Restaurant
2 Doors Down Food & Wine Halifax is an urban bar and eatery that offers a casual dining experience with a seasonal menu. Located right across the hall from 2 Door Down Bar + Bites, it's a popular spot known for its local craft beers on tap and delicious food.
Atmosphere was good and cheesecake also good. Beef rib and soup were just so so. Scallop was good but I don’t like starch balls below them. Based on the price, the special menu of Feb is pretty good!

I've been to the Dartmouth crossing location several times and always been very happy with the food and the service. Unfortunately, this location didn't love to to my expectations. The food was ok but nowhere near as good as what I had at Dartmouth.. The burrata salad was lacking flavor, wasn't fresh and the bread wasn't toasted or grilled. The AAA beef with fries was dry (amazingly since it was braised in sauce) and the fries were little left over bits rather than full fries. Even the onion rings weren't as good as the other location. Dessert was lackluster. In terms of service: the table wasn't ready when we arrived for our reservation and we waited 15 min. past our reservation time to be seated. The server took away one of the plates before we were finished it without asking. I chased after her but she was dumping our food in the garbage as I was calling after her to let her know we hadn't finished. She brought the mains before we had finished our appetizers (we're not slow eaters). They did discount the appetizer they prematurely threw out which is why they are getting 3 stars instead of 1. Parking is extremely difficult so expect to walk or take a cab/Uber.

We had a spectacular dinner at 2 Doors Down. A cozy atmosphere, excellent service and the food was amazing! My partner is celiac so was very happy they had a gluten free seafood chowder, and it was so good. Loved the biscuits with the butter and molasses as well. I had the scallop and asparagus risotto….definitely recommend!
Valerie J — Google review
Seafood heaven with flawless service, a must-visit in Halifax! Absolutely loved my visit to 2 Doors Down, Food + Wine. I tried the seafood chowder (creamy, loaded with tender fish and shellfish), the chicken and honey onion rings (light, crisp batter and sweet). Every bite was delicious with flavours that were both complex and comforting. Even my non-alcoholic Dirty Chai-tini was fresh, balanced, and spot-on. The Spinach and crab-crusted salmon was perfectly cooked, topped with a rich spinach and crab crust that added a savoury, slightly sweet depth to every bite. The eggplant parmesan was hearty and comforting, with tender layers of eggplant, rich tomato sauce, and golden, bubbling cheese. The desserts were a sweet finale beautifully presented, with just the right balance of indulgence and finesse, leaving me wishing I’d saved more room. Service was excellent. Our group of about 25 was handled with smiles, accuracy, and efficiency. The ambience is warm yet elegant; a place you can linger over great food and conversation. Highly recommend if you want a meal that’s cooked with care and full of flavour.

Small but mighty sit down restaurant. I treated it like a fast food joint and was not disappointed. Food came out quickly and tasted great. My waitress, Anastasia, is one of the nicest and most down to earth people, and was a pleasure to chat with.

Absolutely Fantastic – Even During the Dinner Rush! This was my second visit in a month, and once again, I left genuinely impressed. I came during a very busy time—the restaurant was packed—but despite the crowd, the kitchen delivered flawlessly. I had the shrimp and scallop tagliatelle, and it was absolutely delicious. The seafood was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and clearly very fresh. Every bite of pasta was rich and satisfying, without being too heavy. I also ordered the valley-grown salad, and it was just as impressive. Each component was placed with care, and the balance of textures and flavors really stood out. It felt thoughtful, not just thrown together. Service was smooth even under pressure, and the overall atmosphere was energetic but still comfortable. It’s rare to see a place perform so consistently under pressure—definitely one of the better dining experiences I’ve had lately. Highly recommend, and I’ll absolutely be back again soon.

Great food and service. Pork belly dish was one of the best I’ve ever had and the deep fried macaroni log was an interesting take on pasta. Reservations are recommended, although we did not have one, they were able to take us in between reservation timings. Great ambiance.

Our server, John, was fabulous, from greeting and seating, straight through to wishing us goodbye as we left. The food was Incredible! The Buttermilk biscuits with molasses butter was a beautiful appetizer. I had the Kale Caesar salad with chicken and I loved EVERY BITE. Both of these paired well with the Pop shop-inspired mixed drink I had. The dessert - maple creme brûlée - I could have married that. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the music wasn’t so loud that we couldn’t have a simple conversation. 100% recommend, and will return.

If you're looking for a delicious and nutritious sandwich, check out Old World Bakery And Deli. They have a wide variety of sandwiches that are perfect for lunch or dinner, including lamb and taziki sauce. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the food, making it easy to choose the right sandwich for you.
My wife is a vegan, so we searched for that and found this gem. The second we entered we were enthralled with the entire vibe. The decor, the materials of construction, the layout, the mild ‘60s music, and the overall peaceful feeling all combined to set the stage for what was about to come. We began by chatting with the owner. He is so gracious and kind - we learned about the vegan offerings as well as the non-vegan choices. I loved the Yarmouth Beef on white bread. She devoured her veggie sandwich on brown bread. The selection of contents for each sandwich was large, so much to choose from. They are very generous with the proportions. We had more than enough! For dessert I enjoyed a plum muffin. I hear ya’! When was the last time THAT was on the menu‽ It was scrumptious. I enjoyed it with a cup of handmade hot chocolate. A great combination. Would we dine here again? I exclaimed, “I’d move IN here!!!” If this was in our town we’d be regulars for sure. We’ll have to settle for this superb vacation memory. The Old World Bakery and Deli will forever be our new standard for what every bakery/deli/coffee/hot chocolate shop should be.

Delicious fresh made sandwiches on their own bakery buns (we chose sourdough) - generous amount of fresh roasted white chicken meat and lovely roast beef with your choice of deli cheeses, with any fresh toppings (green or red pepper slices, onions, lettuce, tomato etc) - was delicious! Amazing old building and old deli style feel in the space - would be fun if we could see the bakery activity (which I believe is upstairs). Thank you!

First off the Sandwiches were so delicious 😋 So nice to have fresh ingredients. I had the chicken sandwich on sourdough bread, no sauces and all the available veggies and smoked Gouda, and my husband had the roast beef on sourdough with his choice of toppings and cheese. Sooo good and filling. But, even though the sandwiches were delicious I was so amazed about how outstanding the customer service was from start to finish. The service was top notch. Atmosphere and ambiance cannot be beaten. Will definitely be returning again and again. Definitely worth 1hour to 2 hour drive .

Another great opportunity to support local businesses and farms in Yarmouth! Superb customer service with knowledge about the food and health benefits of the food they prepare! Today I had the lamb sandwich on multi-grain bread with fresh romaine lettuce, green and red peppers, feta cheese and topped with taziki sauce! Not to forget the Baklava that was so good that I forgot to take a photo! They currently have a limited menu but with still so many salads and other options that it is hard to choose! I guess I'll have to go back again and satisfy my curiosity!

We are from Pictou County,and our kids are in karate so travel for tournaments.This shop was introduced to use 4 years ago by another parent,so every time we go to Yarmouth this is our go to location for lunch,excellent sandwiches and other baked goods and look forward to it as soon as we know we are heading this way.

Easily one of the best places to eat in Yarmouth. The food is delicious, fresh, and REAL food. Bread is baked fresh in house, and the soups and stews are to die for. You are literally always granted service with a smile and the atmosphere inside the restaurant is phenomenal. I recommend this to anyone looking for a delicious and filling meal!

Fresh ingredients, good location, clear entrance and exit following Covid protocols. We ordered a sandwich and muffin to share. The price was pretty steep coming to $20 plus tax and tips for just two items. I wish the muffin was warmed up for a few seconds in the microwave prior to being served, because both the sandwich and muffin was cold, which we weren’t used to for a breakfast meal.

Ice cream shop
Candy store
Sugah Confectionery & Ice Cream Emporium is a popular waterfront candy shop known for its iconic Moon Mist ice cream, a delightful blend of banana, grape, and bubblegum flavors. The shop's confections and ice creams are handcrafted using century-old techniques and pure ingredients, including unique local elements like sea salt from Nova Scotia's Atlantic Coast and dried cranberries from Lunenburg County. Located on the Halifax Boardwalk and Public Gardens, Sugah!
The location is perfect—right on the waterfront, so you can enjoy a scoop while taking in the beautiful ocean views. The ice cream itself is tasty with a variety of flavors that hit the spot on a warm day. But what really sets this place apart is the charming little souvenir shop attached. They have a great selection of gifts, perfect for picking up something unique to remember your trip. Whether you're craving something sweet or hunting for a cool memento, this spot covers it all. Highly recommend!

COWS icecream is so good! It’s very creamy & their serving sizes are just enough to fill you up. They have many different flavours to choose from with descriptions of what is in each flavour on their website (they have a QR code you can scan on location) so you’re aware of any ingredients in case of allergies or personal preference. This location also has lots of merch you can purchase & also other milk related products to purchase. They also have multiple employees working especially at peak hours so sometimes the line will be out the door, but wait times shouldn’t be too long. I’d highly recommend trying it out

Tried it . Not worth the price . I cannot say that is bad but even a simple flavour like chocolate it s not intense and it s 7 $ dollars for one scoop. At Deedee I pay 7$ with a nice waffle and 2 big scoops that really taste good . I grow up in Italy so I know something about ice cream . And I can definitely tell that the price is not realistic. Other than that staff was nice .

Happened upon this charming place by complete accident while walking around town sightseeing. Staff was so lovely. Had the chocolate Cruffle. OMG. Was probably the most delicious thing I've had in a long time. Made a plan to come back the next day for lunch where they didn't disappoint. The Sweet&Spicy pulled chicken was fantastic. Just the right amount of spice for my white-gurl-palate to admire. In town till Sunday, I might have to make it a three-peat! So yummy!

Fairy T — Google review
Cafe Taiyaki 52 has perhaps the BEST taiyaki I've ever had in Canada. While it is a bit overpriced (I had a matcha custard taiyaki with a milk iced coffee (T52 coffee) for almost 10 dollars), it was worth it, and I want to come back before leaving Halifax. The house coffee, T52, was very tasty. The shopkeeper introduced it to me as the "special double double," but I'd say it's the usual Korean milk coffee. It was creamy, pleasantly sweet, but not too sweet like the actual double-double. The matcha custard taiyaki was the star of all of these - the outer layer was super crispy (it even had some pieces fall off as the "chips," which I could use to dip the whipped cream and chocolate sauce on the plate). The taiyaki cake itself was just perfect. It was crispy on the outside but super soft and creamy inside, and very fresh and hot. The custard was sweet, comforting and delicious, which was perfectly paired with the outer buttery skin. I don't think anything else could beat this combo as the perfect breakfast. The shop was super clean, well-organized and comfortable. The service was excellent. I love this cafe. 4.5 stars because it's a bit pricy.
Firmament — Google review
I visited this place with my sister Daria and genuinely I have mixed feelings about it. First, I want to state that it’s a nice place to sit at. Good music, pretty plants and decorations, very clean. Second, the food is kinda mid and overpriced. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it tasted very strange- it was sweet and salty at the same time, and the chicken itself had a weird taste and structure of it. The fishes (vanilla and mochi fillings) tasted okay but nothing special. The drinks were okay too, but as I said, not worth the price. Third, the customer service wasn’t good. I had to stand up and go back to the table because they didn’t give me any sugar or napkins. The girl at the counter wasn’t really friendly and it felt awkward to order / choose food. Overall, this place is okay in general, but for such price I’d consider going to better places such as Pane e Circo where the food and drinks are worth its price.

Service was not great. The one lady was serving a customer and the other girl behind the register told us to go back and wait for help. We went back and stood there for a few moments until that same girl came back over to serve us. Did not find her very approachable or polite. The store was cute , had a lot of options , all photo worthy doughnuts. Boyfriend got a chuckle out of the Homer Dougnuts and Homer balls. We ended up ordering a classic honey glazed doughnut and a Lemon Raspberry doughnut. Both fresh and delicious . The lemon raspberry was top notch especially with the freeze dried raspberry pieces ontop. Would recommend

The local place where we usually get our donuts from was closed for the long weekend, so we drove to Gottingen to get Vandals. Those donuts were WAY too sweet. One of my children (10 yrs) scooped out the filling, the other one (6 yrs) refused to eat it because it was “gross”. I enjoyed their coffee though, so I gave the review an extra star.

If you love donuts, definitely give them a try

Phenomenol cupcakes! I had ordered the salted caramel, oreo, and I believe a cinnamonish cupcake? They were so delicious!

This beautiful business is not just any business, this is an exceptional experience to be had by one and all! From the moment I walked in to this cozy shop I knew this would become a favorite happy place for me! The aroma of freshly baked cake combined with the warm, friendly atmosphere, brought me back to a similar feeling of my Mom's beautiful kitchen! I've ordered various cupcakes on different occasions for friends and family, and recently ordered The Chocolate Chocolate Cake for my boyfriend's birthday celebration! These cupcakes are by far, THE MOST DELECTABLE cupcakes we have ever tasted...and The Chocolate Chocolate Cake was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I can't express enough just how scrumptious their recipes really are! This batter recipe Layers uses is not too sweet, but just perfectly sweet enough when combined with the smoothest, dreamiest icing that I have ever tasted! The people in this company are not only cheerful, friendly and kind, but they are true professionals who know their stuff! These people really know how to welcome you and make you want to return again and again for their special product and genuine kindness! I have always had wonderful service and the best treats to share, thanks to all of you at Layers Cupcakes!

We decided last minute to get a wedding cake and cupcakes for our wedding. Layers was super helpful with deciding what to order and fulfilling our order perfectly we only a few weeks notice. We ended up ordering a small wedding cake and mini cupcakes for our guests which worked out perfect. I would definitely recommend doing mini cupcakes instead of the full size cupcakes as they are much more approachable especially after a large dinner. Layers doesn’t do custom wedding cakes but that wasn’t important to us so it worked out well.

Nice small cafe. The staff was really nice and welcoming. The cake was amazing! I ordered the Triple Chocolate Cake and London Fog Latte and both were great! The other cakes they have looks good too. I love the interior decoration of this cafe, cute and honey.

We ordered a cake from here last minute for our elopement, and it was made for us within a few hours, with beautiful personalised details. The cake tasted delicious and lasted well despite travelling all the way up to Cape Breton! We also found the bakery to be very reasonably priced, and would highly recommend.

The prettiest cakes and very talented decorating. The cakes seem very light which I enjoy. Not a place to get something rich tasting. But the way they do their cakes is so gorgeous who cares what it tastes like?! I always go to this place for the most epically decored custom cakes.

Came in based on the high rating. Ordered the red velvet cheese cake. The cake was dry and stale including the cheese cake part itself. It had no flavour. For over $8 + tax, it was not worth it. There was no service to even comment on.

On July 1st, I urgently needed a birthday cake for a friend around 4–4:30 PM. After calling several bakeries with no luck—most didn’t have any ready-made cakes left at the end of the day—I reached out to Piece of Cake. To my surprise, someone kindly offered to try and make a cake within 30 minutes and asked for a bit of time to confirm with their delivery person. They followed up shortly after to confirm that delivery would be possible. The entire experience—from the prompt and clear text communication to the on-time delivery—was absolutely seamless. The cake itself was delicious and beautifully made. It truly saved the day, especially since I live in Calgary and couldn’t be there in person. I really appreciate their incredible customer service and willingness to go above and beyond. Highly recommend!

The best cheesecake I ever had.The cheesecake at Piece of Cake is simply divine! It's creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor. The crust adds the perfect touch of crunch, and each bite is pure bliss. Definitely a must-try for all cheesecake lovers out there! The staff was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just craving something sweet, I highly recommend stopping by piece of cake.You won't be disappointed!

First time visiting the Dessert Yard. Oh my gosh, it will not be our last! SO GOOD! The pizza was delicious, the salad was awesome and the fries were some of the best fries we've ever eaten at any restaurant! And Haylee was so lovely! She was sweet, and very attentive, always asking if there was anything we needed. Thank you Dessert Yard for an amazing date night! ( and we've had 25 years of date night, and this was among the best!) ❤️ Rowena and Chris

The place also looks nice and well-decorated, which makes the experience even better. Me and my friends been here many times, and most of the time we’re lucky to have Dhairya as our server. He’s friendly, polite, and always gives great service. Big shoutout to him for making our visits extra enjoyable!

The venue is very posh and pretty. It isn’t just a desert place but has a full menu of savoury dishes. Service from Abdul was great. Overall delivery of food was very slow and when it came - burgers were good but they couldn’t get the steak to be medium rare. It was well done even after a 2nd attempt. Desert was good.

Visited the Dessert Yard Cafe for the first time. Had a wonderful time with the family. The ambience, the service and the food was amazing. The ambience gives a fresh and bright look to the restaurant and it straightaway create a refreshing environment. A perfect place for spl moments. The service provided by Heidi and Sid was amazing, their hospitality skills are awesome and they serve every guest with utmost care and respect. Last, but not the least, the Food was just Amazing. Started our evening with the "Blueberry Blast", which created a flavorful passage for the other dishes. Later, we ordered the appetizers - Fish and Chips along with the crispy chicken, it came out with a couple amazing of dips. We also ordered the Sirlion Steak with mashed potatoes along with Tuna Steak with beans and salad, both were mouth watering and tender. Lastly, we ordered Belgian Milk Chocolate Sizzling Brownie with Vanilla ice-cream. The kids dived into their favorite Chocolate Waffle. All in all, we loved the treatment given to us today. Will definitely visit and highly recommend this restaurant!!!!

The waffle was great. Crepes& waffles are about $17 each. But, in general there are mainly chocolate / Nutella kinds available. They kindly customize it for you if you don’t like the sauce. The waiter was very patient and kind. The interior is dim and would prefer more lighting. The coffee tasted pretty bad…coffee should not be forgotten although their focus is on desserts. You could order hot meals as well but a little pricey.

Ice cream shop
The Fog Company is a trendy ice cream shop known for its unique and Instagram-worthy creations. The 'Seas the Day' and Lighthouse Lemon are popular choices, featuring creative flavors and eye-catching presentations. While the candyfloss may make the dessert messy, it adds to the aesthetic appeal. The staff is friendly, and there's outside seating available. In addition to ice cream, they offer delicious cookies and donuts.
Tried this cozy ice cream spot, and it was a real treat. The ice cream had a smooth, creamy texture that felt like it was made from scratch, and the sweetness level was just right—not overwhelming, just enough to bring out the rich flavor. Every bite was indulgent yet balanced. A must-visit for anyone who loves a well-made scoop!

My wife, daughter and I went for some ice cream on very hot day this past Sunday. I had pecan butter tart with cloud, my wife had chocolate fudge with cloud, and my daughter had cotton candy with cloud. We all enjoyed the experience and the novelty of the cloud. My wife and I really liked our choice of flavour. My daughter not really being used to having alot of sugar all at once she didn't feel well afterwards. Cotton Candy being super sweet who knew lol. Overall it was really tasty ice cream with a good experience and reasonable pricing.

Ice-cream with a cloud, sounded exciting and we tried. Lighthouse Lemon and Gold Rise was our choice. It was delicious but a bit messy as the candyfloss around didn't help. It looked pretty, perfect for Instagram shots and the children would enjoy it much more than an adult. So go for the plain ones if you don't want sticky messy hands and clothes. Staff are friendly and helpful. Outside seating is available. Apart from Ice-cream, they had Cookies and Donuts which looked delicious.

I've been dying to try this place and finally got the chance to last week. I LOVE the look of the shop and the branding and graphics. Fantastic for photos. There was a line but it took us less than 10 minutes to place our order. I got the "Seas the Day" ice-cream creation and my friend got the chocolate soft serve with sprinkles. We waited about 20 minutes after placing our order to get it. But when I got my ice cream I was SO impressed with the look and care that went into making it. It was beautiful. My friend's cone looked really nice too. However, they started melting INSTANTLY very quickly as soon as we got outside. It was literally dripping down our hands and onto our clothes and shoes. They hadn't given us any napkins either. I also saw others around me seeming to struggle too. My friend gave up on his and threw his out. I finished mine but it was so stressful doing so. Luckily a lady there had baby wipes to give us so we could wipe off. I am wondering if they are not keeping their soft serve cold enough. I'm giving this place 4 stars because for me it was worth it to get something so beautiful and instaworthy.

Antoinette's Cheesecakes Dartmouth is a delightful mother-son venture that specializes in New York-style cheesecakes, offering an array of flavors like mini egg, banana chocolate chip, and moon mist. This charming shop is set to open a new dessert bar and retail space on Baker Drive, conveniently located alongside Access Nova Scotia. Currently operating within The Dill Pickle plaza, Antoinette's has garnered attention for its delectable offerings.
We ordered a Creme Brulé cheesecake (6 servings) and my goodness is it delicious. It was the perfect mix of airy yet dense. It is feels heavy but is really so soft and smooth. The taste is perfect, it is the perfect balance of sweet and rich that it is not too overwhelming to enjoy a good slice to yourself. The staff is so nice and seemed happy, helpful and genuinely appreciative of our purchase. Also the atmosphere of the shop is very sweet, café style with lost of individual slices and goodies to taste. 5's across the board for me 😊 we will be returning 100%

We were the first ones there and the last one served 🫣 The young man was there by himself with no help. Other customers were served before our order was finished. The cheesecake was left on the counter for over 20 minutes. Well he made the coffee and served other people without saying a word to us. Our coffee was brought over to us once it was done but then had to get up to get a spoon and cream and sugar!!! This is the second time I was here and will not be going back again. Also watch your step coming in the door!!!! Cheesecake is amazing but at that price with everything else taking into consideration there are definitely other places to go

The Cheesecakes are amazing, So fresh and delicious. The service is not that good, She was lazy as well she didn’t ask if we wanted anything else or needed something she did not have the energy to be at work and looked like she wanted to go home, Not to mention she disappeared and we needed the parchment/wax paper so the cheesecakes wouldn’t stick to the cardboard box. The place is inside is not too crazy decorated but its decent with some nice classic music in the background, Definitely recommend coming for the cheesecakes.

I recently visited Antoinette's Cheesecake, and while it had its moments, there's room for improvement. The flavors, unfortunately, didn't quite hit the mark - except for the plain cheesecake, which was creamy and rich. The Moonmist flavor, however, was a letdown; it tasted vaguely medicinal, which wasn't pleasant. Overall, the flavor options could use some refinement. On the upside, the atmosphere at Antoinette's is lovely, with a cozy, inviting vibe. However, I think they could benefit from more seating options and a bit more ambiance to make the space feel more welcoming. One suggestion I'd make is to expand their beverage menu, particularly coffee and specialty drinks. This would encourage customers to linger and enjoy their cheesecakes in-house, rather than grabbing them to go. With a bit of tweaking, Antoinette's Cheesecake could become a top-notch destination for dessert lovers.

The first time I had a slice of cheesecake here, it was absolutely heavenly. Unfortunately, on more recent visits it feels like something has changed. The portions seem smaller, and while the cheesecake is still good, it doesn’t feel as special for the price anymore. Whether it’s the ingredients, the sizing, or the pricing, the overall experience just isn’t the same. I find myself going here a lot less now, which is a shame given how much I used to enjoy it.

Nestled in the heart of Halifax, The Dairy Bar is a beloved gem that locals can't get enough of. This charming spot is celebrated for its delightful soft-serve ice cream, featuring an ever-changing array of unique flavors like black sesame and blueberry basil. It's the perfect place to indulge in a rich sundae while soaking up the serene beauty of the nearby Halifax Public Gardens. With weekly flavor rotations and an impressive selection of toppings, every visit promises something new and exciting.
Be prepared for line ups, however it moves quickly. Mama brew and kiddo are excellent choices and really aesthetically pleasing. Oreo milkshake is nice too. Grab some ice cream from here and take a walk through public gardens

Another new place for me, and they had a dairy free option with their “New Vegan Sundae: Love Me Do” (vegan vanilla scoops, white chocolate pistachio cookie crumble, and strawberry sauce) if you need. I was excited to try this out, I went with two friends who had gotten the Small Sundae: Neapolitan ($9) and a Large Sundae: Caramel Crunch ($10), all pretty well executed! It could have been a filled a little more. For $2 more than a small I had less “vanilla scoops” in my cup and more whole pistachios, rather than pieces, sitting at the bottom in my sundae. I cannot complain about whole pistachios, but there’s a time and place. Delicious, absolutely, but maybe not quite worth the price that day. Important note: the wait was 10-15 minutes in line on a hot Saturday afternoon.

There was quite a long line before we could place our order — usually a good sign! Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, so we didn’t mind the wait. I went for a small blueberry soft-serve cone, and my son had the salted caramelized crunch sundae. Both treats were enjoyable, though not especially memorable compared to what you'd find at most other dairy spots.

Betrayal of trust! I was scammed out of half my ice cream, how do you charge 7$ for a cup of ice cream with a hole through the centre, as well as 3$ for a little drizzle of apple sauce. Good soft serve but treating customers like this is an act of betrayal! When I approached the employees they claimed that it was just “how they make it”. This has never happened in previous visits and shouldn’t be the new standard!

Been here 3 times, love this place. This time we had deep fried peanut butter toast, golden sago, and egg waffles. I have also had the popcorn chicken and rice bowls in the past. The sago is always refreshing and a large portion. The toasts were simple in flavours but rich and crunchy. The egg waffles was delicious. Ordering is quick and efficient with QR code ordering option, but I wish you didn't have to input so much personal info.

This place has such amazing desserts! It has a super cute atmosphere and all of the treats look so good, I had a hard time choosing. I ended up getting the mango crepe sundae and it did not disappoint! The mango sauce on top was the perfect sweetness paired with the light cream and juicy mango inside the crepe. The crepe itself had a delightful texture, it was thin but had almost a mochi like chew, delish! Definitely worth the trip out, and I will be back!

It's really nice inside and the person working was very helpful. I like that you can see that they're baked freshly as well. We came on a Friday evening and took a small cake to go. We got the original. The cake was nice but not enough rum at all. It was almost brushed with rum? I am used to eating a lot of foods with rum in it so I was very excited but this cake was very good for a cake, not really a rum cake.
Sahana C — Google review
If you like rum cake, run on over to Rum Runners and get a slice (or a whole cake). We were strolling along the waterfront and decided to pop in to get slices of the original rum cake and chocolate rum cake. The original was easily better - strong rum flavour, really moist cake. We liked it so much we got a small one to go. The chocolate, on the other hand, was pretty good, but could hardly taste the rum. Cakes are baked daily, but if you don't get there before the cruiseship hordes do, you may have to wait as they bake a new batch. (We missed out on the whiskey cake because of that - maybe next time!)

I had a late dinner, and didn't get to the shop until less than 15 minutes before closing, right behind a group of five others. But the staff was still quite cheerful and friendly, and the ice cream was delicious! Their freshly made waffle cones deserve special recognition, because they don't leak out of the bottom like so many others. A wonderful shop!

We stopped by Sweet Treasures Confectionery and got four 2-scoop ice creams with different flavours. While the shop has a fun, nostalgic vibe, the ice cream was a bit of a mixed experience. The orange pineapple and mango flavours tasted very artificial—definitely wouldn’t recommend those. The other flavours were okay, but nothing particularly special. It’s a decent stop if you’re craving something cold, but we’d suggest sampling before you commit to a full cone.

JoAnn makes amazing chocolates. I spoke to her for a bit and you can tell she really takes pride in her work as she crafts each chocolate by hand. I bought an assortment for $25 CAN to take home and share.

A lovely eclectic store selling amazing homemade chocolates, an array of used and new books, cards, and snacks, coffee and tea. And it's location on historic Lower St. George St. in Annapolis Royal is gorgeous.

The chocolates here are very good!! Especially their truffles! I believe they are all homemade. I highly recommend trying it, and I now know I will be buying from them every time I am driving through Annapolis Royal. The bookstore was small, but nice and organized, with a good classics section and antique books in the back room. There was a fair amount of antique books for kids and young adults. When I visited, the store closed at 3 on Saturday. Also note that the street it sits on is a one-way.

A great little place to pop in and have a hot drink. The shop offers a collection of new, used and vintage books. In the back area you will find some antiques and collectibles. The best part of the shop is the chocolate. Hand dipped by JoAnn, the chocolates are always amazing! The shop is beside the playground making it a great stop for those with young ones.

The coffee is amazing. The salted caramel chocolate is almost as divine as the ginger covered chocolate. The company is second to none. Great spot to meet friends and enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere.

Adorable shop which carries more than absolutely delicious ice-cream. My husband and I stumbled upon Get The Scoop and I am so glad that we did. Great quick friendly service. Yes its true, they don't have many ice-cream flavours, but the 2 that I tried (coffee & wild blueberry) were honestly incredible. I'm sure that anyone who orders any ice-cream flavour available will be more than happy. Hope to return to try more ice-cream.

At first I thought this was going to be just one of those run-of-the-mill charming boutique ice cream shops. Then I saw 3 words that changed my life forever: "lobster ice cream". I can't even describe how good it was. The owner will always have a special place in my heart for bringing this into my life. Thank you.

Get the Scoop is an incredible ice cream shop that offers delicious flavours of home-made ice cream. The ice cream is fresh, and with a high milkfat percent (my guess is around 16%), its creamy and gooey goodness with leave you with the best ice cream you'll eat all summer!
Matt — Google review
I've now had the opportunity to sample 4 flavours and I'm amazed. Hands down some of the best ice cream I've had. The ice cream is not commercially prepared frozen garbage. It's homemade, creamy and smooth. The flavours change almost daily so it's worth coming back regularly. They also have homemade waffle cones which are excellent as well as fudge. Cute decor and serve pet friendly pup scoops of vanilla ice cream on a bone.

I would love to add more stars. Lisa’s delicious ice cream is fresh made daily, and you can tell she uses lots of cream in her creations. Interesting flavour combos that taste amazing, but even the “usual” flavours are awesome. Also let’s talk sorbet, with all that fruit in it it just tastes like frozen fresh fruit. Lisa uses fresh local ingredients. Gotta love that! We ride motorcycles and this is our go-to ride from Halifax. We no longer even make up excuses to ride that way, we know it’s for the ice cream. We have tasted most ice cream places in NS and this is by FAR our favourite for the past 2 years. If you are in Mahone Bay DO NOT MISS the experience of tasting the best fresh-made ice cream you will likely ever have.

The shop owner convinced me to try the boring strawberry flavour. It was amazing! We chatted with her for quite some time; it was very evident that she has a passion for making amazing ice cream! Great stop on our little day trip to Mahone Bay and Lunenburg.

Yummy!!! Homemade ice cream varieties I've never heard of but very tasty. I thought it was a bit on the expensive side but the scoops were double the size of a normal one. She has pre-filled family size containers in a freezer to take home and enjoy later. Plus, she also devided a scoop for each of us to be able to taste 2 different kinds.

Anchors Away Family Restaurant Ltd. is a delightful stop for travelers seeking comfort food and a warm atmosphere. Locals rave about their Old Fashioned Lobster Roll, featuring pan-fried lobster mixed with mayo and lettuce in a soft hot dog bun, though opinions may vary on this classic preparation. Families can enjoy hearty dishes like the chili special, packed with beef and flavor, or indulge in takeout options such as the Anchor bacon swiss burgers and lobster poutines that are sure to satisfy any craving.
Grabbed some takeout from this restaurant while staying half hour away. Two Anchor bacon swiss burgers and two lobster poutines. Both were incredibly delicious. Would definitely stop there again on our next trip out to the South shore. Forgot to snap a picture before digging in.

Lol, read my review then read the response, guess they have a good sense of humour, or they basically can't be bothered reading reviews, that explains a lot......Expensive and very very arrogant rude cook. Hot lobster roll $31!...didn't order They skimp on everything. Burger had no lettuce or garnish at all, even asked for dill pickle and they never bothered with that, garden salad $10... lettuce with a scraping of carrot and a few bits of onion (see pic), most expensive lettuce I've ever bought. Place was empty and it took half an hour to get these two dishes. Really cold inside as always. ......update, they gave us the meal for free after the cook came out to lecture me that what I ordered was what was on the menu and that we hadn't waited for half an hour, basically accusing me of lying which she denied then went to lecture again that a salad is a salad what did I expect. She walked away from the table and I said to my friend "I can't believe how rude she is" she marched right back to the table and said "what did you say? Don't you dare speak to me like that" I pointed out it was a private conversation, I wasn't speaking to her, and she said "well have your conversation outside" I'm shocked of the rudeness, was she seriously suggesting that we dine in silence and go outside if we want to speak to each other? When we went to leave, cook came out again gloating, waving her order ticket at me, lecturing me again "look, look, you only waited 20 mins" ffs omg are you serious, you're proud it took 20 mins to cook a burger ha ha ha ha, not a way to treat customers, no wonder you're empty with such rude kitchen staff. Good luck for you in future anchors away lol 😂 you'll definitely need it. I'd say thanks for the free food but you've ruined my evening....especially with the lecturing from the cook ffs

If I could go above a rating of 5, I would. I had an apple cranberry tart that was incredible! They filled a puff pastry shell with a cranberry compote and laid thin sliced apple on top of the compote. They covered it with what tasted like a butter sugar glaze. It truly was incredible and worth the drive to Kingston. They also had a good selection of tarts, deserts and breads.

I don't live in Kingston, but whenever we drive by, we stop here and hope it's open. It's hidden in the back of a parking lot, like a local secret. It's not fancy. It may even be what used to be a garage. However, it is charming. You walk in. There is a baker. Everything is on display. There is nothing hidden. No back room. You can see the Baker, his ingredients, the oven, the racks. What he has baked is what is offered. The artist and his craft in full display. That is the beauty of it. What you can buy, I assume, is determined by what ingredients are available and what the Baker is inspired to create. Everything, I have ever bought was perfection. Last time, I bought a peach tart, it was glorious. Today no peach tart, a lemon tart. It was also delightful. For a moment the citrus made me forget the cold outside. Always present is some sort of crusty French bread. My son is partial to the rolls formed in the shape of a crown. With 5 of us in my family, it rarely survives the drive home. Everyone takes atleast one roll off the crown. My daughters' favorites? The buttery, flakey Chocolate croissants. Bring cash, that's all he takes. It will be worth every penny!

🔺first pic- 1. salted caramel base with cinnamon roll mix-in (left) 2. chocolate base with chocolate coffee beans (right) 🔺second pic- 1. vanilla base with cinnamon roll mix-in and smarties (left)- really nice balance, not too overpowering, and the smarties added a great crunch. 2. vanilla base with chocolate covered almonds (middle)- smooth and balanced, not too sweet. 3. strawberry base with cheesecake mix-in (right)- definitely on the sweeter side, but if you like that combo and don’t mind the extra sweetness, it’s a good pick. both of these flavors were creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. overall, loved the variety and how customizable it is- definitely a great spot for ice cream in wolfville🩷

I’m a lover of all ice cream. Big and small, short and tall, hard to soft, I love ‘em all. I knew when I walked into this shop I was walking into something magical. The shop was very unique with their approach to soft serve. They have 4 base flavours that you can choose from. Then you mix in the ingredients you want. I went with the most popular. The vanilla and cookie dough but I opted to add skor pieces. At first I thought this was really good but little did I know the cookie dough was inside the cone. And let me tell you, the cookie dough was plentiful! I’m not lying when I say this is the best soft serve ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. Good thing I don’t live close by or else I’d start looking like soft serve
Ryan L — Google review
The best icecream, made in house. The reeces peanut butter cookie dough was mixed in instead of typical little chunks of cookie dough, which made the icecream so much better. One of the best ice creams I’ve ever had. The waffle cone was thin enough that it didn’t feel like a lot to eat, not leaving you bloated or overfilled.

Exceptional ice cream shop located in Wolfville, Nova Scotia! A must go location for people of all ages. When they say the possibilities are endless, they truly mean it! All of their ice cream and waffle cones are made on site, and the smell of freshly baked waffle cones will leave you feeling comforted and happy. They serve milk shakes, ice cream in a cone or waffle bowl, and offer a variety of combinations with the option to add additional toppings. The additional toppings list is too long to share but includes everything from brownies to skor and gummies. The interior design boasts several swings that bring out the child in even the grumpiest of adults. Picnic tables and comfortable anorondek chairs on a covered porch make this place a great location for relaxing and spending time with family and friends. For Expresso lovers, they serve Java Blend Coffee Roaster, and if floats or chocolate are what you crave, they have lots! Will definitely be back!

Chaos behind the counter was pretty obvious. No one leading the team at all. No supervisor and/or manager on-site. Pathetic customer service. Took one of our items back in as we had requested extra topping which we couldn't see any. Only to be told, with attitude that indeed it had been added and that it all was at the bottom. Needless to say there was nothing at the bottom. I was sent out with the same item I walked in with. Absolutely horrible customer service. Pathetic. Will not be returning.

The friendly staff reflects the management's investment in their employees' well-being, fostering a positive work environment.
This place is so terrible, I had lost my purse there and I was asking if the staff had found it, when, I was asking they seemed very impatient and rude, they would not look out back for my purse and refused to check any sort of camera. Also a good part of the time when I go there they get my order wrong, example: not giving me a cheeseburger, giving me wrong flavour of icecream, giving me onion rings instead of fries, the list goes on and on. The tables are also always dirty. My point being this is not the best restaurant if you looking for a place with good customer service and not getting you order wrong, I would not go to Dairy Queen.

Feedback on Unsatisfactory Service I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the service my child and I received at Daily Queen Grill and Chill During our order, a staff member treated us disrespectfully by carelessly throwing a paper cup onto the counter for my son to get water while he was ordering hamburgers. This behavior was not only unprofessional but also disrespectful, especially considering that my child was present. Such an attitude created an uncomfortable experience for both of us, which is not what I expect when visiting a service establishment. I sincerely hope that measures will be taken to improve staff conduct, ensuring that all customers, particularly children, receive the respectful and attentive service they deserve. I believe that respect and care for customers are essential components of any service industry.

I typically avoid all Dairy Queen's because they microwave their burgers after asseming them and their fries are mediocre on the best of days. It's a good thing too because today was no exception, the saving grace was the pathetic amount of fries I did receive. I should have known better but it was the first thing I saw and we were in such a hurry I didn't really care. Avoid at all costs.

I hesitated writing a review for years, tried to give them a chance however nothing has changed, constant mistakes that management doesn't seem to care about, the customer satisfaction is out the window with the management staff , the other staff are lovely I ordered a cake years ago , when I went to pick it up it was spelt wrong, after bringing it to the managers attention she continued to argue with me saying it's spelt correctly... even if it was ( it wasn't) isnt it whatever the customer wants ... she did eventually change it for me but not before a 10 minute argument Just recently I tried to order a cake for my husband's birthday, again manager said she couldn't do what i was asking, she told me no DQ can I called greenwood and guess who filled my cake order, exactly how I wanted it... greenwood... I ordered a large cake online almost 2 weeks in advance, I showed up on pick up day- cake wasn't done, said they never got the order, I watched her scroll through her iPad and sure enough ... there was the email with the order unopened I might add. Come on guys ... do better.

Our food was ready on the counter before I could pour my fountain drink. Quite possibly the fastest fast food I have ever witnessed! The lady on the counter was indeed awesome and so pleasent. Sorry,I don't know her name but obviously not her first day. Good food, well done. This was our second visit in as many weeks and we will continue to return.

Today was the most horrible experience of my life. These bathrooms are very dirty. I have previously complained to Lee the supervisor but nothing has been done. Today there was a simple mix-up in what was ordered. No problem, they fixed it and all was good. It did take a long time for my sandwich and I asked about this. I walked away. As I am eating, an employee of this site (blonde and belligerent, she did not offer her name) came to my table to give me grief about how I spoke to her coworker. She did not give me a chance to speak and spoke loudly and very aggressively to me. She continued to be loud and argumentative. It was horrible. This person should not ever be in a position of authority. She needs to be trained on all things for customer service.

Worst service in digby. I went though the drive through here with only 3 cars ahead of me and waited 20 minutes before i could even order. This process however was also very lenghty due to an apparent lack of communication skills with the employee taking orders( par for the course) i finally made a simple order of a 2 for 8 double cheesburger with fries and a drink and waited another 15 minutes for that, only to get a sloppily thrown together mess of a meal. Never again.

Order was completely wrong. Once corrected my burger was ice cold and my onion rings were over cooked. I ordered for dine in and received a bag to go. No kidding. Only thing right was my pop, because I poured it.

As a person with coeliac its hard to find places to eat at. Majority of them don't have the understanding and always cross contamination. For the first time I was able to eat with no issues order off of the gluten-free menu on line. They took the time and effort to make every precautions. My husband was happy because we can now add one of his treat spots!

Had a birthday deal available which was redeemable through mobile as well as through the app. Took my daughter out after to supper to enjoy this with her only to leave disappointed. The workers wouldn't accept it even though it scanned through. Did it both ways and was given nothing nor an explanation. Dairy Queen you can do better. Won't be back at this location for awhile, if at all.
