Tin Roof Dairy Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Phenomenal space with amazing people! You can absolutely tell that heart and soul were poured into making this a really cool and inclusive space for everyone. Our ice cream was awesome too- massive portion sizes for very fair prices. This is a place I'd go out of my way to return to!
Very cute ice cream shop with a good selection. Kawartha ice cream. Looks like it's also a cafe that serves sandwiches, and other items and coffee. We haven't tried any of those options except the ice cream. The location is great just in front on of Sobeys so parking is not a problem. The store is located on the Main Street so we have to park the car in the Sobeys complex and walk across the street. We ordered Tigers Tail and Moose Tracks. One in a waffle cone and other in a cup the ice cream was amazing. The scoop size is very large for a small serving and the mixed flavour of the ice cream was delicious. We all loved it and enjoyed it. The flavour was so different and I can tell you that this will be a sure stop for us when driving to Brighton or passing through. I would definitely recommend this place for people to try out this ice cream shop in Brighton or while visiting Presqu’ile Provincial Park.
Great quality tasty food in a fun inviting atmosphere oh and fantastic prices to boot! I had the mushroom Swiss sandwich(best I've ever had!) and my partner had the tukey club with the soup( I had to have a bite of course and both were super tasty).Then we ended the date off with two delightful ice cream parfaits. You can tell there's a lot of love that goes into everything they serve. We're already looking forward to our next visit.
Can’t say enough great words about this place and the awesome owner. She was gracious and we all had a nice conversation with her. Great selections of ice creams
I am so amazed by this place. I was expecting a little hole in wall ice cream shop but I found this super cute store that has such thoughtful details! Cute instagrammable decor? Check. Sanitary pads and diaper wipes in washroom? Check. Board games? Check! Comic books? Check. Lots of seating? Check. Little mini store supporting local crafters? Check. Amazing selection including coffee with dairy free milk? Check! Better than the ice cream shops in GTA.
Great service. Great ice cream. Nice and quaint snack bar with ice cream and sandwiches.
The staff was really friendly and the ice cream was delicious. I ordered 3 scoops on a waffle cone. Salty caramel, cherry, and mango. They all tasted amazing. The portion was huge for a reasonable price! Would definitely come visit this place again!
We absolutely love the Tin Roof! The ice cream and ice cream cakes are always delicious, and the servings are super generous for the price. The Tin Roof has always been incredibly welcoming, and is a warm and friendly environment for all. We love the staff at the Tin Roof. Meg is an absolute gem and why we always come back(weekly ). We also always have fantastic service from TJ. Super knowledgeable and always working hard when it’s busy. This is the place to stop in for a treat when you are in Brighton.
