For many years, I have visited the Petro-Canada gas station attached to this A&W. This gas station tends to have slightly cheaper gas than others in the area.
I had never visited this A&W. I put an end to that streak after work on Wednesday.
A&W has root beer floats for a limited time. I love floats. I make them at home, but it's a treat to have one when I'm out and about.
There is currently a deal to get a root beer float for $2.99 through the A&W app. I took advantage of it by getting one.
The cool thing is that you can customize the pop in your float. I could have done a Diet Coke or Sprite float. I went with a diet root beer as my base. The vanilla ice cream remains the same.
I paid through the app. I had to create a new A&W account, as my old account used an e-mail address that no longer receives new messages. It was nice to have christened this new account.
I drove over to this store, which didn't take long from where I was. The catch is that the drive-thru is behind the convenience store. I ended up figuring out that the entrance to the car wash is also nearby.
Once I saw the entrance to A&W's drive-thru, I was good. I approached the order area. I got a woman's voice. I let her know that I had an order under my name. She saw that it was for a root beer float and said that I could approach the pickup window.
At the window, she confirmed that I wanted a diet root beer. Yep!
I got my root beer float. I thanked this woman and wished her a great day. She reciprocated. I dipped on my float as I continued driving home.
When you hit the drive-thru, you see the A&W patio. It faces Langstaff Road.
My root beer float was excellent. The ice cream was in the form of a hockey puck. It was brilliant in that it melted uniformly. It was creamy and worked so well with the cold diet root beer.
I want another one. I wish root beer floats were permanently on the menu.
I loved my experience here. I'll be back when I'm in the area.
