I tried the salted caramel and it was wonderful! Served by a welcoming and lovely lady who said she makes it fresh every day.

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.

We also had a coffee and a mocha, both very good too.

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!
