We visited for sweet treats obviously - tried 3 ice creams - raspberry cheesecake, cookies and cream and bounty bar - all were very tasty and their homemade waffle cone was very good. Its setup in a historic house and the seating is very cute...giving it an amazing feel and ambiance. Definitely would visit when in area - great for date nights.More

Nothing is better than homemade ice cream. Made in small batches, the menu is always changing. The flavours are amazing. Yesterday we had Salted Carmel and warm apple crisp sundae. These were deeply enjoyed in their garden. This is a must when visiting Summerside!

Best small-batch ice cream, waffle cones and bowls, made-in-house bagged Chocolate English Toffee! We bought a bag after tasting it in an ice cream flavour intending to bring it home but ended up eating every scrumptious piece during our stay in Summerside. We also recommend...ordering The Sampler in order to taste more ice cream flavours. And my favorites? The chocolate (made with dark chocolate) and pistachio (made with finely chopped nuts and no artificial green coloring): magnificent!More

Amazing flavours and dessert options. The waffle cone was the best I’ve ever had - it was a little more crispy and less chewy than others.

Delicious ice cream. I had lemon meringue pie flavor! They also have pretty gardens that you can sit in and eat. We could hear the music from the downtown antique car show while we enjoyed our ice cream.

I stayed in Summerside for 3 overnights. One of the first things the motel owner mentioned was going to Holmans. I am glad I listened. Not only is their ice cream exceptional but the house and grounds are beautiful. I spent some time there taking...pictures of their beautiful flowers and just sitting in one of the chairs out in the garden. Such peace. Highly recommend this place for the ice cream, the gardens and the peace. Only thing I was disappointed about was only being able to go two of the three days while in Summerside. Seriously ao darn good.More

Holman's is the best ice cream in the island. It is better than a certain other famous ice cream shop in PEI, you know the one...named after a large dairy animal. Aside from the delicious ice cream, the sitting area outside is large and beautiful...and perfect for enjoying a treat on a nice day. I can't wait to come back to PEI next time I'm in PEI.More

We finally were able to visit this ice cream shop on Canada day. The service was amazing, the person at the window was very patient when my kiddos couldn’t make up their minds AND it was free sprinkle day! The ice cream was the most...delicious my family has ever had. The kids enjoyed the outdoor seating and it was a really nice way to spend some of our Canada day. We will definitely be making the trip again next summer.More

The best ice cream on PEI, hands down! Milkshakes, ice cream and sundaes, Holman’s is our first choice. We drive over an hour each way often (more often than we’d like to admit!) for their products. You won’t be disappointed!

Yes, we are wheelchair accessible through the garden door. Easiest would be to park in the driveway off of Summer Street for Best access. Washrooms are accessible. Thanks for the questions.
