We stopped by The Real Scoop to grab ice cream after visiting some of the wineries nearby. It was a well deserved treat and we really enjoyed the servings that we ordered. The prices seemed a little expensive but, it wasn’t so bad for three adults.

Very cool and novel concept for ice cream. From three different variants to assemble the ice cream I found super. The waffles are baked in the store itself. The ice cream was super tasty and will try again.

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!

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
