If you’re ever in St Davids , this lovely, family run icecream parlour is a must ! Fantastic, creamy, ice cream made on the premises with local milk. Vegan, gluten free are also available. Staff on hand to advise of allergy contents, and they even have cute dog ice cream. Nice seats outside to people watch. Hot/cold beverages and small selection of snacks and cakes available too . Love my little visits to this place x

We were disappointed with this ice cream parlour and tried it several times to make sure it wasn't us! The ice cream looks great but it lacks flavour and is too sweet. There's also quite a high water content compared to other ice creams we've tried, so it melts very quickly and makes a mess. I was surprised that we didn't like it more as it is made on the premises and there's a good selection of flavours. The service could be friendlier. We had a six year old in our group who wanted to taste a flavour before committing - they don't do that.

Absolutely stunning choice of flavours, all delicious. They offer 1 litre and 1/2 litre take-outs which are great value. We had two different flavours every day for two weeks.

Highly recommend the ice cream here! I had the 'healthy options' - Blueberry and Panacotta and Fig and Marscapone with a side order of Pembrokeshire Promise!! All absolutely delicious! We also had a coffee and a mocha, both very good too. The staff were friendly and helpful both in person and online - I had messaged them before our visit to check opening times and got a very swift response. Make sure you visit!

Living near St Davids I find it very difficult to walk past The Bench without having an ice cream - one of the best ice cream parlours in the area. Ice cream made with milk from local farm. Absolutely delicious, generous scoop and a great choice of flavours.

So glad that I don't live nearby as definitely addicted to this icecream! The best I've had outside of Italy. Pembokeshire Promise is my favourite so far, but looking forward to trying other flavours in future. It's nice that they have outside seating where dogs are welcome too. It's worth making a special trip here if you're in the area....Or even if you're not!

Lovely Ice-cream, we all picked a flavour, and a wildcard , death by chocolate , Cappuccino, salted caramel , the cherry flavour , sorry can't remember what it was called , and the Peach & Mango as the wildcard, we were all happy with our choices , but all also agreed the salted caramel was the winner followed by the cherry, the only slight negative felt the Mango could do with a bit more flavor it was very subtle, I was expecting a bang of flavour. But all in all very good ice cream served in a great location in the centre of St.Davids
