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.

They also have candies and chocolate made by other local producers. You can also buy the ice cream in bulk if you like ranging in tub sizes up to a liter.

Sometimes we make the trip just for their icecream.

What a lovely treat. Staff were friendly. There were 4 different vegan options for gelato. I had…read morevegan chocolate and kiwi (two separate flavors).

My mom had the chocolate truffle (also non-vegan) which had chunks of truffle in it. She loved it. They have all sorts of coffees and pastries and sandwiches as well as some dry goods like pasta and other things. A great little place. Can't say that it is the best gelato I've ever had, but we'll worth the visit. Servings were quite generous too. My cup of gelato overfloweth.

In conjunction with Cheshire Cat Pub, you definitely need to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding flavour which has big chunks of the sponge cake pairing well with the butterscotch based ice cream! In addition, the coconut ice cream is always very refreshing with fresh coconut shavings adding a nice palate cleanser! I can't wait to go back soon!

The only reason I went with 4 stars and not 5, they really need more parking lot space. It's a gas station and there isn't a lot of room to park if you are only getting ice cream or food. They were very busy with customers not getting gas while I was there and parking was an issue. But overall, outstanding!
