Holman's Ice Cream Parlour

Prince Edward Island


This ice-cream emporium is where everyone in Summerside comes for their fix: 100% homemade, served in a cake cone or waffle cone, and with delicious flavors like peanut butter fudge swirl, sticky bun and maple walnut. Holman's also has an 80-year-old soda fountain for that extra retro cred.

The building itself is among the oldest in Summerside, and still has its original Victorian-era garden.
