    Ice cream selection
    Kevin Lester F.

    Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream is one of my favourite ice cream shops here in Canada. I've always been fond of their selection, which I always buy at the supermarket. However, this location offers a wide variety of flavours, from classic to unique, as well as seasonal and new additions to their menu. They serve scoops of ice cream or turn it into a milkshake. The scoops are generous, and you might need to share them with someone unless you're a sweet tooth. The staff here are friendly and welcoming. We visited on the weekend, which was very busy, so be prepared to wait in line. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back to buy more ice cream!

    A picture is worth a thousand words. Check out this mammoth size waffle cone. Kawartha Dairy doesn't play around. They are the best ice cream around.

    Worth the drive, parking is a big issue and whats holding it back from 5 stars (see solution below). I happened to be in the area and decided to try out the new Nanaimo bar flavour. I ordered a small size and the other yelpers aren't wrong when its sized opposite of a small. There is a drivethrough section but is accessible only through Alexander Rd.

    Biggest portions ever & so many flavours! You can't go to Newmarket and not get Kawartha's ice cream, when you know their store is located there. Parking is a tight one, small area and lots of cars. They also have a drive through that's so convenient but lines are long and goes out of the lot onto the road with cars waiting to get in. Going into the shop there's lots of seating, lots of fridge space that holds milk, ice cream, cheese, butter and other dairy products. But the star of the show is definitely the line up to get scoops of ice cream! There's A LOT of flavours to choose from and they have sizes of baby, small and huge. I opted for the small chocolate chip cookie dough and cherry thunder and was blown away by the portion sizing. It was HUGE! It's big enough to share with 3 people in my opinion and it was so creamy and delicious, as all Kawartha ice cream is. It's quite reasonably priced and bang for your buck. If you're in the area this is a must try spot - who can say no to some large portion ice cream?

    This Kawartha Dairy has a great choice of ice cream flavours. The people behind the counter are courteous and helpful. This one is located inside a variety store, so not much of an ambience There's plenty of parking available.

    Hands down my favourite I've cream place!! There are sooo many flavours I never know which one to get (I love trying new one each time) but luckily they give out samples to try and the people working there are always ready to serve you. Also. Their baby scoop is MASSIVE. Buuuut they don't allow doing half and half for flavours. Kinda sad but it is what it is.

    Strawberry ice cream EXCELLENT. Pralines and Cream EXCELLENT. most these flavours are in stores though.. Nice interior; and a bathroom. Lady at counter was grumpy, but scoopin' cream all day (for years?) can have that outcome. Kawartha Dairy is a great little ONTARIO GEM.

    Great selection of dairy products Huge variety of ice cream flavors. My favorites are Muskoka Mocha, Pistachio almond, Mocha almond fudge. I always buy a milkshake when i go there. This place is about 80kM from my house and the drive is totally worth it. Their regular milk is also different ( good different) I would highly recommend it.. Friendly staff Free parking around the facility. Not sure why we cannot find these variations in regular grocery store and couldn't find Kawartha milk as well.

    Chocolate chip cookie dough was great. The vanilla base was rich & flavourful. The dough was pretty good (though there could be more) & the chips were well distributed. Ben & Jerry's is still better though

    Came here around 3 pm, just in time to beat the long line that followed after me. Their drive thru was closed at the time due to a lack of staff but there was adequate space to stand in line. Personally felt the wait wasn't too long, but I heard some people behind me getting impatient. I appreciate that service remains friendly through it all. My sister and I ordered the Key Lime Pie (resembled the dessert, not to sweet though we wish it was a little more tart, with the highlight being the graham cracker bits) and Creamy Orange (the perfect balance of creamy and fruity, not too sweet) as baby scoops for $3.99 each, but they were quite big! Their ice cream is truly delicious and worth the wait.

    I recently came across this ice cream shop and I'm so glad I did! The ice cream was great and i found it interesting that they offered so many different items inside the ice cream shop like varieties of products (milk,cream, chocolate milk, pre-packs, cheese/meat). They also have a drive thru window which is nice! All the workers were really kind and the I love how big the serving size was per scoop! I find other ice cream shops to be ungenerous about little things like extra cups/spoons/serving size but this place is not. The parking lot can get a little busy and there isn't many seats inside. However there are benches outside the shop. I would definitely come by again!

    Chocolate chip cookie dough

    Yum!!! Firstly, This place has a DRIVE-THRU!!! I've been here 4 times and every time I've tried a different flavour and this place doesn't miss! Every flavour I've tried is so satisfying! Fresh, rich, creamy ice cream! Definitely the freshest ice cream I've ever had! My favourite so far is the raspberry thunder! And the mint chocolate chip, and the death by chocolate, and Chocolate chip cookie dough, okay, maybe everything I've tried is my favourite! 5

    It's my first time trying this popular local icecream shop…read more I first tried to sample some flavor I tried the pandan and the Hong Kong milk tea. The pandan isn't as strong as I expected so I didn't order it. I ended up getting the black sesame soft serve and a scoop of milk tea, both in cups. Cone are 25c more. Order more than $10 can also get a stamp and you get macaron once u get to 10 stamps. I think both the black sesame and milk tea had intense flavor but they aren't creamy enough and too sweet to my liking. And perhaps too many people order the milk tea so there wasn't too much left by night time and so it also accumulated some icy pieces. Mine got some icy bits. I still may go back to try other flavors. They have few seats both inside and outside and there's a little train table for kids to play too. Nice little spot to hang out during the summer time.

Some days I crave something more decadent and strong, and other times I love something light and fruity. You can buy pints of their gelatos to take home as well. The owners are warm and welcoming. Staff are always helpful, making recommendations based off of what you like. Other than gelato, By Jacob offers lots of different desserts such as cakes, macarons, waffles and cheesecakes. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to try a new dessert spot - By Jacob is excellent.

    This place gave me Firehall Confectionery vibes because of the ice cream dipping stations…read more After eating at Levetto right next door in the plaza, some of my friends and I decided to hop over here and try some dessert. I opted not going for any of the "kooky" combinations advertised as they looked WAY too sweet for me. There's only 3 soft serve flavours here. Vanilla, chocolate or twist (vanilla + choco). But in terms of coatings/dips, they have a TON. I spent a good 15 min deciding which dip I wanted to go with. The owner (I presume) was the one who took my order when I walked up to the register. He highly recommended that I opt for a waffle cone if I was going for a classic dip (I was leaning towards just getting a cup). He was so adamant that he threw in the waffle cone for free! Super nice guy and great customer service! Got a medium size, chocolate soft-serve with extra dark chocolate shell/exterior. These scoops are very generous. I prolly could've done with a small tbh since I was SOOO FULL after dinner loool. But yea, I'm glad I went with dark chocolate on chocolate soft-serve because the whole dessert was not sweet at all which I really enjoyed. If I'm back in the area one day with my gf, I'll take her here and share a dessert with her!
