Qualicum Beach: 24+ Soft Serve Flavours!

With our afternoon class cancelled, we had time to drive one of our classmates home, and on the way we stopped for ice cream at the concession stand at Qualicum Beach (right along the old Vancouver Island highway).

What's so special about getting ice cream here? They have over 30 flavours! Big deal, you say? Over 30 flavours of soft serve. Don't know about you, but that's something we haven't seen before. The system they use allows them to add flavoured syrup to plain soft serve and dispense it to the cone as a unique-flavoured creation. Check out some of the flavours they offer (click image to enlarge):

There were four of us there and we each ordered a different kind: kahlua, praline, root beer, and watermelon. All the flavours were quite tasty, and the root beer one especially tasted like a nice root beer float.  This is definitely a spot that was worth the drive and the fact that you can enjoy your ice cream while sitting right next to the beach only sweetens the deal. If you're in Qualicum Beach, or even just driving through, definitely plan to make a pit stop here!

Watermelon soft serve - awesome!
