Literally love this place. Brilliant for kids. We came after a walk in Forest Front Nature reserve which we also highly recommend.

The most expensive I’ve cream ever ! Two Scoops Of ice cream in a tub £9 !!! Staff have zero personality. No smile. No greeting. No hello , good bye. Thanks for coming. No smiles for the kids. Like they don’t even want to be there. Never will return again

This is a great place for coffee and ice-cream but if you want to go when it is less busy, you are best to go during school hours when it is quieter.

Exvellent sundae especially eton mess. Coffee in my opinion is measured by arrosto as no other coffee from other extremely well known brands dont even come close excellent friendly staff relaxed surroundings. A gem of a place in new forest

Spotlessly clean cafe, right on edge of the New Forest, Too many flavours of ice cream with some seriously tasty waffles. Been a number of times and doesn't disappoint, taste is best in New Forest with a fun atmosphere in cafe.

It is law to wear a mask and one of the Three staff members wore hers under her chin ! We were there half an hour and it never got worn correctly even when dishing up our ice creams. We even saw her put her cigarette on the counter Not for me. We won’t be returning

We went here on 21st September for a family birthday treat for an 8 year old. We hadn’t prebookef but a lovely lady called Jeni managed to squeeze us in and her customer service was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble, she was friendly but efficient, in fact we were so impressed we have booked to go again. I would definitely recommend this lovely local little Icecream parlour.

We visited today for the second time & it was still as good. 😁 My son has the crepe & says its the best ever!! He did let me try a bit & it was delicious. My daughter had an ice cream. Lots of choice on the menu ice cream, crepe, waffles etc... . Loads of ice cream flavours to choose from so difficult to decide 😁 A busy place, clean & friendly staff. Will definitely be back 😁

Not only have their portions shrunk for the price they charge but today the service was not there. Got my grandson an Ice cream in a tub one scoop and a latte for myself, the Ice cream one scoop was small and flat, I asked for a quarter shot latte which is half of one shot so very weak. The glass was filled with an inch of froth and it tasted sweet and yuck. I go in there quite often so I know what it’s been like in the past. The lady behind me commented how miserable the assistant was and today she was right. I was so tired I just could not be bothered today. I left the whole of the coffee, the girls saw me leaving without drinking it but were not interested to find out why. Not impressed today guys wasted approximately £6.60 something.

We parked parked on the road side ( alternatively free in Tesco’s Express opposite) then sat with the dog outside.There was a large choice of ice cream, but some with bright blue colouring which we learn from our last visit not to buy as my young grand daughters want too wild.Younger staff were more friendly than the older ( manager?) which was rather off putting and not welcoming.A range of sizes and cones or tubs.Inside seating is American styled tall red plastic covered booths .The traffic and the busy street was off putting so we only stayed whilst eating the ice creams.Prefer the friendlier community of nearby Hythe by Southampton Water and it’s lovely historic pier and train.

new girl is lovely, staff are good and exciting. manager is awfully rude and when asking children to not stand on chairs is scary rather than the others who are more understanding and say it more kindly. make all ice cream there so take our requests for flavours and make them as soon as possible! very good place and are extremely good with dietary restrictions.

Nice ice cream and a good selection but this place is let down by the current staff and owner.They are so miserable and unfriendly. The coffee was terrible and was sent back and shouldn't be served at 200 degrees, filled to the brim with the coffee spilt all over the tray. Room for improvement!

After reading a review about explicit videos and the F word, my partner and I thought we would "give it a go". Anyway, we didn't know any of the videos as we are over 50, but what we did have was two lovely Ice Creams (Tim, Key Lime and Salted Caramel for me). We didn't learn any new swear words and they were very good value and the staff were very lovely.

I like having a local 'ice cream parlour' ...£8+ for a black coffee & banana split is a bit expensive given that it is an ordinary cafe - banana split is well presented though so that's good! Gelato is tasty, crepes are a good size...maybe a coffee & icecream deal or coffee loyalty card would entice me to go there more often - children are welcome & hand wipes provided

As our daughter had been unable to go with her friends to Sprinkles in Bournemouth on Thursday night due to falling down and breaking her foot we decided to bring her here on Saturday afternoon.It was very clean and there was plenty of seating. The choice is really good but in the end we chose three different types of waffle.They were all served promptly and piping hot!All in all a very enjoyable break in our day on a cold and rainy Saturday!

Took my children and met some friends. Good service, friendly staff. Drinks came quickly and were hot. Kids ice creams came quickly but toasted sandwiches took ages and kids got bored with waiting. Take something to entertain your kids if you order these or waffles. Good selection and clean cafe. Def visit again. Love the caramel lattes.

We went there for a child's birthday and they made it really quite special, balloons nice big booth with extended tables to fit more people. Also as they are little children they offered smaller portions so as not to make them unwell with lots of lovely ice cream. The selection of gelato was really good and the types of food and drink associated with it were good. Well worth a visit and well worth your patronage.

Like Willy Wonka's place but for ice cream instead! So many ices and soo many lurid colours. I go in for a sedate coffee as they seem to have decided against the paninis that they advertised at first. Great to read my paper or chat with a friend and hear the excited squeals of the pickles trying to decide on their ice cream. If you only take them once even....do it1

They have a really good selection of ice creams which you can have on their own or in Sundaes etc. They make waffles and Crepes, smoothies , and a good variety of hot drinks too.I had a 3 scoop sundae and chose my flavours. It comes with wafers etc. As ice cream makes you thirsty I also had a summer fruits smoothie.Grief I was so so full up. Must reduce what have next time.The place itself is really clean and looks new (it is) each table has a packet of wet wipes on them which is a good touch. There is a table in its on little room tooThere are a couple of tables outside.There is a TV which I beehive was showing music videos but the music being played didn’t seem to relate to the video. To be honest I don’t think anyone was bothered about this and it isn’t needed in a place like this.Yes I know it doesn’t sell as many ices etc as ‘Sprinkles’ in Southampton, but we are not in Southampton this is Hythe so its great really great.It does make a nice cup of tea and coffee.

The lady who served me was not very friendly. This was my first visit here. I ordered food and was standing waiting for it, the server didn’t tell me until I’d been standing there for a while that she’d bring it over… when she did bring it over she gave me a knife to eat a sandwich? It was not a nice atmosphere, the servers behind the counter were smashing around emptying the dishwasher. Couldn’t hear myself think. Wouldn’t go back here.

My friends and I visited on a Sunday afternoon from out of town at a local’s recommendation. I loved the atmosphere - lots of plants, lots of seating. There weren’t many customers, so it wasn’t loud. We were hoping for afternoon tea, but sadly it is not available on Sundays. Some of us got the Sunday Roasts instead. More in our party (of 10) would have liked to try the Sunday Roast, but they only sold it to some of us due to limited staff & presumably limited ingredients. The rest ordered sandwiches. I’m sorry to say I was not impressed with the starter or main course (the meat, potatoes and vegetables were a bit dry), but I did enjoy the crème brûlée for dessert. Afterward, we visited a gin distillery around the corner. They allowed us samples, and I was impressed with the flavor and smoothness.

Possibly the worst sandwich I have ever tasted. I can only describe the bread as poor quality thin sliced white bread, the cheese could not be seen, there was a generous amount of caramelised jam! over priced at £6.50! The tea was reasonable. The cakes looked nice.

Visited today, staff very welcoming. Cooked breakfast was very good, love that you also get marmalade with 2 rounds of toast with it as well. They had other breakfast options on their specials board too. Good value for money. Would certainly visit again. Thankyou.
