Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

You won’t find better ice cream anywhere else. A range of absolutely delicious flavours which taste fantastic from the first mouthful to the last. The bright and colourfully designed shop has a wonderful selection of sweet treats (check out the incredible waffles) and a lovely, enthusiastic and well informed manager for whom nothing is too much trouble. I would visit every day given the chance!

Stumbled across this place late on a Saturday afternoon. We had passed a couple of places on the high street which were closed, but so glad this was open. Had 2 lattes, carton of drink, and 3 ice creams. Were made to feel very comfortable visiting, especially with a toddler! Little play area kept him amused, and he even got to try the ice cream before deciding on a flavour! Ice cream was great quality, creamy, and great selection of flavours. They also stock some nice unusual gifts and clothing. We purchased a BigJigs train, which I felt was very reasonable priced...actually cheaper than Amazon! Fabulous, will call again when we are passing though.

Lovely ice cream with a great variety of flavours to choose from . We had rum n raisin and fudge flavours in a chocolate semi covered cone. The service was very good from the young staff member , very pleasant. It's worth a drop by !

Best ice cream I’ve tasted in a while(I’d even say best ice cream ever) Get a big scoop of ice cream for a pretty decent price. Best thing is it’s homemade too. The guy working today was very helpful & friendly. Would definitely Recommend having some ice cream from here & trying the salted caramel ice cream.

Imagine the flavours of Cherry Cheesecake, Chocolate, Apple Pie, Pistachio, Cream Egg and Vanilla tantalise your tastebuds like no other ice cream has ever done. That’s Aran Hufen La Ice Cream for you. These are just a few flavours I’ve tested in big gorgeous double scoops on sugar cones. It’s like an orchestra playing in your mouth with each lick! Creamy and creative with new flavours popping up all the time. Best Ice Cream. Great location - Grab an Aran Hufen La ice cream and go for a walk around Bala lake in the sunshine! You definitely will NOT be disappointed. (Unless you get there late and they are sold out!) Recommend 5 star all the way from me!

Popped in with the better and half and our dog. We got the sharing platter ice cream, which had 6 flavours on. All absolutely phenomenal, home made, and hand made with love. Quite possibly the best ice cream I have ever had.

The team at Bala’s ice cream shop are very welcoming. So lovely to have a small businesses creating high quality food locally. Highly recommend the honeycomb or vegan chocolate (whether you’re vegan or not - it’s delicious!).

Came over to see my family and we popped to Bala, my little brother wanted an ice cream. This happened to be the first place we spotted so we went in. it was so so good, i had white chocolate and raspberry and it was genuinely one of the best we’ve had! my parents tried a rhubarb sorbet, and she was delighted. You can definitely see why it’s a top rated ice cream shop:)

We loved all the choices here and wish we could have stayed in the area longer so we could have gone back again. Lovely artisan gifts on sale as well. We had bubble waffles and cones. Lovely flavours and choices for a treat after some water sports in the rain earlier that day.

Wow! I consider myself to be an icecream snob, and always look out for artisan ice cream. If you like ice cream then you must visit here. Our favourites were Pumpkin latte, with a hint of coffee and spice Pistachios and raspberry Toffee apple Liquorice and raspberry There were loads of other flavours which I will be back to try. Its not just a icecrean parlour, lovely seating area serving hot and cold drinks. Plus a great selection of gifts and clothes. We also met one of the owners, very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

Went yesterday and tried three flavours: vanilla, honeycomb and apple strudel. Every flavour was a delight. Extremely friendly service and if you haven't tried their ice cream yet, I suggest you remedy that right away!

Not just home-made Artisan ice-cream, but super-creamy-knock-spots-off-major-expensive-brands amazing ice-cream! Recently relocated to the centre of Bala high street, the shop is bigger, brighter, air-conditioned and offering not just ice-cream, but drinks, waffles, cakes and a new addition to Bala coming soon (so we're told!). Regularly visit for the quality and really cheerful and friendly staff.
