Step back in time to an immaculate, warm and friendly good old tradition ice cream parlour. As a family, I have been coming here for 40 years. I have not found anywhere in the world that can touch the vanilla ice cream. Fantastic prices and ultimately the best place. 10/10

It's our first time coming up to Rhyl for a holiday and let's just say this ice cream parlour was a great touch to the area. The parlour has a old traditional look, which is what I love the most about it. Prices were very cheap and were priced at odd numbers like 24p for a flake, £1.03 for a cone and we were then served by a polite gent suited smart in a white coat. If you fancy something a little different with a hint of class, this is the place to come. I will be definitely coming again

Visited this place on a very cold & grim day in May while waiting to go to another town. Was really looking forward to trying out this historic place and overall was happy with my experience. We ordered a cup of coffee and Ovaltine. The lady who works there was happy to chat and talk about the history of the café and town. The café serves basic drinks (which is not a criticism) and some cakes. Also ice cream is available, although we haven't tried that. If you're looking for a Starbucks/Costa type of place then this is not for you. The feeling of the café somewhat resembled Bar Italia in London to me (although nowhere near as busy) and Bar Luce in Milan thanks to its interiors that literally haven't been changed since the 50s (look at those pink walls and sconces!). Unfortunately, my experience was a bit disappointing as when I tried to take a picture of the beautiful interior (not the lady) for my memories of the place the lady owner wasn't all too happy about it. And while she hasn't said anything directly to me or explained why (other than "I hope it's not for the professional use" - I was taking pictures with my phone, so, of course, not), after that I felt like I was being watched, especially if I happened to touch my phone for any reason. So in the end I felt like I wanted to leave as soon as possible (hence the 4 star rating), even though we did enjoy the drinks. I feel this place would be perfect for scooterists who go for coffees in groups or for cyclists passing by. Overall, it seemed like a good place with amazing prices compared to anywhere else, but with a bit of more XXI century 'social friendly' customer service - it really could become great and THE place to visit when you come to Rhyl (after all it is more than 100 years old). Would definitely give it another go!
