Scoop's Ice Cream

Ottawa’s capital ice cream venues

Pakenham is a picturesque village about 50 minutes west of downtown Ottawa, renowned for having “the best hard ice cream around.” It’s not a store - it’s a shop-front where you line up outside, trying to puzzle out which ice cream flavour, milkshake, banana split or other treat you want. And yes, you will want several, so head over with a group of pals you can share your taste for ice cream. An Ottawa Valley insider’s choice, Scoops is open daily March through October, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
