Linnalla Irish Ice Cream

We were on our way to Galway from the Cliffs of Moher and suddenly saw a sign for ice cream off to the left. That’ll be nice, little did we know it was at least 4-5k and down and around twisty one lane roads. The ice cream is evidently made on site but wasn’t as good as had hoped for. On a nice day you can sit outdoors and enjoy the view.

Amazing view, very clean place. But very pricey for an ice cream which was not even good. It could be acceptable if their behaviour was good. There was a teenage girl was taking our order next to the owner lady Owner was treating her not very well My wife asked for if they can make half/half for one scoop and that lady was looking us like we asked for free ice cream. I would not drive extra 30 mins if i knew they treat their staff and customers like that.

Take the trouble to follow the signs along the Flaggy Shore to the Tourist Information and the Martello Tower. Linnalla Irish Ice Cream is a spotless cafe serving cakes and beautiful home made ice-cream. The views around are to die for. Walks along the amazing geological surroundings are really special.

Beautiful area. Nice ice cream and coffee. Lovely, very young man serving and preparing food and drinks, and taking cash and cleaning up, completely alone. Would be nice to see door into cafe made accessible for wheelchair users. Had to sit in the yard, on a chilly day after travelling all the way to visit. Would also be nice to get a brochure or leaflet with history, facts, method of production etc of the Ice Cream. Young employee did his best to give us some short info about the business.

Parked our car at the Flaggy Shore amd walked to the Linnala ice cream store. It is in a lovely setting with picnic tables and an outdoor play ground space for the kids. Walked om through to Finnavara round tower and back again to the flaggyshore. A lovely stroll. About 11,000 steps and a lovely day for sweeping views of the Clare coast line.

Asked for a chocolate milkshake and got a ~3 degrees Celsius below room temperature glass of milk with a chocolate taste off it. Took so long for someone to come out to in the first place that I didn't bother saying anything (because there was nobody around again), drank it and left completely unsatisfied. For somewhere that literally makes ice-cream, it completely missed any of the nice points of a milkshake (cold, ice-creamy, flavoursome). I can't comment on the other ice cream as essentially I never got to it with how much milk had been used. I am guessing they used too much milk and not enough ice cream combined with leaving the milkshake blender on too long which heated it up but whomever made it couldn't have looked at it and thought it looked remotely tasty. I hate to put any businesses down and I am sure their ice cream is nice as other reviewers have said but my advice would be to get an ice cream and avoid a milkshakes lest you end up paying for the most expensive glass of milk you'll ever buy.

Great ice cream stop, we opted to skip scones & tea that day, very pleased we did! Sat outside and enjoyed the sun and clouds

Lovely seated area with delicious ice cream well worth the walk, hot drinks and cake. There is also a toilet on site
