Joe’s Ice Cream Parlour

I kid you not — THE best ice-​cream in the world. Don’t be clever and order fancy flavours like chocolate or strawberry — stick with the vanilla, and maybe get some nuts and chocolate on top.
It is INCREDIBLE. If you’re ever close to Swansea — get some.

If you are looking for the definitive thing to do when visiting Swansea this is it!
Joe’s Ice Cream Parlour serves nothing but delicious ice-​cream and sundaes — nothing else — but it’s the most delicious in the world. The St Helen’s road outlet represents the first one opened by the company but there are also outlets in Mumbles and Parc Tawe.
If you don’t go, then you are sorely missing out!

Simply the best ice-​cream ever! Very rich, and sikly totally delicious :-p
The staff are always pleasant, and quick at serving.

THE best ice cream in the world. Simple as!

I double donkey dare anyone to give Joes any less than five stars. The recipe has never changed, the ice cream is still slightly too soft and starts melting and dripping down the cone straightaway, but hell, that’s what makes it so good.
Anyone here know the recipe?
Definitely the number one tourist attraction in Swansea.

I’m from Swansea but now live in Essex. Everytime I come home it’s first stop Joe’s for a strawberry marshmallow sundae. I’m salivating just thinking of it. My children are now hooked too. It’s a Swanse institution! Love it. There are three branches, one is situated near the guildhall about half a mile from the city centre. There is a branch in Parc Tawe, great after the cinema and best of all the branch in Mumbles. I love going for a walk on the Mumbles seafront and then having a lovely, tasty Joe’s Ice cream. It is also sold in supermarkets in the area but doesn’t taste quite the same. There is a very secret recipe that was created many, many years ago.

Joe’s ice cream is truely the best, I have had ice cream in many cities around the world but none to compare with this. The ice cream is so smooth and creamy that you just want more! You can have it in a variety of ways, from plain cornetes to sundaes or even in a soft drink. Prices start from 99p upwards, very reasonable considering what you get. Joe’s is open all year round, much quieter in the Winter, if you go during the Summer you must be willing to wait because it is extremely popular with locals and holiday makers! It’s also in a great spot which is very close to the beach.

Ice cream doesnt get any better than this. If you are in this area you have to stop and get a ‘Joes’ My favorite is the chocolate marshmallow sundae. Yes its not the cheapest but in my humble opinion it is worth every penny. I never find the prepacked Ice cream to be as nice.
The ice cream itself has a very particular taste which is difficult to explain. However their constant que on most days of the week proves the growth of their popularity over the years.

Joe’s ice cream is delicious and fantastically rich.
Paradoxically, it is also outstandingly cheap.
This is because you cannot eat more than 2 quid’s worth in one sitting unless you wish to develop a seriously intimate relationship with your toilet bowl.

Joe’s ice-​cream was a revolution in South Wales from its humble beginnings in 1922 when it was founded by Joe Cascarini, the son of Italian immigrants. A huge favourite with locals the business went from success to success as the flagship ice cream parlour produced two further shops in Swansea and began to export across the whole of Wales.
Famed for its vanilla ice-​cream — the sweet creamy vanilla ice-​cream sold by Joe’s is heaven The Independent the company has branched out in recent years with many more flavours to choose from.
However, the vanilla is simply incredible and I cannot recommend it enough. The ice-​cream parlours have a classic Italian-​American feel and you can enjoy a variety of sundaes, cones and tubs. My favourites are the strawberry marshmallow sundae and the hazelnut fudge sundae. Absolutely glorious.
Should I ever get married I will have Joe’s ice-​cream specially imported for my wedding, regardless of where it takes place. That’s how ruddy delicious it is.

Joe’s ice cream really is the best. You can get it in local shops and super markets but to expriance it at full potential a visit to Joe’s is a must.
