Cascade Video & Variety Store

Funky Monkey ice cream hut! What a fantastic idea the owners of Cascade Variety had when they built this seasonal ice cream stand on the side of their store (which also serves pizza!). The name even sounds like an ice cream flavour! Seating outdoors to enjoy the summer days and they even have a dog pole to tie your 4 legged walking companion to while you order your treat to re-​stock those calories you burned on your walk.
Can there be a better place? Pizza/​donair, beverages, ice cream cones, & movies! I’m sad I moved away from the condo building next door :-(

Cascade Video & Variety is a convience store that is located in a hub of houses on Montebello in Dartmouth. Still being new to Dartmouth and always looking for a yummy ice cream I was taken to what is called the Funky Monkey Ice Hut.
Funky Monkey Ice Hut is located on the side of the store and in the summertime is packed. It actually looks like a coconut hut that is the home to the largest ice cream this side of the bridge that I have found. Normally when I go I am a regular chocolate girl the odd time if they are out which shocks me that an ice cream location runs out of a staple flavor like chocolate. Oh well this is an opportunity to try one of the many other flavours. Tropical treasure is TO DIE FOR but they do not get it in often but I keep requesting it. That is my first choice now but normally have to revert to chocolate as it is never in. Waffle cones as well as regular cones give you the choice as well as a cup. But seriously ice cream always tastes better in a cone.
Now they are not open right now as I just called and they told me that they might be open at the end of the month (May) but they will for sure be open for June. I told them summer is coming get to it!
Great prices and large cones will wet your lips this summer. Enjoy one of the tables in the parking lot if you can get a seat.
