: (4/5) The restaurant has expanded since I've been there last. There is much more seating in the back and they added a picture wall that you can use to take IG-worthy photos with your dessert. The lighting is soft but bright which also makes it a great place to hang out The front of the store is getting a little haggard. FOOD: (3/5) The sizes of the icecream scoops here are crazy. I absolutely love how much they give you - matching the price point in terms of quantity. 1. Oreo Icecream Sundae: This sundae was gi-normous and looked soo good - with whip cream, chocolate drizzle, and oreo cookies lining the cup. However, it was a little unsatisfactory. The 'oreo' icecream they used had basically no oreo in the mix. The icecream itself was bland (???). 2. Pralines & Cream: I LOVE pralines & cream. The kiddy scoop I got was so worth it. The icecream was creamy and thick. Exactly like the ones at Purdy's (my absolute favorite) but at a better price. SERVICE: (3/5) The service wasn't SPECTACULAR but was not lacking. The counter stretches around to the convenience store as well, so they service both. The icecream came out 8'ish minutes after we ordered (only 2 people in front of us) - which may be an issue in the summer time as it gets busier. OVERALL: (3.5/5) This is a store you come back at least once a year just because their pics look so good on Instagram & if you don't want to trek uptown to Biggies Icecream.

The flavours change daily as they only make a small batch of flavours so if you're in the Hamilton area, it's a must-try spot. I went with the Coconut and Cookie on top and Blue Mist, a combination of fruit flavours. I enjoy that Coconut and Cookie as it has the pure Coconut taste and is even more fun with a chunky bite-size cookie from that scoop. I don't know how they did and that was incredible. The Bubble Gum, Butterscotch Ripple, and Berry Port (Boozy Ice Cream) are notable Flavours. Gotta come back to this place when they're Watermelon Lavender back in stock.

Tonight we tried their seasonal Key Lime Pie, the newest flavor Constellation and classic Caramel. The moment you enter, the only cashier greets you with a Welcome In. The teenagers (about 5 of them) are all eager to serve and fulfill your ice cream order. Ambiance was of the old TH cafe but of course KD had to put a bunch of freezers with glass doors to display their individual tubs of ice cream they sold. Air Conditioned interior and had only a few tables if you wanted to sit inside versus the small front exterior storefront. The tables were also not very clean which is a shame.

Staff are all very kind and helpful, you can sample some flavours before you choose. The price is a bit premium, but the portions are also pretty hefty. One downside is that the interior is kinda of old-looking already, despite being pretty new? It's possible they only did minimal renovations. The strangest thing was the lack of AC, it felt very warm for an ice cream shop. Hoping that they've added/turned on AC since I last visited--otherwise, be prepared to eat your ice cream quickly!

The flavor was spot on, tasted great and came with a complimentary waffle slice! There were two women working while I went in and they were very pleasant, helped us out and let us try as many flavors of gelato that we wanted. The shop itself is small and quaint, with lots of sweet options. What caught my eye were the salt water taffy in many odd flavors such as maple bacon. Unfortunately I didn't grab any, I am still regretting that but there is always next time because I will be back!

Great location and customer service…read more Scones: Decent. A little sweet (which I like), served with whipped cream and strawberry jam. Fruit: The fruit was the best part of all our meals here. It was so fresh and sweet, which I thought would be difficult to find outside of California! I also enjoyed it with cottage cheese, which is not so common at breakfast spots in California unfortunately. Tea: The tea is enjoyable but pretty average when compared to bougier tea spots like The Bruce in Stratford. It's not clear how long I should let it steep for for optimal flavor. I preferred the Winter Dream green tea, which was warm and cozy, slightly sweet. I also preferred the McCrae over the Boathouse blend. The Boathouse blend was a little basic for me, and the McCrae had a slight sweetness that I enjoyed. High Tea: Average - a good price and pleasant experience, especially if the weather is nice enough to eat outside (and catch a bald eagle flying by!). My favorite dessert was the carrot cake cupcake. Ice Cream: Yes, ice cream and tea is definitely a good idea! The banana cream pie tastes like your classic Runts banana flavor (the original banana that got wiped out) and the black cherry has plenty of big cherry pieces. Great servings, and we loved that they served them in reusable bowls instead of disposable ones. Would definitely come again!

It was very busy when we walked in. We got a table right by the door. There were artwork and paintings hung all around the cafe - it was cute. I ordered an afternoon tea set, as well as an extra breakfast burrito for my guest and I to share. There is a tea menu to look at all the various options they have. It was nice to see that they had many options to choose. Our set came with mini sandwiches, scones and dessert and fruits. I would definitely come back to visit - it would be nice to come in the summer and book a table out on their patio.
