Hometown Ice Cream — Restaurant in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Took my mom here on the way home from our visit to the honey farm & the prices were absolutely absurd. 12 bucks for a tiny pint of ice cream or 7 dollars for a single scoop!!. The cookies were greasy / oily, the cinnamon bun muffin things we got was stale, tasting like it was a week old & was like 90% sugar. Every bite was just like you were crunching raw sugar crystals, it was incredibly diabetes inducing & not pleasant. We actually felt ill after eating one.

The ice cream, we bought a scoop of each (the birthday cake) was quite good tasting, but it was not worth the money at all. I could literally go to the grocery store & buy a high end brand like Kawartha Dairy's Moon mist for the same price & get drastically more ice cream that tastes just as good if not better. Felt like we got mugged!

There was also no trash bins outside at all, no napkins either, we had to go back into the store to throw out the trash & use wipes we had brought with us to tidy up.

Overall we were not impressed, feels like a place to take advantage of rich tourists. If you're local, stay away. There are better...

I tried the sourcream lime and it might be my new favorite flavor of ice cream. $7CAD (~$5USD) for a large single scoop in a waffle cone at a local shop beats anything near the Niagara Falls tourist trap area. This is a little bit out of the way if you're just visiting for the Falls, but the vineyards make an amazing view...
