Scoops By The Sea - Chemainus

I discovered a charming little ice cream shop nestled in a corner behind a commercial building. This place makes their own ice cream and puts on a delightful show for those taking the horse-drawn carriage ride around town. Here’s a tip: if you opt for the full house carriage package, you get a free scoop of ice cream! On my visit, I indulged in a freshly made batch of mint chocolate chip, which was the perfect treat after exploring the town on a hot day.

The absolute best ice cream on Vancouver Island! The owner's family is incredibly kind and welcoming. Their ice cream strikes the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. Plus, the waffle cones are delightfully fresh and tasty—I'm not exaggerating! I can’t wait to return and enjoy their ice cream again soon!

I was thrilled to find that they offer dairy-free options, and the child-sized waffle cones really made me a hero in my granddaughter's eyes!

I had the frozen lemonade with pineapple, and it was delicious!
