Fochabers Ice Cream Parlour in Moray

A wonderful ice cream parlour with great coffee and home baking. The ice cream flavours available are amazing. The home made cakes cater for allergy intolerances. Worth trying out some of the tropical and asian flavours.

Our favourite ice cream parlour and we’ve been coming for years. Always well worth the hours drive. I had the dairy free Jelly bear and it was the best dairy free ice cream I’ve ever had. Very more-ish and I had to restrain from having seconds!!!

I decided to take my children for a after school treat and took them to the parlour. We got greeted with friendly faces and lots of different ice cream to choose from. We sat inside and one of the ladies came over to take our order, (very patient with the children making their all important decision😅) . While we were waiting for our ice cream, one of the girls came over with crayons and paper for the kids. The ice cream was delicious 😋!! My girls nipped to the toilet and on the way back, the owner gave them a sweetie which they were obviously delighted with. It's a lovely little place to go for that all important treat!!

Very cagey staff asked 4 times if my five year old could use the toilet and two members of staff completely ignored me and looked at my as if I had horns !!! Asked again and they directed me out of the shop to the public toilets up past the chip shop . But it was all very hush hush and whispered to me . We’re they embarrassed to talk bodily functions or does a cafe not have a toilet . Really confused I thought all eateries had to have a toilet . My poor daughter was really desperate. Very disappointing that they have no facility for their customers . Use this shop regular and also buy all my Christmas ice cream cakes and igloos here every year . Poor customer service . Us six as a family will think twice on returning . Who would refuse a child the use of a toilet !!!!!!

I had a tub with one scoop luxury vanilla and one scoop of the honeycomb. Soft, tasty and not too sweet - don’t miss it if you’re in town

I visited this shop late this afternoon and it's unlikely that I'll return. I had just popped out for a few things for dinner and was drawn by the heat of the afternoon to buy an ice-cream. Having bought a single scoop of ok ice-cream I had a whim to sit in the courtyard and eat in peace. As I turned towards the door to the courtyard I was told I hadn't paid to sit in. Did I explain that I felt unwell? Or that I needed a few moments peace ? No I didn't. I live in a world where one woman would not even mention a 'sitting in ' fee to another woman. Where as a community we look out for each other and show empathy even if it costs us, what, a few pence? I was a solo woman in her late 50's who had just spent a little money in your shop. Would it really have painted you so much to say 'go ahead, you look like you need a seat'? I won't be back and I hope if I ever need help that there's someone other than you around to give it!

Far too expensive for tiny scoop of ice cream which wasn’t anything special. Wouldnt recommend stopping here. They need to review pricing and portion size!

How would I rate the ice cream it was ok hard to tell the scoops were so small . Asked the staff was there an extra charge to sit in there was no one there But I am still waiting for an answer . Would I go back No

We love this place and visit weekly for ice cream sundaes and waffles. Lovely staff who always have a wee sweetie for our little boy ☺️

If you're an ice cream fan then this place is for you. The award winning ice cream is well worth the trip, make the effort! The chocolate sorbet (dairy free) is to die for. Top class!!

Lovely ice-cream, well worth a visit, but never feel entirely welcome as we like to sit in. The flavours are amazing and each year there seems to be new flavours to try.

This ice cream is therefore best on the pla net....staff lovely... ices delicious. Keep up the good work and choices to many to mention.......👍

On a really hot day as a family we headed into Fochabers for ice creams. Lovely selection at great prices for six of us

A shop-front for takeaways, a largish sit-in cafe and a garden at the back for use on hot days; coffee and home-made cakes also. I always try to visit if I am able: I love the ice-creams and my wife loves the cakes!

A cute little parlour with a vast array of ice cream flavours, cones, tubs, toppings, soft and hot drinks, cakes and take away tubs. Fantastic that they cater to dietary requirements too with a dairy free ice cream and sorbet always available. The owner and staff are always very welcoming. The only snag is deciding which flavour to have!

Great stop off for some lovely ice cream before heading for the beach. Kids and adults all enjoyed the different flavours we had Do a great flat white coffee too!!

So many delicious flavours of ice-cream to choose from and excellent safety measures in place. We planned to visit Fochabers and I phoned the parlour in advance to request a particular flavour. Was delighted that they made a special batch of Blue Moon which is a family favourite from their range.

Trying to do my best to trim some of the Covid excess but after a walk up Ben Aigan my son and I agreed that a little (3 scoops) ice cream was in order. Great service , one way system clearly marked and the choice of flavours was almost overwhelming. Worth a visit and any wait you might experience

Stopped in today to try the ice cream, but had coffee and cakes first which were so tasty. The staff are all lovely and helpful. We all had some ice cream which we thought was just amazing.

Fochabers Ice Cream Parlour provided their Ice Cream Cart for our Wedding in September at Inchberry Hall. All of the guests were delighted with having Ice Cream after the ceremony and we couldn’t have been happier with both the Ice Cream and the service from Sheila and her staff!

Had a superb coffee and warm homemade mince pie with crumbly melt in the mouth pastry! Lovely Saturday treat😊

Nothing too much trouble and very friendly. Fab ice cream too! Unusual flavours of ice cream as well the usual ones but all taste fantastic. Ice cream tubs of various sizes and flavours to buy and ice cream cakes too!!

Stopped for an ice cream with family and grand children, what a selection i had two scoops in a tub, one vanilla and one apple crumble it was great. First time had apple crumble ice cream but will have it again !Seats inside and outside if you want to sit and enjoy

First visit ...staff very abrupt and not very welcoming . Had the condensed milk flavour cone which you would never have known and cone was a bit soft .

Battenberg ice cream is absolutely incredible! Friendly staff and definitely worth a visit. £2 for a cone was very reasonable considering this is without doubt the best ice cream I’ve ever eaten.

Superb ice cream in this shop. Well known flavours plus many more award winning ones dreamed up by the proprietrix. Be sure of a friendly welcome and, if you wish, take a seat in the cafe style area next to the ice cream servery. People come from miles around for this ice cream.

I have visited the ice cream parlour many times and I’m never disappointed whether it’s for an ice cream or just a coffee. There’s always a great variety of flavours, ones which you wouldn’t necessarily find anywhere else, but my favourite has to be the honeycomb! Definitely recommend it if you’re in the area.

I visited and enjoyed a lovely fresh brewed coffee and some home bakes. I regularly take away their ice cream cakes which are skilfully made awesome looks and even better taste. a 10 out of 10 place. well worth going out of your way for. Specifically recommend their Vesuvius ice cream coupe and they know how to make a perfect cappuccino

Fantastic unique flavours, can buy a tub to take home too. Also Ice cream cakes. Small cafe area. Difficult to resist.

We called in here after spending a lovely day cycling and walking in the nearby woods. The ice cream was delicious and the coffee was the best I’ve tasted in a long time. In addition the owner was really friendly and went out of her way to give us recommendations for places to visit during our holiday in the area. Thumbs up from all of our family

We always stop off here when in the area. There is a great selection of homemade ice cream on offer. The honeycomb is a must. The team are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth stopping here!

What better way to finish off a great day out. A delicious ice cream, chosen from a great range of flavours. Scrumptious!

Privately owned an run Ice cream parlour, Delicious “ home made ice cream “, they have a great selection of around 20 or so flavours, from honeycomb to Arabian nights ( Turkish Delight ) and a rather fine Basil an lemon ! Excellent staff, polite , who enjoy being there, all in a bright and colourful parlour .....what more can you say .well worth a run through or to Fochabers for !

We have often passed by the ice cream parlour but always busy. Today was quieter so we popped in for an ice cream and came away with four big tubs.... honeycomb ice cream and lemon sorbet my favourite, rum baba my husband and son the Amaretto. Another visit soon to work our way through some more of the great flavours. It going to be a tough call.

Wide range of unique and traditional flavours, we have tried a few and loved them all. The chocolate ice cream won top prize in a national competition I heard.

We decided to give this place a try when staying in Fochabers on the penultimate afternoon of our walk along the Speyside Way. They offer a very good range of ice creams at a reasonable price - my two scoop tub was £3:50.

I popped in on the off chance there was an ice cream cake I could buy to make a birthday celebration even more special.

Great icecream including a few vegan choices. Reasonable price and possibility to sit in or in back yard.

Myself, wife and son stopped here due to its reputation for tasty ice cream. I asked for 2 scoops and was swiftly answered with -

If you like ice-cream you will love the Ice-Cream Parlour in Fochabers.

We made time to visit the parlour which was enjoyed by all preferring to sit in to eat our ice-creams and waffles which were delicious, pleasant and helpful staff on hand explaining what was in offer, would definitely call in again to try a different flavour.

Fantastic no competition to be found. Home made Ice creams, delicious and fantastic assortment. Prompt friendly service. Great value for money.

Had a great coffee here today but the Granny Annie's honeycomb ice cream is just the best ever, and the award winning ice cream cakes just look amazing. A must if your driving through Fochabres, stop here don't just drive past.

Popped in for takeaway Coffeee and had a bit Shortbread .The coffee was spot on and the shortbread was perfect I'm just sorry I didn't buy more as was only passing but will fed be back ..Cheap to .☺

The ice cream is delicious and comes in some unusual flavours. Highly recommended by a local and it lived up to expectations.

best ice cream I've had in a long time, recommend the battenburgh cake ice cream and strawberry cheesecake ice creams

Stop off after a walk for some ice cream. Always stop off if through this direction. Sheila and pinkies always welcoming

Owner is rude and had a bad attitude. Ice cream is average. Also found that she is intolerant of children and families.

I regularly visit Fochabers ice cream parlour. I enjoy Scotland’s best ice cream. Superb coffee and fresh biscuits and cakes with my coffee. A true 10/10 place, not to be missed.

Went to the ice-cream parlour last on Saturday 9th June. Great choice of cones and ice-cream. My daughter loved the unicorn sparkle ice-cream! Great to see a place like this open later in the evenings!

If you stick to what you know, the ice cream here is well worth a stop for. Be aware that the street does get very busy at times, though, if you need to park. I thoroughly enjoyed my ice cream but, sadly, the same cannot be said for my companion who had toffee popcorn. It was absolutely dreadful (I tried it & found it vile). Another friend had told me to steer clear of the bubblegum. So, if you want to experiment, anticipate that it might just be something that you don't want to repeat.

Tantalising choices of homemade ice creams and sorbets. Always new flavours along with old favourites. It's hard to decide which ones to select from the spectacular display of flavours. The shop is very clean and staff efficient and friendly. There is the option to sit in or take away. Lots of lovely home bakes available too, and they are every bit as tasty.. calories well worth eating. This shop is always a delight to visit.

Staff welcoming and chatty. I've cream good and well priced. Decent selection too. Clean interior. Selection hot drinks on offer too. Will visit again.

Every time we are here we always come in for some ice cream and take some home. The flavours are always good and it nice to see some new interesting flavours which are also great.

Shiela and 'The Pinkies' are always on hand to prepare amazing coffee and serve great cakes. And thats before you even get to the best ice cream in Great Britain!

This little shop is simply lovely. I did not have ice cream, but coffee and a pastry. The woman behind the counter was very nice. I asked her several questions about Gordon Castle and she was more than happy to provide that information. This shop...

3rd visit for us, a worthwhile very short diversion off the A96. Such a selection of lovely flavours and all ours tasted great. Friendly staff. The baking looked great too - will need to try that the next time. Have tried Malteaser, Honeycomb, Flake, Vanilla,...

We nipped in here late on Friday night and we're glad it was open until 8pm. My husband had a waffle and I had a mixed ice cream sundae. The ice cream was brilliant and worth the price. The owner to the cafe was really...

We had lovelt ice cream here on a hot day... bakewell tart and the ferrero rocher ice creams were fab! Staff friendly and helpful Prices reaaonable!

This award winning ice cream shop is a definite must if your in this area. The variety of ice cream's outstanding and there is a small but cosy cafe to sit and have coffee/tea with wonderful home made produce...

No hay mucho más que decir, simplemente ir a comer su helado es la mejor que he probado y un montón de opciones!

Mi hija le encanta el helado aquí así que mientras ella es la delicia que opto por una espresso sobre helado! Dee exuberante! 😀Sheila y su personal es encantador y siempre dispuesto y servicial! X

Primera clase helado de Sheila, personal muy amable y fantástico, he tenido un par de helados tortas absolutamente precioso y nuestros hijos ellos alguno.

Fantástica selección de helados, salada caramelo es sin duda un favorito, acompañado por personal muy agradable.

Esta es la segunda vez que fuimos para el helado en nuestro viaje en coche desde Aberdeen a Inverness. Anteriormente había dejado una gran crítica, la primera vez que estuve, pero esta vez me quedé muy decepcionado con el servicio de atención al cliente.

it's a pity the younger staff don't train the proprietor on customer service as they are excellent. The manager seems to be consistently offhand and lacks people skills.. What a shame when the icecream and baking is so nice. Possibly this is why the cafe is more than not empty.

Myself, my partner and my 3 year old son stopped by for ice cream. We sat inside and had copious different flavours each, including caramac, raspberry ripple, Belgian chocolate and marshmallow. Every single one was delicious, their ice cream is amazing!

Visited on a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon, queued out into Main Street worth the wait, shop immaculate, staff very polite & obliging, ice cream delicious, cherry bake wall was lush ...

Popped in after walking some of the Speyside Way, which passes through Fochabers. Home-made ice-cream is the name of the game here, although don't overlook the home-baking, cakes and fresh coffee. I had a big piece of tasty lemon cake, a fresh, hot and delicious coffee and a welcome sit-down! Although kinda sugared out, I still thought I should try the ice-cream, which I justified due to my walk. Two large scoops of rich and creamy in a crisp and fresh waffle cone. Yum!Although pretty busy the staff made me feel welcome and spent a few minutes shooting the breeze with me. Recommended.

The most expensive ice cream ship in Scotland that I have came across £16 for 2 ice cream cones avoid like the plague

well known for the fantastic quality and selection of ice creams they also have a cafe with wonderful home bakes and drinks of all kinds including the most wonderful hot chocolate. We popped in today after the village lights were switched on and were served by lovely, friendly staff. Service was quick and hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows hit the spot on a winter afternoon.

Again this place never stops amazing with the different array of choices of home made ice-creams.The staff are very friendly and attentive willing to offer advice on the different icecreams.

This ice cream parlour has won awards and rightly so. You are spoilt for choice, the ice cream is delicious and because they make it themselves there are often really creative flavours. One of my favourites was cranachan. The service is also excellent and the only reason you would be waiting is when customers are having difficulty making up their minds. They also do lovely bakes and you can sit inside or out if the weather is kind.

Fantastic selection of ice cream, wonderful taste and a must visit when in the area. Naturally made ice cream with so many flavours. Lovely parlour shop and good customer service.

This ice cream parlour is just amazing, the choice of flavours had me wanting to try all of them. They also have fresh baked cakes and scones which are delicious too.It is nicely decorated and has a lovely area outside to sit when the weather is nice. The staff and the owner are just delightful, it is no wonder it has won so many awards.This is a must to visit if you are ever in this area :)

After a long day of walking we had a fabulous welcome and excellent ice cream and tea. Restored us all. Thank you.

On an usually sunny and warm October day at the beach, ice cream was a must. There was lots of amazing flavours to choose from and I went for the Caramac and Cookie Dough. £3 for a cone with 2 scoops which is reasonable considering the quality and how delicious it was. Highly recommend and I will be back whilst passing again!

Can't fault this lovely shop. The range of flavours are mind boggling and all handmade. Cannot recommend highly enough

With flavours I have never even heard of before it's a great place for everyone's favourite sweet treat, from Irn bru flavour to bread and butter pudding flavour Ice cream it's definitely something different, only nip pick is it's not the cheapest around but I still come here time and time again to satisfy my sweet tooth.

What a lovely ice cream parlour with an excellent choice of flavours the staff were really helpful and we had an excellent time on a hot day

Top quality homemade ice cream, well worth a visit if you are in the area. Always some unusual flavours that are quite delicious!

For some reason Moray is blessed with more than a few excellent ice cream shops and their Fochabers representative is up there with the best!A very hospitable experience throughout, the staff clearly love working there which is always a good sign. When not serving customers, they are busy cleaning and keeping hygiene standards high.The ice cream choice is very varied and the quality speaks for itself (Ferraro rocher ice cream... oh my days)! Anyone complaining about the price I can only assume are used to the cheap hydrogenated vegetable oil stuff masquerading as ice cream. If you seriously think the parlour should be pricing their homemade high quality ice cream along the same lines as that mass produced frozen milky vomit then you need to taste it to see for yourself how good it is and how mistaken you are. Great place, will be back again. P.S. They deserve a bonus star for stocking moray cup (drink of the gods)

We were visiting in Fochabers after moving away more than 2 years ago and as soon as we walked in Sheila remembered my favourite flavour, Bakewell Tart. She made some for the next day so no guessing what I gorged myself on everyday that we were there. And she had tubs available too for me to take home. Thank you Sheila, you are a star. The ice cream is delicious and no wonder she has stacked up so many awards and running out of wall space for them too.

Fantastic ice cream made on the premises oh and don't forget the cakes and scones. Lovely morning coffee stop for us.

If you like ice cream or sorbet this is the place! There are so many classic and unusual flavours I find it difficult to make a choice. Cornets and tubs in different sizes to fill and eat in or take away. The staff are delightful; happy, helpful and very patient. No wonder there is often a queue . They also serve a selection of drinks, hot and cold as well as scones and cakes.

There are so many new flavours to choose from that it makes it very difficult to select only one or two. I have never seen such a selection of exotic flavours. The Belgian chocolate is a definite choice for chocoholics and the strawberry and prosecco is a must for those who like the bubbly. We called in for coffee and a scone (which was excellent) and could not leave without sampling the ice cream also.

For me the best ice cream parlour in the wider area, only rivalled by my favourite ice cream café in Germany (traditional Italian)! The range of flavours is amazing, you can find something new every time you go! Staff are always friendly - and patient! Often it's not easy to chose from all the flavours available! Found my favourite Jammy Dodgers made into ice cream, same with Kinder Buenos! Mostly I get a tub and eat my ice cream somewhere out and about, but have stayed for a sundae as well and it was worth it!I like that there are always new flavours available and you can't get stuck with your favourite ONE again and again. That way I have tried and tested some different flavours I might not have gone for if I could have chosen XYZ again and again.Then again... if you're looking forward to get this special flavour again at your next visit, you might be disappointed because it's not there that day! But then the above kicks in and so far I haven't been disappointed when trying something new!

Best ice cream in the north east of Scotland! The flavours are so yummy and you have to go back for more.

Took my mother and gran here who were visiting from Ayrshire and regularly go to another very good parlour in Largs.This was excellent, my grans face lit up when she got her knickerbocker glory and even though i have been before and i knew what to expect...mine did too.I wouldn't say it is the cheapest place to go and would be kind of expensive if you have a large group but i am in agreement with you pay for quality.I do enjoy coming here and will continue to do so when family visit as then i have reason too.

We love coming here, and it's worth the 80 mile round trip. The staff are always helpful and the amazing range of ice creams on offer are utterly tasty.

Excellent ice cream in a variety of flavours.Welcoming and helpful. staff.We will definitely return.

Fabulous selection of ice cream. Staff are very friendly. There is a good selection of cakes also and you can sit in or take away which is always a bonus if it's raining

Came to Ice Cream shop Saturday morning! loved the chocolate ice cream best so much so my little boy didn't want to leave! We sat in with our ice cream and the boys got to play in the sandpit and milk the cow! They just loved it! The staff are so so friendly and very welcoming! We will definitely be back! Thanks so much for such a fab experience really made our weekend! The boys are still speaking about the chocolate ice cream now!

Lovely trip away the ice cream was lovely such a choice and variety would definitely go back there was such a choice whether you wanted traditional chocolate or vanilla or something different like raspberry and prosecco or rhubarb and custard if your in the area would definitely go staff were very friendly and helpful such.

We have been to Fochabers before and never ventured into the main high street, we saw the signs for the pink shop and decided to have a lookWe have been back three times since, shop is spotless and the staff are lovely, superb selection of award winning ice creams , they also do a selection of home baked goods

Firstly this is 100% genuine.Had a few ice creams here and the ones I had were really lovely.BUT.....these are very expensive in my view and overpriced.Very good range of ice creams available and a seating area outside although its nothing special could be made alot better.The ice creams are award winning and probably quite rightly so as they were very nice and worth a try.But dont forget if you take the kids you will need to work overtime to pay for the day!!!

A ray of sunshine on a very soggy afternoon!!!I detoured into Fochabers to visit a shop (which unfortunately was closed) so decided I might as well grab a coffee. I stumbled across the ice cream parlour - you can't miss it it's pink!! I received a great reception from the staff, great coffee (their barista training worked) a nice home bak, free wifi and a very reasonable bill!! Next time I'll be detouring to go here!!

This is a ice cream parlour that we have visited on a couple of occasions when we have Been in the area after visiting the coast,it's easy too get too as its in the middle of the Main Street ,parking is usually easy,the variety of choice is very good,you will have a difficult time making your mind up unless you have your favourites.Seeing that we had Travelled up from west Cornwall were we have similar parlour it was for us a little easier and it also made us feel more at home,the parlour is spotless and the staff very friendly,it's well worth a visit.

Have been here a few times and every time had to get 3 scoops because I couldn't decide what flavour! Delicious! Every time I have been, there has been new options to choose from! Staff are very helpful and polite with the inside very clean and modern!

We often stop here for an ice cream it has so many varieties we try to choose a different flavour each time the ice cream is out of this world well worth trying. The shop is so clean.
