"I have a gluten allergy and the staff was very well educated on Celiac disease. They were able to tell me what ice cream may be cross contaminated and which ones definitely have not. They also made sure to sanitize the scoops before using for someone with celiac without me asking. Plus they have a delicious gluten free waffle cone! Overall great experience!!"

"Enjoyed our ice cream here. Great place to cool down during hot days. There were great selections to choose from. They’re also selling smoothies and milkshakes. There are seatings outside, exciting place to have the ice cream and watch people and cars go by. Wheelchair and pram friendly."

"Although the exterior doesn’t look like anything crazy, we found great ice-cream here from a decent selection. The owner was lovely and engaged in genuine and personable conversation. In a tourist town like Torquay where plenty of business goes to a chain ice-cream shop, it was nice to support a local :)"

"My partner and I came into this little shop and night one of our holiday, we ENJOYED our icecreams so throughoughly IT WAS squished in all the way to the TIP and FLAVOURFUL icecreams with a very nice BALENCE of creaminess and sweetness. I hate to admit we couldn't try just Nordenfine and say it was the best icecream and service in the area, so we tried them all, and to our disappointment there was alot of waffle cone thrown in the bin where the icecream didn't meet the bottom and well as taste getting me all upset because I just had the same flavours at Nordenfine the night before and it was amazing!! so in my final words of review it is a MUST GO! (and try the chocolate dipped cone) PROS: * There Prices are fairer * Icecream squished to the bottom * Icecream flavours are delishous, balanced, deverse and true to their description! * Staff are so joyful and friendly and have amazing energy both times I went! * BIG BALLS, no flaking out on ice cream here. CONS: * When you go back home (assuming you don't live there), you get VERY VERY upset when you partner says no to a 3 hour adventure only to get an ice cream from Nordenfine and come home. Thank you so much for our icecreams!!"

"Eden was fabulous!! She was so kind and approachable and easy to talk to! Relaxed but professional and served us well. A real asset to Frenchie's. Ice cream on a perfect day like today really tops it all off! :)"

"The icecream is Peter's ice cream which is ok. I do wish there was more of a natural homemade style. I am glad there is an option while at beach but have been known to drive to Anglesea to get a good home-made style icecream from a place that ice cream isn't their only product. Good ice cream but not amazing."
