I visited Sugah on two different occasion, It was during a 8 days stay in Halifax. I was walking on the waterfront boardwalk and I noticed lots of visitors getting out of that store (it’s more of a store then a restaurant). People were getting out with ice-cream cones and bags of candies. So on my first visit I decided to try and Ice-cream cone, I was not ready to get in a long line-up and being rushed to order something. When it came to my turn to place my order, I asked if they have frozen yogurt , did not; so I tried asking for a pistachios in a waffle cone , did not have either. You basically have only a few choice you can choose from , as plain as Chocolate and Vanilla…with a few variants and you put it in a cone or in a paper bowl. From my point of view…very boring and expensive.

My second visit , I concentrated on the candies ,  I looked at a few bags and I choose a bag of brittle (Beer Brittle), at least it’s a local product , hand made with local beer (Garrison’s Irish Red Ale). Again, it was very expensive for a little 300g bag (7.95$) , but like I said, I wanted to at least try a local product. It’s very good by the way.

My suggestion, I would recommend that you go for the candies, not for the ice-cream. You definitely have to taste the brittles.
