Mauds Ice Cream in Ards

Placed an order on there new app, wouldn't let us pay by card, changed it to pay in person on arrival. Order accepted then received an email over an hour later saying order rejected. No explanation or anything. Very disappointed kids

I went to maids in Newtownards and was absolutely shocked at the price of a large tube of ice cream ther next day I went up to the spar and received a large tube of ice cream from Mauds in the spar for only £3.75 otherwise it would have costed me £5.10 which is exceptional for this ice cream. The other ex cream photo is one I got at the spar and is the exact same size as mauds. This is a disgrace how much they overcharge

Love this place. So many choices of ice-cream flavours and toppings. Staff are mostly young but always polite even when there’s a huge queue. Worth a visit....you’ll not regret it

We visited for lunch. I had a lovely baked potato with tuna and onion, served with side salad, followed by a piece of home baked boiled cake - gorgeous and very reasonable. No hesitation in recommending to anyone visiting Ards.

After lunch we went in search of ice cream and found mauds ice cream..we had 4 large cones with various ice creams in...was great...will definitely go back...

First time for everything or do they say.. dropped in for a coffee ended up with a sandwich, sonne and an ice cream... what have we been missing! We will be back... and back soon.

Northern Ireland has lots of little Ice Cream shops but Mauds offers one of the best selections, good prices and great staff... Add it to your list of places to visit

Just happened to be in the area and needed a cup of coffee, (as I often do!) Well, I didn't fancy an ice-cream since it wasn't a particularly nice day. I went for a panino and wasn't disappointed. This cafe is always the same: spotlessly clean, friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended.

Beautiful ice cream with a smile. Lovely clean place well looked after. Loads and loads of different favours available and even can sit in to have a coffee too

A quick trip into mauds to bring home ice cream on a hot day. A large very well filled carton with enough to satisfy a family of four with large helpings. Honey comb is a personal favourite, creamy, textured icecream with honey comb in abundunce, satisfingly crunchy. So good.

I find Mauds ice cream to be pretty dull; having been to Italy and tasted what real ice cream should taste like, this is about as far from proper Italian gelato as you can get. The flavoured ice creams all taste the same, that is, they are so stingy with the flavourings that they all tend to taste the same. The chocolate ice cream is the worst. Chocolate ice cream should be dark with a bitter edge, this has barely enough cocoa in it to give it a brown colour. Give me a tub of Ben and Jerry's any day.

Pooh bear is the nicest ice and. Staff could be a little more friendly at times. but all in all offers great ice cream, traybakes, cakes and hot or cold drinks.

I tried a flat white for the first time here, I was in a hurry to get to the hairdressers but I can't start my day with a coffee! I decided to try a flat white for the first time and these guys did not disappoint! Coffee was delicious! I always prefer to support the local business and when the coffee is as good as this I will continue to do so!

Mauds is an institution, like Woolies and Stewart Millar's. The ice cream is great and the coffee and buns are also excellent. You can always rely on Mauds to put a smile on your face.

When in the area, we enjoy a visit to Mauds. However, we found we were being rushed to order before having time to read the overhead menus. Also folk queuing behind us seemed to rush to reserve tables- this irritates me!! My chicken pie was dry and the crust inedible as far too overdone and chewy! I was also served the incorrect salads. However- my husband thoroughly enjoyed his club sandwich. The kids had crepes with Ice cream which were enjoyed! The following morning we decided to return for coffee - I had an oat traybake which was very tasty. Again, kids enjoyed crepes. However, it's not easy on the pocket.

La tienda en sí es genial, si no era un poco pequeña, y el helado es preciosa, pero el mismo no se puede decir de la comida caliente o el servicio. El personal estaba más preocupado en charlando entre ellos y hacerse la comida y bebida que estaban sobre sus clientes actuales. Una chica menor con pelo rubio era especialmente malo. Ella tomó alrededor de 15 minutos para preparar mis amigos sándwich mientras también descuidar a tomar mi orden hasta que hubiera terminado significa que tenía que estar en el mostrador y esperar que ella me reconociera. Su pelo también era volar sobre mientras hacen la comida que no es muy higiénico. Cuando al final conseguimos nuestra comida era mediocre. No pensaré volver me temo que, al menos hasta que la calidad del servicio mejora.

Called in tonight to get some ice cream , behind the counter we had 3 girls serving if that's the word as 2 of them were more interested in talking about the music and dancing the talker of the three to be fair wasn't, I was getting 2 large 1 medium and a couple of the tray bakes as they are scooping the ice cream what they have dropped of the other flavours over the top of the flavours means that although you want one flavour in each tub you end up with a bit of a mixture plus the amount on the outside of the tub melting and dripping sure makes it a bit of a mess but as the tray bakes are being put in the tubs you know the tin foil ones with lids managed to fit in between her discussion about Justin Beiber how the packaging of the tray bakes is so tedious but not to worry as the Justin Beiber song is good ,never ever thought I would review an ice cream shop but if you own it you deserve to know that the service and attitude of the two smaller girls will hardly inspire return custom if my experience is anythingto go by . Plus if I order a large tub I would expect it to be full of ice cream but in the rush to get rid , I have one tub with ice cream in the bottom then a gap with the next scoop spread on top .. Pound odd short of £15.00 spent but they won't be getting it again ,. Ps sorry in advance for using size as a way of describing the staff but I don't have names

I went for a snack and was given a flat almost poultry amount costing 3.50,, It would hardly satisfy any hunger during a lunch break. In addition it was most uncomfortable for me trying to make sense out of a wall menu over two sitting patrons who kept looking at me as though I had no right to select my choice. On top of this, I was kept waiting for almost ten/ fifteen minutes for something that should have taken no more than five minutes at which point I could barely wait my escape from one of those rare edgy climates... .. .The welcome was less than hearty and the only merit in my stay was a barely audible acknowledgement of my patience.. .

Nice small ice cream parlour. Provide papers. Very friendly service and great ice cream. Reasonable food selection.

Must stop for the kids when we visit home. The honey Pooh bear ice cream is demanded the second we get into N'Ards. Well priced and absolutely delicious. I personally prefer the mint choc chip, much to the kids' disgust.

great icecream, we pop in here often and are always overwhelmed with the attentive helpful staff. amust visit place when in ards.

Always visit mauds when I visit Ni from England. I'm originally northern Irish, greatly miss the creamy ice cream. Went there with my friend and family, my two girls absolutely loved the ice cream so Much so we have had it now a few times this week! But we're on holiday so why not!! The gentleman that served us was very attentive and while we were there a customer chatted to us and we actually knew the same people. Northern Ireland people are just the best!! My friend had a panini and she said it was delicious. Shop is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend for the best ice cream around.

Small sit in facility, pleasantly furnished. Amazing ice cream, great selection of flavours. All in all a great ice cream parlour

Call in on a Sunday afternoon for an ice cream always busy and good selection of ice cream, only down side is its very small and only has a couple of tables, it would be nice to sit in and people watch if premises were bigger, not much room for Parma or wheelchairs

If you like ice cream, Mauds ice cream is as near to an Italian ice cream parlour as you are going to find in this country. My personal favourites are poor bear, forest fruits or Belgian chocolate.Can't wait for an excuse to visit again!

lovely lunch on Saturday, from their specials board, lots of variety of Panini's, sandwiches, wraps, toasties will suit any palate, coffee great and good value, fresh scones, cake traybakes on offer, very reasonably priced compared to other high street coffee shops and of course ice cream on offer whats not to like

As far as an Ice Cream parlour goes it's fine but if it's a sandwich you are looking for their is a very poor selection of fillings.

there is a great selection of ice cream and they don't skimp on a scoop staff are friendly great ice cream shop

This shop is well worth a visit. From home baked buns, pastries, fresh made sandwiches in a variety of breads and the mauds ice-crem which we cannot forget in a lot of different flavours. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Shop open most evenings and you can either sit in with youor purchase or eat out.

We have quite a few places in Newtownards to buy ice cream this isn't the best but is one of the few open in the evening when people go for a stroll and some fancy coffee the rest ice cream Maude suits bothDon't have a great selection of flavours

The iakes etc on offer but they look good.ce cream is, as all Maud's outlets are, excellent. Service is friendly. You can sit in to eat or take away. Haven't ried the tray b

Called in after having dinner out, decided to try it. The ice cream and service is brillant, the young girls who serve in the shop are warm and friendly and nothing was a problem. They do snacks as well as the ice cream, tea and coffee as well .

This is the place we go to on an odd Sunday whilst we are out driving around and putting the day in! We love the atmosphere however during the summer it can be quite busy they try hard to keep it clean and tidy! I'm not going to rave about Poo Bear Ice-cream though - I'm giving my vote to rum and raisin!! Its is always a friendly place - the staff are lovely and it's a great place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. It's not all ice ream though - sandwiches, scones etc. one Sunday, ice ream the next!

Maud's ice cream in Newtownards is more than an ice cream parlour, they provide freshly made sandwiches, panini, hot snacks, cakes and tray bakes. The versatile range is a credit to the small staff who always provide a friendly service with a smile.

the service inside from the staff if you sitting in or carrying out is first class. The shop is clean and tidy and welcoming.

Lovely staff with a very relaxing atmosphere in the cafe! Food is always to a high standard and love the ice cream! Will be back =)

Great place to go with grandchildren while you have coffee they can have a big ice cream. Would like it to be a little bigger not a lot of space

We enjoy a Mauds Ice cream however we always purchase ours in tubs, lots of variety in flavours, although they dont always have them and sometimes portions can vary greatly.

You can call in for a coffee or tea and get an ice cream or ice cream sundae with a smile and a chat and watch the world walk by. Beautiful place and lovely place to eat in.

Here in the North of Ireland we eat icecream (I say we but I 'aint a native Gov'nor) and they don't come much better than the honeycombe treat which is Mauds "Phoo bear" so nice those people at Disney leave them alone!

This is a lovely, quaint little cafe selling a great selection of snacks, home baking, and the most delicious ice cream. The staff are so helpful, and even shared their recipe for rocky road.

Same fantastic ice cream that is available in all Maud's outlets. Forget the lack of ambience,just focus on the ice cream.......especially pooh bear!

great icecream! poop bear my fav. you can sit outside in the summer and winter too. quaint wee place and friendly serving staff. Mauds great icecream

Such amazing ice-cream and desserts in a cute little cafe that also sells little gifts and candle holders. Pooh bear is the best ice-cream flavour (honeycomb) and a crowd favourite. Good value with 3 scoops in the small size cup for £2. Little day trip from Belfast here and a good afternoon-tea treat. Also free wifi is an added bonus.

Great selection of ice cream in Donaghadee which isn't issued at eye watering prices. A single cone of delicious ice cream (roughly 12 flavours) is £1. Also brews & coffee available. Get yourself there!!

I came with my mum and granny for ice cream sundaes, which were delicious. The interior is beautiful, very quirky and interesting, which makes for a really lovely experience. My only issue was I thought the sundaes were a teeny bit over-priced for what you got, but then again a sundae is a treat so I didn't mind paying. The portion was perfect.

I cant get a better flavour of ice cream than Maud's Pooh Bear. Absolutely gorgeous with pieces of honeycomb. Basic premises to sit in but well worth it just to sample all the varieties of ice cream on offer.

Fantastic ice cream and coffee in the Maud's in Donaghadee good service and selection. Good location and parking nearby is available, it is a good place to chill out and let the kids all enjoy the many types of selection.

We went in for an ice cream but stayed for a snack as the smell was simply irresistible well worth a visit i`d say :-)
