"Me and the family discovered this lovely little coffee shop/ice cream parlour/home of lovely treats. A great selection of ice creams with multiple choices for toppings. Fancy looking milkshakes, hot chocolate and coffee. Daughter had sticky toffee pudding ice cream which was delightful and I had a simple americano which was hot and smooth and I really liked the biodegradable cups made from plant based products, no plastic! The staff were really friendly, welcoming and chatty which deserves a 5 star for service."

"People will ask "why would you eat ice cream in winter?" My answer will be "why no?" This is a amazing ice cream shop that sells local and artesanal ice cream with local dairy from local cow. I had the cherry one and my friend the chocolate flavour one, both were very tasty and we could choose different toppings plus a piece of chocolate on top of it( you could choose between stars or heart with white/milk/pink chocolate). Service was lovely and we will be back during Easter. It seems to have even more flavours options. You are welcome to come and have a try."
