The C Shop — Local services in Birch Bay

Always great desserts here, but don't bring Canadian cash... They don't take it any more. Canadian credit cards work though, but don't count on tap because they won't use it if they can avoid it. The new owners are cheaping out on debit/credit fees. But still the same c-shop treats you know and love.

Edit: I've been informed ownership hasn't changed... So there may be some. Work the owners need to do to inform the locals of that, because I heard from more than just a few it was new owners.

The reason I gave the C shop any stars at all is it's saving grace the candy shop side which I do recommend but like I said the cafe will not get our...

My wife and I went on 6/20/2021 just when they opened at 1:00. We ordered salted caramel ice cream cones. The good. The ice cream was excellent. The bad. 1. After paying over $3 for an ice cream cone, the serving was about the size of a golf ball and literally fit inside the cone. 2. The ice cream was so soft if was melting and running down the outside of the cone within 30 seconds of being served. 3. An informational sign fell off the counter and into a tub of ice cream. The person scooping the ice cream simply picked it up and put it right back on the counter and kept scooping. (There has to be a health violation there somewhere.) Overall, it just seemed very expensive, a little chaotic and...
