Having the ice cream while standing outside busking was therapeutic. Maybe you can have a few chairs outside for the customers. There were lots of bikers and were asking for a toilet. Please have a customer toilet in place

This place has been going well before I was thought of, but the ice-cream is still the same, a place to visit on a warm sunny day. They still make their own ice-cream. On Sunday though there wasn't as much as previous, whether down to sold out or awaiting to arrive. But still not disappointed, Turkish delight, and it was as good as before. Give it a visit, and see for yourself.

Really enjoyed a visit today. The ice cream is always the great draw, but this time we were buying a floor mat, porridge oats, and other random things. There’s a huge variety of toys, food and household items here. They sell books on local history, and the R.S. Ó Direáin / F. McHugh one, Islandmagee and Templecorran: a Postcard History, has the story of The Rinkha inside! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Toy ankylosaurs up on top of the till! Great to see a family-run enterprise still going strong after so many decades. They have an area celebrating their history with loads of interesting photos of the dance hall and live music acts that played here. They have their own big, free car park outside.

Lovely little store, with fantastic Ice Cream, unfortunately there is nothing highlighting that this family has been running this store for over one hundred years. I wouldn't have known or visited if I hadn't heard about it from a local attraction. If you love ice cream they have some unique flavours and have mastered the classics.

Probably the most famous shop in the area, their icecream is fairly famous, with people visiting from all over to try it. It is perhaps best described as a local convenience store wher you can buy everyday essentials. But the icecream is certainly the best I've ever tasted, I may be a bit biased, my mum used to work there under Billy Hawkins, the original owner, I believe his sons run it now, but that was back in the 60s. However if you are anywhere in the Larne or Carrick area and fancy and icecream, then go here, doesn't matter if you have to drive 10 minutes, we'll worth it. You'll find it just down from the Gobbins cliff path visitor centre

This place has been here for eons. It's all about the famous ice cream, but there is almost everything here. A proper old-fashioned country shop that sells everything you could need and more on a given day. The gift shop part maybe needs a little more stock, but other than that, on a good day of weather, kick back and grab an ice cream (or two) and take a seat on one of several outside tables watching the traffic arrive from the 'mainland' onto Islandmagee...

We recently visited Taste Coffee and Restaurant in Larne, and it was such a fantastic experience that we completely forgot to take pictures! Thankfully, I found some on their Facebook page, but they hardly do justice to how great this place is. The food was incredible, with so many delicious options to choose from. Everything we tried was bursting with flavor, and the chips and shakes were an absolute must-try! The service was super fast, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. A special shoutout to Joanne, who was absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. If you’re in Larne and looking for the best cafe in town, Taste is a must-visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and can’t wait to come back!
