Buttermilk Artisan Confectionery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Absolutely brilliant. The fudge is to die for. It was so good we went back for some more before we left Port Isaac. The owner was lovely and chatted about his shop, the village and the area being filmed for the TV series Doc Martin. He actually made our day more enjoyable in what was already an amazing day.

I understand that not all shops allow dogs in ....but the attitude of the person in the shop was shocking ....rude, and no I am sorry but dogs are not allowed, its a wonder more people don't complain about bad manners, in shop's ...but this was a really bad experience, no excuses, and they lost a lot of money because this person was in a group of 10 ......shame .....well if they can afford to lose the business ......

The ice cream and fudge is absolutely delicious. Run and raisin that you can actually taste the rum. Vanilla that was probably the nicest ice cream I’ve ever had.

Extremely welcoming staff who are serving without a doubt the best ice cream in Cornwall. Reasonably priced and very generous portion! Loved that we were warned a number of times to be careful of the seagulls, VERY TRUE! You have been warned. We were safe but did see some unhappy people losing their ice cream to seagulls who clearly think its the best ice cream too!!!!

Wanted to visit the shop as on the TV programme Doc Martin. Bought a souvenir and a Millionaire’s shortbread Icecream, this was the best

Massive portions! Massive portions!!! Bought two ice creams for my kids, the scoops were BIG!!! Ice cream was v tasty but we did have to queue for 45 mins as only two bubbles allowed in the shop at any one time. But it’s definitely worth the wait!

Absolutely gorgeous ice cream.2 of us had rum&raisin,1 had millionaire shortbread&the other a 99.The best tasting ice cream I've had in a long time.Thoroughly reccomend it

I love clotted cream fudge and I believe that they had five different kinds, including some freshly made at their kitchen. If you can't find it when you come, they may have changed the exterior to the pharmacy of the Doc Martin set. Worth seeking out!

Yummy Fudge in loads of different flavours, the lady on the counter was lovely and so friendly. The location for the pharmacy in Doc Martin!

Visited here late afternoon last Sunday as passing through and as shop open we took a look inside, lovely presentation and in such a beautiful setting. Fudge counter was very inviting and we purchased two flavours, oh my! Such fantastic fudge!! would have been nice to have had a smile from behind the counter.

Really good quality ice cream and friendly staff. A perfect stop before attempting the steep coastal path! The shop is beautifully old-fashioned and has the quirky pharmacy window displays from Doc Martin (which we only realised afterwards, not being fans of the show!).

We had a couple of scoops each yesterday, huge scoops! The flavours were amazing!! We went for salted caramel & millionaires shortbread! Would recommend getting a sweet treat from here!

Visited Port Isaac mid July whilst recording of Doc Martin was taking place ... this place had the name of "Portwenn Chemist" over the windows and really interesting window display. Manager was attentive and checked suitability for special dietry needs. The ice cream was delightful, two scoops overfilled the pots, flavours real and tasty, took some fudge to the office and was enjoyed by all!

lovely mouth watering treats but a little too expensive. I think I just bought some postcards instead. Seems odd not being that lovely green shade!

Whilst visiting port isaac we stopped here and indulged in some delicious ice cream. Caramel sea salt Highly recommend. The owner was very friendly, so much so we revisited the following day to buy more ice cream and fudge.

always fun to stop in when I visit to get a sweet treat and there’s a local artist who writes children’s books and is new and was out to purchase there too.

This little place does the most amazing fudge and ice cream. Friendly and quaint little place with lots of souvenirs to buy for friends and family.

Haven’t tasted such nice ice cream for a long time. The salted caramel is absolutely delicious......

The young man that was working was very kind and we were able to sample their delicious fudge! I loved the Irish Cream fudge and wish I would have bought more!

Many flavour choices and cones. Generous serves. Delicious tastes. Lovely gifts available and all inside Mrs Tishell’s Chemist Shop.

had a fantastic experience , buying home made ice-cream and chocolates and also gin from buttermilk in port Isaac really friendly couple who work in the shop and very good on local knowledge

The fudge is to die for. Mrs Tishells shop is a bonus if Doc Martin fans. Friendly service and you can buy as much or as little fudge as the budget can afford. So many varieties!

Our family love this shop for fudge ( especially the salted caramel and mince pie flavours), ice cream and small gifts. Staff charming. It's also a great place to watch the filming of Doc Martin too.

On a weekend in Port Isaac we paid a visit to “the chemist” aka Buttermilk. The friendliest of welcomes from Dave who let us peruse his shop with our little dog in tow. If you love Fudge you’ll love this shop. No hard sell just genuinely lovely people. We spoke at length to Dave and his lovely wife about Port Isaac the Doc Martin programme They loved our little pooch too - Dave get a cavachon you won’t regret it. A lovely shop with lovely people running it and the fudge is AMAZING.

As others have mentioned-I went in simply because this is the pharmacy in Doc Martin. But then chatted with the most lovely folks who completely understand the connection, and are not pushing you to buy something. Which I, of course, did. Lovely Cornish products and fudge. And was glad I’d bought here when I got back to where I was staying (up the coast) and the tea I had bought was 2 pounds more in my town! So-prices in Buttermilk are reasonable. I don’t usually review a place I visited briefly- this store, and the lovely staff, were that memorable. Thanks ladies!! (I should add, everyone in Port Isaac was friendly-such a fun visit that makes me want to return and stay.)

This shop becomes the Mrs. Tishells pharmacy when filming Doc Martin. That drew us in, however they had a great selection of fudge as well as some souvenirs.

Very sweet sweet shop plus classy souvenirs. Very friendly staff and exciting to hear about the Doc Martin connection. Def worth a visit.

Went there almost everyday for candy and bottle s beer. Loved the Millionaire Shortbread Ice Cream too.

Yes this is Mrs Tishell’s chemist and it is a sweet shop! Worth a look around and to buy an ice cream!

We wanted to visit Mrs Tishals chemist well ice cream parlour. Lovely treats also I bought biscuits, rock, fudge for presents and we all had an ice cream. Delicious but watch out for the seagulls, as we saw many pinched from people.

If you’re coming to Port Isaac, make sure you pay a visit to this ice cream parlour. He ice cream is gorgeous (the waffle cones in particular are yummy!) just be careful when you leave as the ice cream is so good the seagulls are waiting to mug you haha! Enjoy lovely port Isaac and this little shop, which doubles as the pharmacy in Doc Martin.

Really great choices and variety of sweet things on offer at this gem of a place. Definitely worth a visit with your family. Lots of unique nik naks to browse and buy.

Great ice cream, excellent fudge, and Mrs Tishell memorabilia! Also lots of other well selected local items. The second pharmacy location in the TV series Doc Martin, a must visit for fans.

This is a very good little shop selling all sorts from packets of Cornish Tea to loose chocolates. They also stock some locally made craft bits. This little shop some may recognise as Mrs Tishells Chemist in the TV series Doc Martin. The staff in the shop are friendly and chatty.

Clotted-Cream Ice cream -- what more can I say besides YUMMMM! Its a really nice place to pop in, grab something sweet, and pop back out on your Pt. Isaac ramble. :)

Really wonderful ice creams - great flavours and very creamy. There is also an astounding selection of fudges. Huge variety of flavours. Worth a visit

The CEO has stated , with no dissenters allowed, that Buttermilk make the best fudge and she's eaten this company's fudge for many years, unable to resist the chocolate coated ginger fudge and the chocolate honeycomb.

this is Mrs. Tishell's pharmacy in the show Doc Martin. Before the filming crew took it over, you could go inside and stry some of the best fudge ever. The folks that work in the shop are super nice and friendly. Will go there again.

We stopped as we wanted to see "Mrs Tissels shop" and we were not dissapointed with the selection of fudge displayed there. Cornish biscuits were also for sale

Haven't tried the fudge from here as I'm a massive Rolys fan and I don't bother with any other fudge so this is a review purely on the icecream. Amazing! Had a double scoop in a waffle cone and can highly recommend the caramel with sea salt along with the millionaire shortbread icecream. Perfect flavour and the texture was just heavenly!

the fudge is amazing in choice and taste the range of foods was good for gifts the girl running it was really nice and friendly

Stopped to have a look at the Pharmacy from the TV show and was pleasantly surprised to find that it sold great ice cream (which a local gull promptly stole) and a useful map of the TV locations. Friendly staff who had time for everyone. Great photos of the cast from the show in the shop as well as that famous neck brace. Good fun and not expensive.

We stopped in here during our recent visit to Port Isaac for a few treats (and to view Mrs Tishell's Pharmacy) The confectionary is delightful - very tasty!!!! The owner was very friendly and even allowed me to put Mrs Tishells's neck brace on!!!!

Delicious handmade fudge in several varieties. Ice Cream is also available plus some gifts in this lovely shop.

Delicious fudge. Everyone in the office was very happy when I took a box in. Lots of different flavours to choose from. The shop is in the heart of the village.

well it would of been naughty not to, but also as it is the chemist in the TV series so had to look around and speak to the girls how they manage to change the shop around for the filming, just loved the whole place

Nice little ice-cream shop which doubles as Mrs Tishell's Chemist on occasions (when the Doc Martins TV series is being shot in town).

This is amazing shop and also a attraction. It is the pharmacy on doc Martian. We have also been to the one in Padstow and this one was better and bigger.

This shop had the best ice cream in town according to my 10 year old (who tried them all). A wonderful selection of sweets and really good fudge

Every single piece of fudge I bought was amazing, food for smooth fudge, had some crumbly too but overall totally amazing and bad for your health!

This pleasant little shop sells delicious fudge. I prefer the 'crumbly' type and this manufacturer takes the unusual step of labelling their various fudge lines as 'crumbly' or 'soft' which is very helpful - there's nothing so disappointing than hopefully biting into a cube of fudge only to have it squish between your teeth!

Visited this little ice-cream parlour, last Friday, glorious ice-cream, and bought a lovely silver star-fish necklace as a treat.

Visited your Padstow shop and tasted your yummy fudge sundae,and then purchased some more from your port Isaac store also. Delicious

This lovely shop is famous for its appearance in a certain medical comedy but what lies inside is much more worthy of awards.

Had a round of ice cream, including one for the dog.Lots of flavours to choose from, really creamy and delicious. Lots of goody gift ideas in the shop and amazing array of fudge. Lovely staff giving a warm friendly atmosphere.

What a delightful shop with a large variety of fudge! The clotted cream fudge is delicious and helpful staff too. they also carry wonderful handmade soaps. thank you Peter for being so helpful.

My wife and I visited here whilst in Port Isaac in March (2017). This is a lovely little shop. The fudge is really good and it has got a lot of nice souvenirs to pick up as well.

What a treat to go into 'the' chemist shop as seen on Doc Martin and leave with Artisan locally made fudge. Much more than a fudge shop - it was like a chocolatier of the fudge world. If you like this sweet treat then a visit here is a must!

Great little shop. Love the photos of the cast of Doc Martin. Very reasonably priced. Picked up a bag of pescription fudge for my mum as she's a fan of the show.

Been buying fudge from here for over 10 years and if it stays this good, I don't see us going anywhere else. The Cornish clotted cream tablet is a particularly naughty treat and from experience has to be eaten fresh to be at its best; oh, the shame!

On the basis we have been here four times over the last week, yes we like the fudge. It's also a good place to buy goodies for family and friends when you go home after your holiday.

The proprietor, Becky, is delightful, and the fudge and ice cream are outstanding. Although I liked everything we tried, the sea salt caramel dark chocolate fudge was outstanding. However, it was Becky's smiling face and lovely attitude that had us returning time and again. Stop by if you are a Doc Marten fan, but don't forgo the fudge when you do.

This is a lovely fudge shop with oodles of choice. The fudge starts at £1.85 per 100 grams and tastes really good. This shop changes into Port Wen Chemist when filming for Doc Martin takes place. There is no warning when this happens, so buy your fudge when you see the shop open.

We are here on vacation and went into the shop. The lady who runs the place is so kind and sweet. We chatted for a long while. Just enjoyed being there and the candy and sweets are excellent! Do visit there...you won't be sorry! It is a candy/sweet shop that also sells lovely gifts/cards etc.

My husband and I visited the area the last weekend of March. We visited Port Isaac as we are Doc Martin fans and wanted to see the sights. We were looking for little presents to take back so we went in. There are lots of lovely gift ideas here and the fudge is absolutely delicious!! We had the millionaire shortbread one, the chocolate dream (which was our favourite) and the white chocolate and raspberry one. The member of staff there was really friendly and we ended up chatting for ages! Would definitely go back!

A great busy confectionary and ice cream parlour that also sells knick knacks also sells small touristy gifts.

if you like fudge and ice cream this is the place to go. I can recommend the salted caramel fudge. The lady in the shop was very friendly and confirmed that the film crew was due back in to film more Doc Martin

Yum, yum. Great candy here. Mrs Twitchell is not here except when filming Doc Martin. The only location where they actually film inside. The rest of the interiors are shot in a barn not too far away. Very friendly staff and more than willing to share their filming stories whi I enjoy you sample their fudge.

Visited the shop as part of our Doc Martin weekend. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Bought some sea salt fudge as well as the more traditional and both were delicious. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely little shop of which the manager is very proud, she was very helpful and explained to our anorak friends about Doc Martins Chemist and his house up the street

We stopped in for some sweets and were gretted by a very kind young lady who answered all of our inquiries about the village and seemed genuinely interested in talking with us. How rare is that in this day and time! I encourage you to stop by during your visit if for nothing else but a kind smile and welcoming voice!

Great Ice Cream and Port Isaac memorabilia in the Doc's Pharmacy. No, Mrs, Tishel is not there when the film crew is in town..but the rest of the time it is a quaint snack shop and a must visit when in Port Isaac!! You cannot miss this place...it is across the street fro all the main sights of Town and the TV Series!! Perfect for a quick chat and a great, tasty treat!!

Lovely little chocolate shop with ice cream. A lovely warm day so treated myself to an ice cream. Cornish Vanilla ice cream was delicious.

A lovely sweet shop, or should I say The Parmacy! Bought a few presents and a mug with Doc Martins Surgery on! Very friendly ladies served me!

Not only is this an architecturally interesting seaside building, they have a nice variety of ice cream, too. There are other offerings (candy, souvenirs) as well.

This shop offers lovely fudge and ice creams. My friend, who had eaten her way through the gelatos of dubrovnik, delclared this to be the best ice cream sh had tasted. Very friendly staff and a location in doc martin. (i think its the pharmacy in the show)

A perfect place to stop for a sweet treat when visiting the beautiful Port Isaac. Definitely recommend

Lovely fudge we went back a couple of times and great ice cream and bought presents for family and friends too

No doubt the fact that this building features in the Doc Martin series will draw many customers. Personally, as I have no interest in the programme I simply went in to see what sort of sweet shop it is.

this is the pharmacy in the t.v series Doc Martin ,what a delightful little shop ,selling a selection of homemade fudge as well as a range of other gifts ,my daughter was always in here buying fudge and I have to say not very expensive either

Expensive but wide selection of fudges, ice creams and other confectionary. It is well known for being the pharmacy in Doc Martin. There is in fact no pharmacy in Port Isaac so if you get tooth ache from the fudge a trip to Wadebridge is required.

Immediately recognisable as the pharmacy from the TV series 'Doc Martin', this shop sells delicious home-made fudge, tasty ice-cream and assorted souvenirs.

Lovely little shop selling home made fudges all sorts of flavours. Sells other little gifts as well plus the Cornish ice cream.

Yummy ice creams, lovely staff and the only fudge I have ever actually enjoyed!!! I actually bought some on leaving Port Isaac - if you go here be sure to try the dark chocolate coated salted caramel - to die for!!!

Is this what Brexit has done to the Cornish Fudge industry? Have been going to port Isaac for many years and although the fudge shop is lovely its prices just continue to increase... We now think before we buy. Could you sell more if you decreased the price? However the Cornish butter tablet and salted caramel fudge are incredible!
