Strachan's Ice Cream & Desserts - Dunedin

So some friends and I come to this place at like 9PM on a Friday night. It's super packed with families. It looks like the busiest place on the whole downtown strip of Dunedin, and for good reason. So we walk by the walk-through window and see that people can order and get their ice cream from the street, which is actually pretty nice. We get inside the building and it is just jammed wall-to-wall with people. We get in line and start pondering our choices. They have a menu of amazing-sounding ideas, like scoops, sundaes, milkshakes, etc. They have freezers lining the wall with various slices of pie or cakes or whole pies and cakes. The options are seemingly limitless. We get to the front and start to browse the flavors. They are all unique and obviously made in-house. I settle on a scoop of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (Peanut butter with sweet and salty Reese's cups) and my girlfriend gets Carrot Cake (Carrot cake batter ice cream with chunks of our award winning carrot cake), both in waffle cones. Both were delicious. I thought I knew exactly what I was getting into with Reese's, but this place added in a salty element to the flavor that I didn't even know I wanted. If you like the salted caramel thing, you will like this flavor. As good as mine was, my girlfriend's was better. Her carrot cake was so... carrot-cakey. That's the best way I can put it. The taste of it was in every lick and the chunks of stuff you'd find like a nut or an actual carrot just set it off perfectly in a scoop that was just sweet enough to make you want to eat a whole gallon. I recommend. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. The wall-to-wall customers didn't stop them from serving us in a timely manner and there's even another option in the walk-through window if you're truly in a hurry. Five stars for an excellent product and I will be back the next time I am in Dunedin.

Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Great selection of interesting flavors. Love their waffle cones. Also try their carrot cake.

Always a good stop. Bring your furry friend and grab a “pup cone”. Great spot next to everything. Top quality ice cream!

This was the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Specifically, the carrot cake ice cream is insanely good. I have never seen this flavor before. It was essentially their carrot cake rolled together with ice cream. Unbelievable.

Today young man working was so slow and putting way too much fudge and Caramel on the sundae lost taste of ice cream
