Gold Winner Cows
Silver Winner Dee Dee's Ice Cream
Bronze Winner Humani-T Cafe, downtown
Its snaking queue and wafting scent of fresh-baked waffle cones are a sure sign summer—and tourist season—has reached its peak, but this waterfront scoop spot is equally beloved by locals, taking home the gold for its decadent ice cream. “The friendly atmosphere, fun, bubbly music, our scoopers are happy and want to be here,” Troy Palmer, Cows supervisor, cites as the reasons for the shop’s success. Flavour names like Wowie Cowie and Messie Bessie surely win points, too.
