Hufenfa'r Castell in Gwynedd

This is genuinely the most amazing ice cream that I’ve eaten in my life (trust me, there’s been a lot…) - and even that statement is completely underselling it. It’s creamy, tasty, wholesome, and there are lots of great flavours to choose from. I loved that you could have half a scoop of two flavours. To be honest, half a scoop was the size of one small scoop, so portion sizes were generous. This seemed fair for the £3.60 cost. I would happily pay it all over again and wish I could take this ice cream shop home with me! They also sold a delicious looking range of handmade chocolate and fudge, but I only wanted ice cream. If you’re in Harlech, you absolutely must go here. There are plenty of benches close by at the castle on which to enjoy your ice cream. I chose the chocolate orange and the elderflower flavours. Both were total winners!

Genuinely, the best chocolate ever! Handmade on the premises - texture, creaminess, flavours punching through. Vegan options too. Definitely somewhere to drop in to while in Harlech, or visiting the Castle. They also do mail-order 👍

After visiting the Castle we had lunch in the park followed by some or the best ice cream we have ever had. Both boys had mint choc chip with welsh fudge on top. My wife had seabuck thorn with lemon cheese cake on top, and I had white chocolate with Harlech chocolate on top. This ice cream is a must do in Harlech.

Wonderful ice cream, it’s just amazing … and the proprietors are extremely Kind and accommodating

Delightful flavours and the tastiest cone. Homemade choccies inside too. Great service thankyou

the ice cream is great, the owners need to step off a little bit, they also own the deli next door which is ridiculously over price , and that very awful attitude of " well there's no other shop in the area so that’s our prices “ , but the reason i gave this three star not a five star ( which the ice cream might deserve )is in a hope that they see this ( as a lower star rating it may stand out more ) and seeing this will take action. the thing that does drive you mad is the welsh flag they insist on putting in their ice cream, the problem isn't the flag but how many of them you then see littering the streets....the ice cream does not lose its value with out a flag, so just stop adding it, my children played a game about how many flags they could find on the street....it was pretty high number, but its another littering thing to see on the floor ( in a town where bin collections are few and far between as well )and i appreciate the owners may read this and say its down to the individual to be responsible, which is fair, but people aren't, and it doesn't change the fact your giving them tools to be able to litter a town you say you're proud of, im surprised the locals haven't kicked up a fuss because if they see them on the floor they know where the flags came from.

The chocolate bars here are amazing. Just tried the white chocolate bar with lime and lemon 🍋 and it was delicious. Very strong citrus flavour came through and the chocolate just melts in your mouth. So if you like these flavours then I definitely recommend this new chocolate bar. .

The ice cream here is excellent, even by the high standards of what I'd tried from various places offering homemade ice cream across Wales. It was delicious and creamy and came in a range of great flavours. I tried both black cherry cheesecake and rum & raisin and both were fantastic. They offer cones and cups and one small but excellent thing is that you can order a single scoop quantity but as a 'half and half' option, so you can try two flavours with quantity of one and without the cost of paying full price for a double scoop.

Delicious! Flavours may change every day, but most common ones are always there. Friendly staff who will make your wait (in a queue) pleasant. Really nice ice creams, a must have when you visit Harlech.

Staff were lovely and so was the ice cream! Also love that the pots are recyclable and the spoon is biodegradable. I went for the elderflower ice cream which was subtle but you could taste the quality of the ice cream
