Enjoyed a chocolate chip cookie, a "Freeze" made from peaches, blueberries, organic sugar, and make syrup and a couple of Lure caramels while we took in the stunning scenery of Blue Rocks! Lots of great local gifts are on sale here too.

What a very special little place! We enjoyed some of the delicious ice cream, and then decided to purchase a picnic dinner. We found a place on the rocks to sit & enjoy the view, & the amazing food. If you are in the Lunenburg area, this is definitely a stop to put on your list!

Anywhere near this area you have to make a point to stop at THE POINT. Amazing food and crafts. Catherine remembered us from our last visit a year ago and we just had the nicest talk. she is just as sweet as the ice cream. Good times.

The sweetest little spot !!!! LOVED this little place... the young lady working there (I'm so sorry I've forgotten her name - August 11.2019) was sunshine personified, and this added to our enjoyment. Ice cream & Coffee was delish. and the view is even better!!! What an asset to this beautiful area. Thank you for such a nice experience!

A lovely place to get ice-cream and croissants. Don't pack a lunch, they'll make you a picnic basket. Cash or Card. Amazing views in a lovely fishing town.
