Some of the best ice cream, made and served by some of the friendliest people, that you can ever hope to eat and meet. I happened upon this shop when passing through Harlech and now I know about it, I'd travel here just for the ice cream alone. Seriously, it's that good and they are that friendly.

This is genuinely the most amazing ice cream that I’ve eaten in my life (trust me, there’s been a lot…) - and even that statement is completely underselling it. It’s creamy, tasty, wholesome, and there are lots of great flavours to choose from. I loved that you could have half a scoop of two flavours. To be honest, half a scoop was the size of one small scoop, so portion sizes were generous. This seemed fair for the £3.60 cost. I would happily pay it all over again and wish I could take this ice cream shop home with me! They also sold a delicious looking range of handmade chocolate and fudge, but I only wanted ice cream. If you’re in Harlech, you absolutely must go here. There are plenty of benches close by at the castle on which to enjoy your ice cream. I chose the chocolate orange and the elderflower flavours. Both were total winners!

Lovely ice cream, fudge, and cakes made onsite from local ingredients. Very friendly and helpful - highly recommended!!!

Visited here today for the first time, The lady was extremely lovely. There were so many different flavours we could not decide. Absolutely the best tasting ice cream we have ever tasted - coffee and mint chocolate - strawberry and salted caramel. Can not wait to try more flavours on our next visit.

Delicious ice cream by a team passionate about flavour. I had honey butter and rhubarb 😋 and peach the next time 👌🏻 excellent cones too

This home made ice cream was delicious. we ate their twice, we got chocolate and ice cream first and only ice cream the second day

PS : this is my 7 year old daughter writing above 5 star review! We absolutely loved the place! So much so that next day we arrived there at 10:30am to have ice-creams to start our day! 😬😬

Been there today, had some unusual flavours I've never seen before! The staff member (daughter of the owners I think) was very polite and took the time to explain the unusual flavours and what goes in to the handcrafted ice cream. Very smiley and happy, lovely service and the ice cream is quite possibly the best we have ever tasted. Would highly recommend, sad we don't live closer to try some more!!!

My wife and I have eaten a lot of ice cream in our time, including in Italy. It is with no exaggeration that we believe this is the best ice cream we have ever had. The flavours and texture are to die for. Their selection of real fudge is just as good. It's worth travelling for. Quite possibly the best ice cream in the UK! Not sure how it could get any better.

The best ice cream I have ever had!!
And amazing fudge

Best ice cream i have ever in around snowdonia national park i recommend vegen choclate was very delicios i was happy with customer service

Been there several years ago and still think of the ice cream... A strong contender for the best ice cream I’ve ever had - and that’s saying something since I’ve eaten a lot of the stuff! I believe we had the honey comb crunch and the salted caramel and it was insanely good. I hope I can come back soon!

Lovely ice cream, many delicious variations to choose from 🍦
This one on the picture is sea buckthorn

As an ice-cream lover I taste the unusual tastes that I do not find at home. At your shop I had Elderflower and honeycomb ice-cream - both delicious! Also, a very Special baby sized ice-cream cone for my smallest one is something I have not seen before. Great service, thank you!

I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream in my time (guilty) but every lick of this delicious handcrafted ice cream was absolutely delicious. An amazing selection of flavours, handcrafted every morning! A must try if you are ever in town!

Staff were lovely and so was the ice cream! Also love that the pots are recyclable and the spoon is biodegradable. I went for the elderflower ice cream which was subtle but you could taste the quality of the ice cream

Best ice-cream and fudge ever!

Ice cream sat on the castle walls? Oh ok then! Best ice cream EVER. Go here … great flavours, beautiful creamy goodness in a cone

There’s 1/2 and 1/2 scoop! Really perfect for a person who coughs when eating cold drinks and ice cream. Getting to try two flavours without having to eat double scoops! My husband, who usually is not fond of ice cream as most are too sweet, truly enjoyed the ones here! We had rum and raisin + hazelnut choc. My girl had honey comb + salted caramel. And yes teh cones are fragrant and crunchy too! So glad we had this to finish off our trip of Harlech Castle!

Absolutely amazing icecream and sorbets. Didn’t get to try the chocolate or the fudge so need to go back.

I had the Passionfruit Sorbet and it was possibly the best sorbet I’ve ever had.

The ice cream from here is amazing! Really good quality and a good choice of flavours to choose from, including flavours not normally found in other parlours.
