A month ago, I bought a Groupon for treats from The Perfect Scoop. I have three vouchers to use and decided to drive over to Port Perry on a warm, mid-September Saturday.
This store is on Water Street, in the heart of downtown Port Perry, which has a ton of restaurants and cafes. There is street parking, but I didn't find any spots. Instead, I parked in a free public parking lot next to the CIBC and walked over.
There are some tables and seats outside this cute frozen dessert place. There was one table with chairs inside after I walked in.
It felt like heaven in here. I looked at all the ice cream flavours. Everything looked so good. This place offers sugar-free and vegan options, which was great.
My eyes went over to the gelato (dairy) and sorbetto (dairy-free) selections. My two favourite flavours, creamsicle gelato and dole whip sorbetto, were next to each other. OMG!
The nice man behind the counter helped me out. I showed him my Groupon and he found me in the system. I asked him about the gelato and sorbetto. I went with a scoop each of the creamsicle gelato and pineapple dole whip sorbetto.
My order was over $5, which was more than my Groupon. I simply paid the difference. I paid using cash. Debit and credit cards are also accepted.
He was helpful and friendly, asking me where I was from. The drive from Markham to Port Perry isn't all that far. I think it took me 40 minutes and I wasn't gunning it. He wanted folks to learn about Port Perry. In my books, his goal succeeded with me!
I decided to walk around Palmer Park across the street and managed to sit down to eat my dessert. The dole whip is so refreshing and good. There were tiny bits of pineapple in each creamy spoonful. So good!
I loved the creamsicle. It was so creamy and the orange flavour was perfect. There were also little candy bits on top, which I enjoyed.
I can't wait to try more flavours. There were eight different sorbetto flavours. I want more!
My industrial arts (a.k.a. shop) teacher from grades 7 and 8 retired in Port Perry. I can see why. Should I retire in Port Perry (I serious can see that happening after this day trip), I'd be at The Perfect Scoop often. The gelato and sorbetto were perfection.

Located in the small town of Port Perry, the Perfect Scoop is a great place for gelato if you're in the area. They have some great flavours including pumpkin spice!Gelato was soft and delicious. I've been twice and would definitely come back again!

A Very friendly lady had served us today! They have Many flavour options! And they even offer samples before you commit!! Very well priced! Especially compared to across the street! We paid $10 for 4 ice creams! And earlier we had to pay $4.50 for a kawartha scoop... and nothing beats real gelato!

Stopped in here for some gelato the other day with my boyfriend while visiting Port Perry for the afternoon. When we walked in, the shop was empty and the two people behind the counter didn't greet us. The lady said hello after about a minute or so. There was a small selection of gelato/sorbet flavours. We were asked if we wanted to try anything and when we said yes, the lady seemed almost bothered by us sampling flavours before selecting. My boyfriend went with strawberry and I chose cappuccino. Single scoop/1 flavour was $3.50 plus tax. They were both quite tasty and fresh.
We decided to sit outside on the bench while we ate before getting in the car to head home. While we were sitting there, the gentleman that was inside the shop (the owner I'm guessing) came outside with a large bucket of water and scrubbing brush and proceeded to dump the bucket right by our feet and clean the sidewalk, which made for a bit of a mess. We were almost finished eating too and it wasn't anywhere near closing time, so we thought that was rather odd timing. There was no garbage can outside the shop either to throw away our cups.
The gelato was good, customer service could use some work. I love to support local businesses so we gave this place a shot. We might come again if we are in the area.
