The location is fantastic--right across from the water, making it a great place to grab a bite and enjoy the views. What I liked most was that they offer much more than just ice cream. There were plenty of food options, including salads, pastries, and sandwiches. We initially came for the ice cream and ended up trying a few other things as well. The ice cream had some unique flavors, and I chose one with caramel, which I really enjoyed. The scoop size was very generous, and the staff member helping us was incredibly sweet and friendly. We also tried a pesto salad, which was fresh and tasty. I had a sparkling wine as well, though I can't really judge it fairly since I'm not much of a wine drinker. Overall, this is a great spot for food, desserts, and waterfront views. I'd especially recommend grabbing something to go and enjoying it by the water during sunset. Definitely a place I'd visit again.

The service was incredibly kind and attentive, and the coffee was great. That said, the food fell short for us. The Hangover Cure was essentially a large bowl of potato wedges...not quite what we expected from the name. The taco salad had a beautiful presentation, but didn't fully deliver on flavor. The chilaquiles were basically dry nachos with very little sauce, and didn't capture the richness or texture I usually associate with the dish. We also ordered the breakfast burger without bacon, and were surprised to find there wasn't any sort of patty or protein substitute...it was just eggs and veggies. It would've been helpful if that had been made clear when ordering. Overall, I really wanted to love this spot because the energy and staff were lovely, but the food didn't quite match the atmosphere. Still worth checking out for coffee, snacks, and the fun shop section!

We were pleasantly impressed by the wonderful view from the patio overlooking Porpoise Bay. The service was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered the fish and chips that we noticed other customers were enjoying as well as a glass of white wine. While waiting for our meal we enjoyed the lovely view of the mountains, bay and boats while sipping on our glass of wine. Everything was perfect! The meal arrived and it was beyond my expectations. I rarely order fish and chips and I would definitely order it again at the lighthouse pub. The fish was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. The portions were great for me and my big appetite. The price was reasonable for such a lovely meal and atmosphere. I look forward to going back to eat there again on my next visit.

The location is great and easily accessible, surrounded by plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants. It wasn't crowded when we visited, making it a nice stop during our walk around town. They offer quite a variety of flavors. We decided to try the jalapeño flavor and Ferrero Rocher. The Ferrero Rocher was decent, but not particularly memorable. The jalapeño flavor was definitely unique--it started off surprisingly good, but the spice kept building with every bite and became quite intense by the end. While the flavors we tried didn't completely wow us, I appreciate that they offer some creative and different options. Given how popular the place is and its convenient downtown location, it's definitely worth stopping by and trying a flavor that catches your eye. Overall, a good ice cream spot with plenty of choices, friendly service, and a great location.
