Jelberts in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Fairly good ice cream. A smile doesn’t hurt, though 😄

They do one thing and do it the best it can be. Vanilla ice cream. Choose if you want a flake, clotted cream or as it comes. Brilliant!

Quirky independent shop, selling one flavour and one flavour only, but its the most delicious Vanilla ice cream you will ever taste! A must visit if you are in the area but be quick when it's all gone its gone until the next day!

I now live in Australia and have done for 18 years. I miss Jelberts ice cream. It’s the greatest ice cream I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had gelato in Roma at the Trevi fountain, eaten at the greatest restaurants in Sydney and London.

Quite simply the best vanilla ice cream I’ve ever tasted, we’ve been going here since the mid eighties and I’m glad to see the next generation running the show. We will be back for a tub . a flake and clotted cream

Introduced to jelberts by a friend whose family are from that part of Cornwall and returned to see if it was as good as nostalgia told me. It is, still delicious. Normally I have ice cream in a tub but it has to be a cone with clotted cream and a flake. The best.

Seriously good ice cream! On nice days during the season they can stay open past the official closing time.

Best ice cream in Cornwall by a country mile.

They only do one flavour of ice cream but that's because they do it so incredibly well! Definitely check it out if you're in Newlyn.

The best vanilla ice cream in the entire world!

Not usually a fan of vanilla but definitely a fan of this one, topped with clotted cream of course.

The best ice cream. Had a tub with clotted cream and it was delicious. Staff really friendly. Highly recommended.

lovely experience, brilliant ice cream extra thick and creamy

Very friendly staff and great quality ice cream

A small store, but top quality ice cream, I felt like I was kissing a cow when I had the first bite, amazing taste, highly recommended!!!

Came down to Cornwall from London and wanted a traditional Cornish ice cream and Jelberts did not disappoint. Ended up coming back twice because it was that good.

Very much on form this year. You'll need to try hard to find better. Delicious!

Awesome! If only I could take some home!

Tried here for the first time today after a visit to Mackerel Sky, the ice cream is exceptional. They only do one flavour, vanilla, but they do it the best!

Best ice cream on the planet....always have a tub and lots of clotted cream on top. Been coming here for 45 years and the standard is the same year in year out. Every time I venture home, I make sure to visit as soon as possible.

Trust me you’ve never had an ice cream like this one. There’s only one vanilla flavour, but it’ll definitely surprise you with its super creamy texture, milky fragrant and richness.

Very ordinary ice cream,I just don’t understand the hype.

Best ice cream I've ever had! I am not a fan of vanilla ice cream but these ones are heavenly. Freshly made with a secret recipe. The clotted cream on top is incredible. This is a must when visiting Cornwall 🤩

Met a man called fergal of the path who highly recommended this place to us. He swore was the best ice cream ever. Met him again on the path yesterday in Penzance and asked him did he get his ice cream. He said the young man was so rude to him he decided not to buy an ice cream. His story is so rude and discriminatory the 8 of us decided not to bother buy ice creams here either. God knows how many people he will tell this story to. That young man needs to learn to never judge a book by the cover and the power of word of mouth. He'd not work in any of my businesses that's for sure.

Tucked away in the picturesque fishing village of Newlyn, there's an ice cream shop that's a true Cornish gem. With each scoop, they serve not just ice cream, but a piece of local heritage. The ice cream itself is a creamy masterpiece, a celebration of simplicity and quality. It's the perfect sweet treat to enjoy as you stroll along the harbor, basking in the beauty of Newlyn.

Cute peculiar place only selling one old fashioned ice cream flavour: vanilla. Absolutely delish! Choose a chocolate flake or clotted cream. So good!

We've been coming here for over 40 years. If you want a choice of flavours, toppings, cones etc then this is not for you. But if you want awesome vanilla ice cream, with or without clotted cream, then this is as good as it gets. 🥰

Best ice cream in Cornwall drive 130 miles to get an ice cream

The best ice cream in the world! Only one flavour - vanilla - top it up with some clotted cream and a flake!

Locally made plain vanilla cornish ice cream. Choice of cones or tubs available. With cream and or flake. Very simple but quality. In the tourist season it has been known to sell out. Visited last on the 1st May bank holiday and it had a que most of the time. Local carpark nearby just over the bridge and around the bend. It's only a takeaway service.

I never ever order vanilla ice cream, but this is possibly the best ice cream you’ll ever have. Made fresh daily and super super fragrant, and the owner is amazing! A little sad bc I don’t stay here but I know I’ll be craving for this ice cream often :’) I’ll definitely come again if I come back to Newlyn in the future

The best ice cream we’ve ever had!!! Amazing !

Superb ice cream, we’ve been known to have x2 in one day having driven to Newlyn twice to achieve this, well worth the trouble. I recommend Jelbert’s to anyone I know who is visiting Cornwall. Can’t wait for the next one, YUM YUM !!!!!

Best ice cream in the world, visited in September

Jelbert's had been at the top of my places to visit list for years and finally today we got to try Jelbert's iconic vanilla ice cream with clotted cream and a flake. Literally nothing better on a sunny October Cornish day. This place is described as an institution for a reason

Ice cream pilgrimage. Staying in Hayle someone recommended Jelbert's and we were not dissappointed (see photo)

Good homemade ice cream. One taste.

This is not the first time we have eaten ice-cream from here. Polite and friendly gentleman serving us. The ice-cream is wonderful. A 'muzt' if you visit the area.

Fantastic vanilla ice cream!! No other flavours but none needed when it’s this good! ❤️❤️

Great staff and lovely ice cream! :)

Called in whilst on holiday in Cornwall after seeing James Martin on tv saying this was the best ice cream. He wasn’t wrong it was delicious! Only 1 flavour vanilla but that’s all you need, make sure to top off will a blob of Cornish clotted cream and a flake and what more could you want! We were served by 2 lovely pleasant girls and will call again on our next holiday. Well worth a visit to this lovely shop.

We had read about Jelberts and were keen to visit and try this wonderful ice cream. It did not disappoint! This is hands down the best vanilla ice cream I have had. They just sell vanilla ice cream, that’s it…. (You can get flakes) That’s everything that’s needed. £2.30 for a massive single scoop or cone. If you love ice cream, it’s a must. Thank you Jelberts.

The idea of only one flavor option in an ice cream shop is a new concept for me but the vanilla was not disappointing. The waffle cone was the crispest I have ever had. I couldn’t decide if the ice cream or the cone was better. Friendly warm service. I would go again.

Absolutely delicious, must have with cream & flake for the full experience. Even my ither half who only likes whippy ice cream enjoyed it.

Visited Jelberts many times over the years. You've simply got to go if you are near Newlyn. No other ice-cream comes close to their's just simple "iced" cream with an extra dollop of clothes cream and flake in a tub. What more could you ask for...bliss 🍦💕

They only sell Vanilla here(no fancy flavours!), but definitely do not be put off by this! There are however some toppings and flakes etc. you can choose from. This is probably one of the nicest Vanilla ice creams in Cornwall! Clearly home made and very authentic tasting! Staff were also really pleasant and friendly. Well worth a visit for ice cream fans!

The Best Ice cream I have ever tasted, and great value. I always drop by when I am in Newlyn. My favourite is a double tub with clotted cream.

New owners but quality of ice cream maintained. Very friendly service. It’s so nice to get homemade rather than the standard stuff!

Siamo andati ad assaggiare questo famosissimo gelato... ok buono ma nulla di eccezionale forse siamo abituati bene in Italia.

The best ice cream anywhere… (& I’ve been to Italy many times) home made, only vanilla - but how delicious! We always have a dod of clotted cream on top, fantastic!

There's only one flavour, vanilla, with or without clotted cream. And the shop is basic .. no frills at all. But .. it's the best ice cream in the world.

The mix of perfectly smooth vanilla ice cream with a dollop of unctuous clotted cream is sublime. NB no other flavours or dairy free … but that’s almost the point!

Absolutely delicious vanilla ice cream. I bought 2 cones, very generous scoop, very friendly service, would highly recommend. YUMMY! X

After visiting Newlyn to get a fish supper we were puzzled by so many people literally flocking to this ice cream shop. Everyone in the area had a cone or a tub! When you see this kind of devotion you're curious to find out what's the story is. So after the fish supper we went and bought two tubs. Generous scoops reasonably priced and we weren't disappointed. Creamy beautiful confectionery made daily by a family business. Just fantastic!

So many people told us about Jelbert's in Newlyn that we simply had to visit. It was so good that we visited twice on our holiday. Only one flavour, but simply amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

I’m now 50yrs old , but have eaten this ice cream from a young age as my father skippered out of Newlyn. I cannot eat any other ice cream now because nothing compares to the light , pure cream taste of this ice cream ....

Me and my friends visited here yesterday while in cornwall and it was the best ice cream we have ever had! My two friends had clotted cream on top which they loved! I would recommend!

Honestly I love ice cream and I have never ever tasted a classic vanilla ice cream as good as this in my life. If you don't try this you've missed out ! Enjoy Rich, Sam and Fam

Good old fashioned ice cream place this. Homemade Vanilla ice cream and just flakes chocolate on sale. Tasty too! Would highly recommend visiting if in Newlyn

Great ice cream .. topped with Clotted Cream .. amazing.. and the gentleman serving is very passionate about his business .. very very friendly and chatty - Keep up the great work .. if you Visit Newlyn you simply have to visit Jelberts .. In...

There is usually a queue outside this humble looking establishment. That says it all ! Get in the queue and enjoy simple authentic Cornish ice cream. No funny flavours, or special cones. You don't need them here !

Jelbert's does what it does -- serve the best icecream. You can have vanilla, vanilla or vanilla. They make it just up the road and trundle it fresh to the shop.

They only do one flavour, Vanilla, but it is the best vanilla you will ever taste. You can have a chocolate flake! Take away only. TRY IT.

Superb vanilla ice cream. Cold, lovely vanilla flavour, excellent texture. Two scoops in a tub and all at a very reasonable price, served with a smile. If you like vanilla Cornish ice cream, look no further.

Jelberts used to be very special with unique tasting ice cream. Unfortunately that is no more. We have visited Jelberts for years but now (April 22) the ice cream is actually tasteless and was actually crystallised. We think that the original Mr Jelbert has sold...

An ice cream parlous with only one flavour -you must be joking, but no, Jelberts make traditional Cornish ice cream and it is fabulous. You really would not want any other flavour than this delicious clotted cream delight. It's old-fashioned and quirky and all the...

Gorgeous home-made ice-cream served the old-fashioned way. Absolutely the best value for quality. ~Tubs, wafers and the usual cornet topped with a flake of chocolate of course.

We’ve just been to Jelbert’s for the first time in several years and for anyone who has’t been able to get down here to taste it, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that it’s just closed for the year. The good...

The best ice cream in the world. Been having since a kid in the 80's and still a double tub with clotted cream and a flake, mmm

The Best Ice Cream I have had ever. Thankyou very much

Recommended by the landlady of the cottage we hired. Walked from Heamoor to Newlyn via the seafront. Very scientic walk and well worth a visit. One flavour ice-cream but amazing taste. So glad we walked there

It sells ice cream. Vanilla. Cornish. Delicious.

The most perfect vanilla ice cream you could of ever hoped for with the most divine clotted cream you can ever imagine. 10/10

Excellent vanilla ice cream, note that currently cash only, no cards

Lovely little find in Newlyn, but for visitors to be aware it’s just the one Cornish vanilla flavour (but very tasty). However it’s the addition of clotted cream which is truly unique. If you want to take it even further then flakes are optional too. Good to see all tubs recyclable and wooden spoons available so massive thumbs up for environmental responsibility. A Cornish institution but can’t quite compete with other local producers purely due to the single flavour. The only reason it’s not 5*. Reasonably priced. Would recommend.

We happened across this wonderful ice cream shop whilst walking through Newlyn. The vanilla ice cream is wonderfully tasty and reminded me of how ice cream tasted when I was a child. Highly recommend adding a flake and a dollop of clotted cream for ice...

The best ice cream we had in Cornwall. Cash only but there is a close cashpoint.

Lovely ice cream, not the best I’ve tasted but certainly worth a visit, especially for the clotted cream. Very friendly staff. Cash only when we visited so make sure you have cash.

First time having an ice cream with clotted cream on top. Was delicious! Will definitely be having it again 😋

The most delicious vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had! Well worth a trip from Penzance to Newlyn. Thanks

My son is a 12 year old ice cream connoisseur, having literally tasted ice cream across the globe (we travel a lot) and he said it’s the best he had ever tasted. ‘Nuff said!

Absolutely amazing ice cream! Loved it! Me and my wife came a few days ago under the recommendation from a friend about 'the best homemade Cornish ice cream you will ever have' - it did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend to others to try it!!!! Wish it was on my street so I can have it everyday and not almost half a days drive away :(

Lovely as it has always been, great chatty service, and wonderful ice cream. Hopefully it won't be another 20 years before I can have some again!

A very simple and traditional Cornish ice cream shop. The homemade clotted cream In addition to the standard Cornish ice cream is delicious. Definitely one of my favourite ice cream shops in Cornwall!

Lovely ice cream, great service.

All 3 flavours were spot on, including good old vanilla. Very creamy, no crystally bits (is that a word?), perfect level of flavour.

Nothing fancy but they do it right. They only offer homemade clotted cream vanilla ice cream, which is great and tasty.

If you are in Newlyn try ice cream from a someone different and Jelberts is the place ti visit. A family run producer which is freshly made every day.

Best ice-cream I've ever had! If you're going it can be difficult to park. Also recommend getting it with a flake AND clotted cream. Go hard or go home...

Have always come here. Very good ice cream. Nice staff. It is in a nice area, however it can be difficult to park.

Delicious ice cream just as James Martin said !

amzing ice cram clotted cream and flakesdedifdj

Great ice cream consistently. Just one type, so easy choosing, but one type done extremely well. For extra indulgence add clotted cream 🍦

Delicious vanilla ice cream topped with clotted cream, 2 scoops for me in a tub, 1 scoop in a cone for the wife. The short queue was well worth the wait.

Still as fantastic as ever! Their legendary ice cream is always the best treat

Having grown up in Penzance and often had an ice cream from Jelberts. I moved to the north of England 20+ years ago. Started a family etc. Now I bring the family back to Penzance every year to visit Grandparents. A must on every trip...

Who’d have thought putting clotted cream on ice cream would be a taste sensation! There was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited 11/10 - would recommend.

Best vanilla ice cream in Cornwall

The best ice cream. You know its good if they only do one flavour but still have queues down the street. I have been going there all my life and now I don't live nearby I make a point of visiting whenever I am down.

Utterly delicious traditional ice-cream. Tastes clean and healthy! 😄
