Joes in Swansea

Joes was recommended by our Welsh friends and wow, they were right, probably the best ice cream we've had! Went back a couple of times during our stay and if we stay in the area again it would be our first stop!

Always great ice cream fresh from the churn. Not the stuff in pots. Love the creamy flavour. Even had it delivered to the home during LOCKDOWN. My favourite is a North-pole with caramel sauce and chocolate sprinkles, Yum yum!A little of what you fancy does you good.

Generous portions with happy staff, what more could you ask for. Visiting Swansea for a week, will definitely be back.

Wow! I read the reviews and knew I had to try the vanilla ice cream and it was so worth it. It is absolutely delicious, we regretted only having singles the first day and made sure to have doubles the next. The prices were really reasonable, a lot less than I expected to pay, 1.70 for a single scoop of vanilla in a cone or tub and only 10p for sprinkles, and my son got loads of sprinkles. We'll definitely be back!

I had the special of the day, rum and raisins, and I had to admit it is by far one of the most delicious ice creams I had in Europe! I came back the next day for the vanilla one with toppings :)

As a Swansea resident returning to the area after many years away I would love to know what happened to Joe's Icecream. The flavour is different it's extremely overpriced. And when I asked for a Strawberry Sundae I was given a Strawberry Marshmellow Sundae. I has one mouthful before realising and told the waitress of the mistake. She offered me an alternative or my money back. I took the money. Wont be going here again. Branch was the one by St Helen's Rd.

Grew up in Cornwall with clotted cream ice cream but nothing compares to Joe’s absolutely amazing ice cream

Thank you for allowing my niece to change her young babies nappy today I was really appreciated As your toilets were closed the young lady went into the baby changing area to check it was ok to use before we were allowed to use it Fab customer service

The ice cream at joes is amazing. but when I went on a Wednesday afternoon it was very busy. There was lots of children screaming and crying but that might of just been because it was school pick up time. I had a vanilla cone and sprinkles and my friend had a chocolate cone with sprinkles both were very good and were very good price. Amazing edibles but not fine dining.

The fact that there were always queues of people at Joes says how good the ice cream is. Absolutely delicious!

Only stayed 4 days in Swansea (after a 14 year absence) and we managed to eat ice cream in the Mumbles and Swansea branch - sadly these days only takeaway. Even better than remembered!

We just cant miss going to Joe's when we visit swansea or oystermouth best icecream ever . My favourite it the strawberry marshmallow sauce .well worth a visit

Had been told I had to try an ice cream from Joes. Disappointed as although the ice cream itself was nice the cone was stale tasting and I found it to be overpriced.

Who doesn't love an ice cream? This place is beyond your normal scoop from an ice cream van. It's not cheap but it's worth every penny and more!

The best tasting ice cream I’ve ever had from Wales, lush!! Nice and clean little ice cream shop, a must if your in mumbles!

I have been to the parlour many times and enjoyed great ice cream. However with covid there was no sit down experience and I had to take my ice cream outside in a plastic cup.This was an expensive meal given I was now sitting on a wall eating my delux icecream with anyone else who bought a cone from the local iceland.Sorry but you really need to bring back the parlour experience somehow . Until then I will not be returning

The only other place i remember having better ice cream was in Venice, otherwise this was really good, although didn't have the flavours I wanted.

I don’t know the secret ingredient, but this ice cream has been a favourite in Swansea for as long as I can remember, and that’s a long time! The consistency of the ice cream is gloopy and irresistible. Watching the customers scrape at the bottom of their sundae containers when it’s all gone is very entertaining. During the pandemic the internal seating has been removed to allow multiple customers to be served safely at the same time with card payments only. Yum!

The ice cream here is known for being the best there is. So many flavours. Excellent friendly staff.

We have been having Joe's for years and always take the grand children. We love the taste of Joe's and do truly think it is the best we have ever had. It completes our family days our. Heather

Stood in the line to get our ice-cream and when we get in we are told by a very unhelpful lady that you can't have a cone. Why still have great big waffle cones on display if they aren't available?! Only 4 flavours in a tub which I could buy in a supermarket. Would rather have a Ben and jerries! Won't bother again very disappointed

After being told all about Joes we were looking forward to having an ice cream however I can understand due to cv limited flavours are on offer but upon getting to the front I asked what flavours were on offer and the lady pointed to 4 little pots on the desk these were already pre made, I asked if we could have a cone however they were not available, a sign outside would have been helpful stating that it was a limited selection. We then noticed others coming out with cones and apparently if you have vanilla you could have a cone the lady who served us was not very helpful.

Was looking forward to it as my dad and uncle use to bring me when i was child .l know it wouldn't be the same but good manners by staff is a must .wWen your wearing a mask and your behind a screen people Cant Hear you so no reason to be rude.Not the best experience and have had far better sundae.First mouthful a spoon of thick sauce is not the best experience

Being married to a Welshman means he dreams of Joes (and Brains SA) when far from the green, green grass of home. It has to be vanilla, and only vanilla. I got into trouble for the caramel sauce I had on mine 10 years ago but I have to agree it is the best vanilla you'll ever have :)

You can’t beat a Joes. All there stores throughout Swansea are amazing. They adapted throughout lockdown with bundles which we had on quite a few occasions. If your in Swansea joes is a must have!!

Ice cream was lovely,very tasty. Moody older lady on the door though and definitely didn't give a service to remember. Yes it is busy, yes everyone has to be safe but you don't need to be so grumpy.

Chocolate marshmallow sundae 🍨. Beautiful. Just what was needed. Great staff. Fast service. The only place to have icecream in South Wales.

This is ‘famous’ in the area so needs to be visited. Although there was a short queue, it moved quickly because they have a number of tills. A good choice of ice cream and tasty.

Very nice ice cream! 😋 Will definitely be going again before we leave later this week. The fudge ice cream is wonderful.

I don't live in Swansea, but everytime I visit Joe's is my first stop. The ice-cream can't be beaten.

Really lovely atmosphere in this place. I've been coming to Joe's in Mumbles for all my life and it never disappoints! The ice cream is absolutely top notch, and the staff are always pleasant. Always clean in this Joe's and is situated beautifully in the heart of The Mumbles.

Best ice cream in the world Num Num Num Been eating for 30+ years and hope I can get it for the rest of my life 👍

Can't beat a Joe's! It's the best in the world! Used to be partial to a north pole as a kid, now I'm a chocolate sundae kind of guy.

Delicious ice cream, lots of nice flavours but for me it has to be vanilla. Super creamy and soft, nice with a little raspberry sauce.

Served quickly. Had several different items as there were 4 of us. They didn’t quite understand the order so one was done wrongly but we still accepted it as all of the ice creams are lovely. We will return

If you are visiting the Swansea area you must try a Joe's ice-cream. It is delicious. The main parlour is at St Helens Rd with a smaller one at Mumbles. ENJOY!

fabulous ice cream only fault very expensive the qualitiy speaks for ifself by the crowds who call wish it was cheaper for the less forunate to buy

Been going to joes since I was a kid as a treat and there’s no other ice cream better I always go for vanilla so fresh and tasty.

Joe's ice cream is an institution, it has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, it really is the best ice cream in Wales. A statement agreed but try it for yourself.

The best ice cream on the planet and you never know you might just see a royal. We tend to stick with the vanilla as it’s so creamy and tasty and then you can add sprinkles and wafers and the like. We’ve been coming here for years and it’s never let us down although it can get very busy in the summer.

Worth travelling to Wales for this ice cream. Delicious ice-cream. Staff are helpful and friendly. Brings back childhood memories

Joe's is an ice cream parlour. The ice cream they serve is simply the best I have ever tasted.

What a lovely place to have an ice cream. So many flavours and tastes really nice . Would recommend to anyone on a hot or cold day delicious.

Never tasted any icecream better than joes, the taste is unique and it’s so creamy , I am happy to just to have it plain with chocolate sprinkles on it’s just unbeatable x

I've known the pleasure of Joe's ice cream since the 1950's. Their fame is growing all the time, they've even had a royal visit this month!! You've never had ice-cream like it

Not just any ice cream but the best in Mumbles! Nice lace to meet and chat with family and friends. Very clean place, nice cakes and good coffee!

Went with my daughter for ice cream and had a fab time. Staff were great and a ice cream was as always, amazing.

Joe’s ice cream .... just “The Best” for us (lucky enough to live nearby) we just come back time and again and our children and grandchildren (& us) consider it the place to go for simply delicious ice cream. Try the ice cream birthday cakes too ...amazing !!

Best ice cream in all of the UK! 5 STARS! I go there all the time with family and every time it knocks my socks off. Definitely need to try the Knickerbocker glory if youve never been

Best ice cream in Wales. Great value for money. Friendly staff who were happy to help me. Not a problem with my visit

Always a treat to go to Joe's it great even on a cold day like today ,for me a chocolate or fudge Sunday is a must ,my husband like just plain ice cream, the coffees are great also .

Best ice cream in the world! The perfect addition to a sunny day at the seaside. Staff are always lovely too. Can’t recommend enough if you’re going to Mumbles on a trip.

I have been eating Joe's ice cream whenever I can since the early 1970's and over all that time the taste and texture of their vanillas has remained the same - it is just the best and there is nothing else to say really!

Always excellent service and ice cream as always consistent. The only criticism is that it is very very expensive!

The best ice cream ever, staff always polite and helpfull, only had a coffee and ice cream but was perfect

We stopped here as many people had said we needed to try it out. Staff were helpful and friendly. I was slightly disappointed with the selection of icecream flavours. Icecream tasted good but not the best icecream parlour I have been too.

Great flavours and simply yum! Tried vanilla, mango and peppermint crisp all lovely but vanilla topped the lot!

Joe's Ice cream is delicious. I never miss an opportunity to have one summer or winter. A two scooper with nuts and chocolate. Yummy!!

If you ever fancy some ice cream this is the place to go ! it’s the nicest Ice cream we have ever tasted !we go here through the summer months all the time and occasionally during the colder ones ...... because it’s so good !

Just exceptional Ice Cream , nothing else comes close .....all the reviews you read and hear word of mouth ....it's all true ... .truly in a league of its own for Ice Cream.

For anyone visiting the Mumbles, a Joe's is a must (however I have to confess I don't like it that much as it's too sweet for me). My family will tell you this is the best ice-cream in the area, if not in Wales!!!

Best ice cream ever , coffee sundae, strawberry/ chocolate marshmallow sundae, fudge, all of it is simply deliciousness !!!!!

Famous ice cream parlour within Mumbles which does a large variation of ice cream, however my favourite is their famous vanilla. Definitely recommend going to Joe's.

Excellent and award winning ice cream enjoyed in all weathers. Who needs flavours when the vanilla ice cream is this good!

Delicious,creamy, smooth icecream absolutely delicious with any of the array of sauces, nuts or chocolate. Staff always polite and well turned out.

It was pretty cold when visiting Swansea for a few days but still had to visit Joes! I love the strawberry marshmallow sundae but also had to try the October only toffee sundae which was also great. Always return here when in the area.

Recently went to Mumbles and popped into Joes, I have to admit I am surprised by the comments. We all thought the nice cream was nice but nothing special, not a huge selection of flavours either.

Incredible Ice cream! Never had such creamy smooth ice cream! If you go to mumbles you must go to joes it’s like a family tradition/rule!

Best ice cream ever !!! Been going to Joe's for ever, a family tradition you can't visit Swansea and not pay a visit.

it is good ice cream but honestly not the excellent one. because the only ice cream shop available in Swansea, it might consider the best.

Best ever ice-cream, great selection and variety on offer. Worth a visit if your in swansea. Teas and coffees available too.

Best ice cream in the world and I have travelled to many places in the world. Enjoy ice cream and a stroll along Mumbles on sunny day. Its our Welsh treat!

Joe's serves absolutely incredible gelato. It's the best I've found outside Italy 🇮🇹 ❤️ We visit Joe's every time we come, which is several times per year - rain or shine it's the place to be!

Joes ice cream is the best and no visit to Swansea is complete unless you have a Joes. A tradition of mine and now my daughters, the ice is amazing and so many ways to have it!!

When you get to Mumbles ,locate where Joe’s is and get your priorities right This is the best you will ever taste in the UK and remember for ever Fabulous

Whilst visiting The Mumbles our friends recommended visiting Joes for ice cream

A unique tasting ice cream you won't find anywhere else in the world.... I alway buy a huge tub to take home and store in the freezer comes in handy when people call round the house. Loved to know the secret recipe...

Lovely ice cream. Everything is lovely in there. I always order a Christmas cake. There is always friendly staff.

If you don’t try a Joes ice cream when visiting Swansea then you will really miss out. The taste is very individual and unrivalled

Gorgeous ice cream and helpful staff who let us try before we committed. Cookie sandwich was too much but that's why I enjoyed it.

In Penarth, Wales I was told by a teenager that I had to get ice cream at Joe’s in the Mumbles. Soooo, I had to go. Good price. Good ice cream. Only a handful of flavors.

Whenever my friend comes to Swansea she has to have a Joe's. It's my favourite ice cream. It's a bit pricey but great for a treat once in a while.

The best gelato in town! Simply smart, neat and clean ice cream shop. Friendly and smiley staff. Reasonably priced!

A must do if you come to Swansea. Freshly made vanilla ice cream .... don't be tempted by their frozen flavoured offerings. Just awesome.

Undoubtedly there is no comparison or competition to joes icecream. My only problem with this place is the staff , everytime I go there lately the tables are dirty and littered with used cartons, therefore you cannot sit down unless you want to move this mess yourself ...seems like there us no adult supervision here just youngsters doing what they do , need someone in authority to organise the place..

The ice cream parlour is not.exactly a modern place but you lose on ambience you gain in flavour. Joes is without a doubt a Welsh superstar and a must visit if you like ice cream and are in the area.

I haven’t lived in Swansea for years & a trip to Joes reminds me of my childhood. The ice cream tastes as good now as it did then! Delicious

If you're after quality Italian-Welsh??!! ice cream, go to Joes. The locals rate it highly and you won't be disappointed. The sit-down experience is family oriented. Kids love ice cream more than adults. So if you're looking for a romantic spot for two here, you will be disappointed. If I was in that position, I'd still go here and take it away. They do a good coffee here too!

Amazing icecream! Glad to say it lives up to its reputation! The classic Vanilla is amazing! And at surprisingly affordable prices

Had heard so much about wonderful Joes ice cream but a bit disappointed to be honest. Ice cream flavour choice not very extensive and a bit strange. Service uninterested. Seating area drab and old fashioned. Worth the walk along the prom for better ices at Verdis in our view.

Marvellous ice cream. Tastes of summer days as a youngster. Lovely memories and a taste that will never be beaten (perhaps only by Bayliss - another from my youth in Swansea; but long gone now). The best ice cream and the best thirst quencher.

You can't visit Mumbles without a trip to Joe's! The very best ice cream we've ever had. I had the strawberry marshmallow North Pole and man it was lush! Would fully recommend x

Toffee sundae and chocolate sundae were awesome as usual. Friendly service, love this place. Some seating still available until after 8pm.

Have been coming here for years, to the mumbles one and the one just outside Swansea centre. Will always recommend!

Only people from Swansea really appreciate joes ice cream, there is nothing else like it, it has a unique taste of its own. Holiday makers etc, try Joes and get hooked on it & return again, again and again

Majority of staff serving are young boys and girls who are smart, friendly and welcoming. In my opinion the ice cream at Joes is the best in the world! A long standing Italian family Cascarini's now called simply Joes. People who visit Swansea know about the ice cream here as a must have! Great service, fantastic food, amazing ice cream, love it!

Joes is the best ice cream you will ever taste!!! 🍨 Mumbles is a really lovely chilled place for a walk for couples and families😎

If you visit the Mumbles Joe's is a must stop, a treat what ever the weather best in the sunshine thou as you stroll along the front to Mumbles pier. Don't tell anyone thou it's a secret to keep to your self.

Love love love Joes ice cream. If I was on death row and had to choose my final desert, Joes all the way. Fabulous

Ice creams are Yummy. Need I say more? Yes, there's a selection of cones and the staff are lovely and friendly and helpful and able to cope with a queue's and fussy customers with a smile. Hot drinks are served here and suitable for wheelchairs and Buffy's. Thank you for the lovely time.
