"You will not be disappointed! So, we bought pavlova. Really light but sticky and chewy, the perfect balance. It was topped with fresh cream and fresh fruit and a side of their famous vanilla ice cream. I made up my own Sundae as the one I had wanted was unavailable. So I had a chocolate brownie and strawberry sundae, it was massive! I was so excited to eat it I forgot to take a picture. We also got affogato, a rich espresso with a side of ice cream, ginger nut biscuit and wafer biscuit. This was also exceptional. We have had lots of ice cream and sundaes from The dessert bar, haven’t had anything yet that we haven’t liked. Good value for money, lovely staff, a family run business for generations. We’ll be back."

Delicious ice cream and desserts, very friendly staff and reasonably priced. Lovely way to end a meal with a walk along a beach.

After spending the day in Ballycastle, we decided to indulge in some ice cream from this establishment. We were impressed by the interesting history of the business, the friendly staff, and the delicious desserts. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience.

The standard and specialty ice creams and desserts at this restaurant were excellent, but unfortunately, their dairy-free options were disappointing. It is now very easy to find high-quality non-dairy milk and ice cream, so there is no excuse for subpar non-dairy products. View menu

The Dessert Bar offers a variety of creative desserts, with a focus on ice cream-based treats. We sampled several options and everyone enjoyed their choices, such as the cloud cone with candy floss and ice cream, and hot chocolate with an ice cream float. Due to COVID restrictions, there is no seating available, but there is plenty of seating in the park across the road.

Cannot recommend this place enough. We ran in as we'd promised our toddler an Ice cream after the beach, she was deciding her flavours as we walked in but we soon realised it was more of an all dessert place rather than an ice cream place, they only sell vanilla soft serve, absolutely beautiful, we came back the next day for more. They sell a variety of desserts but the soft serve ice cream is definitely to die for. Would come back to Ballycastle just for this.
