This is a cute little ice cream shop on the main road in Kalk Bay, a perfect stop for us after exploring some of the interesting shops. We enjoyed tasting the ice cream before choosing our flavour. We had Turkish delight, pina colada, the famous Belgian chocolate, choc mint and pistachio. I had the pistachio and I didn't taste this before ordering, and I was quite disappointed in the mild flavour. My husband had the pina colada, and that was absolutely yum. The Turkish delight was also delightful. Belgian chocolate and choc mint was very good, but very ordinary. You can sit down in the little shop, there's about 6 chairs and a counter looking out over the street, and outside they have a bench. Really more a takeaway ice cream place. Take your ice cream and wander through all the little quaint shops whilst dreamily licking away.
Had some lovely Gelato after a glorious walk along Kalk Bay Beach today. I had the strawberry flavor, which was divine. Husband had an orange scoop, and baby girl had strawberry scoop topped with a lemon scoop. Yum. Delicious!
Scorching hot! Swarming with tourists. Yip, silly me decided to ‘day trip’ to kalk bay on a public holiday. This place was my safe haven, my retreat... to soothe the heat and crowds away.
Super friendly store assistants that allow you to try the various flavours before purchasing. I opted for the ginger flavoured ice cream on a waffle cone. Yum! It was like a cold ginger snap cookie, root beer on a cone, Xmas in my mouth!
Out I trotted with my cone in hand and somehow forgot about the crowds on the street...
Their ice creams of absolutely delicious. I had a blueberry cheesecake and Belgian chocolate scoops on a sugar cone. You can only pay with a card if your order exceeds R50. They also encourage the recycling of the wooden spoons. It’s a great little spot.
We stopped here for some desert and a stroll along the harbour today because we had a wonderful summers day smack bang in the middle of winter (thanks global warming).
I had the Belgian Chocolate and the Fudge and Flake. The chocolate was absolutely yum, creamy and all sorts of chocolate-y goodness. The fudge left a big hole in my heart because it tasted like coffee (which I don't drink btw), I expected way more because I loved the chocolate scoop so much.
My mom had the Turkish Delight as well as a Pistachio scoop which were both let downs because they were so sweet.
I'm an ice cream lover and will give them another go because the chocolate ice cream was just that good. Also, big ups to the small businesses doing their thing! I love supporting you guys!
P.S. don't forget to tip the staff! They're all saving to travel, so your extra change goes a long way
One of my favourite ice cream spots in Cape Town. Cheaper than most gelato places and worthy of drive to Kalk bay on a Sunday afternoon. The mint and chocolate combo has to be the most popular. If two scoops are too much of a sugar rush opt for half/half option. The smiling faces and the patience of those behind the counter always impresses me.
See photos for - Sugar cone with coffee and licorice (note: if you love licorice, this is the scoop to try) & Tub with Belgian chocolate and pistachio, with the chocolate being the clear winner.
Small corner shop located across from the Kalk Bay station serving a large assortment of gelatos and sorbets!
After spending the day at Dalebrook, we decided to take a walk along the Main road and made an impromptu stop at The ice Cafe. I opted for the Granadilla Sorbet in a sugar cone and my friend chose the coffee gelato. It was super refreshing and the value for money is great!
My FAVORITE place to get ice cream. So many different flavours to choose from and all of them are so yummy.
I had the mango sorbet and lemon sorbet. My fiancé had the passion fruit yoghurt and mango sorbet.
The price is so reasonable.
Only reason for not getting a 5 would be that the venue could look more modern.
Always a place I visit when I am that side.
Great ice cream! What more could you want on a hot day, while walking around window shopping. I had a the belgian chocolate and the coffee mixed, absolutely delicious. I'm pretty sure all thier flavours are good as there is a constant flow of people.
The service here is nice and the price is low (19.5 rand for a basic scoop), but the chocolate ice cream was not very flavorful at all. I imagine it might be a better choice to pick something fruit flavored. Overall, still a nice and not too expensive treat on a hot day.
A legendary place to stop for an ice cream if you're in the area. Great quality ice cream for a reasonable price. We stop here on every visit to Kalk Bay or on the way to Simon's Town. Keep up the great service!
Easily the best ice cream around. If you're on a tight budget and willing to share a selection with your family once you find a spot to watch the waves a little ways down the road, get the family box. Any 6 (generous) scoops for just R85.
Don’t you just love it when you find a small spot with friendly & helpful staff and then find out the product is absolutely World Class! We tried three different flavours (apparently they change often). We had liquorice, blueberry cheesecake and Belgian chocolate. It was the perfect consistency, it was not ridiculously sweet, the flavours were genuine with no synthetic flavours and weird aftertaste when we were done. Guess we will be going back to try more flavours! Go see for yourself – properly made, and served with a smile.
Drove all the way from home just to get here. We got here just as they were closing and they kindly stayed open to serve us. They were still filled with energy at the end if their day and gave me and my girlfriend a pleasant experience. Was 100% worth it. Best customer service I experienced in a long time. I recommend getting the amazing strawberries and cream flavour, 10/10. And an 11/10 experience.
Today's ice cream taste wasn't the norm, less cream and flavour, no bits of flavour swirled in between, I don't know what to make of it. The last few times I came here it was like nothing I have ever tasted before, amazing ice cream, it used to be my favourite little place, like a hidden gem, now it's just hidden flavour. I usually order pistachio and hazelnut, or mango, not impressed today. A wasted trip. You guys used to rock, what's happening. I know you can do it again..
I will be going back as the owners were kind enough to respond. Thank you ice Cafe
They have a very good selection of ice cream flavours and even some for vegans. Whether you want something classic or somewhat different i.e. marmalade flavour they have it. Decently priced too.
Really good local ice cream at an affordable price, definitely loved it
love the variety and speedy service. the benches outside are a great advert. Many tourist kids can't resist tugging at their parents when they see people on the bench serving long licks on their ice cream 😁
Great selection of ice creams and cones - a must stop off in Kalkbay during the summer and even winter months 👍bright and beach inside 🌞
