Yum! As we strolled along the streets of Dingle we stumbled on this little ice cream spot and came to realize they had won many awards so we had to try it out. The sea salt ice cream they make at this location is made with the ocean water right outside their door! They boil it down to just get the salt and make a mighty fine sea salt ice cream. I also enjoyed the ice cream container that was made out of wood! The ice cream shop had a couple cute photo opportunities set up. The patio is surprisingly large and features their signature blue on the walls. If you're feeling like a sweet treat, definitely enjoy some ice cream from Murphy's. read more

Seriously, this ice cream was amazing. I ordered the brown bread + dingle sea salt flavor. Couldn't quite describe the brown bread flavor, but I loved it. My husband ordered strawberry and said it was very good too. I read about Murphy's brown bread ice cream before visiting Ireland, and I'd agree that it's a must! read more

I had my doubts that this claimed to be the best in the world but honestly both of my flavors were ridiculously good. Texture and density of the ice cream is so perfect. My butterscotch was just scrumptious indescribable actually. The honeycomb was heavenly and Dads Irish Cream was bowl licking to the last drop. We almost missed this because one of the locations was being painted but we saw the other one open and I am so glad we got to check it out! Workers are happy, customers are happy, Me? So sad I live far away..... read more

Yes and Yes. My wife and I are low carb but we had to have a taste. When you walk in, they give you samples to try of their wonderful creations. We ended up getting Gin, Butterscotch, Sea Salt, and Chocolate. They were all wonderful. A very nice treat before driving back to our Airbnb from Dingle. read more

Murphy's Ice Cream - Delicious - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dingle, Kentucky

Great service, super friendly, nice place to take a rest, cute interior, and crazy tasty.

On a recent trip to Ireland, my husband and I visited Murphy's for ice cream. Murphy's has more than one location in Ireland, but the one in Dingle is the original! There is definitely something special about experiencing delicious foods where they first started. Dingle is a quaint, charming city and Murphy's Ice cream fit naturally and added to the endearing vibe of the city. The staff at Murphy's was patient and friendly. They gave us samples of interesting flavors and described the flavors we didn't sample. My husband and I ordered raspberry sorbet, chocolate, and coffee. I wish the scoops were bigger! It was the creamiest ice cream we have ever experienced!! Def worth a stop when you're in town and have a sweet tooth. read more

Murphy's Ice Cream - Creamiest ice cream ever - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dingle, Kentucky

I am an absolute fan of Murphy's and in my opinion it's the best ice-cream alongside Movenpick in Switzerland! However it can get a wee bit expensive @ €10 for 500ml!! So I got the Sticky Toffee special for €6.50 and instead of two scoops of brown butter, the server instead upon my request substituted the Dingle Gin ice-cream instead. I really savored the taste and texture and cant wait to go back - have the flavours already picked out too (honey and lavender in case anyone is curious).

Sea salt is the most popular flavour. They after cone cups and cones all sorts of Sundays with caramel drizzle or cookies inside of the ice cream. I had sea salt and chocolate together and it was ok. Not amazing, not world-famous, but good ice cream that was pricey. Like you are on holiday at a seaside town. Lol. read more

Murphy's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dingle, Kentucky

Holy Molly Murphy Holy. This is by far the best ice cream I've ever have. Lord had mercy, please open one soon like this in the state. I soon to realize the country of Ireland is famous for its dairy product after seeing so many cows during my road trip. Happy cows = good milk = excellent ice cream. Simple equation. I tried four flavors. And here are my list of dreams: Irish Coffee: strong Irish coffee with transitional whisky blend into the famous ice cream. Probably the best coffee ice cream ever. Caramelized Brown Bread: I couldn't stop laughing when I taste this one cuz it tastes exactly like the brown bread except it's sweet. Definitely should give it a try. Lavender Flower + Dingle Gin: my bartender friend orders this one. He said this will taste like lavender gin in a cone which I totally agree. Atlantic Sea Salt & Butterscotch: also two popular favors. I just wish I can order another cup, but I only have one stomach. read more

An Irish Coffee ice cream topped with Sea Salt ice cream in a waffle cone, whilst enjoying a stroll through utterly lovely Dingle on a Sunday afternoon? I mean. As if things couldn't get any better...the Irish Coffee ice cream has real whiskey in it. And, it's incredibly good. This stuff is made with milk from real Kerry cows, which the sign says are rarer than a Giant Panda. I'll take their word for it. The ice cream is damn good. Also, hats off to the staff. Super friendly, outgoing, helpful and sweet. They may be teens, but nary a whiff of angst that usually goes along with working at an ice cream shop in the summer. Well done, well done. Really impressive. A worthwhile stop -- ! read more

Murphy's Ice Cream - Happy customer! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dingle, Kentucky

I didn't have any intentions of seeking out ice cream in Ireland, but the flavors intrigued me. My husband and I stopped in between dinner and pub crawling. He got the chocolate sorbet since he's dairy free, and it was terrific. The rich chocolate flavor was sweet and complex. It manages to be creamy without the dairy. I veered towards the Dingle gin (having just been to the distillery) and caramelized brown bread. It was a brilliant combo! The gin flavor was a knockout and tasted just like the gin itself. The brown bread provided a light toasty flavor and added a nice texture. It's a must do in Dingle. read more

A bit pricey, but great ice cream. Plus......they have vegan sorbet!!!!! Actually, they had two kinds which was awesome. The gal behind the counter was super nice, and talked to me about the origins of the company, and just for the heck of it gave me a voucher for a free scoop! We talked recipes, and manufacturing, it was a grand old time. They had cool flavors like Guinness, Jameson Whiskey, Bread, Sea Salt (was actually pretty good), Honey Carmel, Dark Chocolate, etc. Spent 9 euro for two people, but I was glad I came. read more

Best ice cream we experienced while in Ireland! Awesome flavors, incredibly patient and helpful staff, decadent and addicitive ice cream! If you are anywhere near Dingle (County Kerry), make your way to Murphy's (and I think they have additional locations in Dublin & Killarney). We ordered five different kinds (for our family) and each of us loved our flavors (and kids swore it was "the best ever"). Staff was very friendly, allowed us to sample an unending variety of flavors. Hope Murphy's makes its way to the United States! Awesome 5-Star Ice Cream! read more

Had the dingle sea salt and honey crisp caramel, went back later for chocolate and something else, my friends loved both the strawberry and brown bread. Staff were super pleasant. Loved the ice cream and would have brought a ton home if I could have. read more

Sea salt flavoured ice cream is a thing. And it's bloody delicious! I popped in here for a spot of dessert this evening. Having been a Murphys Virgin, I didn't know what to expect, but had heard ALOT about the Dublin store - let's just say my expectations were high!! Well, they were defiantly exceeded! The staff were incredibly friendly. The type of people that seem to "love their job"! I went for a small cone of SEA SALT flavour and HONEYCOMB (amazing combo)! The ice cream has that home made taste and texture, and the cone itself is a proper biscuit one...not one of those flimsy wafer ones! Delish! Cannot wait to try more flavours! read more

Worth the trip to Dingle (but also see they have locations in Dublin & Killarney) some of the best ice cream I've enjoyed ever! Reminds me of Jeni's ice cream from Columbus, Ohio with their funky handcrafted flavors. Staff very friendly, allowed you sample variety of flavors. I tried a large (three flavors) with Guinness, of course they have to have an ice cream after the beer of Ireland, Peppermint and More Chocolate - the More Chocolate was the best hands down, rich creamy chocolate with chocolate chunks! So when will your ice cream be available in the states? read more

After trying their ice cream first in Dublin and then at another town, we knew that we had to get to their real store. Eating here is an experience: Perhaps licking the ice cream at Murphy's should be added to a top 5 list of things to do in the country along with walking the Cliffs of Moher and kissing the Blarney Stone. While waiting in line, we were approached with employees asking us if we want any samples, constantly returning to ask if we wanted anything else to try. The ice cream was thick, not too sweet, and with an explosion of flavour in every bite. What is more, the place is tastefully decorated and the flavours are creative. read more

Fantastic ice cream shop -- freshly made and extremely friendly staff. A must-stop during your daily stroll --

So good. And I don't even like ice cream. I had the creamy dreamy Caramell and it was amazing. Super smooth and creamy. Highly recommend. The people are also extremely friendly. Definitely worth stopping in and train the ice cream on your trip to Dingle, Ireland. read more

Delicious ice cream with interesting flavors! We had fudge chocolate, and rums and raisins. We also had a cappuccino, which was pretty good. The ice cream servers were extremely friendly and kind! We would recommend this place both for its ice cream and hospitality! read more

Delicious ice cream try the Irish Coffee, it includes whiskey in it, which I'm fully a fan of. The flavors are very good for any type of weather. read more

Not sure if there is anything more to say about this place that hasn't been said, but I will gladly pile on. The flavors are fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We went there at least once every day while we were in Dingle. I recommend that you do the same! read more

The best ice cream place in Dingle, Murphy's Ice Cream warrants a visit no matter the weather. The Ice Cream place is far better than any ice cream place in the U.S. Why do you ask? Because where else can you get Ice Cream made with Dingle Gin? That alone warrants a five star review, and everything else about the experience reaffirms that. The staff was one of the friendliest in all of dingle, letting us try free samples and encouraging us to try more, and the ice cream itself is magnificent. Especially the gin one. Did I bring that up yet? read more

I fail to see what makes this place so popular. It is a simple ice cream stand. Sure the staff were friendly, but it tasted just like regular ice cream. I certainly didn't think it was great ice cream and I have definitely had better even from the grocery store. What I do find ridiculous are the prices here. So, yes it was good, but for the price it was terrible. I wouldn't go back. read more

OMG! Sticky toffee puddiing!! You must try it - it's a specialty! For me, no reason to try anything else! Don't bother with a small size! For a dollar or three more, you get twice as much. Husband had the sea salt. He loved it. They said sea salt is their most popular flavor. I still vote for the sticky toffee pudding!! Yes!! This ice cream is extremely expensive, even compared to Ben & Jerry's or Häagen-Dazs. However I would take Murphy's ice cream over any ice cream I've ever had! Sticky! Toffee! Pudding! read more

Fantastic ice cream. Good standard flavors and interesting unusual flavors. Worth a try if you're looking for an ice cream fix.

So you really have to hand it to staff when they are so finely attuned to the needs of frazzled parents that they offer the mother standing beside me some ice cream on the house, clearly spotting she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown, with four kids in tow fighting furiously over whose cone is bigger or better than the next. Now that's class. The staff here are so lovely that you don't mind handing over twenty quid for your troubles every time you step inside the door. And the coffee is first-rate. Beware, though. Lest you think you can pass by abstemiously (ice cream, unlike bread, can't lure you in with its aroma, not even the brown bread variety), staff are prowling the streets offering samples. You will succumb, so don't try to fight it, read more

A must try if you find yourself in Dingle! Amazing and creative flavors. Definitely my son's favorite part of the day! read more

Love love love! This place came recommended via Pinterest posts about Dingle! Not only was the ice cream delicious (and I'm not much of an ice cream person) but the customer service was wonderful! The girls working were SO kind and allowed my friend and I to try a few sample flavors! One even chatted with us about Ireland related topics, and didn't make us "visitors" feel like an inconvenience what so ever! Darling place, very clean inside, and such good ice cream we went back the next day! We also found out, there's two Murphy's ice cream shops on the same street! The one closer to the Irish jewelry store is the Original! So much better! We were told the other one is more of a stop for tourist buses etc. read more

Murphy's Ice Cream - The Original Murphy's Ice Cream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dingle, Kentucky

This is specifically for the Dingle location, but we had the opportunity to visit two other locations while traipsing around the country, and everything applies to those locations and, I would assume, the entire chain. The ice cream is delicious; creamy and flavorful. We're especially impressed with their "brown bread" flavor, but we also had chocolate, sea salt, and "Kieran's cookies". The last is a superior version of cookies & cream. The employees were all spectacularly upbeat and friendly at every location. The whole operation kind of reminds me of In-'N'-Out here in Southern California, which is not a bad thing. read more

Literally the best sundae I have ever had. I love this place. We have gone twice already and it probably won't be our last before leaving Ireland. The sticky-toffee pudding is delicious and worth the extra. The staff is friendly and encourage you to try the flavors. Love love love. read more

I don't know what else to say besides the ice cream at Murphy's is DELICIOUS!!! The staff offered samples of the variety of flavors they carry, but we immediately just went for sea salt and Irish whiskey, which didn't disappoint! I look forward to the next time we can go back to Murphy's! read more

My husband and I stopped here based on recommendations in our guidebooks and it did not disappoint. They are liberal with samples, so try everything. The ice cream is some of the best I've ever had and their daily specials are super delicious. The gin flavored ice cream was surprisingly good and their caramelized brown bread ice cream was spectacular. Best of all, the ingredients are all sourced locally and the ice cream is handmade. Don't miss this place if you're in Dingle. read more

Single scoop of strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone: 3.50 euros. Pricey place but so was all of Ireland. The drive to Dingle is so worth the trip. I think the natural beauty of this peninsula easily rivals that of the Ring of Kerry. The ice cream? So-so. read more

They have really excellent ice cream in an absolutely beautiful area of Ireland. They encourage tasting before you buy, and they have some really interesting flavors. I particularly enjoyed the unusal aspect of sea salt. The staff is friendly and efficient. There really are two of them in town, so you can choose location as well as flavors. read more

Splendid! They service is top notch and friendly. The employees (who seem to have the best job in the world) we're so sweet. They have us samples of all the ice creams. And they had such a pleasant demeanor when tending to us. You have to try the dingle sea salt and the Irish coffee; both we're so delicious. And the Irish coffee is by far the best coffee ice cream I have ever had. read more

I was recommended this place by a local. The ice cream here is awesome! The milkiness of the ice creams is lovely- you can tell they use high quality stuff for their base. I found this very apparent in all the ice cream flavors I tried. I was a huge fan of the gin and Irish coffee flavors. They are happy to let you try whatever flavors you're interested in. There also may be a staff member walking around with a tray full of things to try. Lots of tastings! I agree that they're kind of pricey starting at 4 Euro for a small. The nice thing is- the main store I went to said the prices went more by size rather than number of flavors. So I tried 4 flavors in a medium. Then I went back after lunch (to the other store in Dingle that I didn't know was just a little ways down) and got my two favorites in a small. No regrets. read more

Food/Cost: (3.75) I came here after lunch for a sweet treat to end the meal. I ended up getting a small cup (3.50 euros), which comes with two small scoops of ice cream (or sorbet, depending on what you choose). I chose Honeycomb and Cookies n Cream. I loved the Honeycomb flavor; it had small pieces of honeycomb dispersed throughout for flavor and crunch to liven up an otherwise subtle flavored ice cream. The Cookies n Cream was okay; it didn't have any obvious chunk of cookies like I thought it would and the flavor profile wasn't strong strong enough for me. The ice cream here doesn't seem to have a high fat content; I say this because my Cookies n Cream ice cream was bordering almost on icy. Before ordering, I sampled many other flavors: Dark Chocolate, Guinness, Vanilla, and Dingle Sea Salt. In the end, I felt that all those flavors were better than the Cookies n Cream. If you like chocolate, the Dark Chocolate is pretty amazing. The Guinness ice cream was very subtle and I barely got the hint of Guinness. The vanilla is good-ol-reliable-vanilla. The Dingle Sea Salt is a must-try here -- it reminded me of the ice cream in butter pecan. In sum, I'd recommend at least trying the Honeycomb and Dingle Sea Salt flavors before pinning down your choice. Those two flavors are truly unique and great flavor profiles. Now if only I could somehow get those flavors back home in the US... If we were judging purely on the ice cream , I would give Murphy's a 4.5 / 5; however, as I rate food in light of the cost, the rating came down to a 3.75 as the cost is quote steep for such small scoops. Ambiance: (4) This is a cute little ice cream parlor with a smattering of other treats like baked goodies. The blue color they chose is cute, upbeat, and inviting, which is exactly the feeling conveyed to the customers here. Location: (5) Located on the main street in Killarney, Murphy's is situated in prime location for those in search of a sweet treat. Service: (5) The two men behind the counter during my visit were super friendly and helpful. The one helping my friend and I gave us each about 5 samples as we stood there deliberating among the different flavors. Overall: (3.5) I want to love this place, but the price gets to me. Still, I have a feeling I may think about that Honeycomb ice cream again. read more
