Scoop Stories
For generations, Central Smith has been a part of countless sweet moments, from first dates to family outings, summer traditions to rainy-day pick-me-ups.
For some, our Selwyn parlour has been a cherished hometown stop for decades, a place where childhood favourites are now shared with the next generation. For others, it’s a delightful surprise discovered on a road trip, our big red roof catching their eye.
Whether you’ve joined us here at the parlour or enjoyed our ice cream in a restaurant or scooping parlour somewhere across Canada, the experience is always a special one.
Recently, we invited ice cream lovers to share what Central Smith means to them, and they delivered! Keep reading for some of the heart-melting moments our customers have shared.
Nothing says summer like enjoying a scoop (or two!) of delicious ice cream with the family at Central Smith. Definitely a summer must!!

My sister and I visited at Christmas time a couple of years ago. We wanted to surprise our family with some ice cream. We ended up buying over 30 litres! It was my sister’s very first time visiting the parlour and was a trip we’ll never forget!

During Covid, my family and I discovered the variety packs, and we got really excited whenever a new one was announced. We would sit down and try all of the different flavours to pick our favourites. Central Smith ice cream became a way for my family to connect during a difficult time.
