Very good ice cream place. Not usually crowded. Best Devon ice cream in the world, across from the black swans and ducks.

Every year we have to walk to dawlish from the warren and o only do it to visit this place. We have had a photo outside here with us as children, our children now our grandchildren. I just love the BIG special icecream .. £4.00 who knew clotted cream was meant to be on a icecream and they aren’t stingy either it’s huge .. we got a beef and silton pasty and a lamb and mint tray of clotted cream scones and some rock and toys and the obligatory gays merchandise ;-) this year we brought a red pen Don’t forget to sit on the park benches and watch the black swans and her babies watch out for seagulls ..

Sells a very good selection of takeaway food, of which you can cross the road and eat at the tables next to the river. We selected a range of baps, pasties, cake and a takeaway clotted cream & scones, for which staff provided a disposable knife. Inside, there is also a range of edible gifts and local ales.

I got hailed on and was soaked while eating this ice cream, and I can still say that I had a smile from ear to ear. I've eaten ice cream all around the globe and this is now my favorite. One flavour, no fuss, and well priced. Airy and wonderful. I also had the best chicken and mushroom (in white sauce) pie I've ever had and even bought an apple one to go. Cute and wonderful products. Fair price. Great service. Fast moving line. They even have seating with a great view of the river. Worth a trip to Dawlish all by itself.

Possibly the worse pasties in the world. ... even the cheesey Steves the sell are just awful.. I think u should go to a proper pasty shop and taste the difference how can u even buy this rubbish that u could get a better pasty from a supermarket... I had pasties all over the uk and this is the worse pasty shop in the country by a long shot and should be closed down. I recommend that this pasty shop try the bakery in St Mary Church torquay and try their own pasties before even replying to this review and knowing the pasty in this shop in St Mary Church are much better than what they are servicing customers and people who are on hoilday as well as live in dawlish shouldn't allow this bad experience to put u off buying a proper pasty elsewhere.. The bucheener on babbacome downs u can even get a better pasty than u cam from here do not rely on this place to gey pasties they are totally awful.

Been coming to Gays Creamery for over 20 years with the family when we went on holiday to Dawlish....it's become a sort of annual pilgrimage. Now I have a family of my own we've continued that tradition! Amazing pastries, moreish cream teas, and godly tier cakes. My only niggle is they no longer do the treacle tarts I remember from many years ago.....but the cherry pie definitely makes up for it. Here's to another 20 years

Visited here due to my childhood visit to Devon and my mum forever talking about this place. I was quite disappointed. Food left out with no sort of refrigeration. Due to this avoided lunch here and opted for an ice cream. Ice creams had a taste of meat about them. Such a shame!

Creamery doesn't do it justice, this place is a veritable emporium of goodies. Hot and cold food, sweetmeats, ice cream, souvenirs, you name it, they've got it. When on a day trip to Dawlish (like this visit), I always make a point of popping in here. it's a must visit shop when in the town. Stocking up for the day I bought sausage rolls, a curry chicken slice, and a piece (slab more like) of Ham and cheese quiche. All the food was lovely, but the quiche in partic was one of the best i've had in a long time. And of course some fudge, to take home along with a box of chocolate raisins, cheekily boxed, and sold as 'crab poo' :) A great place, you can't go to Dawlish and not go to Gay's.

We live in Cornwall and went to Dawlish to revisit Gay's Creamery for a pasty and ice cream. We had been before a few times in the distant past and enjoyed all our visits. This time was no exception. The staff were very friendly and efficient; the traditional pasties were very tasty; and the ice creams were to die for. Over all, the standard was excellent, and we would like to thank the staff for a very memorable experience. We will return.

We came here during my childhood holidays, and l always remembered the ice cream with the clotted cream and flake. 40 plus years later, I returned with my husband and adult children and was amazed that this shop is still going! The ice cream was as good as my childhood memories plus the takeaway cream tea, pasties and cakes were sampled over our 2 weeks. Obviously more expensive, but the memory of my father buying me the ice cream and saying "don't tell your mum" was worth every calorie.

We visited Gays on the first day of our holiday and the food isn’t like it used to be!! Myself and my partner are vegetarians and due to cross contamination of meat pies and pastries with the cakes … the icing on the cake tasted of meat!!!! So disappointed as we was looking forward to a cake …. Went back told the manager our issue and she wasn’t bothered at all. Won’t be rushing back that’s for sure!!! They need to separate the cakes and the meat products!!!

A lovely shop with great selection of pasty’s sausage rolls ice cream cream teas drink sweets etc. friendly staff and served very promptly. We had a pasty each and grandchildren a cake and ice cream then sat by stream running through Dawlish watching the swans. And ducks. Grandchildren loved it and the produce was 1 st class. I timed my visit right as a guy serving ( lovely chap with beard did not get name) gave me a free small pasty as doing a promotion that day so took that home for tea. The cream tea is a must lovely light scones jam and cream. All made on premises. Lovely treat on holiday. Well done gays as all reasonably priced and not like some places we visited just try to rip off people with silly pricing. See you next year 🤞

Absolutely appalled with the level of 'service' this shop has to offer. Some of the things which are discussed in front of customers amongst staff members is disgusting. And hearing it come from an older man in his mid to late 30s to younger girls no older than 17-18 is just sickening. The owner(s) definitely need to teach their staff what is appropriate to be discussed on the shop floor, especially from an older man to younger girls. Can see these girls are uncomfortable with some of the things which are said. Perhaps look into who you're hiring. Sickening.
