The place is fairly spacious, and they have a bunch of cool things to buy (the Kawartha cow was adorable). They also have a nice and clean bathroom, which can be unusual for ice cream shops. They had a couple of tables outside where we ate our ice cream. All in all, a great place to stop by for ice cream!

Located just outside Peterborough, Central Smith is worth a stop for ice cream. Founded in 1896,…read moreCentral Smith began the exclusive production of ice cream in 1952. The side of the building has the Dream Guide. Choose from classic scoops, sundaes, banana splits, milkshakes, frozen yogurt, bars, or tubes to take home. Choose from the flavours of the day (there were thirty the day we went), and then round the corner to order and the next window for pickup. Prices are very reasonable, and flavours are delicious. We all enjoyed our ice cream. Instagram: @central_smith

The total cost per ice cream is around $12. There was no seating area but plenty of space so I don't know if this is because the furniture has not arrived. It takes a couple minutes per order to make your ice cream so there will be a wait.

When this business was The Buttertart Factory, it was amazing. I'm not quite sure what's going on,…read morebut the standards have fallen drastically while the prices have climbed. It's very disappointing. For a while, I lived for their apple fritters. In May of 2024, I discovered that they no longer put apples in their apple fritters -- perhaps as a cost-saving measure. My family purchased half a dozen fritters, which turned out to be nothing but large slabs of dough with a cinnamon glaze. In June, all varieties of fritters (thankfully) appear to have been removed from the menu. The butter tarts, which once had a flaky pastry and an insanely good, buttery filling, have become worse than the generic tarts found in a No Frills supermarket. Clearly, costs are clearly being cut. Worst of all, the location (in Druro) has added an extremely pricey take-out stand. One of my friends paid a whopping 16 dollars for a chicken burger. No fries, no drink: just a piece of lettuce, a tomato, a gob of mayo and (an admittedly large) slice of fried chicken on a bun. I believe that the owners see this as an easy money grab, as they serve those commuting to Bancroft and back during cottage season. You'd think that for 16 dollars a pop for a chicken burger the owners would provide more than an outhouse to customers. You'd also hope that they'd make sure the outhouse was serviced often enough to prevent feces from piling to the rim. Nope. For obvious reasons, I will be ending my patronage of this establishment.

They have lots of fun toppings to put on top that make it way more fun and yummy! They don't have too many options of flavours at once but it is nice that they regularly change it. The pictures on the wall and online throw you off a bit because the bowls there are big and could cost about 50$ to fill them up. So don't go there just to get a photo like that and expect to have yours look like that. Overall nice employees and yummy frozen yogurt. The only main problems are the parking, photo taking and the plastic waist. Don't forget to bring your own spoon to use!
