Irie Pops — Restaurant in Saint John

I had this place highlighted well before my trip to St John. I was really excited that there was a place to get soft-serve on the island, and I looked forward to going there after hiking, touring, etc. So, I went by the first time at 6:20 PM and they told me that they had turned off the soft-serve machine since they were closing at 6:30.
