We were in the area for a one week vacation with family. We decided to have ice cream and found this shop. The owner is so kind and ice cream prices are affordable, same as Kawartha diary prices. I recommend this place to others.

The best local bakery and ice cream parlour experience you could have. Welcomed in with our dog and had a lovely chat about her Frenchies. The ice cream was delicious and portions generous! We shared an array of baked goods at home and the so far the cinnamon toast muffin is my favourite. Definitely a must try spot!

Went for ice cream, can’t beat Kawartha Dairy. I regret not getting a butter tart, but it's a perfect reason to return.

Amazing spot that serves 40 flavours of Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream and some of the best better tarts in the Georgian Bay region. The only thing as sweet as the butter tarts is the owner G'ma. I got one right out of the oven and they are really well priced! Looking forward to coming back to support a local owned small business!

At times, I am dubious about such highly rated businesses, but I googled bakery and this establishment came up. We checked it out. This place is not fancy, this place is not big, there is not a huge selection of items, but damn.... The French Toast muffins were to die for! So good, so fresh! Inhaled it..... Also purchased a tray of chocolate chip cookies to take to a friends house. After dinner, out come the cookies. Thinking, well they are just chocolate chip cookies.... My friend took one and had a bite... And just stared at me ... Did you make these? No, I got them at G'Ma's. They were amazed! I think, the best chocolate chip cookie ever was mentioned.. I will be back....So Good!! Staff and owners are very nice and helpful folks as well!
