    Callestick Farm Ice Cream

    Callestick Farm Ice Cream

    (2 reviews)

    Though I don't think this is the best ice cream in the world (or country or even county), I *do*…read morethink this is a great attraction. It was a lovely little farm, with cute towns and another farm (that makes cider) nearby. In the main building, there are detailed descriptions of how the farm and the dairy work, including photos, video, and a peek into the facilities themselves. It wasn't crowded - even on a Saturday (though note that you can't see the dairy workers live on Saturdays). There were farm animals you could pet or see (pigs, chicks, etc.), and a place to wash your hands afterwards. The gift shop was cute: it sold fudge, stuffed animals, greeting cards, books, plates, and of course, ice cream. The tea room had ample flavors, and the cashier/ice cream scooper was very kind and charming. I enjoyed the chocolate fudge flavor, and my friends liked their white chocolate hazelnut and mint chocolate chip. They also offered clotted cream vanilla, clotted cream strawberry, clotted cream black currant, cherry jubilee, pistachio, oriental ginger, honeycomb crunch, banoffee, and lemon sorbet. Looks like the flavors vary depending on when you visit. I'm so glad we stopped here. It was an excellent way to break up the drive.

    What can I say, other than this is very likely the very best ice cream in the entire freakin'…read moreworld? We're talking rich, creamy, made with fresh fruit and clotted cream, bursting with flavour, sweet but not overpowering, icy wonderfulness here. The first time I had this, I was in shock ice cream could be this amazing. Fast forward 7 years, and I don't feel like I'm actually home unless my visit has involved eating Callestick Farm ice cream. The absolute best is the blackcurrant & cream (made with Cornish clotted cream!!!) ice cream, but I'm not positive they're still making that. Otherwise, the strawberry and cream is a close second! Best of all, not only can you get these by going to the farm (which I've done) but now, you can also pick up pints at Sainsbury's, and tons of local restaurants, tourist traps (does every English Heritage site in Cornwall stock Callestick?), and shops also sell Callestick... Sometimes I'm really surprised that I don't leave Cornwall weighing 10 pounds more than when I arrived... and also, really grateful I can't get this stuff in Canada.

    Friendly cafe with ice cream and breakfast & lunch menus. I had a delicious morning mocha, then…read morecame back for some ice cream that same day. Not too far from the busiest part of town, but also kinda not too close to there. I chilled out here for a good while and read, enjoying the atmosphere thoroughly. I like it and I'll definitely return next time I'm in St Ives.

    Voted by the Times as the second best place to eat Ice Cream in the UK…read more.. I don't know who came in first, but I can't argue with the fact that this is pretty tasty ice cream in a pretty gorgeous location. The Ice cream is produced in Zennor, a tiny village with 28 inhabitants which we had passed through while walking the Cornish Coastal Path. The company is family run and the ice cream is made from milk from Daisy, Primrose and Sid Vicious, and many other Friesian cows on Tremedda Farm. They then produce about 30 different flavours of ice cream and sorbet which it then sells through this little shop in St Ives. The shop itself is tiny with just a couple of small tables, however they still manage to serve cream teas and coffees along side the ice creams. Its situated right on the beach front so perfect for take away, particularly when the Cornish sun is shining. I went for the orange and mascarpone flavour which was simply divine. Would I like a free wafer with that? Of course, does anyone ever say no?! I would have to agree with the Times, certainly one of the best ice creams I have been lucky enough to taste. Send some up to Sussex please!
