Lucky for me this excellent purveyor of delicious ice cream, is not so far from my home to warrant too much effort. However if it is a little bit of a trek for you, I would still say that you it's worth it. Started by the original Fusco in the early part of the 20th century, Fusco ice cream has several flavours with the option of sitting in at one of their 3 small tables or wrapping up and taking your choice of frozen goodness away with you. Honourable mentions for the honeycomb and chocolate flavours which can be enjoyed in several different receptacles of both the edible and non-edible variety (i.e. Plastic tub vs. waffle or two scoop cone). Visiting here is guaranteed to cause a debate while choosing, but once selection has been made, you can look forward to 15 - 20 mins of quiet while your loved ones devour their desert. Which on a rainy Sunday afternoon is well worth the reasonable prices.

It's nice to have another ice cream parlour in this side of town, but could do better.

They sell the most amazing cookies and at only £1.19 each they're quite the bargain. You can buy 5 for £4.95 or ten for £8.95. So So Tempting! They also offer a huge range of milkshakes from the traditional such as strawberry to the wacky such as cookies and milk! And they really are great! Its great to be able to sit in and just gorge!

Then onto to toppings, my 16yr old assured me the little juice balls were really good and she was right, especially the apple ones. There were plenty of options available including fresh fruit, nuts, chocolate and an assortment of sweets.

Promises that is…read more I think I'll divide this review in two - one for the actual ice-cream itself, and one for this parlour. Just to make things a wee but easier. Here goes... Barnams isn't my favourite ice-cream, but it's definitely good stuff. There is a huge range of flavours - blue bubblegum, orange crunch (orange-coloured of course), neon yellow banana, as well as your more 'normal' flavours of vanilla, chocolate etc. You can get tubs, cones, fancy wafery things, sauces, waffles and much, much more, and the prices aren't too high. Sounds good, eh? Popping into Barnam's World of Ice Cream yesterday was an absolute must, and apparently the whole world and his dog had the same thought. Well, world and his child in this case... We waited patiently behind a multitude of screeching children who were selecting their ice-creams. One little girl was given her ice cream cone wrapped in greaseproof paper, which she didn't appreciate at all. "Muuuuuummmmmmy!", she screamed, "I don't want the paaaaaappppeeerrrr!!". Oh dear, oh dear. By the time all this drama was over, I was well ready for my tub of chocolate and Belgian chocolate. Or so I thought! I ended up not even being able to eat it all. Oh dear, oh dear (again). Just warning you...but the ice-cream ain't bad. At all.

Mainly for the awesome selection of flavours they have, the bubblegum is really nice as is the chocolate (shock horror). The only downside is that with Ice cream parlours comes screaming children.

About this time last year I photographed the unfinished shop front of the Ann Street Spoon Street…read morewith its "opening soon" sign in the window for 40 Days Of Belfast. https://www.yelp.co.uk/biz_photos/40-days-of-belfast-belfast?select=xScgVCe1OBwdgRbZNn4ybA Then I went on holiday for 2 weeks and when I came back it was still at the "opening soon" stage. Eventually it opened and became a welcome addition to the city centre. I worked my way around the flavours, generally only taking two of them or even just one. Of all the toppings, I only tend to go for blueberries (and occasionally, kiwi) and nuts. Actually, I don't really want a lot of the froyo because I'm as prone to headaches as I am with ice cream. No, I just want a little froyo as a topping for the blueberries and nuts. Now somebody mentioned spillage. Well, after a little experimentation, I soon realized that the thing to do is to put as much of the nuts and blueberries into the tub first and then literally squirt the froyo as a topping. If only the nut spillers referred to in the other review would do the same, there wouldn't be such a cross contamination risk as the froyo on top just sits there, unless of course you have too much for the size of the tub. I didn't do it today, though, as it doesn't make a very good photo that way.

I really enjoyed visiting Spoon Street frozen yogurt bar on the Upper Newtownards Road, so was…read moredelighted when a branch opened in Belfast city centre's Ann Street. I visited last week and thoroughly enjoyed it, trying the dairy free lemon (quite tarte) and watermelon (sweet tasting) options which the staff told me were dairy free because they are fruit based sorbets. These sorbets have a richer, creamier consistency than traditional sorbet, being more like whipped ice cream. All the usual toppings are available ranging from healthy fruits to sweets and chocolates. I did notice there seemed to be fewer flavour options in the city centre location than at Newtownards Road. Perhaps more seating space and less dispensing machines. I will definitely return, but as it's now October, it may be the summer months before I visit this or any other frozen yogurt bar again. The novelty of frozen yogurt is beginning to wear off a bit for me. Also who wants to eat such cold food during icy winter months?! Fabulous when summer sun is shining, but possibly not an all year round activity. Maybe they should diversify into mulled wine over winter time...

Personally, I like how ridiculous and in an odd way, how dangerous three scoops looks on a cone so I always go for that. Their mint choc chip is beyond words and should be on the syllabus at school!
