What happytravellady likes about The Windermere Ice Cream Co:
This place is just up from the piers so is ideally situated for ice creams and other confectionery. There was a choice of about 10 flavours but the scoops were a bit skinny. Nice taste though. Pricey but no doubt due to location. View all feedback. What kanjania doesn't like about The Windermere Ice Cream Co:
Seeing the big ques, we waited so long, however only to be told you cannot even try any flavour. So we went ahead and purchased the icecream only to bin it, as the taste was below supermarket ice cream levels. Not recommended! View all feedback.

The service was robotic, condescending and almost unpleasant. The man who served us an ice cream was not wearing any gloves which was very concerning! He hadn’t...

Ice cream ok, was concerned that the guy serving wasn’t wearing gloves was also dealing with cash!

The ice cream shop offers an extensive selection of flavors, with some customers enjoying the delicious taste and generous portion sizes. However, others were disappointed by the lackluster quality, messy appearance of the parlour, and issues with staff service, especially regarding allergies. Despite mixed reviews, those looking for a wide range of options and friendly service may find this ice cream shop worth a visit, particularly for gluten-free options and unique flavors like damson and gingerbread. Overall, while some improvements are needed, many customers still found the experience enjoyable and satisfying.

The ice cream selection at this restaurant is nice with a variety of flavors, but unfortunately, all of the rare flavors we wanted to try were unavailable.

Not worth it. The ice cream parlour looks untidy, not well cleaned, and the ice cream flavours… well, are just missing: only sugar, ice and colouring. I’m sure...
