The Old Hound in Ontario

"Came to this ice cream place both nights while I was in town because it’s that good! There are so many flavors to choose from. The portions are huge and delicious, making up for the slightly high prices. It was packed both times we came, yet the staff were still friendly and fast."

"Excellent! They were out of the kinds I wanted; it was a hot and busy week. So I asked the employee to surprise me and she delivered. It was so good!! Will be coming back again for sure and letting them choose my flavour again. Great little spot."

"Best ice cream parlour knowledgeable staff and the girls are super nice. Loves me some anything banana ice cream and they haves it. We go every weekend (Sunday) when we go home from the cottage, and they DO NOT disappoint. Too boot they have country music videos playing. ! WHOOOWHOOOO!!!!"

"Excellent selection of great quality ice cream. Priced fairly. Great experience! Highly suggest this place if your feeling like an ice cream treat."

"Delicious ice cream, family-owned business & good people. The portion size was huge for the money spent, so value was through the roof, and the ice cream was so good. The owner served us himself and is truly passionate about his store. We ended up spending nearly an hour in his store chatting about ice cream and life, including the best brands in Ontario and Canada - I learned something new. He even offered us a taste of a wacky flavoured ice cream just for fun later on. It was a very fun experience & I will definitely return every time I’m in the area."

"Really great ice cream and excellent prices, however, depending on staff that’s working depends on their rules and regulations about dogs entering the building and being given free ice cream. Maybe staff can all be on same page about this for the future."

"The new owner is an awesome dude has some crazy flavour that really take ice cream to another level the staff is very easy going even if your slightly "picky" on how you want your scoops stacked lol"

"Date of Visit: Tuesday, June 24, 2025 While driving through Mount Forest, we checked out The Old Hound on the main street —and it absolutely lived up to the hype! This charming little shop is a dream for ice cream lovers, offering a wide selection of Ontario-made favourites like London Dairy, Kawartha, and Shaw’s—three of our all-time go-to brands. The service was fantastic—friendly, patient, and thoughtful. When we ordered two scoops in one cone, the staff member even asked which flavour we wanted on the bottom. It’s the little things that make a big difference! Inside, the shop is adorable, with a giant ice cream cone statue and a few cozy spots to sit and enjoy your treat. There’s also plenty of street parking, making it an easy stop whether you’re passing through or planning a visit. With tons of flavours to choose from, huge portions, and very reasonable prices, The Old Hound is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. We’ll definitely be back!"
