Laiterie de Coaticook
The birthplace of a Quebec ice cream brand known across the province, where the generous scoops at the factory shop are a must-stop on a road trip.
Laiterie de Coaticook was founded in 1940, and its ice cream is known to nearly everyone in Quebec for its rich, creamy flavor and generous portions. The ice cream shop at the factory gate offers dozens of flavors, with signature options including maple, strawberry and 'Coaticook' cream, and lines often form in summer. The shop also sells local cheese. Prices are affordable, with a single cone costing about C$5. It is conveniently on the way before or after a visit to the Coaticook Gorge, and is located north of the town of Coaticook.
