Why everyone keeps coming back.
Nestled in the heart of Mevagissey on the bustling Fore Street, Kellys Harbourside is a charming ice cream shop that promises not just a sweet treat, but a truly memorable experience for all ages. This delightful spot perfectly captures the essence of a classic British seaside ice cream parlor, enhanced by its unbeatable location right on the harbour front – making it an ideal pause during a scenic stroll along the waterfront or a fun-filled visit to the nearby aquarium.
Kellys Harbourside specializes in a dazzling array of ice cream options, thoughtfully crafted to satisfy every craving. Whether you prefer the timeless joy of a scoop of creamy ice cream nestled in a crisp Single Waffle cone or want to indulge in a more decadent Two Scoop Waffle Cone topped with sprinkles like 100s & 1000s or a Flake, the choices are both delightful and generous in portion. For those who love the smooth, soft-textured pleasure of Whippy Ice Cream, Kellys offers varieties like the XL Whippy Cone draped in chocolate or Em & Em sweets, or even a comforting tub to savor at your leisure.
One of the highlights that truly elevates a visit to Kellys is their inventive Whippy Sundae range. Each sundae is a vibrant celebration of flavors, with options such as Pistachio, Mango Caramel, Chocolate, and even a playful Bubblegum that spark joy and create lasting impressions. The harmony of rich, creamy textures paired with exciting flavor twists makes every bite a delightful journey for the taste buds.
Beyond the luscious ice cream itself, guests return time and again because of the warm, welcoming service that awaits behind the counter. Reviewers frequently commend the staff's exceptional kindness and attention to detail. One customer, G Fahrenholz, beautifully captured the spirit of Kellys, noting the friendly conversations that became a cherished part of their daily visits along with the generous portion sizes and delicious milkshakes on offer. This personable touch transforms every visit into a joyful and heartfelt experience.
For families visiting with dietary considerations, Kellys Harbourside stands out as a true beacon of care and inclusivity. Parents, like Peter Binding and Becci Hudson, sing praises for the staff’s meticulous approach to food allergies and intolerances. When a young coeliac customer asked about gluten-free options, not only did the team readily provide detailed information, but they took extra hygienic measures such as changing gloves and using dedicated utensils to ensure zero cross-contamination. This level of dedication not only earns trust but creates an environment where everyone can indulge without worry.
There’s also a delightful sense of community that seems to naturally blossom here. From sharing perfect flavor recommendations—like Lisa Percival’s standout honeycomb favorite—to receiving unexpected kindnesses such as being offered cups for a cheeky tipple of wine, Kellys makes every visit feel personal and special.
Whether you’re seeking a traditional scoop to cool down after exploring Mevagissey’s charming streets, or a colourful sundae to spark your inner child, Kellys Harbourside offers an authentic, friendly, and scrumptious destination that leaves you with more than just a sweet tooth satisfied—it leaves you with a sense of genuine warmth and seaside delight.
