Customer Review Summary
Waffles are the dish reviewers name most, though opinions split: some describe them as a little undercooked or burnt, and one says the portion has shrunk since 2019 and the shop could not take it back. Ice cream and desserts draw the steadier praise, with reviewers singling out the ice cream sundaes, the cheesecake, the milkshakes for their consistency, and light, soft banana and caramel pancakes. Many mention the wide choice, generous portions, comfortable seats and a clean room, and one group says staff pushed tables together to seat them. The recurring complaints are soggy food and slow service. Reviewers cite donuts heated in a microwave and returned for sogginess, a takeaway box that leaked, a crepe that tasted doughy and bland without its sauce, and waits for orders to arrive. One longtime customer reports a hot dog missing its mustard and a mocha served in a paper cup with no napkin. One reviewer notes the toilet had no running water for handwashing, and another says the cookie dough machine was out of order, which staff mentioned at the door.

“I’ve been a loyal customer at Icestone Gelato for years and have always loved the experience — until now. I ordered an OG hot dog, which should come with mustard and ketchup, but it arrived with only a tiny smear of ketchup. My mocha, usually served beautifully in a proper cup with a napkin and spoon, was handed to me in a paper takeaway cup with no flavor, no sugar, and no napkin. There were several other mistakes as well. Previously, when we finished and had empty plates, the staff would always ask if they could take them away. This time, with lots of dishes on the table and almost no space, no one asked if they could clear anything. What once felt like a luxurious, carefully prepared restaurant now feels more like a rushed takeaway. Truly disappointing. That said, the desserts we ordered were excellent — both delicious and beautifully presented.”

“Warning very soggy food!! Left it on table for 5 minutes made a horrible mess even with the thick box. The crepe size is decent on the other hand.”

“Very friendly and courteous staff, they cleaned our chosen table immediately. Lots of choice of desserts, hard to choose! Very generous portions and more than fair prices for the quantity. Clean, non-noisy and served with all amenities. Super recommended!”

“Ice cream Sundays were very good.... It took 30mins for them to make ours however... The biggest issue was that the toilet had no running water for washing your hands?!? Yuck.”
