Having just spent a day in Shediac near Moncton during our Canadian east coast trip, we were in some serious need of some icy treats. A google search later, we decided on Halley’s Scoops and Brew and were extremely satisfied with our visit!
Top 3 reasons:
Nice compact selection + Killer Soft Serve! – They had around 10-12 flavors of ice cream and some I’ve never seen or heard of before, all sourced from Central Smith Creamery. I’m not one that likes to be blinded by 20-30 flavors so having a smaller and interesting set of flavors works for me. Kids got Moonmist and Monster Cookie and both enjoyed them immensely. My favorite was their soft serve which was very smooth and absolutely delicious. Dairy Queen be gone! You can also customize your soft serve with various toppings or go with one of their pre-customized concoctions, which is what I did. I ordered a chocolate lovers dream called, OCD and consists of chocolate soft serve with chocolate fudge, chocolate crumble, brownies, and choclates sprinkled in and around the large cup. It was heavenly. They also sell pre-packaged cakes, ice cream cookies and other frozen treats.
Great Décor – Loved the look and feel of the ice cream shop. Made me feel at home with an intimate coffee shop kind of vibe.
Lovely Staff – Very friendly, accommodating, and patient staff. We had plenty of questions and couldn’t make up our mind but were only met with smiles, patience, and recommendations. Thank you. We learned that Halley’s Scoops and Brew is a small family business and just opened in June of 2023. Being the new kid on the block typically means some initial bumps but we didn’t experience any of that in our visit so if anything, you have our support and thank you for topping off our day with ice cream to remember!
I highly recommend Halley’s Scoops and Brew for some absolutely amazing ice cream (especially soft serve!) if you’re in Shediac or even surrounding cities, like Moncton. Great service, nice décor and dynamite ice...
Read moreThe Parlee Parfaits are absolutely delicious! I tried the strawberry 🍓 one this afternoon and it did not disappoint. It was made of layers of soft serve vanilla ice cream, strawberry sorbet, chunks of shortcake, strawberry sauce and a cute little chocolate starfish on top!
My son had the s'mores hard ice cream, with caramel sauce and brownie topping - he finished every last bite and preferred this ice cream to the other shop we had visited the day before.
My grandma had the classic vanilla dipped cone, and she really enjoyed hers as well. 🙂
The mother and daughter owners were so kind and friendly - they took the time to tell us about the menu and to answer any questions. Thank you so much. We...
Read moreWe stopped in at Hally’s while on vacation and it was so good that we had to stop again before we left. The service was amazing - even going into the back for a certain flavour that wasn’t posted but that we loved the day before, and giving us a freshly made sprinkle waffle cone. The portions are huge and even allow you to choose 2 flavours in a small cone. Overall an amazing experience. Wished we lived closer! Thank you Hally’s! We will be back...
