"I enjoyed the waffle and ice cream but the sea salt caramel ice cream and sauce were quite bitter. Maybe its just my taste but its very different to any caramel flavour I've tasted. Husband got guava and it was delicious! In general quite pricey but great creamy ice cream"

"Have been here multiple times and always thoroughly enjoy the location, the ice-cream and the variety of flavours. The inspiration behind the flavours is fantastic and there are always new ones coming in, almost impossible to have a favourite. Pretty much my go-to ice-cream shop and it doesn't seem that this will change any time soon."
