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

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.

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.

Fab gelato, but beware of the swooping seagulls. I was happily enjoying my cone when a seagull swooped down and stole it.

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 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
