The Dartmouth Ice Cream Company in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

They have a lovely shop further down the harbour as well as the kiosk. The ice cream is outstanding and made on site. The young lad that served us today was delightful with a winning smile and lovely manner (a big contrast to the surly ladies in Rockfish takeaway) and we thought the price was amazing for a huge scoop of amazing ice cream. Don't hesitate. Buy local products.

Cream tea ice cream. That’s it. Those 4 words. Absolutely delicious. Clotted cream ice cream, jam, bits of scone, perfection. If you aren’t eating it with a fudge stick and a dollop of clotted cream on top then you’re being sensible, but where’s the fun in that?

Had an amazing espresso ice cream - would be my regular if I lived in the area. Staff so helpful and kind.

Ice cream is delicious and has a good choice of flavours. The service is also great. The price however £4:25 each for a cone is rather excessive.

My wife makes ice cream and sorbets for my dining business. This ice cream is out of this Blackcurrent is like cassis and cream and the honeycomb is delicious. A must visit. Avoid the whipped up hydrogenated fat stuff, come here and have the real Devonshire ice cream.

We went to The Good Intent to get some ice creams after a meal at a restaurant nearby to find that it had already closed. The 2 people in the shop could see the devastated look on my 4 year old Grandson’s face and came rushing out to explain that they had cashed up, but they would give him a small ice cream for free. The ice cream was huge! And my grandson are the lot! We went back the following evening and had ice creams all round and some fudge which were all delicious! We will be back before the end of our holiday for more as it’s too good to miss. What fantastic customer service! I would thoroughly recommend this place! 😊

I ordered a devon cream tea to be delivered to us near Bedford. It arrived well packaged and promptly. The scone were huge and delicious as was the tea - and clotted cream a luxury. I would recommend this fully

Popped in here for ice creams whilst in Dartmouth recently. Young man serving was very friendly and efficient. The choice of flavours was good, the ice creams tasted great and the servings were very generous. Will definitely be back

I’m very sad to be writing this but I think this should be voiced as this isn’t the first time this has happened in, what I would normally state is, my favourite ice cream shop. As I am writing this review I am referring to the shop which is near the lower car ferry. Upon entry to the ice cream parlour there were three very young girls behind the counter, one of which served my friend. However, one out of the two not serving was sat on her phone which you could very obviously see and did not look professional at all. The other was stood folding napkins and chatting to the girl on the chair, they chatted between themselves leaving me stood there for over 5 minutes although they both looked at me as I walked in so they knew I was waiting to be served. My friend had to say to the girl doing her ice cream “are they not going to serve my friend” and it took for that for the young girl who served my friend to give them a look to suggest to serve me. One of them got up and laughed and said “sorry was nattering away there” I told them that I wanted some fudge and an ice cream. The girl looked at the other girl and said “can you get me a box” and then said “I don’t know how to do it can you do it for me” which again, didn’t look good and there was no professionalism there at all, it seemed as though she did know how to do it and just couldn’t be bothered. They also said “yay 3 minutes left” between themselves and said “can’t wait to get out of here” which again highlights my point that they couldn’t be bothered. Whilst they were cutting my fudge and doing my ice cream they were all nattering between themselves and made no effort to engage in conversation with their paying customers, by this point there was a queue out the door which there was no need for as there was more than enough staff on to deal with the customers waiting, bearing in mind there was still one more girl who could have served another customer but decided to stand at the back of the counter tops and watch. I also came in yesterday and there were a group of young people behind the counter, at least 4-5 which seemed like way too many people, especially with coronavirus going on. They seemed of an age range between 18-22 and again, I was served but they all chatted between each other and didn’t once make an effort to talk to me, and I understand this may be a summer job for them but the lack of professionalism made me feel very uncomfortable, they also were all whispering to each other which made me feel as though they were saying things about the customers which most likely isn’t the case but it makes you feel uncomfortable as you are just stood there in silence. Like I said at the start I’m very sad to be writing this but something needs to be done about this, this is my favourite ice cream shop but it made me not want to pay due to the appalling customer service, you should not be hiring young people if they don’t have social skills, etiquette or have not been trained well enough to cut some fudge and put it in a box.

This hand made ice cream shop, which also sells fudge and sweets made me feel like a child again!Sitting on the seafront wall, dangling my legs over the edge, an ice cream in one hand watching the boats pass bye. With ice creaming covering my beard, nose and also partially on my glasses. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.Is this the best ice cream in Dartmouth? No idea. Is this ice cream pretty good? HELL YEAH!!

Wow what amazing ice cream!! We came to Dartmouth for the day for my partners birthday there where 11 of us and we all very much enjoyed our ice cream Definitely be back and a very friendly lady serving.. Thank you very much x x

Amazing ice cream and great service. Despite being closed they opened just to give my son an ice cream with dinosaur sprinkles. :)

We don't have ice cream often as my Wife is diabetic and I am border line (so the doctors say) however my cousin from Cumbria was visiting so we decided to treat him to the best ice cream for miles around. He wasn't disappointed.

Little gem of a shop called 'The Good Intent'....the best icecream you will ever ever taste anywhere in the world ....old fashioned shop also selling fudge etc etc .....a def must when in Dartmouth

We went to Dartmouth specifically for icecream and tea. Had the icecream at the good intent. Good choice of flavours and very tasty.

If you're in Devon you've got to have clotted cream on top! Clotted cream ice-cream with a clotted cream topping.............need I say more!

great flavours easy to get to nice scenery and lovely weather, nice place to relax good amount of seating.

My father and I recently visited Dartmouth during unseasonably good weather. We met a seriously attractive young lady in the ice cream shop who advised us on the best flavours. My only regret is I didn’t ask for her number. Alfie.

Had ice-cream of The Dartmouth Ice Cream Company at The Good Intent and it was enjoyable. The honeycomb flavour is recommended.

Had a lovely ice cream lots of different flavours to have and tastes very nice and creamy and very good value! Had lots of ice cream as we are on holiday and saw the Dartmouth regatta this year 2018

Lovely ice cream lots of choice sit in or takeaway. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The ice cream sundaes are quite large so we shared. Yummy !

Beautiful and tasty icecreams, best in the area with a good choice of flavours available, would certainly recommend a try.

We had the Turkish delight and the pistachio,one scoop each,as they were quite large. The only let down really was the cone....we prefer the waffle cones. But never the less, the ice creams did not disappoint ! Reasonable prices too.

really nice refreshing selection of flavours, try them all if you have time lol, good qaulity and freshness with friendly staff

Terrible ice cream with terrible service from the good intent shop. It may have something to do with the fact that it’s winter and out of season but the ice cream clearly wasn’t fresh with a layer of congeal on top of all the ice creams which really didn’t taste nice. After talking to the lady politely we soon realised she clearly wasn’t happy and dismissively served us a fresh pot without an apology. It still didn’t taste nice...we binned the ice cream and went to Salcombe Ice Cream and was served with a smile.

Gorgeous ice cream my favourite rum and raisin, loads of lovely flavours. Very friendly staff it was the best ice cream we had in Dartmouth.

The Title says it all. It is so far ahead of all the other 'home made' fudge manufacturers in Dartmouth regaridng its product it is ridiculous. They dont have to stand on Lower Street giving away free samples to induce people to buy like others! The quality speaks for itself. Furthermore, it's ice creams with an imaginative range of flavours (and with clotted cream on top of course) and bisccuits etc are all great. We love going in here whenever we visit Dartmouth.

Lovely ice cream and local. There are lots of flavours and they also make fudge. We bought ours at their shop in the town but noticed that they have kiosks near the harbour too.

A lovely family business, friendly and helpful. Allowed my fussy son to try a few flavours on small spoons before deciding. Our server was very patient and kind, and the ice cream was delicious. Recommend the coffee personally, though my son loved the mango sorbet.

Great ice cream and very good selection and the taste was great will definatly be back here for more to try the other flavours.And sit on the quay side and enjoy.

This ice cream just has to be tried, it is utterly delicious. We can't wait to go back and try more flavours as choosing was very hard. Between us we tried the Turkish Delight, Choc Chip, Chilli Chocolate and Rum & Raisin, all of which...

We tried the Bailey's and Cream Tea flavour ice cream. They were both very enjoyable. £2.25 for a single scoop - Although they are large scoops!

Popped in The Good Intent shop , needed a sugar fix after a long hike. Lovely little shop. Too much choice ! Home made fudge and ice cream . served by lovely young lady who was really interested in telling us about the business.

This seemed creamier than the usual but hit the spot on a hot sunny day. Lovely flavours - we tried the cream tea which was just perfect. They sell pots of local clotted cream too.

We weren't sure what ice cream to have while in Dartmouth, and after seeing a few shops and stands, we happened across the Dartmouth Ice Cream Company. We thought that the displayed ice cream looked so good, and there was such a range of flavours, that we just had to have some.We got an ice cream each, mine being strawberries and cream with my better half choosing cream tea flavour, and we were delighted with our choice. This turned out to be the best ice cream we had on our Devon trip, and we did sample a few!

Lovely shop and a warm welcome as usual from this incredible Ice cream and fudge emporium. Really polite and helpful staff, patiently serving us whilst the kids changed their minds. They were particularly attentive to our eldest who has CP and they made him feel particularly included. 5 stars all the way and if that wasn't all they raise money for a very worthwhile cause as well. Keep up the fantastic work.

다트머스항구쪽에 있는 아이스크림 집인데 가게는 아니고 작은 부스로 되어 있어요. 아이스크림을 이곳에서 사서 바닷가 근처의 벤치에서 먹으면 됩니다.

We always call in to this shop (called 'The Good Intent' in Lower Street, Dartmouth) when in the South Hams - it is part of the Dartmouth Ice cream Company and offers wonderful locally made ice creams with a large range of flavours, all manner of manufactured biscuits, fudge and toffees. But the attraction for us is that it sends real Devonshire clotted cream from Langage Farm (none of that Rodda's Cornish rubbish that regrettably seems to have insinuated itself into most supermarkets and tea shops throughout Devon!) which we send as we did in the old days to our nearest and dearest by post. The other big attraction is the handmade fudge created inside the shop itself using local ingredients. It is the very best in this town and the surrounding area by a 'country mile' and you should accept no substitute! With flavours ranging from clotted cream and smooth chocolate to concoctions including Devon cream tea, raspberry swirl, mint choc or Orange choc, lemon meringue pie, pistachio and many more. And if you buy three 100g sticks you get a fourth free in a special gift box. Just wonderful. And a fabulous bright place with thoughtful and helpful staff. Give it a try. Buy your ice creams and walk the forty yards to the nearby Bayards Cove and sit on the cobbled path from where the Pilgrim Fathers left Dartmouth in the Mayflower and enjoy the fabulous views of the River Dart. Quintessential English Heaven!

The Dartmouth Ice Cream Company has a lovely shop and an even more wonderful "hut" right beside the water in Dartmouth.The ice cream is fantastic , the strawberry ice cream is especially good! It's great value too, three scoops for just £3.25Really wonderful service from Louis too, so friendly and great with the children, which makes the whole experience even better.It's also the crabbing community's best kept secret. Cast your line over the railings behind the hut for a bumper crop of crabs!

Great choice off ice cream and sorbet flavours staff friendly and helpful. Particularly enjoyed lemon sorbet and Strasbourg ice cream

Amazingly good ice cream which we bought from The Good Intent. One of the best tasting ice creams I've had in a while was the Strawberry & White chocolate, whilst my wife enjoyed a Clotted cream vanilla with a flake!

Gorgeous and surprisingly generous portions of the most creamy, fantastic ice cream! The lady in the shop was really kind and patient as my kids took an age to decide what they wanted.

If you visit Dartmouth that is one of the shops that must be seen. First is a huge choice of delicious icecreams. Cream of coconut is my favorite at the moment :-). Secondly, the service, people behind the counter. Icecream with a kind smile taste so much better. Few days ago I promised my little one an icecream. We were running late and made it to the shop when they were almost closed. They served us with no effort at all with the same politeness. And other people who came after us. Another thing, their one scoop is like some other places 3 scoops so you get a lot for your money. Thank you guys for representing Dartmouth :-).

Delicious ice cream and so many flavours to choose from. I recommend the liquorice toffee ice cream which doesn't look very appetising - a pale grey colour! - but tastes amazing!

best ice cream I've had here, so many different flavours to try, good excuse to back time and time again just to try them all out!!!

Lots of wonderful flavours with lots of extras including clotted cream!! Lovely sweets and luxury chocolates, always pay a visit when in Dartmouth.

Great choice of ice cream. Baileys one eve, stem ginger another. Yummy. Great creamy fudge. The maple and walnut was Devine.

Good selection of ice cream and fudge. A good place to get some snack food as souvenirs or gifts. Get a ice cream and walk to the quay side, sit on one of the benches and enjoy the panoramic view of Kingswear.

We had several cones and also bought a big tub for home use. Not the best ever ice cream but pretty good.

Excellent choice of flavours and very tasty ice cream. I always have the pistachio and almond but this time my second scoop was the stem ginger - very tasty.

Fabulous ice cream - it had a really good range of flavours. My favourite was Devon Cream Tea flavour - yum yum. The only down side is that there is no cafe or place to sit- this would be perfect with one!

Probably just me but nougat, tea, preserves all ended up in the bag. Could have bought the shop! The ice cream is good, too.

Fabulous ice cream with great flavours such as Devon cream tea. Even though we were a large party, the staff were very efficient and friendly, for example chatting about events that were going on and suggesting things to see and do.Do not miss this experience!

Great homemade ice cream. Wide range of flavours even in December and great foodie gifts too, a few packs of biscuits were purchased!

Visited during the Dartmouth Regatta when it was very busy but staff were very efficient. Ice creams (we both had the snickers in a waffle cone) were nice enough, but personally i prefer the Marshfield Farm ice-cream. Lots of flavours to choose including some very different ones (liquorice, devon cream tea) and a lemon sorbet. Cones and cups available as well as a fudge area within the shop. Average prices for a popular seaside resort.

Yum yum!On a short break to Dartmouth (what a fabulous place!) we came across The Good Intent along with Ali & Jess, the two superb staff on duty at the time of our visit!I have yet to come across such delicious icecream...I sampled the honeycomb with clotted cream on the top and then bought some clotted cream to take home to my neighbour who was feeding the cat!My sister bought some of the salted caramel fudge which she said was again delicious (though fudge is not my thing...)As previously mentioned, the staff on duty, Ali & Jess could not be faulted, nothing was too much trouble for them and we look forward to seeing them again on our next visit!

By far the best (and most interesting) flavour (Devon Cream Tea) we have had on our trip to the UK this summer. Highly recommended!

There are so many different flavours of ice cream, and all the ones which I've tried are just great!

Favourite liquorice ice cream - love it.Had before and will always call in when passing, #thebest.Loads of other flavours too.
