CREAM OF THE CROP: THE BEST ICE CREAM IN SOUTH WALES

The cream of the crop: the best ice cream in South Wales!

After a few false starts, it looks like summer’s here – and it’s back with a vengeance. And what better than to cool off when the temperature rises than a delicious scoop of ice cream or two?The verdant rural pastures of Wales mean that when it comes to ice cream, there’s very few who can match us. Add to the proud tradition of Welsh-Italian cafes and ice cream parlours – a fixture here since the industrial revolution - and you’ve got a recipe for some of the best frozen delights in all of the country.Here’s some of our favourite spots…

Joe’s: Swansea, Cardiff & Llanelli

The queues snaking out on to Mumbles Road on a sunny day attest to the wild popularity of Joe's – probably south Wales’ most famous and beloved ice cream. The company dates back to 1898, when Luigi Cascarini moved to the region from the Abruzzi Mountains in Italy and set up a café for industrial workers in the area. Joe’s is a mainstay of Swansea seaside life, but the lucky residents of Roath in Cardiff can get their hands on one with its shop in Wellfield Road. There’s a branch out west in Llanelli too.TRY IT: It’s got to be Joe’s Real Vanilla – it’s a tried and tested recipe unchanged since 1922.

Forte's: Mumbles

You’d be hard pressed to find a better spot for an ice cream than Forte's, a quaint parlour situated right next to Limeslade beach and the Wales Coastal Path – in the summer you can often spot seals frolicking the water nearby. The view is amazing but the ice cream is arguably even better – and that’s saying something.TRY IT: Strongbow Dark Fruits ice cream. Yes, really. We back this hard.

Ice Green: Cardigan

Here’s a Welsh ice cream producer proudly doing it without dairy. Cardigan’s Ice Green is causing quite a stir with it’s plant-based iced concoctions in and around its home of Carmarthen and beyond. They’ve been wowing revellers at Street Food Warehouse events, so catch ‘em while they’re hot. Or in this case, cold.TRY IT: Ice Green have launched a new dairy-free riff on soft-serve ice cream: Mr Oaty, made with gluten-free oats.

Cadwalader’s: Cardiff Bay, Barry

Cadwalader’s HQ is actually in north Wales, but this might just be one of the best spots in the Welsh capital to get a frosty cone on a nice day. It’s right on the front at Mermaid Quay, and ideal for watching the tourist boats bobbing around the Bay. The seaside crew in Barry can also get in on the action at its Paget Road café.TRY IT: How about a scoop or two of the magical ‘Unicorn’ flavor?

Sidoli's (Owen Mathias Photography)
Caffe Sidoli’s: Ebbw Vale, Bridgend

Welsh-Italian OG's Sidoli's have been whipping up top-notch ice cream since the 1920s. Back then, the goods were made using blocks of ice brought in on rail from Cardiff. Thankfully, making ice cream’s a lot easier today – but it’s just as delicious. For the traditional experience head to the original Ebbw Vale cafe, but you can also unwind with a sundae or cone after a hard afternoon bargain hunting at the retail paradise of McArthur Glen, just off the M4 near Bridgend.TRY IT: You really can’t go wrong with Sidoli’s mint chocolate chip, for our money.

MIL-FOOD HAVEN STREET FOOD FESTIVAL 2019 IS A SWEET TOOTH'S DREAM!

MIL-FOOD HAVEN STREET FOOD FESTIVAL 2019 IS A SWEET TOOTH'S DREAM!

The Street Food Warehouse team really love seeing Pembrokeshire in our events calendar. A mixture of Welsh pride and love of the beautiful coastal views means we're always itching to get back to the Southwest of the homeland whilst the sun is still beaming down. After the success of Pembrokeshire Street Food Festival in June, it's music to the ears that we're headed back to Milford Haven for another weekend jam-packed with foodie fun in the sun. Those of you who attended Pembs will be aware of the unbelievable selection of food on offer. From BBQ to seafood and everything in between, it's real-life foodie heaven. It'll be the same at Milfood Haven Street Food Festival, too. Don't you worry about that. To keep you in the know with all things food prior to the festival (and to get you even more excited) we'll zoom in on what can be expected for you all. This time around we're catering to the sweet tooth gang, who really are going to have their hands full come 17-18 August. Brownies, doughnuts, cheesecakes and milkshakes, it's gonna be a sugar overload. 

DUTTY'S

Our current 'Vendors of the Month', Adam and Laura of Dutty's are embarking on their first summer festival season in 2019 and it's fair to say they're absolutely rocking it. A bustling weekend in Pembrokeshire Street Food Festival in June saw them totally sold out by the Sunday afternoon, but now they've got their eye on an even bigger weekend in Milford Haven. From Chocolate Orange to Kinder Buenos and forest fruits to tea cakes, their creamy cheesecakes are topped with all sorts of goodness. No wonder they've always got a stream of hefty queues outside their adorable little VW van!

CHOCK SHOP

Mounds and mounds and mounds of brownies. A brownie mountain, if you will. That's what you'll see if you head to the Chock Shop stall before the gates open at Milfood Haven Street Food Festival. Before, because as soon as attendees start clocking in, that vast display of chocolate brownies begin to deplete faster than you can munch one down. The Chock Shop folks are exhibiting Willy Wonka-levels of innovation with their brownie selection, with all sorts of weird and wonderful items mixed in alongside some of the classics. You'll be pleased to know that they serve the brownies by the box load, if you're that way inclined. Newsflash: you are that way inclined. 

GOWER DOUGHNUT CO. 

We're absolutely buzzing to bring the Gower Doughnut Co. with us to Milfood Haven after a stonking weekend in Swansea back in May. Another previous Street Food Warehouse 'Vendor of the Month', the doughy delights are always a huge hit with sweet tooth folk who are all about their sugary fix at our festivals. brimming with all sorts of crazy toppings (see candy floss above), here is the archetypal 'Instagram' dessert. Colourful, beautiful, tasty as hell. It'll reel in the likes, and it'll taste absolutely fantastic. 

THE ORGAZMIC MILKSHAKE COMPANY

The cheeky chappies at Orgazmic Milkshake are old-time residents of the street food tour, and boy do they know how to please a crowd. Their milkshake is often the perfect fix on a sunny summer's day for the sugar heads amongst you, but that's only the beginning of their dessert-dishing prowess. Hot waffles, cookie dough, ice cream and floats aplenty, they're always real hit and served with beaming smiles and Brummy laughs from the lads.
