Gelato here is amazing! Award winning (Great Taste Gold 2011), and said to be 'the best' in Devon…read more After an antique hunt in Honiton, this was the ideal pit stop for some sweet Gelato, all home made by the team at Otter Valley Farmhouse, I loved my scoop of Tiramisu, and was intrigued but not brave enough to try the curious combo of Butternut Squash & Ginger! (Maybe next time!). Unique for this part of the country.

This place is a must see for all visitors and tourists staying in Torquay. This place is probably…read morethe smallest shop in Torquay! It's literally an ice-cream van but in bricks and mortar. It sells ice cream cornets and branded ice lollies, as well as real devonshire ice cream!!! This business has been around for years, much longer than most other shops on the high street here. Good service with a smile and a great Mr Whippy (with a flake of course!) Well recommended!

We heard about the cows that spontaneously walk into the robotic milking machine. We heard about…read morethe yummy ice cream. We laughed in disbelief. Well, it is all there along with eager farmers who explain the entire process and serve the ice cream which is a delight. All set in a magical valley in a beautiful setting. This was a highlight of our trip to Devon. A must on your itinerary.

Absolutely delicious gelato, friendly staff! It's a small shop and we took our gelato to go, so I…read morecan't remember the seating situation situation. I had pistachio and coconut/Nutella and my husband had the white chocolate. All were delicious, but the coconut Nutella was my fave! Prices were reasonable, and it was the perfect treat on a hot day!

I've been to the shop many times over the years. The shop is lovely...... but be warned. Do NOT ask…read morethem to post clotted cream to anyone you like. They advertise that they use insulated packaging, they don't, they use bubble-wrap (hardly renowned for its insulating properties) and rely on Royal Mail first class postage. As Royal Mail guarantee 90% of first class mail arrives the day after posting the delivery may only be rattling around a hot van/sorting-office/etc for up to 24 hours. But 10% is mistreated for longer. It seems that Gays are happy enough that 90% of their customers are OK, but not overly worried at all that one in ten of their customers are getting deficient product.

A lovely shop and bakery. They sell a wide range of gifts and souvenirs as well as local produce…read moreincluding clotted cream, preserves and cider. The bakery serves a wide range of products including cream teas, pasties and cakes. It is located on the main strip of shops nearest the river so it is ideal to get lunch from the bakery and sit on the tables just on the opposite side of the road.

I have been looking forward to trying the gelato here for ages and all I can say is WOW!…read more The gelato and the ever-changing choice of flavours are, in my opinion all equally immense. The texture is deliciously smooth and creamy, with the flavours being suitably both devilishly rich and indulgent (dark chocolate) or slightly more refined and smooth (tiramisu). On my first visit I plumped for having tiramisu flavour gelato in a brioche bun - who can say no to brioche and gelato, with cream (of course)? This combination of the rich and creamy gelato in a soft and sweet bread bun is to die for. This was accompanied by a double espresso, made with the superbly deep and rich tasting coffee from Extract Coffee company. On my second visit I plumped for a two-scoop cone and chose dark chocolate and tiramisu flavours - amazing! The gelato sold here earns the description artisan and is handmade on site everyday by a family that has over 100 years of gelato making experience using both locally and where required, internationally sourced ingredients for the best flavour. It may not be the cheapest in town but you definitely get what you pay for - heaven in a tub/cone/brioche/ on a stick (you get the idea)!

This was a nice option for gelato close to the Hippodrome. I enjoyed the brownie chocolate, though…read moreit was quite rich. I appreciated that they had a chocolate syrup topping as well.

Introducing Science Ice Cream - Wales' first liquid nitrogen ice cream parlour!…read more Liquid nitrogen ice cream is different, in the best possible way. As each and every serving is made right in front of your eyes, it's fresh. That means that the flavour is everything it could be. As it's frozen in seconds, it's also very smooth. That means that there's a velvety texture and a creaminess that you won't find in the tub at the bottom of your freezer. The Science: The liquid nitrogen rapidly creates miniscule ice crystals, quickly evaporating after coming into contact with the ice cream base. Liquid nitrogen boils at -196C, meaning that there won't be a trace of it left by the time you've given yourself brain freeze. I think it's safe to say if Science lessons were this much fun (and edible) I would have left school with a completely different career path.

Science Cream is just wonderful. We have places like this in the states, but the staff and the shop…read morehere was a whole different experience. Not only is the location wonderful and a perfect location to stop and rest while visiting the castle, but the ice cream is just downright tasty. Our whole trip to Wales was wonderful, and we stopped here to top it off before we headed to the airport. The staff engaged us in a supportive and friendly manner and wasn't too pushy. We felt very welcomed. It is on the pricey side, but not ridiculous.
