Chill - Ice Cream & Coffee
About Chill - Ice Cream & Coffee
Scooping Mauds ice cream alongside its coffees, Chill - Ice Cream & Coffee sits on Cavehill Road in Belfast. The counter pairs a selection of coffees with extravagant hot chocolates, and pancakes come as a stack, with cakes and other baked goods filling out the rest of the day's offering. Orders run on a walk-in basis, so there is no booking to arrange. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance opens the shop to visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs make it workable for families with young children. Dogs are welcome to come inside with their owners. Seating outside gives customers the option of taking their coffee and ice cream in the open air, and the doors open daily.

“Hot chocolate was luke warm, definitely not hot, cake was dry on outside, someone came in with a dog on one of them extension leads, letting it sniff around people and it was barking, not one staff member said anything. I recommend get your food takeaway and run. Definitely not worth the money, nothing chill about it unfortunately 😕 😒”
