Octopus Ice Cream

New Brunswick


Come to this place right on the harbor to be spoiled by choice. Black cherry, pistachio, chocolate peanut butter and countless other flavors come as cones, milkshakes, banana splits and sundaes. And then there's the toppings. Be sure to try the homemade fish-shaped waffle cones.
