Luchini's Ice Cream Parlour in Allerdale

Our 3 year old son is Coeliac. Most ice cream shops are really accommodating. They will use a clean scoop and take from an in opened tub. I appreciate it might be a little inconvenient for the shop attendant but for the sake of a 3 year old kid you'd make a little effort. They made us feel anl total burden and did not accommodate us in any way. Won't be going again.

An afternoon treat of delicious ice cream with lots of flavours to choose from. Friendly staff too. We even bought a 1l tub to take home!

Saw this place while walking round town and was tempted by their selection of flavours. I got a one scoop portion of the coffee ice cream. It was a small portion but also cheaper than other ice cream places so not an issue, and actually was the perfect amount. Very good coffee flavour and good texture. Not gelato but was very nice ice cream and I'd happily come back for more.

We were lucky enough to happen upon the owner in one of his vans,in a lay-by over looking one of the lakes! We had a really nice chat and of course an Ice Cream,which was very nice. We did find the shop in Keswick,but unfortunately there was a power cut in the whole area so couldn't sample the taste again - however we will return!

Wonderful milkshake made with ice-cream, just like I had as a child (a long time ago!!). Might take several visits to work through the flavours…..

Excellent ice cream from the ice cream van, good price and great taste. Great service with a smile 😊

The Ice Cream was good - yet the suspicion of the member of staff that I was trying to be dishonest about what I had bought would make me never go back! She asked what I had - I told her and then in front of me doubted my truth with another member of staff! All over a 30p flake! Disgraceful!!!

Shrink into the shade Ben and the whole lot your ilk. You need 2 I's and 2 H's in yoor surname. This is what ice cream is all about... Aw well, go on, stick a flake in it. Yum Yum

We always call in whenever we are in Keswick, their homemade ice-creams are delicious, with lots of flavours to choose from. The staff are always very welcoming and provide excellent service, even when its really busy. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Keswick, authentic Italian ice cream in the beautiful lakes. Perfect

Ice cream from Luccinis is one of the things we look forward to when visiting Keswick. Always great service from a family business, friendly staff, and such a choice of flavours. My personal favourite is the black cherry. Highly recommended.

Lovely staff and very helpful. Enjoyed the milkshakes and went the extra mile to make my fussy eater happy so was smiles all round xx

Was here at the weekend 05/06. I remembered coming here a couple of years ago. Staff were very friendly and, although covids in place, managed the hot weather very well. Now for why we came back, the ice cream. Loads of varieties on offer the ones we decided on were to die for. Rich and creamy taste was fab. Don't come to Keswick and miss this especially when its hot!!

Me and my family went to the Lake District for the bank holiday weekend and had a lovely time and thought we’d get an ice cream. The flavour was beautiful and I can say I haven’t had better. Definitely recommend the milk shakes. The chose of flavours is never short and a very good variety of choses. Will go again as staff was polite and help in every way.

I adore ice cream but I have to say the chocolate and raspberry cornet I bought was the worse I have ever had. It was icy, watery and tasteless...It ended up in the bin . So so disappointing..

Unhelpful staff. Selection of ice cream ok but the experience was lacking. Many better places to spend your money in Keswick. I won’t be returning and I’m a ice cream fanatic.

Having had really good ice creams at two other locations in Keswick, we decided to try here. Oh dear! So disappointing! Ice crystally ice cream compared to creamy smooth ones at the other places. Also lacking in taste. Sorry but that’s how it was.

Mi novio y yo fuimos aquí mientras estábamos de vacaciones en el Lake District, decidimos venir aquí porque parecía un lugar encantador. Entramos, el helado parecía un poco abultado, pero de todos modos continuamos. Cada uno recibió un helado y pidió una salsa que se puso como un puntito y no por todas partes. Lo peor fue que mientras estábamos pagando vi un pelo en el helado de mi novio y me oyeron decirlo y no dijeron nada al respecto. Así que nos alejamos y comimos el helado como aún estaba sabroso. Siguió comiendo y encontró otro, así que los tiramos decepcionados. Todo esto también es durante los tiempos de corona. La calificación de higiene fue de cinco, pero no estoy de acuerdo con eso.

En primer lugar, dejaron entrar a demasiados a la vez, así que esperamos afuera a que se despejara la tienda. El personal no lleva guantes, máscaras ni viseras faciales.Hay una gran cantidad de sabores para probar, fui por el ferreo roccie de chocolate, el pistacho y el coco en una tina grande.El chocolate no era nada de lo que presumir, ni siquiera era rápido. No tiene sabor a nuez en absoluto. Como el chocolate.El pistacho estaba bien. El sabor era débil. Necesitabas poder saborearlo más.Sin embargo, el coco fue increíble. Realmente completamente o la nuez cruda y tan cremosa. Lo mejor de los 3 con diferencia.Mi esposa disfrutó de un cono de gofres fresco con vainilla y fresa. A la fresa nuevamente le faltaba sabor.Por el precio, esperaba algo especial. Pero no lo conseguimos aquí

Sin máscara, sin pantalla, sin guantes, sin protector facial, solo efectivo y una cantidad excesiva de abuso verbal cuando señalamos que acelerar el motor de la camioneta para cargar sus baterías no era útil para nuestra respiración o el medio ambiente.Nos dijeron que éramos gorrones por usar la papelera pública y F *** O **.Un desprecio del protocolo covid-19 significó que no probamos su helado, por lo que no podemos comentar.

Doesn't look much on the outside, but the ice cream flavours are wonderful - recommend the apple pie and the black cherry, but there's something to suit everyone

Not imprest with vendor near Fitz Park. Ho social distancing no gloves no mask & cash only. Not good Keswick.

Absolutely the best ice cream in Keswick. All home mad and a great selection of other flavours. Lovely service, large tubs to take home. Also, look out for their vans.

This is the ice cream of my childhood - and it hasn't changed, unlike most things. Delightful! And the lady who serves in the shop went the extra mile re helpfulness.

After walking past many lovely looking ice cream parlours in Keswick, we decided to save ourselves for Luchinis as they boast homemade Italian ice cream. Believe me, nothing is remotely italian about it! Staff were slow and the ice cream was tasteless, watery and overpriced, what a disappointment

Stopped while on our D of E expedition at one of their vans. Had a great chat with the guy in the van. Excellent customer service, great ice cream.

Stopped on DofE for Ice cream which was amazing and homemade. The ice cream van driver was a really nice guy.

Stopped off twice at the van on our DofE expedition. First time the whole team brought one of their tasty ice creams after a lovely chat. On the second visit the same lad offered us free Ice cream as a reward for our hard work. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the Keswick area. My new favourite ice cream brand.

Stopped in as a big group for ice creams and milkshakes. All very happy and satisfied. Especially enjoyed the different types of cone. Lovely ice cream.

Visited here with 4 small children , place was heaving so couldn't get a seat. Staff friendly and quick. Ice cream Ok nothing special.

Fab day for a picnic in keswick with ice creams for afters! Thank you for your lovely customer service. We’d recommend to everyone!

Great location in the centre of Keswick for stopping by after a day’s walking. Prices competitive. Only disappointment was that they wouldn’t let us try the flavours, despite the fact that the shop was quiet.

Lots of choice of ice creams etc and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The shop looks great on the inside and there are tables where you can sit down and eat your ice cream and see the views as well :)

We visited this ice cream parlour whilst on holiday in Keswick. I had a milkshake which was one of nicest that I have ever had - there was even some extra to top up the glass - all in all there must have been at least a pint. Yvonne had an ice cream which she really enjoyed. There were loads of flavours to choose from. The service was also friendly too. We would definitely recommend it as a great place to visit if you like delicious ice cream!

Got ice cream from the van at a show. Absolutely delicious. Had to go back for more. Highly recommended.

Such lovely, proper, ice cream in a world of whippy fluff. Had to return to try it again just to be certain! 😋

Beautiful ice cream very nice service with a very polite young man serving very reasonable price and very good quality

It's a must if you are a in Keswick. We chose strawberry mint and my son had a double of coconut and Nutella. Very creamy and flavoursome and reasonably priced.

such good flavours and served with a smile what more could you want? Proper Italian ice cream made locally.

Just bought my daughter a milk shake. Made with ice cream of her choice. £3.50 to take out. A bit pricy but she said it was very good.

Dropped in for a tasty and refreshing ice cream whilst walking around the lake. Variety of flavours on offer.

Served by friendly ladies, lots of flavours to choose from in this little cafe on the corner. Watch the world go by or fill a few minutes waiting for your bus as we did.

Often call in here for ices with the family and always get great service from the lovely staff plus the best ice cream ever. Long established Keswick business who maintain high standards and do everything very well. Great experience

Yet another return visit as I called through Keswick which didn’t disappoint. This is ‘proper ice cream’, not the soft whipped air some vans pass off as ice cream!! Served by polite and friendly staff, thank you.

Called at the van by the leisure centre, with 30 school students! The man serving was fab, really quick, helpful and friendly. PLUS excellent ice-cream, as I know to expect from Lucini's. Great!!

This looked like a really promising icecream parlour, and was recommended to us by a nearby shop owner. However, my daughter chose a lemon icecream and I chose mango... and we couldn't tell which was which :-( . My son's toffee icecream also tasted very like coffee... a bit disappointing

A traditional ice cream parlour serving a delicious assortment of ice cream. From your traditional vanilla to mango or Nutella. The coconut was however quite simply he nicest I have ever tried.

We stopped off on a hot summers day for a little ice cream treat to take out and we where not disappointed, we opted for the honeycomb ice cream in the sprinkle cone and a Black Forest and they where both perfect..

Very very disappointing. I have never thrown away ice cream before but this was inedible. It tasted like chemicals and was grainy. Yuk. I certainly won't go there again after waiting years for it to be open.

Hi all wanted to tell you that our group of young people wanted an ice cream all 17 of them luchinis is the ice cream for us, great guy positive when all our young people turned up. Our young people want to say thank you

Lovely home-made ice cream and a relaxing place to shelter from a storm. I enjoyed a double waffle cone of chocolate and nutella- yummy!

I've had coconut ice cream from many many ice-cream parlours but none have actually made the hairs on my arms stand up!!! Gorgeous..

On asking if the icecream was gluten free the guy produced a gluten free icecream cone.......to say my daughter and I were delighted was an understatement! Never had she had that - fantastic service!!

The ice cream from here is the best I have ever tasted. Truly amazing you have to queue to get it but boy it is worth waiting for

Fabulous!! A lovely ice cream parlour with plenty of delicious flavours and lovely staff. I reccommend the mint choc chip.

This is a place you absolutely must visit. The best Ice Cream you can eat. And they get visitors year on year and they comeback every year. They even get visitors one year and friends of theirs have recommended them to visit this ice cream ship

I chose mint choc chip & Nutella. Definitely some of the best ice cream I have ever had. Only downside was we felt slightly hurried to eat it as it was getting near closing time & they were putting chairs on tables etc.

We enjoyed a few take away ice cream cornets from this shop, and van, while touring the Lakes, and staying in Keswick. Reasonable price. Very creamy.

We visited Keswick on Sunday morning and spotted Luchini's as we were looking for somewhere to sit down and cool off. Sat outside soaking up the sunshine and enjoying an ice cream (which was massive!), lovely ice cream and lots of admirers of our little sausage dog puppy Luna!

We spotted this ice-cream parlour when we were tired, footsore and hot but just because we were desperate didn't mean that we were easily swayed. We sat inside at a table and were served with three amazing sundaes which had three lots of ice-cream, the flavour of which we had individually selected plus all the additions. The staff are very friendly and I have no idea how three people can give such diverse orders and the staff get them spot on without writing them down - years of practice I expect. We very much enjoyed the chance to sit down and savour our afternoon ice-creams and to take in the information about the company history and be amazed by the collection of toy ice cream vans on display. Ok, we were swayed but by the quality of the ice cream, the reasonable prices and the happy staff. You don't have to wait until you are desperate to be revived by a visit to Lunchinis's.

Amongst the best I have ever tasted. Love the image of the place and certainly well worth discovering it at the bottom of the town centre. Great range of flavours. Friendly staff

We went with grandparents on holiday. It was a rainy day so we sat inside. It was ok but not as nice as Lakeland. However we'd had a few of those so my boyfriend said it was a nice change. It was great for me as I got a gluten free cone. The first time I've had a proper ice cream for years. Would defo recommend.

Well, just OK - and welcomed on a hot day. More interesting was the Luchini ("Luccini"?) family-history: after escaping poverty in Italy, 160 years in England, and still strong and family-owned. So, carry on - and perhaps consider revising the recipe ...

Called here on Thursday,which was a very hot day. Choose Blackcurrant Ice cream, Oreo,Honeycomb Caramel and Coffee. There were 4 of us. All flavours enjoyed immensely. Would definitely recommend.

Called in here on a sunny afternoon. There are plenty of ice cream flavour choices to choose from. We had Rum and Raisin and Honeycomb, both were delicious. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. Highly recommended for a treat when in Keswick.

Visited this place with some friends during our trip to Keswick and was very impressed. Great to see a family run business with so much history and great selection of home made ice creams definitely worth a visit.

Lovely family run ice cream parlour, between us all we had a range of flavours all lovely, highly recommended

Every time we visit Keswick, we have to visit Luchini's Ice Cream Parlour. The range of home made ice creams and cones is amazing with flavours ranging from Rum and Raisen to bubblegum and Oreo cookie. You can eat in or take out as well as purchase these fantastic ice creams from one of their mobile vans that are situated throughout Keswick.

Stopped by for a take away ice cream on a sunny Sunday great friendly service and lovely ice cream- malteser one is delicious .On my list of places to go back to on next visit to Keswick

We were met by a lovely lady serving the ice cream, great customer service. I had the mango and my fiancé had the caramel & honeycomb. Could recommend either of the flavours! Busy enough that you know it must be good but too busy you don't feel welcome when you visit. Will be back.

Very friendly & helpful lady. Think she took a shine to my partner but maybe she does to all the men! She took his Christian name from credit card and addressed him thus forever after. We sat inside and enjoyed really lovely ice cream and later came back for milk shake. Lots of interesting history round the walls, really good to have proper Italian ice cream. Wish we could get it in Devon. We came back later in the week for more even though we were staying in Grasmere quite a few miles away. Don't miss it if in Keswick, near to Booths on opposite side of road.

A lovely sunny summer afternoon and a wonderful choice of ice cream. Had coconut on a cone with a flake, delicious. Wonderful friendly service from happy staff.

We tasted this ice cream from a van near the stone circle in Keswick. It was delicious! What a good idea to have ice cream vans situated near places of interest. After a long walk, the ice creams were very welcome.

Came to the Ice cream parlour and was greeted by a nice woman. Who on the sight of my minor cut forehead (a small climbing accident) was very kind in patching me up before serving some absolutely wonderful ice cream. Me being a big child, went for cookie dough and Oreo both I would highly recommend.

Had a lovely Milk shake and a fantastic Gluten Free Ice Cream

Popped into here after visiting the puzzling place illusion attraction just around the corner. Good fun choice of ice creams that were delicious and good sized portions. The lady that served us was lovely and really nice with the kids. Thumbs up, highly recommended and will go again if in the area!

We visited Luchini's 3 times in our 4 night stay. The sticky toffee pudding flavour ice cream was a big hit but the honeycomb, strawberry and ferrero rocher were all delicious too.

When in Keswick we have a routine. Park car Luchini's for Ice cream. Walk,Golf Walk Food. oh and then Luchini's for an Ice cream before we go home. Staff are friendly, the parlour gets better every time.

We visited the Lakes in June for a week of hiking with friends. In the end we all stopped by Luchini's three times during that week! Great ice cream and very friendly staff! I just wish we had a Luchini's closer to us!

Luchini's is a very friendly family run ice cream parlour, and has been on the go for over 100 years. Lovely home made ice cream with vanila and lot's of other flavours as well. My dog won't eat any other (and neither will we)

lovely ice cream served here. omg...wish I had tried all of them but calories would not allow it....really great staff too. be warned they don't take cards here but cash point across the road.

Had a lovely toffee fudge ice cream from here this week, places to sit inside and out although i took mine to go. Great flavours, lots of choice and friendly staff.

A fantastic range of flavours, we visited a couple of times on our short stay in Keswick.

Called for a nought wafer en route through Keswick and very much enjoyed the experience but it was not the cheapest ice cream we had over the weekend. It was Keswick so premium priced for tourists. They do not just sell vanilla and there are many flavours to enjoy but we have been enjoying vanilla ice cream for many years now and are set in our ways. I think we paid £2.75 each and paid £1.70 for the same ice cream in Silloth a couple of days later!! The latter was better ice cream and gets my 5* vote.

Such a great assortment of flavours. I chose rhubarb and custard and it was delicious! You can also have tea and coffee here and sit inside whilst you enjoy your ice cream.. This place has a great history to it too and is told on very interesting feature boards inside the ice cream parlour.

Popped in for a treat on our way out of Keswick and was greeted by 2 lovely ladies who really know how to treat customers.. They were helpful funny and liked a bit of banter which is the sole reason I'm reviewing and Ice cream parlour... Good work ladies and nice to meet you. (Scouse Jon)

Called in on a really hot day for a cooling ice cream. very pleased with the lovely quality ices and the prompt friendly service. Clean tables and floors with rubbish cleared away promptly. Top quality ice cream and a very pleasant atmosphere.

Lovely little shop now has seats inside and out Lots of lovely flavours home made on site Large selection of model ice cream vans through the ages

Visited this ice cream place and honestly couldn't believe that so many different flavoured ice cream where made .Friendly staff,even gave me a hug.Just good portions and well priced in my opinion. So need to visit this parlour again and again.

A great choice of flavours - we all had something different and tried each others! Often very busy but the queue moves quickly. Be aware that they don't take cards though - we got caught out!

In a 3 day trip to Keswick we visited this shop twice and were impressed with the choice of cones and homemade ice cream flavours on offer. Bubblegum, black cherry, mint choc chip and coffee flavours were all tried and pronounced very good. Also appreciated was the choice of free sauces to garnish the ice cream.

Lovely homemade and fresh ice cream. Different flavours each day. Nice cones. They kept trying to add on extras, but it's easy to say no... The ice cream isn't cheap,mount lovely

Without exception - I have a double cone of Luchini's ice cream every time I visit Keswick - when it's open that is, as unfortunately (and understandably) the shop is closed during the winter months. All the ice cream is made on the premises. I had a scoop of blackcurrant & liquorice with a scoop of pineapple ice cream this time. Mmmm......Gorgeous!

Great choice of ices all made fresh daily on the premises. great personal service will call in again

Great icecream, great staff. Nice atmosphere. Prices are good too. Highly recommended! Kids can't wait to go back.

This is a nice little ice cream parlour in Keswick, with a cozy atmosphere and some interesting decorations. Tablecloths are tremendous! Ice cream good but nothing special.
