Luvians Ice Cream Parlour in Fife

Buen lugar para ir a contraer un virus. Dos clientes vinieron y se sentaron en una mesa muy cerca de mí mientras tomaba mi café. Me mudé a otra mesa libre para lograr un distanciamiento social adecuado. Entonces se me acercó una camarera increíblemente grosera que me dijo que no podía moverme de mesa y que tenía que irme. Le señalé que la gente estaba a menos de 1 m, momento en el que ella recogió mi billete, lo arruinó y lo tiró.Una vez que fue la heladería más bonita de la ciudad.

Disgusting attitude of the small man with no hair that works here. Thinks is ok to talk to customer like they are stupid considering this is a University town most of the customers are not stupid and he needs to look closer to home.

Great selection of delicious ice creams, hard to beat the vanilla but some lovely flavours, try New York cheesecake if it’s available and the lemon cream. Good coffee too.

Estábamos en la calle Andrews para pasear y queríamos un café. Muchas de las grandes cadenas de tiendas, pero prefiero las pequeñas empresas familiares. Encontramos esta tienda y entramos sin estar seguros de si solo hacían helados. Feliz de encontrar que hicieron café y de hecho pastel. Mucho más disponible también si tenía hambre. Ordene en el mostrador y luego obtenga una mesa. En muy poco tiempo nuestro café, té y pasteles fueron servidos por un miembro del personal muy agradable. El café y el té eran de primera clase, y el pastel era brillante, muy contento de haber ido y sin duda será una parada regular para nosotros. Para aquellos que los necesitan, hay sillas altas disponibles, y los asientos no son fijos y se pueden mover para adaptarse a la silla de ruedas o el número requerido en la mesa. Le he dado 5 estrellas ya que suministraron exactamente lo que queríamos de una manera tan agradable. Muchas gracias a todos. También una maravillosa selección de chocolate y helados que informaré la próxima vez. ?

Solíamos ir a la otra heladería principal, pero en las últimas ocasiones la cola ha sido enorme, así que pasamos y luego nos encontramos con Luvians. Este es ahora nuestro ir a la tienda de helados en la calle Andrews. Hay una gran variedad de sabores, el servicio es rápido y las colas hasta ahora no han sido demasiado largas. ¡El helado es encantador! También hay una sentada en la cafetería que aún no hemos probado.

This place has very tasty ice cream and a nice cuppa also. Cakes looked good very pleasant staff would highly recommend

This cafe could do with a bit of a "face lift". Visited today with three friends for coffee and cake, which were ok, but we felt the place needed a freshen up and the toilet was in need of a clean.

Visited here during the Easter weekend. Had a post-lunch ice cream of Rum n Raisin. Most satisfactory.

So much choice it is difficult to decide but any I have tried have been excellent. Often visit after fish and chips to finish off. Service is generally good despite often being very busy.

Mi amiga y yo almorzamos aquí hoy, las dos chicas que nos sirvieron fueron muy groseras y no nos importó nuestra costumbre Nunca volvería y no se lo recomendaría a nadie. No es de extrañar que estuviera vacío a la hora del almuerzo cuando cada otra cafetería / restaurante estaba lleno. Lección aprendida

Ice cream was really good, cafe area wasn't the best though. Pretty dated and not the comfiest to sit in. Staff were very helpful with allergy info.

Good ice cream, lots of variety, quick polite service, average price. Generally have an ice cream here after the fish and chips.

Ya sea que esté buscando un lugar para sentarse y tomarse un helado o simplemente quitárselo, este es el lugar para ir en la calle Andrews. Su elección de sabores es enorme, así que hay algo para todos. Vale la pena una visita.

If you want an ice cream then well worth a visit. Second time I have been and will eat here again. Restaurant like to charge £5 or £6 for small and not always good pudding. So we tend to come here instead after our meal. So many flavours to choose.

There's a great choice of flavours (although I nearly always go for rum & raisin on my first visit of the holiday!) and a choice of cones/tub/oysters/etc as well. There's usually a queue, so it's obviously popular.

The Ice Cream was very good. At the counter we were told to just go through to the sitting area and we would be served. As nobody came to serve us, I eventually went back to the counter to be told to go to the pastry counter and place an order. Not very well organised. However, that was a minor issue as the ice cream was worth waiting for.

We all tried something different and all were equally good. Every time we passed by there was a line so they must be doing something right.

The problem we choosing what to have and each of our choices could not have been better. Superb service as well.

Had to visit here after reading on TA they sold G&T; sorbet. It was soooo good but hubbies mint chocolate chip was good too. So many to choose from will need to come back. Service was quick even though they were very busy.

Nice place in the town centre (that isn't part of a multinational chain) for coffee, their own ice creams - used in the milkshakes so these are really tasty, plus soups, toasties, sweet baking and more. Also sell range of confectionery too plus take away ice creams and sorbets.

Went in for some ice cream for the kids and tea and cake for me and the wife.

Called in with our 2 grandchildren aged 3 and 7. Easy atmosphere, other families also present. Lovely home made soup and a toastie at good value. Pleasant service. Chatted to locals who frewuent here and who said the can have coffee and a pancake for the price of a coffee only in the bigger chain coffee shops ( ,you know who these will be ) in the town.

Visited the cafe on a cold wet Sunday afternoon, with the view that we would be supporting a local coffee shop and not a chain. There were 4 staff propping up the counter when we arrived. No pleasantries and we had to find our own table which we had to clear first. The cafe was not busy. Two tables were occupied. We sat down and waited and waited and waited. We wondered if we had to order at the counter, but no signs to suggest this. Eventually we walked out and discovered the same 4 staff still propping up the counter. Next time we will give our custom to the another local, very good local coffee/ice cream shop in South Street. Being very regular visitors to St Andrews we had a very poor experience here and we will not be back.

Lovely warm welcome by the owner (I think) we had a couple of lovely ice creams in this small but nice ice cream/coffee/food shop. A busy and friendly atmosphere, clean toilet. If in the area go for at least an ice cream, lovely.

Found our way into Luvians for a coffee when browsing in St Andrews. How nice it was to enjoy coffee and cake not from a big chain. Took a table beside big front windows onto the street and enjoyed a rest whilst watching St Andrews world in all its glory passing by. Service was perfectly fine, coffee hot and tasty and great value. Support the local vendors!!

Popped in for a cone and found a good selection of flavours, I had a rhubarb sorbet which was zingy and delicious - not overly sharp or too sweet, would go for that again any time. Husband had seabuckthorn ice cream, which he said was good.

Riquisimos helados hechos por un señor italiano que reside en la ciudad hace muchisimos años. Tienen tambien exquisita bolleria

Why go to a 'chain name cafe' when you can go to Luvians?! Very tasty drinks, Cappuccino and Hot Chocolate(mine, with cream and marshmallows) and a delicious (generous) slice of Tiffin. VERY good value too! DON'T miss this place.

We called in here for a coffee but when we saw what was on offer I had an orange chocolate sundae which was superb my daughter had knickerbocker glory which she claimed was the best ever the coffee was really nice too! Lovely waitress Andrew the other staff where nice and attentive also the kitchen area which is on view was spotless would love to return if we get to St Andrews again

Delicious ice creams and sorbets, so much choice! You can sit in or ke away to eat as you stroll down the street. A favourite every time we are in St Andrews.

Got 4 different cones/flavors for 6 pounds. Cash only. I liked the lemon, but it had chocolate in it. It was not the best flavor combo. Son had the ina brun flavor and liked it. Busy place.

A good spot in the centre of town for a quick coffee, snack or pastry fix. Excellent, real milkshakes. Very hospitable, friendly service.

This has to be THE BEST ice-cream I have ever eaten. Visited on a chilly day & very nearly didn't have ice-cream at all, no idea why I changed my mind (first day of my holiday...you've just got to eat ice-cream!) & am so very glad that I did. I had strawberry and my partner had vanilla. Each was really superb. Delicious taste of the fruit, and none of that nasty lingering sweetness that you so often get with ice-creams which make you need to drink a big bottle of water afterwards. Go here and you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately I live 100's of miles away, so I can only dream of returning...if you are near, have one for me!

People say there's another place in town for ice cream, not to me, luvians is the only place worth going. A great selection of ice cream, more than enough that's for sure. Love this place, cracking staff too.

Quick and efficient service. Sandwiches and toasties and soup are available all day. no outside sitting but coffee and cakes are great for a pleasing seat to rest your weary feet from sightseeing.

Simply lovely! Great selection of ice cream flavours. Good homebaking too. Friendly staff. Worth a visit.

We had a lovely sunny weekend in St Andrews so had to sample the local ice cream and were not disappointed. An array of flavours to suit any palate and friendly staff.

Very disappointed with our visit, we waited 45 minutes to receive our order of coffee and cakes which was incomplete, ice cream was melted and when I approached the owner he said he didn't care!! Charming!

If you are visting St Andrews . You cannot leave with out a visit to the Ice cream shop. Lots of yummy flavours to try out. Be careful you will always want another one mmm

Popped in here for an ice cream. I had trouble in deciding what I wanted as there was such a big selection to choose from! In the end I opted for a small tub of Raspberry Ripple.

Great ice cream but be prepared to queue if it's a sunny day, but the flavours are really great. My favourite is the salted caramel

Service was great, staff very friendly and helpful. Array of ice cream flavours. Allowed to sample before choosing too. Honeycomb ice cream is amazing. Coffee pretty good too.

In St. Andrews for a meeting and then a good wonder round my old student haunts. The weather was extremely cold and I was looking for a warm refuge for a cup of tea without a mammoth queue. At first pass Luvians looked like just an ice cream parlour and gorgeous chocolate shop then I saw there was a small cafe area. Just like old style Italian ice cream and coffee shops.

I have been to Luvians in St Andrews a few times and would try to support it over the other ice cream parlours in the town. The ice cream is good. However, if you are sitting down to have anything in the restaurant, the service is poor. I visited again today with my kids and waited ages. None of the young Girls staffing the shop payed any attention to me or several of the other customers. They were also mixing up orders and had no handle on the situation/no comprehension of what was going on.... It seemed to me that there was a complete lack of leadership and they needed proper management.

Ordered flat whites and tray bakes. The coffee was nothing like a flat white. They were weak, with warm milk not foamed. More like a weak latte. Tray bakes disappointing and tables not cleared or wiped despite lots of staff in duty.

LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE this ice cream parlour. Pooh bear (honeycombe) is my favourite. Its not a trip to St Andrews without a lovely tub of luvians ice cream. Gotta try it

We went twice, selection is vast,. It is the only place I Have ever been to that displays time when vanilla was made.

Good selection of italian style ice-cream. Reasonable priced. Didn't try the cafe which is part of the ice cream parlour but that looked very clean and welcoming as well.

Luvian's in Market Street seems to be invisible to the crowds who flock to the far end of South Street. Well this is my favourite, and I visit every time I am in town. This time I went for sprinkles (as I wasn't paying) There is a great array of fantastic flavours - and a variey of cones and tubs to choose from. There is a cafe area, but I have only ever called in for a cone.

One of the best ice cream parlours in Scotland. Never miss an opportunity for a cone. Do not go anywhere else in St Andrews.

Stopped here for ice cream when out for a stroll during the Lammas fair and market. A nice selection of ice cream flavours. I highly recommend their award winning rhubarb sorbet, delicious.

My wife and I stopped here for a scone and coffee whilst having a wander around St. Andrews. The scone was fresh and the coffee and hot chocolate were very good. The service was excellent and there was a great atmosphere. Well worth a stop if you're browsing in the town. Have a browse in the sister wine and spirits shop - the range is great and, by any measure, the prices are exceptionally competitive.

I went in to buy an ice cream and was given the incorrect change from a £20 note. When I pointed this out to the young lady who served me she said (very nicely) that she would have to get the manager.

Stopped here on our walking tour of St Andrews. Excellent ice cream. Highly recommend the Salted Caramel and the Scottish Tab flavors.

Excellent service. Great coffee snacks and cakes .Have always had a good experience at Luvians. Recommended.

Brilliant amazing excellent these are just some words to describe my ice cream I recommend the salted caramel flavour.

The Ice Cream Choice of Flavours is amazing just like the taste, but the service could have been more efficient.

Very good ice cream delights, however service did not match up, ordered at counter then had a 15 minute wait for order to be served at table, waitresses did not make any eye contact with customers whilst clearing tables, or explain reason for delay.

Been going here for years...Best Ice cream around. Any flavour you want. service is great too. Staff very helpful.

we visited Luvians using an itison voucher. it was very busy & we had to wait a wee while before getting a table. reminded me of the old cafes from the 1960's needs a wee bit of refurbishment, staff were very friendly but extremely busy as most people seemed to be using their vouchers also

Mainly frequented by older customers. Cakes good. Toasties too expensive for what you get, Cappucino used to be best in town,now too milky and not warm enough (on my last few visits) I like the old-world Italian café atmosphere better than the hectic Costa across the road, but get better coffee at Costa.. Usually no queues, table service by lovely staff. I'll keep using Luvian's and hope the coffee improves.

Great sundaes, amazing choice of ice cream, wide range of chocolate including Lindt and foreign chocolates. The only thing that let's it down is the seating area which could do with a makeover

Lovely ice cream sundaes. Had an 'It is on' voucher so doubly good. Only thing that lets the place down is the very uncomfortable chairs, the parlour could do with a makeover. Fantastic choice of ice creams and yummy chocolates to take out too.

We enjoyed 2 generous sized sundaes, the ice creams were delicious, accompanied by raspberries and blueberries, they were a great treat. The café is compact and the scraping of the chairs along the floor means it is not a peaceful experience.

Great ice cream, Fisher and Donaldson cakes, rarely a queu, pity the decor hasn't been touched in years

Plain and simple, best ice cream in St Andrews. Not sure why people queue in the competitor's shops for poorer quality, can only imagine they are attracted by the posher shop fit out

We visited here for a couple of icecream sundaes. They were ok, nothing special, and quite pricey for the size of them. The seating area seemed quite tatty but it is a very popular place so maybe I'm missing something?

Ice cream is fantastic! Definitely worth a stop. Certain members of our party ate dessert here every day. And all while knowing Jeanetta's was around the corner. They also have other sweets and pastries, but I have no idea if they are equally as good unfortunately!

We were looking for a quick treat before putting at St Andrews and Luvians filled the bill. We are so glad we stumbled on this place, and we'll definitely be back next year. There is a cafe area here but we went for ice cream cones - a double cone each, with our choice of flavours from their fabulously diverse range. I chose Salted Caramel and Irn Bru Sorbet, my son went for Chocolate and Nutella. All four flavours were rich and delicious, and the ice creams were well worth £2.80 (Aug 2015). Highly recommended!

OMG you just have to go! do not miss this if you love ice cream, but be prepared for the wait as teh queue is always out the door.

Brilliant little place which if you're looking for a quick snack lunch. Don't expect the endless menus you'll find in some other places, but incredible value - not always easy to find in a tourist trap.

After a lovely fish supper we decided to have an ice cream from Luvians which has never failed to impress The rum & raisin is superb and at £1.50 for a small tub very good value Highly recommended anytime you are in St Andrews

Well what can I say, the long que to buy an ice cream out side the door is well worth the wait, the only problem is the choice, lots of yummy ice cream to choose from, delicious.

Went there for some tea to rest a bit after walking around St Andrew's. The staff were very helpful. There is a very relaxed and a rather vintagey feel to this tea room. We had cakes and ice cream which were all really really good. Choosing a flavour for ice cream can be tough because there is so many! I finally went for a Rhubard Sorbet and Salted Caramel Waffle Cone. The sorbet was very refreshing and the Salted Caramel tasted like heaven.

Do you love ice cream? If you do, this is the place to go in St. Andrews. Lots of choices and very refreshing on a hot day. Can get pretty busy but worth it.

We stopped in for ice cream and found they also do tea, scones, and sandwiches. There are about 30 flavors of very good , creamy ice cream and a couple of sorbets. You can have sprinkles or chocolate sauce, or a chocolate-coated waffle cone with the scoop. Take out only, unless you order something besides ice cream.

Very good place for ice-cream - having to work hard with Janettas round the corner, but what it lacks in variation of flavours it more than makes up for in the quality of the ice-cream. My top choice for St Andrews.
