A trip to Cardiff Bay isn’t enjoyable without a treat, so get to Llanfaes Dairy to pick up an ice cream. With a massive choice of flavours available, from cookies dough to lemon meringue, you’ll be spoiled for choice. They make ice cream the right way, by hand mixing the finest ingredients at their parlour in Brecon. It is made in small batches to create the best tasting ice cream possible.

Pasteurised, whisked, poured, churned and frozen with love and care; one batch at a time!

Llanfaes Dairy have two parlours across Mid & South Wales. The flagship store, where it all began is nestled in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, situated on the out skirts of Brecon where you can see the ice cream making process in their working laboratory. Choose from over 40 flavours to ignite your taste buds (in season) along side their Italian style coffee bar.

Llanfaes Dairy’s other parlour, which opened in Mermaid Quay, Cardiff Bay in July 2023, replicates the essence of what they have created in Brecon. With 48 flavours on display (in season), with stylish seating inside and out, along side a working lab where the ice cream is made fresh daily.

There’s lots of sizes available which include cones or tubs, even the doggo is catered for. Doggy ice cream is a water based peanut butter and banana dog friendly treat which is both lactose and dairy free.

I can confidently say this is the best ice cream I’ve ever had! The flavours are absolutely incredible unique, rich, and seriously next-level. This place offers an amazing variety, and every option is a treat. The design and interior are beautiful, and the place is spotless. While the prices are a little on the higher side, it’s 100% worth it for the quality you get. If you’re ever in Cardiff, don’t miss out grab an ice cream here and enjoy it by the bay. Pure heaven!

Fantastic place. 🍦🍨🍧🍨🍦 Great service with some of the best ice-cream flavours around. Coffee is very good too, or try an indulgent milkshake (made with lots of ice-cream!). Or you may want to take a big tub home with you. You will enjoy. 🙂

Thoroughly enjoyed one of the new croissant waffle stacks at Llanfaes Dairy this weekend. They are insanely good. The waffle is warm, soft, crunchy, and chewy all at once - giving everything | need. And their ice cream is my all-time favourite - it's creamy, the flavours are spot on and it isn't already soft/ melty when you get it which is my bugbear with other local ice creams. I went for coffee and cream, and hot cross bun as my combo yesterday, topped with nuts and Nutella sauce, and I had to try the new toasted marshmallow topping which l've been eyeing up on their socials for a while. It was the perfect addition and surprisingly didn't make it all too sweet. Can't wait to chow down another one of these one day soon. I can see it being a summer diet staple

Llanfaes Dairy is our favourite Ice Cream place in Cardiff and I like to think we've tried them. There is so much choice and its in a great spot in the bay. They also make milkshakes with any of the icecream flavours. I'm only taking one star away as a local business like this should really have bilingual signage so it's a real shame that this hasn't been considered by the owners.
