Colourful outdoor seating. Dog Friendly, 8PLN per scoop. One flavour only per scoop. Sells cakes & coffees also.

Instead of a spoon one gets a miniature cone like a unicord on the portion.
What could be better?
We arrived as it was just opening and a queue formed almost immediately. It is not a huge place so perhaps long queues at weekends.

The flavours were not the standard ones and is for the ice cream lover seeking new adventures. The location is very interesting in the courtyard. There was no music playing. There were also nitro coffee options available.
