G&T's Ice Cream Parlour in Harrogate

Lovely fresh sandwiches. Unfortunately cafe not dog friendly and January is not the best time of year to sit outside. I think the cafe is missing out on dog owner trade as cafe perfectly set out for dogs with suitable floor and well spaced tables. We would have sat in for lunch and desert. Can not fault the sandwiches and service.

Walked in stood next to the wait for table sign to be seated, waitress said “what do you want” we said “can we come in” she said “why what are you having”we said “ some coffee and ice cream for the grandchildren would be nice” waitress reluctantly showed us to a table. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a cafe as I did in this one they basically couldn’t wait to get rid of us so they could close it was 2.30 their closing time was 4.30. Paid £15 to be sat in there for 10 mins. Will not be returning will stick to going to Brymore their staff know how to look after their customers

Fancied an ice cream so made a trip to G & T. Beautiful as always. I always have whichever sorbet they have on and in a chocolate coated cone. Certainly recommend

Lots of choice of flavours, took me a while to choose which I wanted! I had honeycomb crunch & hubby had brownies & cream. Very nice indeed.

We were driving past, saw the signs, and called in. So glad we did - delish ice cream in a good choice of flavours.We called back again a few weeks later when we were driving "past" - we were actually in Ripon, but that counts as past for the wife when there's ice cream.

In a blink and miss it village, this is the only place you need to have in your sat nav. Their ice cream was perfect and definitely worth the 2.5 walk around Fountains Abbey.

A lovely sunny visit. Staff friendly and helpful. Wonderful, safe outdoor seating area. Ice creams are fabulous.

My wife randomly saw an advert on Facebook for this place and saw they did special ice cream flavour for Christmas that you could pick up.I emailed to ask if they had my chosen flavour in stock and then went to collect them.Well organised shop with separate doors for in and out with arrows on the floor.Most important though was the ice cream.I got a 500ml tub of pear almond frangipane and also a tub of Apple pear and cinnamon.Both ice creams were amazing. Very soft and creamy with bits of fruit and a lovely flavour.I'll definitely be getting some more ice cream for next Christmas. And hopefully sometime this year will visit for some walking followed by a scoop of their amazing ice cream!

The two ladies running the cafe were very unfriendly. The weather was cold but no indoor seating was possible. The cafe clearly had the furniture and the space but claimed they were not "ready" yet. Other cafes in the area have managed to offer indoor seating. Coffee/tea was served in disposable cups which were only two thirds full. Got the feeling we were not really welcome.

Came for the ice cream after a trip to fountain abbey. Decided on a sausage roll at the till as they looked really good. Best I’ve ever had so went back and bought more and also scotch eggs. They should definitely make more noise about these. Amazing. Ice cream was lovely but I’d drive significantly out of my way for the sausage rolls or scotch eggs!

We had spent a few hours at Brimham Rocks and dropped in on the way home. As ever the ice creams were lovely although my partner was slightly disappointed with the rum and raisin. I had the blood orange sorbet and it was amazing! All in all a really nice visit with good procedures in place and I'm sure that we'll be back again soon.

Just popped in here for a sandwich and ice cream and had a lovely meal. The ham sandwich my 4 year old son had was full of lovely carved butchers-style ham, and the ice cream was fantastic.Staff were lovely and friendly, making the place really cheerful despite it being quiet today. Highly recommended.

We had spent the morning at Brimham Rocks and when googling places near by for food we saw this place.. From pictures on the website it looked dog friendly. On arrival there was one table sat outside. We walked in, there were no customers inside but 2 staff behind the counter who ignored us. We stood awkwardly for a moment then I asked politely with a smile 'are dogs allowed inside?' before I'd barely finished my sentance the sour faced women replied 'no sorry' and turned away..Don't work in customer service if you can't be polite :)We went to a very accommodating pub down the road instead.

We're locals, so maybe we're a little biased in having such wonderful ice creams almost on our doorstep. The bright, 'Tour de Yorkshire' decorated walls make it hard to miss although it is on a bit of a bend and junction so take care if you really are stopping on impulse.Always a great selection of ice creams and different sized / flavoured cones to be found, with seating inside and picnic benches outside. There is a car park adjacent, though it can get busy on sunny afternoons, obviously!We love the staff, always friendly and happy to offer sample tastes (not everything, of course, else they'd be out of business)! And you can take tubs home too! Very highly recommend.

Great ice cream. Flavours, texture, creaminess, whats not to enjoy. The problem is how many scoops to squeeze into the cup, oh boy, yummy!! Get stuck in.

If you're peckish and appreciate a good icecream but also lucky enough to be in this area on a sunny day then we fully recommend here

Great little cafe which is off the beaten track , we came for ice cream and left with smiles all round , very good Ice cream and not to many different flavours , I had 3 scoops hazelnut, raspberry and choc orange, all where good and enjoyable, not overly expensive, they sell the flavours by the tub also which would be great if you lived locally but not so much if you have a long journey home

The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was good but we choose to sit inside and found it lacked atmosphere, There was a lot of fly's and wasps inside (which they cannot help) but the doors out to the seating area were shut and in front of one of the doors were all the cushions piled up that should have been on the seats outside, if the doors had been opened then the fly's would have moved on and not have been trapped round eaters....will not rush back.

We only stumbled upon this little gem as we were diverted on a route, due to a closed road. They had lots of lovely flavours of ice cream and types of cones. The toilets were lovely and clean.

We love it here spotlessly clean , great welcome and brilliant food drink and of course ice cream ! Before indulging in ice cream which is a must !!! Try their homemade lemon cheesecake not tasted any like it’s delicious. Lovely food menu at good prices too . Cannot wait until next visit .

We visited the area for a couple of days last week and visited G&T's both days. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, as was the range of gluten free options available.I can highly recommend the GF frangipan with ice cream - such a treat.

Just got there before they closed, amazing ice cream, so many to choose from. Highly recommended, easy to find in between Pateley Bridge and Ripon.

Excellent sandwiches and salad preprepared for our group of 11 walkers together with a lovely cup of tea and a delicious cake.

Whilst on holiday in Yorkshire, we visited this place for a coffee on route back from a long walk. There is a massive range of local ice creams. The cookies and dough was really tasty. The cappuccino coffee was great to. Highly recommended cafe. 😊

Must put my hands up to not knowing the existence of the ice cream parlour. Just happened to be passing.

We have visited G&T;'s on numerous occasions with a minimum of two children in tow and all excited for ice cream. We have always been greeted with a warm welcome and made to feel totally at ease, I was therefore incredibly surprised to read the last two reviews.

After a day out with the family (two couple and five kids all in all) we decided to stop for some ice cream. With five excited kids we knew we wouldn’t be the most quiet customers but did keep reminding the kids to behave themselves as needed. At one point the kids were bouncing on their chairs which made a funny sound as a result. We quickly told the kids to stop but apparently not fast enough because AFTER they had stopped and while we were explaining to the kids why that was not allowed a rather grim faced member of staff coldly told us “tell your kids to stop that!”. The youngest child (my 3 year old daughter) went back to the chairs and started bouncing again (not big enough to make any noise at all or cause any sort of damage). I immediately stood up and got her off the chair and started to head towards the front door as I had told my children would happen if they started bouncing again. I was then stopped by ANOTHER grim faced member of staff telling me to not let the kids bounce on the chairs. I was already half way to the front door with my 3 year old who was the only child who kept bouncing on the chairs, which lasted all of 5 seconds!! I am appalled at how the staff handled the situation, no courtesy at all!! We were literally in the middle of parenting a group of 3-10 year olds in what I thought was supposed to be a family friendly café!! Extremely rude staff. Not a family friendly place!!

Ice cream was ok but absolutely nothing to entertain the kids. Just as we were commenting on this the kids began messing around and bumping down onto the chairs as they made a silly noise when they did. We told the kids to calm down and stop and just as we did one of the members of staff came over and told us to tell them to stop in a very abrupt and unfriendly manner to which we replied that we just had and he stalked off. Unfortunately one of the three year olds with our group didn't get the message and did one more bounce. Her mother immediately got up to get her and remove her from the situation when a different member of staff rushed over eager to tell us to control our children again. Obviously, I accept that our children were being a little rambunctious, like normal kids are when they're with their friends. However, both sets of parents were sorting the situation and felt everything was dealt with extremely poorly on the part of the staff. We were very much made to feel like we were unwelcome and there was little attempt at understanding or really much concept of customer service. They made it very clear they didn't want us there with lively children and made us feel undermined and extremely incompetent to say the least. So in short, would definitely not recommend to families and groups with children. I will be telling others to avoid like the plague! Go to Birchfield Ice Cream Farm instead.Such a shame as it seemed so promising!

Visited again and enjoyed a delicious bacon and free range egg bread bun. We couldn’t leave without trying again one of the many flavoured home made ice creams, again delicious! As always when we visit here we left very satisfied!! Thanks G&T;!

We called in today at 1620 for coffee and ice creams on a warm half term day.

Visited here several times over the years, even when they were doing G & T flavoured ice cream (sadly no more). Wonderful flavours to choose from, simply delicious and the staff are lovely. A little out of the way but well worth a detour to sample these lovely delights!

Been a few times before and sure I'll be back again. I'm coeliac and they are very knowledge about which ones I can have. They always have some new and interesting flavours too!

The kids love it here - ice cream and the sundaes are lovely. The ice cream is always lovely and lots of different varities

The best vampires blood ever tasted, not to mention the ghostly goul and the bat poo! I said not to mention them!!! Once again fantastic ice-cream.

We took our two dogs here for their “bonio” ice cream ,they loved it . My husband had the Bakewell tart flavour which actually tasted like Bakewell tart. It’s a lovely place ,shame they don’t cook after two pm though.

Have been here every time we visit Yorkshire and my husbands home town “Ripon.”

A great ice cream parlour. The waffles are amazing! We visited as a family of 4 and enjoyed the ice cream as well as other dishes. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Stopped for a quick ice cream on the way home from a day of sightseeing at Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks - staff seemed a little down but the ice cream was delicious and we'd definitely pop in again if in the area

We spent a week in and around Pateley Bridge, and my real weakness is my sweet tooth! So when we spotted G&T;'s ice cream parlour on the way to a local attraction, we promptly put it on our list of "must visit" places... and we weren't disappointed!

As well as yummy ice cream, they now do ready made take away sandwiches! We were on our way to meet friends and so it was perfect to just be able to grab some from their fridges! Perfect! Thank you G&T;’s

Travelling past looking for somewhere to have a late snack lunch. Stopped as sign said they were open and served hot and cold food. Nice looking menu but told they didn't serve after 2pm. Suggest they change their sign!

After weeks of sunshine here in the uk we decided to nip up to Harrogate for a couple of days. Venturing out to nearby Rippon we decided to pop across to G&T;'s ice cream. Despite it being a rainy day, this visit definitely perked things up again. The ice cream parlour was very clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Plenty of GF options which was a bonus, gf ice cream can be limited in my experience.

Great choice of Ice Cream with some very original flavours. If you are passing then i recommend that you drop in.

Walked here whilst stopping near by, the ice cream is to die for. Sensibly priced too.clean and tidy pleasant staff too.

Lovely ice cream parlour with plenty of seating both inside & out. The choice of ice cream flavours is great and they are all very well presented. The food, cakes, drinks and snacks are as good as the ice cream. Staff very nice and friendly. Parking well set out. We will be back

So we stopped off here for a quick ice cream on the way back from a lovely walk around the National Trust at Fountains Abbey!

It’s Father’s Day and my family and I came for some coffee and ice cream. We came in to find the coffee machines been already turned off before closing. Usually working in hospitality I know you shouldn’t start clearing down until closing time. We couldn’t even get a piece of cake half an hour before closing because they had already put them away. Also the staff were very abrupt and very miserable. The atmosphere in the place was dull, maybe play some music to lighten the mood? Overall I was very disappointed with my trip.

We arrived at 17.20 having misread the website (they open until 17.30 in the summer holidays). Despite the closed sign being up the lovely ladies served us & made my mums 65th birthday!!! We’re local & will make sure that we bring all of our visitors from now on! Thank you so much.

I’ve been here many times, and it is amazing. The staff are very kind, the food is very fresh. When I’m with my Nan and Grandad I always ask to come here.

Called in for Sunday brunch, great place and good menu, super staff and all food cooked fresh. Most pleasant environment, will definitely be calling again.

We've been a few times now and are never disappointed. I had the ginger ice cream today and it was lovely! Looking forward to my next visit already.

Don't live too far away but I don't need an excuse to go for an Ice Cream. My favourite flavour is Honeycomb Explosion. Am a regular visitor to this light, airy, spacious Ice Cream Parlour/Café. Cakes and Scones are delicious too. Can highly recommend.

really enjoyed our visit to g&ts; today was made very welcome and we all enjoyed very much and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Will be going back very soon for alot more visits for there delicious sandwiches and of course the best ice cream ever

Brought my nephew here today because he loves his proper ice cream milkshakes and he was not disappointed!! He's been raving about it since and is already planning his next visit! Great place, great menu, love the ice cream!! A must for a visit!!

As always the ice cream was lovely and the service was very friendly. Makes a nice treat when visiting Fountains or Brimham :)

Every visit we have made (more than 20) is always a positive experience. The family who own & run this ice cream parlour & cafe are to be commended. You won't be disapointed in the service and the high quality of the ice cream & food avaialable.

Ended up driving here for a bacon butty ,also got the scotch eggs to take out which are great and the coleslaw ,got an ice cream and a dozen fresh eggs and headed on back .

I called a few days in advance to check opening times- no problem as open until 3pm, albeit on arrival...

Coffee great,but at £5.70,beef sandwich could have been better.Ideal stop off,comfy chairs and see all kitchen

What a great cafe.... The ice cream is absolutely delicious, and the choices are huge! Their cakes are just as...

Passed this ice cream parlour on the way home and did a U turn to visit it. Well worth it...

It's been a long time since we last came here for an ice cream treat, so as we were passing...

Just had to stop here for an ice cream dessert, only a short drive from Fountains Abbey. I had a...

Came across by absolute chance ... satnav had sent me the incorrect direction to local national trust property but thank goodness it did!

A quick stop for some ice cream and a coffee...as a family we managed to sample blood-orange sorbet, Lemon Meringue, salted caramel, honey comb and pistachio ice creams, all delicious! I had heard about the quality coffee and we weren't disappointed. Lovely place!

I have visited this little gem over the last 2 months and I urge you all to call by. Lovely coffee, cake and fabulous ice cream . The staff are so friendly and polite.

Visited here while camping close by. Ice cream is absolute heaven! Varieties included rhubarb and ginger, choc mint,strawberry ripple,rum and raisin, fruit and nut, bubblegum, chocolate and traditional vanilla. We even treat our bichon Oscar to a gravy bone ice cream which came in a little tub with a bone biscuit on top! For 2 cones with 3 scoops of ice cream in each, a dog ice cream and a large coffee our bill came to 12.40. We'd definitely return to try out the other flavours.

A lovely spotlessly clean ice-cream parlour with very friendly staff. A large choice of delicious ice cream. They cater for children's parties and adult afternoon teas. Also have Immaculate toilets

G&Ts is on the road between Ripon and Pateley Bridge and a part we don't normally travel on. We often go to Fountains Abbey and have been to Brimham Rocks - this is in between them. We first stopped and had one of their ice cream sundaes and it was marvellous but noted they did sandwiches. We have returned (after a walk around Fountains Abbey) for lunch. We 'only' had a ham & chutney and an egg mayonnaise & cress sandwich but they were the nicest sandwiches we have had in a long time - proper ham and plenty of it and creamy egg mayo. The prices are right too - well worth a detour ... we will be back.

Ticks all the boxes, nice, clean friendly staff and very nice ice cream. If you like ice cream and are in the area this place is a must.

Really quiet on a warm July Sunday. We sat inside, whilst admiring the new outside patio that was just rubble last time we came. We ordered sausage sandwich, cheese and tomato toasted sandwich and a can of pop. Both absolutely delicious. On leaving we got a flapjack, caramel apple square, bakewell slice and a piece of cheesecake plus 2 ice creams to takeaway. Total cost just over £20- absolute bargain. The blood orange sorbet and raspberry marshmallow ice cream was simply delicious. Quick service but never had a smile from any staff member, which is a shame as they should demonstrate what a great place this is to be in.

Stopped at this ice cream parlour for a bit of a break,Sampled the ice cream from an extensive selection, it was great. Certainly one to return to in future

Excellent food, especially the Scotch Eggs!!! Not the largest variety on the menu but everything very nice, will be back.

This is a lovely little cafe and Ice cream parlour. The food in the cafe is well presented and lovely all homemade even the bread. There are load of different flavours of ice cream all worth trying.

Never been here before but called in after our walk at Brimham Rocks. Not sure why so comments about unfriendly service because the ladies that served us were very friendly. We were going to have ice creams until we saw the cakes; we ended up indulging in a bakewell and coffee cake along with a couple of coffees. Coffee very nice, cake very good but it was the best bakewell ever :) Even had to buy another 2 slices to take home.

The ice cream served here is better that most other similar Ice Cream Parlours around this area. Their Resplith Ripple, named after the village up the road is fantastic, recommended.

Delicious ice creams and sorbet all for a great price. The blood orange sorbet was amazing! Plenty of room indoors and outdoors

Went for a run out and stopped off for a treat. Lovely ice-cream in relaxed nice decor environment. Definitely be back

Love stopping off here after a walk from Grantley. My dog loves it too as not only do they have fab ice cream for humans but a version for dogs containing gravy bones too!

I cannot believe that this ice cream isn't in every shop in town, it's delicious, I remember it when it first began, and just a little tiny shed, but now it's huge and has a cafe serving food and sandwiches. Their are so many different flavours to choose from, and you can take it home too, they have special containers for to transport it, if you haven't been you need to.

Lovely ice cream ...just a shame the staff have got no sense of humour at all ...miserable ...spent £6.30 on 3 cones but wouldnt rush back !!!!!

Placed on the entrance to a working farm is a very sunny yellow ice cream parlour. Being a Sunday was busy on entering a smiley farmer directed us to a parking space (please tell him your disabled as he will give you a near the parlour parking) there's outide seating area, inside opens up to a bright ,comfortable large spaced seating area, you can sample homemade on the premises cakes/ scones which really are a treat on the eye.with a great cafe menu. The icecream counter is an array of Colours and flavours.I had pistachio and coconut /mango my husband mint choc chip and vanilla all made on the premises ,it was delicious will certainly call again to sample the other scummy flavours.a real delight

Every time we go to Yorkshire have to go here! Love it! They also do dog ice cream!!! Wish we could see the cows too as it's a working farm! but always good ice cream!

Every time we come to Harrogate, we visit this lovely ice cream parlour. This time - we went for breakfast - Nut Sundae! The staff are very friendly and helpful - I didn't want the chocolate sauce on my sundae so had toffee sauce instead. The home made waffles were absolutely gorgeous. Well worth a visit - several times!

We spotted a sign for G and T's as we entered Risplith and saw the building as we drove past, intending to go further for our lunch. After a brief discussion, my husband decided we should maybe do an about turn and have a look at the menu on offer.What a delightful place, first impression on entering was how light and airy the place is and spotlessly clean with comfortable-looking furniture.The menu isn't large but does offer a choice of hot or cold sandwiches among other items. My husband had a steak and onion sandwich and I opted for the local sausage - both very tasty we agreed Coffee was lovely - no bitterness.A dessert had to be tried, banoffee sundae - naughty but very nice, the ice cream is so creamy.We will definitely call again. Well done to the two young ladies for their food presentation and courteous service.

We're lucky to have a fair few ice cream outlets near us. This one is a funny one for me. It probably has the best tasting ice cream, with a great choice of flavours. However, the experience - and I've been there a few times - has been marred by the staff being a little unfriendly, almost to the extent that you're an inconvenience being a customer.I've marked it 4-stars due to the quality of the ice cream itself; they get that bit right (which must surely be the most difficult bit!) but customer service isn't top notch. If they get that right, it will be a superb experience.

Stopped here after our hack fall woods walk ,we had a best and a pot of tea it was gorgeous ,we were hungry and ready for it which helped ,the bacon was lovely and crispy and a nice fresh salad ,apart from our muddy boot mess the place was lovely and clean and the staff always so friendly and helpful ! Just make sure have free range eggs in next time .

My hubby and I called in here for a late lunch. We weren't expecting much as it said ice cream parlour but we got inside and there was a large dining area. We ordered steak lettuce and onion sandwiches which were absolutely gorgeous, I think it was the nicest sandwich I've ever had. Followed by scone with jam and cream and the scone was delicious, homemade and very fresh. So glad we called in!

Time to call in for a toastie which was totally home made and delicious, then on to the ice-cream. Flavours which send your taste buds into a spin. This is a regular call and will continue.

We all loved our ice creams in this brightly coloured building. We bought our cornets and sat outside in the sun. The chocolate/orange was particularly delicious, and there was a lovely cherry one as well, I think. The Elderflower could have had more flavour.

Fantastic ice cream all locally made but why oh why cannot the staff at least make a hint of a smile. Takes a chunk off the experience to meet such unfriendly faces selling a five star product!

Called in for an ice-cream. I chose pistachio and hazelnut and my friend had chocolate plus rhubarb and ginger. We had cornets which cost £3 each. The ice-cream is delicious and is worth calling in. They also do other food. Very good.

Had a great drive out near Ripon and came across G & T'S Ice cream where we fancies a quick pot of tea.We were more than tempted by the huge selection of ice creams on offer and nearly opted for one.Decided instead to opt for tea and cake. There was a great selection on offer and very reasonable prices. I had a lovely home made carrot cake and my fiancee had scones and cream.When we call in again we will inquire to the possibility of 'afternoon teas' not sure if they were on offer.Well worth a diversion off the main road if ever you are in the area. Extended dining area that is a lovely space to sit and unwind.

We were on the Dales Mini Run weekend when we were pointed in the direction of G & T's ice cream parlour. It was a warm sunny day and the prospect of choosing from all those delicious flavours of ice cream was mouthwatering! We each had a two scoop waffle cone, which only cost £3.20 each...amazing value as were speculating that one very small scoop would be about £3.50 in London.There are seats inside and out and there is more on offer than just ice creams, coffee, tea, cakes, flapjacks; it really is a lovely place to indulge oneself.

Lovely sandwich's followed by beautiful icecream. I just can't understand why after 2 visits the staff are so grumpy....They never seem to smile which affects the atmosphere. Could also do with some music as it's a big hollow place if there are only a few in. Has so much potential that is not being met yet.

Ice cream was 4/5 very good especially for the price.As was the decor in the parlour, however the staff ,who couldn't even mange a smile, ruined the atmosphere of the whole experience making you feel unwelcome.

We visited G&T on our way home from Fountains Abbey. There is so many different flavours to choose from! They all look lush! I chose toffee and Risplith Ripple (cherry) and it was absolutely gorgeous! Thank you! We will visit again very soon.

We were staying just up the road so were looking forward to going to the ice cream parlour. When we got there we found they had lots of choice and we struggled to decide which to have. We asked the lady serving for her recommendations three times and she ignored us on all three occasions. We enjoyed the ice cream, we thought they were reasonably priced but feel the staff could have been a little more friendly and welcoming.

We found this place quite by accident when out with friends. What a great place. Plenty of parking and a hard standing area for motorbikes. There are tables outside as well as inside. Lots of choice, although we only had snacks, and the ice cream was lovely. Will certainly be back!

Lovely Ice cream in the way to or from brimham rocks / fountains abbey! Lots of delicious flavours snd reasonably priced for local ice cream :)
