Cadwaladers

Cardiff


On a sunny day, this Welsh ice cream cafe is the busiest place in Cardiff Bay. Customers queue along the boardwalk to choose from over 20 flavours of ice cream and sorbet. Traditionalists are well catered for, while adventurous types will love the more creative flavours, such as banana ripple and pina colada. It also serves freakshakes, cakes and beverages.
