"We visited Ives Ice Cream parlour whilst on holiday with family. The member of staff called Zee came out of the shop and greeted us when he saw we had dogs too. He was polite and friendly. There was 6 adults and two children in the group. He recognised our Dog De Bordeaux dog called Mojo and the ice cream was fantastic. Lots of flavours to choose from We will be back."

"This is such a lovely little ice cream parlour. Myself and my son popped in here today. The lady who served us was very friendly and helpful. The shop was clean and there was a big verity of ice creams to pick from. There is a small seating area inside and also some tables and chairs outside. My son rated the ice cream as 10/10. Definitely worth a visit"

"This is a nice little ice-cream shop located on the Aldeburgh high street. It has a good range of scooped ice-cream flavours and also sells whippy ice-creams. I purchased one scooped ice-cream cone and one whippy ice-cream cone and the cost was £8.50, which to be honest I do think is a bit over priced. I tour many UK coastal areas and don't think I have paid so much for just two ice-creams, especially when one was a standard whippy ice-cream. The ice-cream flavours are nice though."

"Small ice cream parlour with limited on street seating on the Main Street. This place is a gem. Many flavours available including Sorbets. Available in various sizes in cups or cones. Drinks also done. Lemon sorbet was wonderful. Salted Caramel and Chocolate Cookie Dough also went down a treat. Mango Sorbet, Salted Caramel, Biscoff and Stracciatella also went down very well on another visit."

"I had a milkshake that tasted lovely, very fresh and creamy. It's a shame however that the milkshake menu is very limited and only chocolate/caramel based choices. I really wanted something based on one of the many other ice cream flavours they do. My friend enjoyed an amazing Eton Mess ice cream and the price paid was slightly above average."
