Having a delicious ice cream on a hot sunny day is such a delightful thing to do. There are lots of ice cream parlours to choose from in St Ives and the surrounding area. Where ever you choose to eat your ice cream though you need to mind those pesky seagulls!
Moomaids Of Zennor
Moomaids ice cream is made in Zennor using milk from their Friesian Holstein cows who graze on the fields overlooking the Atlantic ocean. They produce 39 flavours of ice creams and sorbets, the most delicious one (we think) being Shipwreck!
They have parlours in St Ives, Zennor, St Just and Porthtowan.
LOCATION: Street-an-Pol, St Ives TR26 2DS
Willy Wallers Ice Cream Factory
Willy Wallers Ice Cream Factory is the brightly coloured ice cream shop in the harbour. They have a brilliant spinning wheel of ice creams which helps you to choose from their huge range of yumdiddlyumptious flavours.
LOCATION: Wharf Rd, St Ives TR26 1PZ

Jus' Desserts
Jus' Desserts sits under the Balcony Bar right next to the equally tempting amusement arcade. My kids can't think of anything nicer than spending time in Harbour Amusements followed by a Jus' Desserts ice cream. They also do milkshakes, coffee, slushies, waffle and much to my husband's excitement, whippy soft ice cream!
LOCATION: Wharf Rd, St Ives TR26 1LF

Mr B's Ice Cream
Okay, I know it's Hayle but it is worth the drive over there for a Mr B's. Our children's grandparents live in Hayle and they frequently treat them to a Mr B's which always gets the seal of approval! My chocolate-crazy kids love the Triple Choc Chunk Fudge Chunk Choc Chip Ripple.
LOCATION: 24 Penpol Terrace, Hayle TR27 4BQ
Iced On The Quay
I'm not sure I've driven past Iced On The Quay and not seen a queue for it! They do amazing waffles, milkshakes and desserts plus of course amazing ice creams made by Moomaids. Biscoff Iced Coffee, Eton Mess Sundae, vegan chocolate and salted caramel cheesecake, no wonder there is always a queue! They are open daily 10am to 8pm and are right next door to Philps incase you want a Cornish pasty too.
LOCATION: East Quay, Hayle
Jelberts
Now I'm taking you all the way to Newlyn for this last amazing ice cream parlour. Jelberts is a very humble looking ice cream parlour which always has a queue out of the door. This is because they make the most DIVINE ice cream. They only do one flavour, vanilla, but you can stick in a chocolate flake if you need to jazz it up. It is the creamiest most delicious vanilla ice cream ever and you won't be sorry you made the special trip just for it! You could also of course have a mooch around Newlyn, maybe visit the gallery or go to the very lovely cinema there too.
LOCATION: 9 New Rd, Newlyn, Penzance TR18 5PZ
