You can buy cones to eat on the spot or tubs to take away. There's plenty of seating outside, and a small range of other foods to buy inside. They also serve lunches and dinners - sadly I didn't get a chance to sample any when I was last there, but the pizza in particular looked amazing and I will definitely be going back for a meal when I'm next in Cornwall. The fudge is well worth sampling, too!

Worst pasty ever. Took a friend to try the wonderful pasties of Cornwall, but we were both…read moredisappointed. The traditional pasty had just a thimble of meat at each end, no potatos at all, no veggies, but just a bunch of onion. The onion and cheese had no detectable cheese. If this is what the Cornish men were sent down in the mines with, there must have been an awful lot of wife beating going on in St. Ives. A wasted trip, ruined by a bummer lunch.

This wonderful little shop owned by an elderly couple sells the most delightful and beautiful fudge…read moreI have ever eaten. I've eaten fudge from other confectionery stores in St. Ives but nothing compares to this accessible location on the harbour front. 100g is roughly a third of a bar, and 300g is roughly a whole bar; regardless all very good value for money! As typical of any shop that sells fudge, you can have it ready cut for you or kept whole. My recommendations lie with the peppermint flavour, but there are a large variety of others to suit all tastes.

Voted by the Times as the second best place to eat Ice Cream in the UK…read more.. I don't know who came in first, but I can't argue with the fact that this is pretty tasty ice cream in a pretty gorgeous location. The Ice cream is produced in Zennor, a tiny village with 28 inhabitants which we had passed through while walking the Cornish Coastal Path. The company is family run and the ice cream is made from milk from Daisy, Primrose and Sid Vicious, and many other Friesian cows on Tremedda Farm. They then produce about 30 different flavours of ice cream and sorbet which it then sells through this little shop in St Ives. The shop itself is tiny with just a couple of small tables, however they still manage to serve cream teas and coffees along side the ice creams. Its situated right on the beach front so perfect for take away, particularly when the Cornish sun is shining. I went for the orange and mascarpone flavour which was simply divine. Would I like a free wafer with that? Of course, does anyone ever say no?! I would have to agree with the Times, certainly one of the best ice creams I have been lucky enough to taste. Send some up to Sussex please!
