You may arrive 15 minutes prior to your party start time. Please do not arrive earlier than 15 minutes prior to your party start time as our staff will be performing opening procedures beforehand, so if you arrive too early you may have to wait before they can accommodate you.

Our parties include a mini cup of ice cream to eat during the party and generally this is enough for dessert. However, you are welcome to bring in a cake or cupcakes from a commercial bakery if you wish.
Can adults stay for the party?
We recommend 1-3 hosting adults stay for the party and drop off for guests as space and seating is limited. If you have some parent's of guests that would like to stay, please be advised it may be standing room only for adults.
What types of parties do you do?
We have two types of parties:
-
Ice Cream Pint Party - During your ice cream party, guests will create their own custom ice cream flavour, colour the box label and bring home their creation! They’ll also get to eat some yummy ice cream as we always make an extra mini cup to enjoy at the shop—full pint is what they go home with.
-
Donut Decorating Party- During your donut party guests will decorate their own box of mini donuts (9 per box), colour the box label and bring home their creation! They’ll also eat some yummy donuts as we make extra to decorate and eat at the party, and they’ll each receive a mini cup of ice cream to make a donut sundae.
You would choose one type of party experience (either ice cream party or mini donut party) and any additional add-on activities to create your party package.
