Pro Tips
- 1.English menus are available, but learning basic French phrases like 'vanille' (vanilla) and 'chocolat' helps, as staff may be primarily French-speaking in this Quebec community.
- 2.The chocolate-dipped soft serve is their signature item: choose your ice cream flavor, then pick from milk, dark, or white chocolate for dipping.
- 3.Visit during off-peak hours (weekday afternoons) to avoid long weekend lines, especially during summer months when locals flock here.
- 4.Bring cash or card, and note that prices are in Canadian dollars. Budget about $8-12 CAD per person for treats.
- 5.Take napkins and wet wipes, as the chocolate shell can be messy for little hands but cracks satisfyingly when you bite into it.
Best Time to Visit
Weekday afternoons or early evenings are ideal to avoid weekend crowds. Summer evenings (7-8 PM) offer a quieter experience when families have finished dinner. Winter visits are equally enjoyable for a cozy treat after outdoor activities.
What to Know
Expect to spend $8-12 CAD per person for signature treats. Parking is available in the plaza lot. The shop is casual and family-friendly, though mostly French-speaking (staff usually accommodate English speakers). Credit cards and cash accepted.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round, making it a perfect treat destination in any season. Summer is busiest with locals seeking cool treats, while winter offers a cozy indulgence after skating or snow activities. Holiday periods may feature special chocolate gift sets.
