"We came here again when we were in Swanage as we were impressed that they did a gluten free Ice Crean Come. They still do it and it tastes great,I opted for the Vanilla flavour and it was delicious and one of the best Vanilla flavour Ice Creams I have ever had. This Ice Cream shop is not to be missed."

"Staff here are always friendly and serve everyone quickly. The selection of ice cream is excellent and it's good quality, and tastes amazing. I often grab a coffee here too or a smoothie. Always lovely and great to be so close by sea. So can go chill on the sand with my drink and watch the world go by. Or they have a couple of tables you can sit at if preferred."

"We've enjoyed the ice cream here on a couple of occasions. The taste is excellent—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. However, the portion sizes are a bit on the small side considering the price. Still, it's a great treat if you're in the area!"
