Baboo Gelato Ltd in West Dorset

Lovely, knowledgeable staff and tasty ice cream. Recommended prepacked tub for coeliac as no chance of cross contamination. Our dogs really enjoyed the doggie ice cream too!

The best gelato in Dorset (and my favourite in the UK). The hazelnut gelato and the peanut & choc are particular favourites of mine. The staff are always lovely at this location & the others, and the owners are wonderful too. All ingredients are of a premium quality, with many locally sourced. I don’t eat any other ice cream when I’m in the area!

Incredible gelato! Salted caramel was great.

Nice place for a good old cup of tea!! Excellent service and atmosphere

Baboo was open so we decided to buy some ice creams. So many flavours to choose from. The lady was very friendly and helpful.

Delicious gelato with big scoops and good value - similar to other ice cream shops in the area but much better ice cream. Also tried the croffle which was amazing with very generous ice cream and cream. Definitely recommend

Had a lovely ice cream. Not wildly cheap, but very very good.

My dog loved the doggy ice-cream

Always delicious. Maple and walnut is to die for!

Although a little more than we would normally want to pay, the ice creams here were delicious! And a single cone really was quite a large size compared to some places we’ve been. Staff were efficient and friendly, and there’s a loyalty card scheme too. Highly recommended.

Amazing gelato particularly the double chocolate. You really must try it. Wish they had it in East Sussex we would be regular customers!!

Amazing gelato, lovely flavours and brilliant texture. A must when visiting Dorset!

The cups have gone smaller and there is no lid I almost spilled it in my car

The best chocolate ice cream in all the lands

Some of the best ice-cream in the south west. Definitely worth a visit

Great spot to end our walk first time in Weymout. Great Ice cream lots of flavours to choose from. Staff not too busy to talk and spend a few moments with us. Must visit again soon.

High quality gelato style ice cream that really tastes great.

Amazing ice cream. Just delicious. Generous portions, £3.50 a scoop so not cheap but it was more than worth it. Do stop if you are passing.

Great spot and good menu. Loved the ice cream flavours and that the iced coffees use the ice cream and expresso mix which is quite unique. Will be back when we fancy sitting on the beack watching the world go by. Much better place than some of the other older places on the Promenade. Oh and they love dogs too. Only criticism is maybe a more regular wipe of tables would go down well.

Glorious locally produced ice cream and sorbets, impeccable service.

Yummy ice-creams with natural flavours. Loved the rhubarb and salted caramel

Amazing homemade gelato! The service was wonderful & the salted caramel is possibly the best I’ve ever had

Made my Birthday special with a free ice cream and such a friendly pleasant young man who was so happy and cheerful.

We started at Weymouth, then Lyme Regis and West Bay.... Glorious flavours, texture and cone, enough flavours for variety, waffle cones and tubs. They even have doggy ice cream!!! Our pup prefers a cone of her own... Staff very friendly and accommodating. Made for proper seaside eating!

Beautiful ice cream and milkshakes in a lovely spot on the prom. Highly recommend. Five stars. Added to a great day out.

As a celiac, was delighted to find gluten free cones available and staff knowledgeable about cross contamination. Friendly team and ice cream is made more the Italian way than British which for our family is excellent. Thoroughly recommended. Quite feasible to have three times in a day.

Amazing ice cream and lovely staff! If you're around - or not - it's well worth a visit!!

What can I say other than best gelato and sorbet ever. Can’t go wrong! Even good ice coffee and milkshakes.

We are staying in Bridport on holiday and came down to West Bay for ice cream not long after we arrived on Saturday. Not only is the gelato delicious and smooth but the staff were really lovely and friendly too. We had Madagascan vanilla, Chocolate and salted caramel between us. I’ve never seen our boys eat ice cream so fast. All ice cream will be compared to this!

Lovely gelato and great service, a limited choice of flavours but high quality. Shame we got soaking wet eating it but didn't spoil the enjoyment of the gelato

Our go to place here or in Lyme Regis for ice cream. It doesn’t get much better than this. Good mix of flavours. They don’t skimp on the portions. And friendly staff. Worth the queue.

Awesome flavours and generous portions.

Thank goodness this little gelato kiosk is not near home. I’m not sure how I’d be able to resist their wonderful product and such friendly servers - it wouldn’t do my diet any good at all! Their vanilla even won over my wife, who always prefers a whippy ice cream.

Lovely ice cream, super creamy. The young girl serving had excellent customer service, very friendly, offered a little taster before purchasing. Highly recommend.

Great coffee and amazing ice cream!!!! Good service 😁😁

Lovely ice cream but the area manager James has a stinking attitude and does the brand no good at all. Luckily he isn't in the kiosk very often now on our weekly visits down the bay

Fab gelato, but beware of the swooping seagulls. I was happily enjoying my cone when a seagull swooped down and stole it. We were walking back to get a replacement when seagulls attacked again and stole my husbands cone! The kind lady who served us saw what happened and kindly gave us another serving.

Excellent local produce, friendly service and (bonus) nice weather - what more could you expect of an ice cream kiosk? We were very impressed - top marks!

Fab little shack selling the most delicious locally made ice cream made with local ingredients. Brown sugar gelato is a must try!

Great little kiosk, lovely lady that works there, was perfect because they catered for my little boy with allergies as well as doing normal food. We loved it so much we went back the next day

I'm a confirmed gelato/ice cream hound. Some people going to a new town or city look for a pub or restaurant, me, it's a gelateria or ice cream parlour. So who'd have thought having tried gelato all over the U.K. & Europe, especially in Italy, that I'd find near to my wife's home town of Bridport, the BEST gelato I've ever tasted! Not only that but the friendliest of 'Scoopers' let me and my family, 'try before you buy' and explained that there are only natural ingredients in all their products. Gelato heaven. Love & Respect ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Kirsty welcomed us to Baboo Gelato upon making eye contact (which wasn’t easy, because your Perspex screen only reflects the sun back at customers - if there’s is a danger that warrants Perspex screens then ice cream businesses should not be trading at all). Despite...

Great little place. However I did fall foul of the "card only" payment system there. Just a heads up and not a criticism though. 😊

Absolutely delicious! Incredible gelato and excellent service. The guy serving was lovely and dealt with our group brilliantly.

We ordered lattes and the coffee was really delicious, perfect temperature too, not burnt. (Kids enjoyed their double-chocolate gelato, too!)

Really lovely coffee, the member of staff who served me was very helpful and friendly. Definitely will get my coffee here next time I’m at west bay .

On going to Baboo for coffee and ice creams all summer I have to say this is the best. I have the salted caramel ice cream and latte and I have to say it is the best. The staff there are so so nice and...

Ordered far too many milkshakes from here during our visit to West Bay. Delicious and plenty of choice, great service too!

Great flavours of ice cream. Blackcurrant ripple and maple & walnut went down an absolute treat.

Lovely flavours and served at just the right temperature ! The best ice cream that we had while we were in West Bay !!!

Best ice-cream in the world 🍦😋🍦😋🍦

Found this ice cream at a small place in Spetisbury in Dorst. I then visited the place a number of times and tried quite a few flavours. Well I have now found 2 other places that serve this wonderful product. Weymouth beach and West Bay....

Visited here and the ice cream was fantastic not many flavours but the flavours we tried were great Keep up the good work.

Found this gem of a cafe whilst searching for dairy free ice cream. Two flavours were in offer: vegan straciacelli and honey berry sorbet - both of which were delicious. Partner had honeycomb ice cream and mint choc chip and also said it was great.

Great variety of gelato flavours, hot drinks and warm treats and excellent prices!

Ice cream is soooo good here. The girls were friendly chatty and down to earth. Other half had a coffee which he said was nice enough lol

Hard to resist, simply delicious and a large choice from a small site. Right opposite the harbour but never too long to wait to be served visit West Bay and treat yourself

Tasty ice cream. ESP Maple & Walnut but the cones aren’t particularly nice.

Delicious ice cream, coffles and drinks. Staff were fantastic but the best thing about this beach kiosk is the artisan local ice cream I’f your on the area I would highly recommend it

The best vegan ice cream I've ever had! I tried the hazelnut and passion fruit flavours and boy oh boy were they tasty!

This gelato was probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had! We came back two days in a row as it was so delicious. The two scoop cone was my particular favourite: double chocolate and hazelnut combination was absolutely delightful and highly recommend all the visit. Very complimentary to watching the sunset.

One of the best gelato ice creams we've enjoyed outside of Italy. Delicious! Their wafer cones are good too. ... Although the one on Weymouth beach gave us bigger scoops ;-)

Really, really nice icecream - only about 8 flavours but all are done really well. They also do good coffee. Staff really nice and helpful - all good

Great ice cream lots of flavours just watch out for the seagulls who stole mine write out iof my hand

Visited today and decided to try the double chocolate and honeycomb ice creams. Both were absolutely delicious. The two members of staff working today were really friendly and bubbly. Next time I visit I’m going to try the croffle which sounds intriguing but I think...

Has to be one of the best ice creams I have ever tasted. Salted Caramel in a tub for me and salted caramel in a cone for hubby. Worth every penny.

Friendly staff and GORGEOUS<3 vegan milkshakes! ☺️

If you're a chocoholic like me, you'll adore their Double Chocolate gelato. Lovely ice cream, lovely staff, what more could you want? :)

Best ice cream and millshakes in Lyme Regis! Couldn’t stop going back for more🙈 right on the beach and friendly staff. Would recommend

Best gelato and great array of flavours. Croffles.. affogato and little Italian pastries. Real gem of a place.

Stayed in west bay for a long weekend and we ended up at baboo most days, great local Ice cream and friendly helpful staff. Thank you, we will return

Amazing ice cream with reach and delicious flavours. Vegan chocolate was superb 😋

If you haven't yet tried Baboo, you're in for a real treat. The quality is amazing and the ingredients so good - look up their website for more details. It's one of the highlights of our visits to West Dorset.

No matter how wet and windy you always need an ice-cream at the seaside, the brown sugar ice-cream felt almost like a dessert - delicious. Plenty of hot options for autumnal days too.

Unfortunately the kiosk at West Bay was closed when we arrived, however, we could not believe our luck when Rise (restaurant few meters away) served up Baboo on its dessert menu. Honey comb & double chocolate ice cream absolutely gorgeous. And the fruit sorbets some...

Lots of choice, need to pay by card only at present, the server was a little brusque but place clean and tidy.

I always like to try local ice creams when visiting the seaside rather than the same old stuff you can get anywhere, so this little shack caught my eye. During my recent visit to West Bay, I tried three flavours - chocolate, salted caramel and...

The hazelnut ice cream was simply the best I've tasted. Maple and walnut was also extremely good but a bit sweet. So so much better than Mr Whippy. If you want a great ice cream try Baboo.

Lots of wonderful flavours especially salted caramel, can definitely recommend. Will be back very soon.

Baboo's reputation is quite high, so anticipation matches it (visited a couple years ago, so felt it a safe bet). If anything, even better than I remembered. Highly recommend the Maple & Walnut. And the Damson Ripple. And they make great coffee as well.

During an evening stroll around the bay I decide to partake in a salted caramel cone. It was fabulous. I’ve missed Baboo ice cream during the pandemic as I’ve kept away from the bay during the holiday season so I thoroughly enjoyed my first this...

Delicious Ice cream, good prices and staff were very friendly. Food service. Our Cockerpoo absolutely loved the doggy ice cream!

Here we go: another five star review. But it's worth adding these stars because the ice creams are exceptionally good and delicious. The reference in the title of this review to the level of service reflects our dithering over the choice of flavours and asking...

Best gelato I've ever had. You won't be disappointed! Brown sugar, Damson Ripple, plumb sorbet and honeyberry were all 5* ratings

Fantastic ice cream! The salted caramel and peanut chocolate are brill - very highly recommended. :-) Very friendly service, even on busy hot days.

Absolutely the best Gelato in England and I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream. Delicious flavours but the Maple & Walnut is the best !

This has to be the best place to come for an ice cream in West Bay. The flavours are not your usual run of the mill ones. Peanut and choc was simply divine!!

Delicious range of superb ice cream and a destination for us after we’ve sat on the harbour wall eating fish and chips. We slurped our way through Madagascan Vanilla and Maple Syrup with Walnut. Yummo! Back for more soon.

If you were to buy any ice cream in West Bay or Bridport, stop here. The flavours available are constantly changing and the gelato is delicious, even the cones I find are just the best. Look out for them as you visit West Dorset, they are always a treat.

We stopped for ice cream on an evening walk twice. Fabulous. We recommend hazelnut, salted caramel and banana choc.

Don’t bother with any other ice cream outlets in Weymouth. The range of flavours, quality of ice cream and sheer portion sizes at Baboo are second to none! I adored their mint choc chip, my all time favourite did not disappoint.

Great gelato! Double chocolate and maple pecan were both delicious and such a nice creamy texture.

We fed all our family on this great ice cream. Very creamy and tasty the perfect way to enjoy West Bay Harbour

Very yummy gelato. Amazing texture and flavour! Love coming back to this place! £2 per scoop but very generous portion size! Highly recommended, we keep returning.

I had a scoop of the maple and walnut as we just had to try this ice cream out! Sadly a seagull dive bombed me and stole the ice cream clean out of my cone! What I had of it I thoroughly enjoyed and my family enjoyed their salted caramel and mint choc chip :0) All Covid-19 safety precautions in place and would revisit.

We came to Babboo Gelato for a quick ice cream stop. The ice cream was better than any ice cream I had tasted before. There was no artificial colouring in the ice cream which made it better. Highly recommend for anybody wanting to have a quick ice cream.

Salted Caramel and Walnut and Maple Syrup cones after a fish and chip dinner sat on the benches overlooking the port. This is becoming a naughty habit as we live around the corner. Stunning Ice Cream!

I know things are tough for small businesses at the moment but the chap taking the orders and the money could have tried a bit harder to be pleasant. The ice cream was lovely but I will buy else where another time just because I didn’t feel my custom was important to them. If the present situation continues people who are only a few miles away will become more important than tourists from away.

Fantastic flavours, lots to choose from, reasonably priced, and generous helpings. I had salted caramel and strawberry in a cone. we all had one and were very pleased at the quality.

What more could you want than delicious ice cream beside the sea, and here Baboo is well located for us to wander around the harbour or sit and watch the world go by as we enjoy the ice cream or sorbet, all are really special. I have enjoyed their yummy flavours from various places, not only from this kiosk. You can taste the quality of ingredients. 100% recommend!
