For the price of the ice cream, there should be flavour included. The staff is always friendly but the ice cream is underwhelming.

This is, without a doubt, the best ice cream we have ever had. Just to clarify we live in Banff where apparently the two "best" ice creams places in the country are and they have NOTHING on Blue Spruce and just it's flavors.The young women behind the counter was a total sweetie and let us try a few before we settled on what we wanted. We couldn't make up our mind! Everything was so unique. Most flavors we had not heard of.The Spruce Tip ice cream was so bueno that my husband and I talked about it and compared it to every other ice cream we had for 2 weeks. Whether you live on the island, you're only visiting for a short time, or only there for a few hours to then catch a ferry....make some time for this place and get a double scoop to try two types.WOW! I'm drooling.

What a great ice cream hang out!! Very charming. Excellent ice cream with dairy free options and various cone options. I had the coconut Carmel ice cream in a waffle dish, it was delicious. The shop has outdoor seating also. Lots of other goodies too. I left with a chocolate cookie and some homemade meringue cookies. Next visit I'll try the homemade sandwiches. I definitely recommend this place!

Must try!! Stopped by the see if they had any Vegan ice cream! Many amazing vegan flavors. AND in house made ice cream sandwiches. Will be back again!

This place is amazing. I can’t believe the chocolate coconut is vegan. It’s one of the best ice “creams” my husband and I have ever tasted.

I haven’t had a flavour I haven’t liked! Love the chai custard sandwich.

Cute ice cream shop right downtown and near a bunch of cute shops. Had really interesting flavours (the spruce tip was good) as well as classic chocolate. They had dairy free and gluten free options as well.

I am an ice cream snob, and I LOVED Blue Spruce. The flavours were all on point (especially the caramel, which is hard to get right). I am celiac and they make the GF cones in house and they are celiac safe!! I didn't love the ice cream sandwiches because I found the cookies too thick. It was overall just too much to eat, and the cookies overpowered the actual ice cream. The cookies taste delicious on their own at room temp. The vegan coconut ice cream was a little too thick and coconut-y and not quite sweet enough.
The smoothest vegan ice cream I've ever had. Chocolate Coconut. Wow. Their ice cream cookie sandwiches are also super yummy, chocolate hazelnut is my favourite.

Absolutely love this place, ambience and atmosphere! Best place for ice creams, they have very refreshing flavours to offer, I tried blackberry & corn flavour and absolutely loved the taste. Best ice cream place on the island!Must go place in Courtenay!

Best ice cream in town! Phenomenal service, super nice staff, and delicious ice cream. They have a nice patio outside now and they're super close to the water - great spot to stop in at after tubing in the puntledge or walking the air park.

Great tasting ice cream with some new flavours I've not had before, I.e Butterscotch brownie. Tested a few flavours. Friendly staff, nice outdoor seating in the shade. Worth the treat.

Absolutely love! Tried once years before and it's stayed with me until our visit to Courtenay this year. Love the selection of flavours and the vegan options!
Blown away by how good the Lavender Honey is :)
