Point Pleasant Grocery

Perfect first date venue! Grab an ice-​creamy cone and go for a walk in the Point Pleasant Park. Or down Young Avenue and pretend you can afford all the homes in the area. I have had many an ice cream from here over the years as my grands lived in the neighbourhood. The owners are super friendly and they have a lovely variety of iced creams to tantalize your taste buds.
Side note: if the date is going badly you can quickly claim a case of lactose intolerance or just hide behind some trees until he and/​or she goes away!

This place should really just be called: COME GET YOUR ICE CREAM AFTER WALKING IN THE PARK because I’m really not sure how/​why you’d end up there otherwise. And I mean that lovingly!
After a stroll along the water, Point Pleasant Grocery should be your immediate next stop for a classic cone. No hand-​paddled flare, no soft-​serve shenanigans, just all the glory of those ice creams that take some serious muscle to scoop out of their massive bins.
The owners are friendly and nonjudgmental which is especially important for when you try a double of whatever chocolatey, peanut buttery, fudgey selection floats your boat.

I have a personal tradition of stopping by this quaint little shop after enjoying a long, relaxing summer evening stroll through the adjacent Point Pleasant Park, in search of a scoop or two of whatever ice cream I’m in the mood for at the time. Usually black raspberry cheesecake, but sometimes I get a little daring and go for the moon mist. Oh yeah, livin’ on the edge, baby.
The couple who run this store, as others have mentioned are very pleasant (edit: pun not intended), and make the visit all the more enjoyable with their good cheer and friendly service.

What a great followup to an afternoon jaunt through Point Pleasant Park. This specialty store has small-​town tidings and a certain charm that makes it worth going to.
But who is kidding who? I’m here for the ice-​cream. Ante up on the double scoopage, because the flavourful opportunity makes it hard to pick just one. But maybe its not ice-​cream you desire– they’ve got other frozen snacks to select from, as well as a fine bundle of all the basics.
Certainly one of the better corner stores in the city, Point Pleasant’s sweet location and presence in the area are a plus.

Since I don’t live in the south end, the point pleasant grocery is mostly useless to me as a corner store. This doesn’t mean I don’t like the place, quite to the contrary, I really love it during certain times of year.
When the sun is out and the days are warm point pleasant park is a great spot to spend a day with a friend and an ice cream. Point Pleasant Grocery is a great spot to grab the aforementioned ice cream. The store has a lot of flavors and offers fairly large scoops for a decent price. In addition to the ice cream, the older couple who run the store are a hoot and love to have a little chat if the ice cream line isn’t too busy!
As a corner store, the Point Pleasant Grocery is alright, but a little out of the way to be a real option for anybody outside the south end.
Hot Hint: Point Plesant Grocery is the last pit stop by the entrance to point plesant park which makes it a great place to use the restroom grab some water or snacks for a walk.

You know it is good when you are out for a drive and you drive half way through the city to get an ice cream. Summer days are packed at this little locations sometimes it is so packed we have to wait outside.
One of the largest ice cream selections in town with come of the biggest scoops. Not sure if I should be telling everyone as the line up will be bigger.
it is beautiful on a summer night to go and park at Point Pleasant Park and walk over for an ice cream and then go walk through the park or just sit on the wall and people watch.
This is a normal convenience store filled with all other goodies such as drinks, chips and chocolate. But the main attraction that keeps you coming back is the ice cream.

Clearly a crowd favourite! Point Pleasant Grocery is perfectly situated at the edge of the park, ready to serve you and your kids some *real* ice cream while you play in the summer. Shawna’s right about the line-​up, so please be patient! The couple who owns this store do their best to keep it moving though.
I did have one off experience here, though, when I friend when in to get juice and was treated huffily by the woman at the desk. Just a one time thing, though, and hopefully just a bad day.

Point Pleasant Grocery is The Best Ice Cream Spot for the summer.
The selection is huge and the owners are great. You will most likely have to wait a bit, because there is usually a line up.
It is well worth the wait! The owners have a strong following of customers. This is where you can walk in and they will know your name.
There is nothing bad to say here, all good!

First and foremost, I can’t imagine a summer walk through Point Pleasant Park WITHOUT stopping here for a delicious ice cream cone.
Coming from Montréal and Toronto, my assumption, the first time here with family was that when my son-​in-​law suggested an ice cream, I was certain he meant the kind every other convenience store on earth (North American earth, anyway) carries — individually wrapped bars and sandwiches. What a pleasant surprise! A real ice cream shop, with at least a dozen choices from traditional chocolate and vanilla to bubblegum and… well, you name it, they have it.
Truthfully, I don’t remember seeing any actual ‘groceries” — which to me means fruit and vegetables, but they certainly do have a large selection of canned goods, milk, bread… the usual convenience store items.

Point Pleasant Grocery is like a work of fiction. This is the classic neighborhood shop from the movies. The Ma and Pa Shop run by the old couple that take a special interest in their customers and know your name.
I had no idea these places actually existed, but I sure am glad they do.
As has been mentioned, the summer time is the right time for this place. The ice cream collection is incredible. The scoops are big and the variety is second to none.
This is the perfect spot to stop before you venture into Point Pleasant Park and a great spot to grab a treat on your way out. It’s a little chilly now, but before long it will be time to line up inside this tiny shop for some delicious ice cream!

This little grocery store is amazing! Couldn’t agree more with Ang with regard to the cute little couple running it. Very nice people.
Try and get out for a walk around the park (really beautiful with all the colours changing) and an icecream cone before the weather starts to turn! A fun little outing without much of an associated cost.

I don’t know their names, but the folks that run this little corner store just across from the Tower Road entrance to Point Pleasant Park are something special. For one thing, on hot summer days, the lineup for their extensive ice cream selection can snake all the way through the store and out the front door, and these two never lose their cool.
The other thing that makes them extraordinary is this: I have a friend who buys her newspapers at this shop every day. Sometimes the store runs out of papers, but because they know she’s coming, the owners always set one of each newspaper aside for her and save it until she arrives.
And once, I’m told, the store’s entire morning delivery was stolen, so the owner went somewhere else and bought her a copy of the papers so that they would be there for her when she arrived.
Now, THAT is neighbourly service.
