New Ice cream shop on east dulwich road


Calsug

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this place has already been mentioned but I went there for the first time today...


Well tried to but just missed it as they were closing, the owner though very kindly offered me a free sample to apologise and I have to say it was delicious! Far nicer and creamier than oddonos and the selection looked fantastic


Will certainly be going back during opening hours. Apparently they do ice cream in a brioche bun for breakfast which sounds amazing!

From what the owner was saying they are slowly extending the opening hours, seems like an odd strategy but that is how they are doing it! Was certainly open when I went there at 3pm today but don't think they are staying open very late at the moment.
Sue - no they don't! And without a website it's pretty hard to tell when they intend to be open in the first place- twice I have set off from home on a sunny afternoon specifically to get an ice cream from them(I only live 10 mins away ) and twice they have been shut - very lazy of me but makes me a lot less likely to pop down in the future... Which is a shame because I really enjoy their ice cream- delicious and great value.

I haven't even had the chance to try it yet!!!


But I won't be making a special trip down there again until they have regular and publicised opening hours - will just have to hope that they're open when I'm passing and in the mood for an ice cream :))

Seems very odd place - we went to get ice-cream based on recommendations on here, but they only have ice-cream in cardboard pots rather than cones (love a cone) and also don't accept cards, only cash.


Frustrates me when a business opens but isn't really geared up for customers?

I've been and the ice cream was delicious. But we also wanted it with a cone. There was also no price list and the lady behind the counter had to explain how it all worked. Whilst I was there I saw two customers walk in, look a bit confused and then walk out. I persevered and it was worth it but they do need to make it a bit easier for customers.
I agree. This place is a bit odd- tried twice to buy an ice cream. First time 3 staff were attending to one customer whilst I waited (and left), second time I was only allowed to buy 3 scoops. I wasn't allowed to have one or two scoops, or if I did I'd have to pay for the price of three. There is no price list and no menu of flavours.

Based on my experience, I'm really not sure what the confusion is.


On Sunday I was greeted by a very friendly and cheerful guy and girl. All the flavours were displayed Oddono's-style by their respective tubs. Those that were unfamiliar to me were explained with a smile, as was the pricing structure. I chose the smallest tub size which, as MissDumpling has previously posted, is currently priced at ?2.50. You can choose up to three different flavours for this size of tub. You can have one big scoop if you like. Or two smaller scoops. Or three little ones.


I thought it was excellent.

    • Hardly a non-story @malumbu still one of the lead stories on the BBC.....you clearly don't understand when to serve humble pie! 😉  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgk40l8jm7o   Absolutely. It's a disaster. And for this government, who were happy to tell us they had 14 years to prepare to lead, it has been one self-inflicted disaster after another since they took over. To be honest the signs were there when they were in opposition but I think we all gave them the benefit of the doubt as they weren't the Tories and now they have the reigns the additional scrutiny that brings is tripping them up.    
    • I don't think I've ever seen it used other than for gluing advertising on it. It's definitely not a priority but these things typically get ignored and become part of the furniture (so to speak).  There is a beautiful old red box near Upland Rd. I miss old red boxes... 😞 Anyway I'll have a dig around and see if anything can be done. 
    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
    • No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
