Ciccarelli in Northumberland

Just visited with my daughter and granddaughters for ice creams. Saturday 2.30pm. I’ve got the say the girls serving have absolutely no people skills, in fact I would say the girl actually serving us was rude! No customer see at all!

Four of us got 8 different ice creams today and they were all sublime. Service was also excellent plus they catered for gluten free. Excellent

Thank you so much for the Ice Cream you dropped off for Inaaya. She is still super excited. It's brilliant that you are supporting children's cancer north, thank you.

We had delicious ice creams here. The choice of flavours was incredible. It all looked so fresh. It was very difficult to choose but we opted for banana and pistachio flavours. Both were delicious. The banana flavour reminded me of an old fashioned banana milkshake ,😋. We will have to go back to try more flavours.

We only called for ice-cream, but it was delicious.

Sell dog ice cream in the takeout ice cream section but you can’t take a dog in to buy it? Not sure where the dog is meant to go? It’s a takeout counter?

Amazing hospitality and so well looked after by Dom and the team, a must visit if you are in Blyth. Incredible venue and location, spotlessly clean.

Ice creams are great value and all flavours are great

Ice cream is lovely here with a huge selection of flavours. Never tried the fish and chips. Unfortunately you can't take the dog in anymore, so won't be going back in a hurry.

So disappointing dogs are no longer allowed in the take out ice-cream section at Ciccarelli. There aren't enough dog friendly facilities at Blyth beach but there are so many dog walkers, you are missing a trick. My money will be spent at Breeze in future, the only cafe that allows dogs.

Very disappointed, after coming here for years with my dog, i was just told dogs are not allowed in anymore and i asked then how could i order if my dog can't be left outside alone and got no solution, so that's my weekend ice cream fix gone ☹️ not happy at all

The ice cream here is bloody unreal. If your passing by and need an excuse for ice cream. Get yourselves here. Amazing ice cream and the walk along the strand is lush.

Great place, lovely staff. Highly recommend

We visited with the whole family after fish & chips next door, and were not disappointed. Since we were last here it has expanded and there seem to be more flavours than ever! There seems to be a flavour to suit absolutely anybody, the staff are very friendly and helpful and they don’t scrimp on portions. I had a 3 scoop tub and had Vanilla, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and White Kinder Bueno and it was amazing! Always leave room for one of these after your fish & chips!

CLOSED at 4pm although it states open till 7pm on Sunday . It takes a few minutes to correct this on FACEBOOK.. I had quite a round trip from Durham only to be let down by these displayed times .

Only had coffe, butbgood atmosphere.

I went to the chip shop, absolutely beautiful chips. 10/10.

Lovely food and friendly helpful staff

We had a lovely ice cream, only problem not enough seating area outside!

The best ice-cream in the North East.

Our favourite Ice Cream Parlour

Recommended by a friend and I'm so glad they did. We stopped in this morning and enjoyed an absolutely delicious ice cream and great coffee.

Went in for coffe to meet friends ordered two cappuccinos after 40 minutes no coffe so went to the counter to be told they would not be long , after another 10 minutes we asked again and the staff had no idea that we had even ordered ! We asked for our money back and we did not even get an apology !! Only rude looks from the staff members ! Definitely wil not be returning there !! Staff have not got a clue 🤷‍♀️

Stopped for an ice cream with my wife while visiting the area. Absolutely delicious. The number of flavours available is huge.

I don’t mind paying over the odds for fish and chips, but when you order and you literally get….bottom of the batch chips and a handful off them, not good enough!!!! I ordered a chip butty, poorly cut bun, and a very small amount of sharp, dry, small pathetic looking chips…..nowhere near enough to use up my curry sauce If you order chips, give us a decent portion of chips!!!! Not happy!!!!!

First time at this lovely place and won't be the last. Amazing service which was prompt and the food was delicious. I'll certainly recommend to my family and friends.

Delicious ice cream 🍦 the strawberry flavour in a cone with chocolate and sprinkles went down very well

Went around 6.30 on a Friday evening- they close at 7pm. We were shown to a table in a very noisy part of the restaurant and we asked to move but the waitress, although polite, said it was impossible as they were closing down areas. The fish and chips were barely warm and clearly had been cooked a while ago. Batter was chewy- very disappointing

We go here every year on our holidays and it has the most amazing range of ice creams to choose from and they are absolutely delicious! Seating outside. Right next to the beach. Huge car park next to it that is free all day.

A great choice of flavours, and beautiful ice cream.

Used to be a great place to visit after a beach walk however having not been for a while I called in with my son for a coffee and Ice Cream. We got seated and left to wait for 20 mins before I eventually just got up and left. They served people that had just come in, I remained patient for a while but that was just terrible customer service. Unfortunately won’t be returning. I told the young man on the way out he said to go back and buy a complaint in but I wasn’t going to wait around any longer. Terrible service definitely not the standard it used to be. With a couple of new cafe/bars next door you would think they’d want to keep their customers

Ridiculously RUDE staff ordered kids meal no drink given half a cup of cappuccino for £3 been going here years never ever again the staff alone especially the lady that served me had zero customer service owner Franco please sort out your staff!!!!

Good location. Grabbed a coffee to sit on the beach with. Staff were friendly. Had a nice chat with one of them about their amazing choice of ice cream flavours that she sells but can’t enjoy as she’s lactose intolerant 🤦‍♂️ Coffee turned out to be OK but not the best

Lovely ice cream, we had mint chocolate and a milkybar, but the salted caramel cone was the winner. Only problem was the ice cream melted super quickly before we found a seat, wondered if the freezer was on high enough. Next time we would get it in a tub.

Good quality food but service not very friendly

Been coming here years but the service I got today was absolutely terrible!...yes I get it you get busy but don't take an order then carry on to serve about 12 people ice-cream and make me wait for 1 coffee and when I ask where my coffee is i was told rudley we also have a restaurant to run! So basically ice-cream comes before coffee 🤬

Best ice cream we’ve ever had! Delicious ice cream - I had the fudge brownie flavour and I can’t stop thinking about it! Massive portions and great with allergies (our daughter is gluten free!) 10/10 would highly recommend. Also you don’t know you’ve had good ice cream until you’ve tried it here - everywhere else pales in comparison! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best ice-cream around, milkshakes are epic and staff are very friendly. Always clean. People travel just to go for ice cream from this place.

Terrible service, staff stood round chatting while I waited over 10 mins for 2 flat white coffees. Looks nice but I’ll not go back, they now have competition there, so I’ll take my business to one of the other coffee shops.

Great coffees and a great range of ice cream.

I tried their mint choc chip gelato and it was some of the best I've ever had. I've been searching for one like it because I used to eat it as a child but no other brand- store brand or independent- hit the mark... until Ciccarelli's.

Absolutely delicious and so exciting for children when at the beach.

Fantastic service on every visit and quality products

Overpriced - £2.60 for one scoop! Plus extra charges for sprinkles and an extra 10p because I wanted mine in a tub yet not shown on the price board! Also ice creams aren't covered while staff are coughing around it, behind the counter. Yuk. I won't be buying again here anytime soon. The ice cream was nice but not worth the hyped prices ...

Unreal!! Expensive but worth every penny. Bounty flavour for me and wow ! Flavours available is huge and the kids portion just as huge. £5. 30 for the one in photo. 3 scoops on choccy cone.

Good quality food. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Definitely worth a visit to this very popular Blyth ice cream emporium, a massive amount of flavours to choose from as well as tubs and different types of cones...

This cafe is obviously famous for its ice creams but they serve the worst scones ever. I was offered the scone warmed and it came in a plastic bag which had clearly been heated in microwave so was soft and really heavy. Awful! Also although it is waitress service and food is brought to the table you still have to go and collect cutlery etc. Recommend they just focus on ices as food is not good at all.

Fantastic ice-cream, always worthy to come back.

So confusing on which door to use, I had to stand in 3 queues, I when to the queue I use before COVID, then stood in another to find once I was at the front the route to the cafe was blocked so had to go round to another queue. They get someone to clean a table but as we are waiting, but they clean a large table the a small one. I've arthritis in both knees and feet. They had one sign saying follow the one way system witch had long gone. Get some sign on your doors. Not even a toilet sign.

The best ice cream in the country. Hands down

Best ice cream I’ve ever eaten plus lovely service!

Whilst the ice cream was pleasant and good quality, the service left more than a lot to be desired. I went on a quiet Wednesday afternoon in which my small group were the only customers browsing the store, we felt incredibly rushed and pressured, like we were an inconvenience to the store worker; following this we also received the wrong order and overcharged. My experience here was appalling, very shocking in such a lovely area! Furthermore, I do not feel I could recommend this store to anyone despite the quality of goods! Please address this as soon as possible.

We are visiting the area. Just tried to visit with my daughter (who is autistic) and our dog. We approached a member of staff and asked how to place an order or view a menu - as we were unable to go in with the dog. He tried to show me the options through the window, and eventually passed me a menu and said I’d need to go in to order. We chose what we wanted and I told him again,I need some help, how can we order and pay as my daughter was unable to go in or be left with the dog. His response was “tie the dog up”. We had no choice but to leave. Really disappointed, and hungry!! Not impressed. Not expecting full table service, but when someone asks for help several times, help them out!!

Wow what a fabulous place. Staff were friendly and helpful. The place was clean and looked after. Ice cream was amazing and sitting outside on clean tables was appreciated, no litter no fag ends. Well done to the staff who obviously have pride in their work. We will be back next year .

Some of the best ice cream I ever had. Great friendly service. If you are in the area its a must.

Fabulous ice-cream with a great selection of flavours. Best ice cream I've tasted 😋😋

Really nice ice-cream lots of flavours to choose from at a decent price. The ice-cream shop is very clean with great friendly staff. My kids love the unicorn flavour ice-cream and always end up with more of it on themselves. Highly recommended this place for good quality ice-cream

It was realy expensive and awfull just over £10 for a kitkat and two hot drinks which where actually luke warm.

The vanilla is definitely award winning! Well done!

Italian style ice cream in many flavours. The place shouldn't be missed during hot days at the Blyth beach.

great ice cream and huge selection, busy place.

Iced coffee that's a joke it's like iced water no 1 coffee I don't thing so and at 3 40 a joke

Delicious ice cream as ever. Winners of the best vanilla ice cream 2022 but a huge variety of flavours are available.

My partner and I had a lovely tea and finished off with a ice-cream so many choices I had the bounty my partner had the Cherry he his asking about going back very soon.

It's a nice place on a nice beach and, most importantly, the tiramisu ice cream was awesome!

Popped here after having fish and chips next door. Range of ice cream was amazing. In our group we had scoops in tubs and in cones. A mixture of ice cream and sorbet. Just won best vanilla ice cream in UK and it’s well deserved. I had 3 scoops, rum and raisin (best one I’ve had as an adult), cherry (delicious) and Turkish delight (outstanding) Another place on your ‘Must visit’ list if you are in the area!!

Fish was canny but 11.50 for 5 fish bites and chips in comparison south shields 6.90 for 4 fish bites and chips .so rather expensive fish was nice but chips were cold

Ice cream that caught throat. I had experience to eat form here. Lot of flavours, busy and well managed. It was not expensive. The negative point was we all had soar throat after eaten from here, I do not why. We also felt less cream in it as compared to morwick dairy ice cream and wheelbirks. It is OK to eat in summer on the beach for just having charm of ice cream on a hot day.

Absolutely delicious ice cream. Tons of flavours to choose from too

Horrible coffee, milk was dry tasting like skimmed?

Love their ice cream.. We've been here twice and tried a few flavours between us. The Bounty Ice cream rates the highest so far. Flavours tried Bounty ✨✨✨✨✨ Chocolate orange ✨✨✨ Crunchy, ✨✨✨ Pistachio ✨✨✨✨ Just be ready for your heart to skip a beat when you see their prices. Especially the 1/2 litre and litre tubs.

Considering the building developments around the site, access was easily achieved and service was organised and efficient. The ice cream display one of the best we have seen in this country and the choices we made lived up to taste expectations and we would call again if passing nearby - try sticky toffee and coffee varietied to name but 2

Amazing ice cream. Loads of flavours to choose from.

Nice food clean and popular venue on sea front. Lots of varieties of ice cream

Amazing ice cream flavours and loads of choice. Yes it's not the cheapest but as a treat you can't beat it. Vans are not as good but the shop has free parking and is close to bus stop. My favourite in the north east.

We have been visiting this place for the last few years since moving up north. We have never had bad ice cream, coffee, cake, or warm snack. The selection is always brilliant!

Fish and chip shop, restaurant and ice cream parlour all in one! Can highly recommend the ice-cream. Really helpful staff and free parking.

Good selection of gelato/ice cream, little bit pricey but alright for a treat now and then.

Big range of quality products. It's a popular place so be prepared to wait outside and Blyth being Blyth, it can get breezy whilst waiting outside. Will be much better post Covid

Delicious ice-cream. Loads of choice. The bounty (coconut and chocolate) was to die for. My wife's cherry ice-cream tasted fantastic. And if you're intolerant they had some fruit sorbets to choose from.

Perfect place for a drink of coffee and an ice cream. Which flavour to choose though!!

Took a trip to this well known place on a sunny Friday afternoon after an early work finish with my partner after hearing countless great stories about their ice cream. The restaurant (which serves fish and chips as well as gelato) is big and spacious inside and the staff were attentive, helpful and friendly - honestly brilliant. The Gelato, for me, isn't at the same standard as Mimi's Ice Cream Emporium (though my partner loved Ciccarelli's Pistachio!) but is definitely the second best I've had in Newcastle and being by the sea is definitely a big advantage. The prices are fantastic for the portion size, the value for money is where Ciccarelli's really stands out. Three scoops of a large list of flavours was great and was less than £6. All in all, 2x Cakes, a pot of tea to share, 2x 3-scoop ice creams and two Coke Zero's came to £27 which isn't bad at all and the wide range of options will keep you happy, I am sure. The staff were outstanding, and whilst not the best Gelato, for me, in Newcastle, overall myself and my partner had a great time.

Very disappointed. We ordered coffee, cake and ice cream. We had finished the coffee (tasted weak and out a tin) before the ice cream arriving and having to remind the waiting staff. The staff were constantly busy and polite but a family treat was left...

Great fish n chips ice cream fantastic homemade

Home made ice cream travelled from Gosforth to try it been back twice since 😋

Food was nice but very small portions. In terms of service, I’d like to suggest a couple of improvements: 1. Clear main courses of diners promptly after customers finishing as no one ones to be sitting with dirty plates whilst eating desserts. Staff wandering past...

Always large selection of ice creams and sorbets. Recommend the Turkish Delight, Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Fudge and Cherry

Ice cream lovely staff rude and abrupt could do with a course in people skills

The range of different flavours were amazing. The staff very pleasant, helpful and patient. A litre of ice cream was 17. I agree it was a tad expensive but it was wonderful ice-cream and definitely something to treat yourself to. You can also get half litre and cones etc weather a visit if you want to have paper evening or day .

Brilliant food, service atmosphere and more! 😎👌

I go to coastline weekly and always get the same however today the prices have increased and the portions have reduced massively the spam fritter was half the size

Beautiful...I had a waffle cone with sticky toffee pudding, white kinder beuno & banana... Superb! Best ice cream I've had in ages 👌😋

Very good ice-cream compared to other artisan ones in the area but overpriced.

We have always raved about Ciccarellis for years, quality ice cream, great portions and value for money however when family came over from Ireland, they wanted to visit Ciccarellis for an ice cream. I never said anything from my previous visit that I was disappointed...

Stopped off for ice cream and a drink. Welcoming staff. Nice clean environment. Good variety of ice cream and drinks on offer. All reasonably priced. A choice of sitting in, out or taking away. Will return.

Delicious ice cream. A lovely selection & very generous with their scoops. Highly recommended
