The Looking Glass Ice Cream Parlour in Conwy

Our favourite cafe 'The Loaf' was closed so we came here. As soon as we sat down and felt the sticky table and menus Imt husband and I wanted to leave. I went to have a look at the ice creams and the glass was dirty the cake stands were dirty. But we have a teenager who fancied a bubble waffle with ice cream. Our daughter said it was nice. Within half an hour she felt sick and it was repeating on her and later on was sick. She never suffers from anything repeating on her or being sick. We will never go back.

Lovely dessert had waffle and ice cream 🍨

Lovely ice cream bar with lovely food. Really enjoyable.

Great experience for me and my partner. Delicious and fresh ice cream. The prices were fantastic for two deserts and a drink. The aesthetics were on point for a bookish Alice in wonderland theme.

Staff were very attentive and friendly despite the place being busy and the ice creams were amazing and enjoyed by all in our family.

All glass is dirty and coffe looks like water , table is dirty and my hand gluying to worktop. Never again am use this place to drinking coffe

Been in every day this week. I e cream flavours are lovely, service is spot on and it’s always busy!! Only bit of feedback is one or two of the staff might need to learn how to scoop ice cream onto a cone!

Loved this place They’ve gone with Alice in wonderland theme + rolled with it! Everywhere had something quirky to look at We had icecream, milkshake + crepes They were all delicious, fantastic selection of flavours of icecream + lots of toppings Staff were friendly and helpful Will definitely visit again and recommend

Outside is so untidy and inside needs a good clean it's so bad it never used to be like that sort it out

The best kept secret in Llandudno! A definite must if you can get a table! Such a great place to be and spend the afternoon working your way through a shared platter of deliciousness, reminiscing about a glorious book partly written in Llandudno and enjoying the excellent service and atmosphere!!! 5 stars for sure!!!

Good service and good ice cream/shakes/smoothies. Google won't let me edit this, but in summer they close at 9pm. Winter hours are different (earlier). PS banana espresso works surprisingly well as a milkshake flavor

Very sickly, but scrummy the indoor is dark but very welcome in a Alice the wonderland style. Lots of different varieties ice creams and drinks. Only things I say is the seating outside is very unstable and not ideal for disabled/ wheelchair people but outside with no undercover. Overall good place to visit for ice-cream

Visited here the other day with my family. Every single dish was made to absolute perfection, the staff were also extremely friendly and helpful when it came to the ordering process. Although the place was busy, the staff were continuously serving and delivering orders with a smile on their face. We ordered a plethora of crepes, waffles and brownie specials (yummy) all of which looked DELICIOUS, all with a go good serving of ice cream, toppings and sauce (all of which were our own personal choice!!) Along with the beautiful and unique decor of the restaurant, it made this experience a 10/10, we will definitely be back soon!!

Brought my family in here after hyping it up for the longest time! And they definitely lived up to the hype, our food was delicious. It was fairly busy in there but the staff were all happy and the service was amazing! My family and I also love the fact that they do take home tubs!! No more flavourless factory made stuff for us 😂 Overall a great experience and we cannot wait to come back!

Visited here a few days ago with my partner. Everything was made to perfection, the staff were extremely helpful and really friendly. It was extremely busy with a que out the door, although it looked stressful the staff were still serving with a smile and the place was clean and the decor in the Looking Glass is beautiful. 10/10 we will definitely be back!

Avoid at all costs. This place is dirty, no idea how it managed a 3 hygiene certificate. Plenty of other ice cream parlours in Llandudno.

Nice little place for ice cream I had the affogato, which is rather lovely We arrived just as they were closing. I didn’t actually realise but they served us anyway. THANKS GUYS

Finally got to come here as last few times I had wanted to was closed for refurbishment. All things Alice in wonderland was very exciting for me I loved the decor and the references all around. We had the sharing plate as it was just so much choice. The girl that served us was very timid but sweet, I think she was just being trained up and not sure how to take our order. The choice of ice cream was good we had galaxy caramel, chocolate peanut and Turkish delight and then topping’s and sauces which were a bit stingy to be honest, paid an extra pound for biscoff but couldn’t taste it there was very little of it. Just 3 little pots of ice cream for a sharing plate that serves 4 was also quite tight for the price. The pancake and waffle was delicious and fresh but just not enough toppings and sauce. I had a strawberry milkshake with strawberry jam ice cream on top which was amazing, made with oat milk so was much easier for my stomach as I usually lactose free wherever possible. Really wanted to try the Parma violet ice cream so will definitely come back.

We enjoyed lots of crepes, waffles and ice creams here. I loved my banana split with yogurt, fruit, honey and granola.

Very nice place to get a dessert. Staff are friendly and ice creams are delicious.

Always super helpful and friendly service and the best ice cream you're likely to ever taste! A real asset to Llandudno 🙂

Absolutely delightful experience from the start to finish great décor and smiling staff all willing to help. Wife had a double scoop of Battenberg and strawberry I think and I had the rum and raisin on a hot waffle, I have never had a hot waffle or a home made ice cream and now I am converted. On our next trip to Llandudno we will be stopping off here again, many thanks to the people working at the Looking Glass.

Staying at a Cottage in N. Wales for a week we decided on a day trip to Llandudno. After eating dinner at a Fish & Chip shop that shall remain nameless, we were just wandering around and found The Looking Glass. Having a bit of a sweet tooth, it looked ideal. We went in and were met with an amazing array of Ice cream flavours and tempting desserts. we eventually managed to decide what we wanted and ordered. The guy serving ( David..... great name ) was really friendly and helpful, very patient with our autistic son who was a bit overwhelmed with the choice and struggled to decide. We paid for our food and drinks. I thought we'd been undercharged as I expected the Bill to be higher. It's when you start eating that you realise just how good this place is. Absolutely superb. Battenberg flavour Ice Cream? Unbelievably good. The Coffees were really good too. This place is an absolute gem. If you enjoy a bit of ice cream, waffle, crepe or anything along those lines, then do yourself a favour and JUST GO THERE!! Pleasure meeting you Dave, Good luck with everything. *Arnie voice.....

Went here today lovely decorate. So glad to find a alice in wonderland cafe. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Will be back

Abundance of flavours Price is very reasonable Not great for parking Imagine that in busy days the queue can be long 10/10 would come again

Apple ice cream is really nice iced coffee needs some thing extra. Seating is individually devided of.

You can't go to the seaside and not have an ice cream. So why not go somewhere that makes the stuff on site and has a really wide range of flavours. The Parma violet was my favourite, the wife loved the blueberry one. But there were probably 15 different ones to choose from.

Best ice cream in town. Great selection which varies daily and I am told is made on site. Gets very busy in the summer which can slow down the speed of service and table clearing. I can personally recommend the Rum and Raisin and Mango, which has refreshing pieces of fruit inside.

Lovely dessert parlour, loads of choice and really good decor! Highly reccomend!

Amazing. What more can I say. The crepes and waffle are lovely. Will definitely recommend and Definitely be going again 👌

Absolutely stunning place. Hot chocolate floater is a definitive must have🙃

Came here for a day trip. The price for one ice cream scoop is a tad pricey but fair. But most importantly was the sheer lack of service just for tea. Others were getting served with FOOD and when we arrived before them. Disappointing ! Not to add the double charge for tea which we got refunded if we had not clocked the receipt.

Delicious, the place looks lovely and the people are nice.

Oh MY GOSH WHAT HAPPEND TO THIS LOVELY PLACE , WENT YESTERDAY 12TH MARCH. IT USED TO OPEN BRIGHT PLACE , WITH LOVELY TABLES AND TEA POTS. WITH A LOVELY SELECTION OF WAFFLES, PANCAKES , ICE CREAM. NOW ITS DARK DINGEY WITH AWFUL SEATING BAYS AND NOT AS NICE SELECTION OF PRODUCTS TO EAT.. WILL NEVER GO AGAIN , BEFORE THIS CHANGE WE WENT OFTEN, THINK IT MUST OF CHANGED HANDS ,,,,, PITTY.

Drawn in by the Alice in Wonderland theme and so glad we were. Lovely place for a sweet treat. Fabulous decor, friendly staff, and the tastiest desserts. I am now craving Turkish delight ice cream 🍦. Will definitely be back, just don't tell my diabetic nurse shush.

Great little place food lovely and dog friendly too!!

I am here for a while and thank you for great service.

The looking glass is a excellent ice cream parlour, Oliver Andrew went above and beyond with his ice cream expertise. Hudson lamb

A bit expensive, but it was okay for a coffee and cake, drawing paper and games for the little ones...

What a lovely, quirky place! We went here for an ice cream. They make the ice-cream on site and have some delicious flavours. I had a waffle with a Scoop of peanut butter, strawberries, chocolate sauce and Chopped nuts. Deeeelicious! Apart from milk shakes, tea and coffee, cakes are on offer. The staff very friendly. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. Thank you.

Visited llandudno as part of a coach trip. A couple in our coach party recommended this place as they had been during the trip and enjoyed it. It did not disappoint! Very tasty. Chose banana split. The staff were so friendly. There are little games you can do whilst waiting for your food (perfect for if you have little ones)

Sehr schönes Café. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Die Bubble Waffeln sind einfach ein Traum. Bestes Café. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!!!

Great selection of desserts at a great price!! Highly recommended.

Cosy little ice cream parlour with very cute decor. Really busy each time we've been, but it's worth the wait!!!

Served quickly and well by a young man. Clean and tidy place and range of flavours was great

I ordered a crèpe with lemon and sugar, and a crèpe with nutella. The one with lemon had a bit to much of lemon on it. The one with nutella was better. The prices are quite decent.

Decided to make use of my remote working days and came here with my laptop for a little treat to myself! I enjoyed the best waffle and ice cream ever! Perfect atmosphere to focus on my work whilst enjoying a special treat. Staff are super friendly and the ice cream is to die for. I’ll be back tomorrow to work again for a few hours! The fact the ice cream is made with love and passion on site makes it the best, unique, ice cream parlour in Llandudno with such a lovely family friendly vibe! Don’t go anywhere else!

Very lovely staff, very delicious desserts (lots and lots of options), and very cute decor. Some vegan options available too :)

A friend recommended this place for a sweet treat and it was well worth the visit. The decor was very cute decorated in the style of Alice in wonderland. The staff were so friendly and attentive. They recommended toppings and flavours. The waffles were big portions and well worth the money. Highly recommended!

Took my granddaughter on a wet and windy day. Delicious hot chocolate to warm us up. I had an enormous waffle with strawberries and cream. My granddaughter had a child's size crepe with chocolate ice cream, brownie pieces and marshmallows to top with chocolate sauce. She thoroughly loved it. Wish I lived a bit closer to become a regular

The best Ice cream in Llandudno

Best desert place I've ever been to, whimsical Alice and wonderland theme, amazing range of deserts and lovely staff, 10/10! ❤️❤️

Cannot fault the food, drink or service in here! We were enjoying sitting outside with our bubble waffles, ice cream, and drinks, only problem was the locals and by locals I mean the seagulls! One swooped on our daughter and stole some waffle and ice cream, but can’t fault the staff as one lovely guy came running out to help us, he after helping clean up the destruction from the seagull went back in brought her an ice cream and a coke as I’d threw her coke on the seagull to try get rid of it. Another few minutes passed by and he came out again with a whole replacement waffle and complete with all the toppings she had! So a huge thank you to the staff you were amazing!

Best place ever been excellent produce love. It xxx

I ordered a mint chocolate icecream, I got a masterpiece in the icecream world, would definitely recommend

Nice ice cream free from seagulls. We came here after reading the reviews. We were happy with our choices.

Visited this place just after some ice cream as a well needed sweet treat. Good things: 1) decor and feel; very cool and thematic 2) price of the sharing dish, felt like you was getting a good deal 3) games available to you whilst you wait Could be better: - staff were brilliant but there wasn’t enough available to ensure everyone could order something other than ice cream - toppings could be better quality as they tasted slightly plain Would recommend the ice cream 100% if you go to this area

Very good service, fantastic deserts, and things to play with for children at some tables. Toilet would do some upgrade (so as 70% of UK business ones :) Highly recommended!

Best Ice Cream Parlour by far in llandudno

Good and some unusual choice of flavours of ice cream and sobets, great combinations available - waffles crepes real fruit smoothies and even better- gluten free crepes available. Was busy today but friendly staff were efficient, and very clean premesia. Prices reasonable.Thankyou for a lovely experience.

Me and my partner tried this place as we wanted to see if they were as good as Forte well we know to come here if you want an ice cream that is actually made on site in house there are no ice crystals so you know the ice cream has been made in perfect conditions I had a knickerbocker glory with a mixed berry ice cream mixed with raspberry ripple with all the toppings I have posed a picture too when I tasted it the flavours exploded in my mouth and it was a very very good eating experience one I suggests everyone who likes ice cream make sure you pop in as it’s also family run The inside is very clean and the decor inside is all about Alice in wonderland they supply crayons for the kids to do some colouring etc Well done guys I’m coming back tomorrow!!!

Walked in at 8:30pm when they were just doing ice cream cones or tubs which was perfect as it was all we were after! A fantastic large selection of flavours and at a good price. Amazing tasting ice cream and very large scoops too. I had Ferrero Rocher and Salted Caramel and my fiancée 2 scoops of Malteaser. We loved all of the flavours and would 100% come back for more.

Absolutely amazing place.. The decor, the ambience, the menu, the flavours, the taste, the staff..all absolutely amazing.. The ice creams are eggless. Didnt try crepes or any drinks, but I believe they too would be good. Best part, for one scoop you can choose two different flavours, half of each.. We had 2 scoops with 4 flavours.. and all were delicious.. Lemon curd, salted caramel, honeycomb and chocolate orange... My favorite was lemon curd, new and exciting. The staff are very friendly and the place has things to keep kids entertained. The decor is all on the theme of Alice in Wonderland, popular kids' story book. Would love to go there again..

Absolutely delightful place , staff are brilliant, place has free WiFi, booths, outside seating, highly recommend this place ice cream is superb, lots of options , it's Alice in wonderland themed hence the name, hot drinks are available, 😁

The pancakes were amazing!!! The staff need to practice patience when a customer is deciding on what to order instead of coming across as irritated and making comments that make the customer look stupid. You have a good set up there. Don’t ruin that by lacking professionalism.

We enjoy time there. Reasonable price. Great pancakes with lot choice. And latte was as perfect taste like I like. I feeld koffe. Next time we'll visit this place again.

First time been, very quirky, the ice cream dishes available all sound divine and lots to choose from, I had a glory. Will definitely go again.

Delicious ice creams at this excellent ice cream parlour.

Extensive selection of ice-cream n nice scone n clotted cream

Fab place - we go there a lot. Atmosphere is amazing, with unusual playful interior, games for kids etc. Waffles, crepes and ice cream are great, decent coffee too.

Nice and friendly staff, really nicely done up. Ice cream was good but iv had better.

I love the store so much, it’s in a theme of Alice in Wonderland, it’s gorgeous. I, as a big fans of Alice in Wonderland, I love this place and would recommend it to all of you!!!!

The ice-cream is pretty good and the coffee is ok. But it's a nice place to sit with the family and very likely the best place in the area to get a treat.

Beautiful knickerboker and yummy banoffee ice cream cake. We loved it

Cracking place. Nice staff. Smoothies are delicious. Crepes are also as good.

The homemade vegan ice cream was absolutely amazing. I had the banana & oreo, raspberry lemonade and Berry sorbet. They were the best ice creams I have had as a vegan by far! We will definitely be back. Such a great selection. Thank you for catering to everyone :)

Been craving those for the past week, today finally have the chance to call in for one! Never disappoints!

This ice cream parlour has changed hands and been redesigned in an American style. Walked in looking forward to a really good experience. The seats were sticky, the table dirty and the menu was a breeding ground for germs. Walked out without ordering. Hygiene levels and a deep clean a priority. Sorry but will not visit again,

Very tasty crepe! And very good value for money. Lovely interior decor and very friendly staff!

I would travel back to wales just to visit this place. Incredible desserts, beautiful decor, welcoming staff, fantastic ice cream!

Amazing place with great and friendly staff

Followed the white rabbit and came for a cuppa. Great ambiance and friendly staff!

Fantastic ice cream as always Staff were great

A beautiful little dessert bar. Waffles, pancakes, icecreams and a mixture of them all if that's what takes your fancy. Will be going back.

Amazing sweet treats, good coffee, friendly staff. Pet and breastfeeding friendly. Fantastic place.

Popped in this afternoon 6/2/23 while my friend went for a run, I’ve always wanted to visit but been put off previously by how busy it can get, it was very very quiet (I was the only one there for a period of time) which as a fellow hospitality worker I know is both a blessing and a frustration. The staff were all lovely and keeping busy probably preparing for the onslaught of half term. I had the cream tea and it was delicious, the scone was fresh and everything presented beautifully. A good choice of music playing and wonderful decor. Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s working wonders for you! I will return with my friends and family in future, Thankyou :)

Fantastic jammy dodger icecream ,milkshake and Mango/coconut smoothie yesterday , definitely recommended

Lovely spot for a hot chocolate - plenty of topping choices too

The weather wasn't up to much so we decided to have a mooch around Llandudno town center. As it got to lunch time we thought it would be better to get something to eat at a local cafe/coffee shop rather than one of the big chains. So glad we did. As we were walking in to The Looking Glass we spotted the ice-cream tea being served to a couple at a table, and after checking with the staff what it was, we decided to have the same ourselves. I won't lie, it wasn't cheap, but for what we got it was reasonable value. Everything seemed to be home made rather than bought in, and was delicious. We can definitely recommend The Looking Glass, especially if you have the Ice-cream tea.

Very good ice creams, loads of different flavours. Shared a dessert platter, more than enough for 2 people.

The most delicious desserts in town! Call in when you're passing or make a special trip if you aren't and receive a really warm welcome from the lovely ladies that work here. You simply must try the lemon drizzle cake, smothered in warm berries, with a side dish of ice-cream - it's to die for!

Really lovely. Scones were beautiful, fresh and warm. The vanilla ice cream was the best I've ever had.

Absolutely gorgeous ice cream and waffles. Love this place. Would highly recommend.

Love the ice cream tea! Only 4 stars because my Daughter only got half a waffle for the same price as a full one last time we came. Otherwise amazing ice cream / cakes

ENCHANTING, you must I say MUST visit this place. Delicious and the girls are extremely friendly. We absolutely loved it. Homemade ice cream in a shop that just takes you away from anywhere in this world.

What a stunning little place! Lovely friendly staff. Ice-cream is to die for, great flavours, all made on site. You must visit.

Hands down the best brownie I’ve had. Large toasted marshmallow on top and ice cream on the side of your choice (hard to choose as a great selection). Great price and nice decor. Would definitely come here again when back in Llandudno.

Lovely place and lovely food you can even have play game while eating.

Amazing banana split, can't wait to come back again
