Souter's Variety Gift Shop - Coboconk

Super friendly staff and reasonably priced ice which is always full. The attached ice cream shop is a busy spot. Not outrageous prices either. read more Super friendly staff and reasonably priced ice which is always full. The attached ice cream shop is a busy spot. Not outrageous prices either.

To the left is the variety shop/vintage look signs that are all the rage and to the RIGHT is the take out only ice cream shop. Biggest CON: There's no washrooms for paying customers and only two bus stop looking benches to sit at or in the front steps in front of the shop. Strange, as melting ice cream hands need a wet wipe or a sink yet they direct customers across the street to the laundromat. Variety store isles are tight with lots of things to knock off shelves with your purse so be careful. Like: Ice cream shop: all Kawartha Dairy Flavours, and there's a lot to pick from, two take out windows that serve and pay, so a bit slow but they really fill the cone full even in a single scoop $2.45). Variety Store: They also sell small to large tubs of Kawartha dairy even though food land is down the street) Love love the signs for sale, decent prices compared to the city. From cottage to man cave there's something you'd want or to buy for someone as a gift. Also sell bags of ice out front, convenience items, magazines, cards, and candy boutique. I picked a sign from the leaning pile, it had a slight scratch but when I got to cash, she said they have more bubbled wrapped without me saying a word. So that was very helpful. read previous reviewer, yikes that's a horrible experience, today's shop keep was a mid aged lady and her daughter it seems, with two young girls running the ice cream parlour next door, all very sweet and friendly.
