The only problem with this store are the prices, too damn high as my friend would say, but the ice cream is reasonably priced so we got the ice cream we wanted with an experience. If you are in the area this place should be on your stop and look list.

My sister and I stopped by after recommendations from one of her friends that their chocolate soft…read moreserve was delicious so we stopped over after a trip to Cowansville. There's a separate door on your right to enter and off to your left is the line for the ice cream. The menu is on the top and all of it is in French. Someone ahead of us was being served but we noticed that the two men behind the counter were both serving one customer. While we looked at the menu another man we had seen previously came in and walked ahead of us. He hadn't been in line so I asked politely if he had priority and he and the two boys said yes. When he was served the boys still hadn't made eye contact with us nor did they offer to serve us. We both asked for service and neither boy acknowledged but eventually asked what we wanted - in French. I asked if they spoke English and one boy said he did. I actually had to ask if we were invisible but no response was forthcoming. Finally we were served, but it took longer than it should have, with each of our orders being separate and mine being last. When I finally got my come, a family came in and both boys greeted them! The cones were delicious but those boys need a lesson in non-discrimination if they want to stay in service. I felt personally discriminated against and will tell others about this experience. I am originally from Montreal and used to be reasonably bilingual before I moved to the States. I have been to many eateries since I've been back to visit but no other place has made me feel that I wasn't wanted, until I came to this place. Shame on them both. C'est n'était pas une belle expérience chez Harfang des Neiges

This is a very cool little ice cream place located on the corner of the ktown-cville highway and…read morethe 139. They have soft ice cream, hard ice cream, sorbet and about 16 different flavours of dips to put on your ice cream. For hard ice cream you can get your dip flavour poured over your ice cream in an edible wafer bowl. They have a specialty soft ice cream with maple infused in the swirl as well as many different versions of Sunday's, potion magique and bubble tea. They have a couple of tables inside and a bunch more outside. The lady is super nice and is willing to explain everything about her products if you are a new customer. I hope this place lasts a long time here! Definitely worth a visit.

Quebec has many chocolatiers or chocolate shops as we say in English. Generally, the chocolate…read moreproducts in these stores are all very good. It's hard to make bad chocolate. This store was on the small side but it offered many different Belgian-style chocolate products, including bars, truffles, pralines, hot chocolate mixes, and just about every other type of chocolate you can imagine. They also have a bakery. There is a sample tray that lets you try their milk chocolate, 50% dark chocolate, and 70% dark chocolate. We liked the taste of their chocolate and ended up buying a bag full. I bought a 70% dark chocolate bar and a milk chocolate bar. The dark chocolate and lavender caramel bar my wife bought was especially delicious. The lavender came from the Blue Lavande lavender farm in Stanstead. This is a great place to stop and buy chocolate before you head to Mt Orford for outdoor activities. We will definitely be back.

WOW what an awesome breakfast spot, one of the best I've been to in a long time! In addition to an "all American breakfast" they also have beignets, poutine, amazing French toast, and so much more. The ambience is your typical breakfast resturant but there are SOOO many options. The paper menus are all in French but online they have an English menu. Highly recommend!

Elderberries are purported to be one of the highest antioxidant foods and as a life and wellness coach, I recommend it when someone needs an immune system boost to stave off the common cold, shorten the flu, and reduce sinusitis. That said, there are also other potential benefits of the juice of the fruit that have yet to be fully confirmed, yet are sufficiently awesome enough to give it a try. The store and seating area is gorgeous. With the breeze and sunshine, it made for a perfect day to look over the countryside and the crops below. Phil and Andrea, the owners, are passionate about what they do and it shows. Andrea makes every product they sell: pure elderberry juice, elderberry syrup (that is infused with honey, ginger and cinnamon); elderflower lemonade sweetened with the elderflower honey; red pepper jelly, rhubarb lime ginger compote, elderberry preserves, slightly spicy kale chips (no elderberry, but an awesome snack). They also extract the elderflower honey and her that as well for purchase. The juice itself is aptly described as part blueberry, part blackberry. It's slightly tart, but as you would use only 2 teaspoons a day for vitality purposes, it makes a great addition to boost the antioxidants of a smoothie, can be mixed in a tea, a lemonade, or even a club soda. The syrup would make a wonderful addition to a spritzer or as a delectable sauce for pancakes, waffles, or ic cream. You can taste the spiciness of the ginger and the cinnamon (both excellent for health-the former is an anti-inflammatory and the latter lowers blood pressure and stabilizes blood sugar). The lemonade is perfectly sweetened-just a hint, which allows the lemon favor to shine through. They serve it in tall tumblers sprinkled with fresh elderflowers and if you wish, a sprig of fresh mint (I recommend this). A really wonderful place to visit and to taste and buy the numerous homemade products made from their own gardens and crops.
