I used to come here when it was Gerry's! But after not being to Invermere in several years, I was pleasantly surprised to see the place is still here, but under a new name. The food was great, which I kind of expected, because Gerry's Gelato was fantastic. I had their soup of the day, with a ginger molasses cookie and a coconut milk london fog. Everything was tasty! That said, the service was not as great... the person taking my order did not look happy and tried to rush me... he was just NOT customer service oriented whatsoever. This individual, and most of the staff I had interactions with lacked warmth. I am not sure if this is just the Invermere way... but it was odd. I looked past it because the food is great and I have fond memories of the place but this is just something worth mentioning. I will likely return, as I have family living in Invermere, and I love a little cafe... but I will be more stringent with my tips moving forward. I hope whoever reads this, like the owner, can take this feedback and enact a warmer atmosphere amongst the staff. As a paying customer and someone who tips generously, it is disappointing to receive subpar service, especially when you ask for a tip before you even give your customer their entire meal. Just some friendly food...
Read moreAfter spending a few hours at Kinsmen beach, what could be better than cold, delicious ice cream? Absolutely nothing! This place stepped up to the plate to deliver that much-needed refreshment, and for a really good price, too! In addition to the standard flavours you would find in any ol' ice cream joint, Gerry's also has other, unique, and delicious flavours as well. There's also a decent selection of dairy-free flavours as well. So next time you're looking for that blast of cool, sweet goodness after spending a hot day at the beach, I definitely recommend going to Gerry's!
(This isn't an advertisement; I just really liked the place.)
For specifics, I had the Unicorn as well as Black Licorice (go ahead, hate me), while my wife had the Unicorn and Chocolate Brownie. The Unicorn was very good, almost like bubblegum ice cream, and had little specks of what I'm guessing was candy floss. Black licorice is always delicious, and the brownie had a really good...
Read moreDisappointed with the service here.There were at least 5-6 employees on shift, but most seemed to be walking around behind not doing anything. One staff member was helping an older gentleman with a larger order, which is understandable. I was second in line and waiting patiently, while another staff member stood at the cash just watching. A couple came in after me, walked up to look at the flavours, and were immediately served by the cashier, completely bypassing me and the gentlemen infront of me who were waiting for an employee to finish with the large order to serve us next. It was frustrating to be ignored while 3 other employees wandered around aimlessly as the line grew longer behind us. After waiting for nearly 10 minutes, I left without purchasing anything. Poor organization and lack of basic customer service ruined...
