"My eagle eyed partner (when it comes to food spotted a tiny ‘Vg’ sign which warranted investigation. Et voila! Vegan ice cream was discovered and thoroughly enjoyed. Having been a few times now, typically there are 4 or 5 flavours to choose from (usually at the right end of the counter) out of a wider 7-8 vegan flavours they have. Technically, they are sorbets which may put some off but don’t be they have the silky smooth consistency of an ice cream and if I hadn’t have been told by the staff, I wouldn’t have known. A big mention has to go to the interior here. As the name suggests, there’s a bit of an Alice in Wonderland vibe here and it just helps make it a little bit more of an experience to visit, especially if you’re not local and have travelled a fair distance. This all sounds great so why only 3*. Well, the problem for vegans at least is that they offer a pretty big menu of ice cream dishes/desserts such as sundaes, waffles and milkshakes. Having gone to the huge efforts of making multiple vegan ice creams, it seemed a big missed opportunity to then find out they had no plant milks at all (I was actually confronted with a ‘what?’ on first asking this question) to make vegan milkshakes. This theme is recurrent to the drinks menu should you wish to get something like a hot chocolate. So do I recommend going? Absolutely. The ice cream itself makes it more than worth it, especially on hot days such as the ones I visited on. It just doesn’t change the fact that they’re only a few tweaks away from being able to open up a much bigger section of the menu to vegans which is a real shame and I hope this is something that changes when I go back in future."

The desserts at this restaurant are fantastic. I enjoyed a delicious gluten-free crepe and the staff were very well-informed about allergies. I would highly recommend this place. View menu

5 vegan ice cream options when we visited. do not wait until later on the day to avoid disappointment, we once went too late and a few aromen had run out. I understand that they have only one specific order for every day

Really nice place. There were 5 vegan choices: apple, mango, lemon, orange, melon (all fruits would have been nice to see some of the non-vegan options veganised It was good for my allergy son to finally have some proper ice cream instead of an ice lolly however, the scoops and cones are HUGE so would be good to have a kids size portion. Overall a good experience.

this place is divine. great for adults and children. alice in the wonderland theme decor. great menu. couple sandwiches available and many sweet deserts to choose from. the ice creams are made in front of location and all bakeries. I tried my first hot chocolate fleet and it won't be my last. we love llandudno and this shop will be a firm favorite that goes forward clean. fun. great personal. great eating.
