Called in for Ice cream on our way to the castle and so glad we did. The ice cream in here is made on site!! Brilliant and fresh every day. I had chocolate and coconut bounty and hubby had pistachio and mango/passion fruit. The scoops were very generous and the price very reasonable. Some of the best ice cream we've ever had. Also did a large variety of sundress at reasonable prices. Would definitely visit again.

We zagen aan het eind van onze wandeling door Caernarfon deze ijssalon met zelfgemaakte ijs. Het bleek dat we 10 minuten voor sluitingstijd daar waren en konden geen ijscoupe meer bestellen. Hebben toen een horentje met 2 bolletjes ijs genomen en het smaakte verrukkelijk. Mochten we weer eens in de buurt komen dan beslist hier naar toe voor een ijsje

Staff unfriendly, unable to purchase ice cream that is a suitable size for a 4 year old. they insist If you want to have two flavours, you must purchase two scoops which is actually about five scoops of ice cream. But who wants that for a 4-year-old? Ridiculous.

This ice cream shop is located right opposite Caenarfon Castle. The ice cream is handmade from local milk and cream and is simply divine! We had waffle cones of mango and passionfruit and New York cheesecake. A real experience. I wish we lived closer so that we could enjoy their ice cream on a regular basis.

While in Caernarfon stopped here with my wife for a ice cream. There was so many flavours to choose from. Although there was a queue of people we wasn't rushed the staff were very friendly and interacted with you. The ice cream was marvellous.. Good old fashioned " service, quality, consistency". Thank you Ladies Tha

We popped in here just as they were closing. It's opposite the castle, which usually means you are partly paying for location and don't get much for your money. How wrong I was! The ice cream is handmade everyday, the portions are the most generous I've ever seen on a cone, and the ice cream itself was really delicious. The ladies serving were also lovely. Highly recommended!

Ended up here after going to another ice cream shop down the road and noticing the very small portion sizes whilst waiting in the queue. It was a good job as the Palas Caffi ice cream was beautiful. Our group had strawberry, cookies and cream and biscoff flavours and they were all very tasty and decent sized portions. The ladies serving behind the counter were very pleasant.

Visited this ice-cream as I do every time I visit Caernarfon on my annual holiday but was a little disappointed with the limited flavours available. A little puzzled why there is a board displaying a significant number of interesting flavours but when it came to choices in the shop, the range was very limited (strawberry, chocolate, mint choc chip, vanilla and perhaps two more). It is indeed first class ice cream and definitely worth a visit but didn't live up to my expectations in terms of range of flavours - expectations set by my previous visits to this ice-cream parlour.

Had the Sunday lunch set menu - the starters were great but the Sunday roast was really disappointing. Everything was drastically underseasoned and the lamb was mostly fat. It was served with both mash and roast potatoes, so it was overly stodgy. Even the broccoli and cauliflower was served in a bland creamy sauce that added to the heaviness of the meal. It is advertised as 3 courses for £30, but it is actually 2 courses for £30 on Sunday. Wouldn't return for Sunday lunch.
