Luxury Ice Cream shop at John O'Groats!

**YummyMummy** · 21-Feb-12, 11:32

We are opening an exciting new shop in John O’Groats at the beginning of April.
Flavours will be open 7 days a week to 8p.m. and will sell to take away;

Flavoured ice creams (variety of cones and tubs) and bespoke delicious ice cream sundaes, freshly prepared to order. Our ice cream is being supplied by Capaldi’s (by Harry Gow) and we will sell ALL of their flavours. We will have loads of toppings and ice cream sauces. Too many to eat in one go, so you’ll have to visit more than once to sample the range
Iced drinks (slushes and milk shakes) and hot drinks (including speciality and flavoured coffees).
Fine confectionery - quirky gifts and delicious treats.

Come and see us in April (located in the former Barrock knitwear shop beside the John O’Groats gallery).
Exciting times ahead for John O'Groats!

More details coming soon

Looking forward to your opening YummyMummy. Good ice creams shops are hard to come by. We've missed our regular visits to Di Rollo's in Musselburgh since we moved here.

Thank you Gronnuck - we're very excited. Good ice cream......guaranteed!

Wishing you all the very best in your new venture ! X

I am thrilled to hear such enthusiasm

It is heartwarming to have such local support for our venture. THANK YOU

Just to say, despite our best efforts, our card machine won't be up and running when we open. My apologies. We are hoping to take card payments very soon (probably from Wednesday the 4th), but in the meantime, we can only accept cash payments. Sorry about that.

I can, however, guarantee lovely Capaldi's ice cream, speciality waffle cones, toppings, sauces, freshly prepared sundaes, hot drinks (lavazza coffee, flavoured syrups, speciality hot choc, etc), iced drinks (slushes, shakes and frappes from the Noisy Drinks Company) and some lovely confectionery alongside traditional bags of sweets and Scottish Tablet. Fiona Polsen's beautiful sponge cakes will be on the counter and gorgeous Caithness Chocolates (truffles, hearts and those quirky Puddag's (chocolate frog's) on our shelves. Our indulgence hampers will be a on display ("Indulgence"; "For Him" and "For Her" - these will make lovely gifts and we can take orders or you can purchase when you are in).

Opening Sunday at 11a.m. Artemis, Sean, Jack, Stacey and Sandra look forward to seeing you then

Is there any chance you might be able to make Diabetic Ice Cream, that is with no Sugar. If so I am sure you would have a great demand for it. I know I would travel just to get some and now that Stevia is available it would be a lot easier to make.

**Flavours** · 01-Apr-12, 04:08

Kodiak

I am not sure. I will ask Capaldi's. We can certainly get in sugar free confectionery (some lovely things).

Also, just to advise everyone, we can now accept card payments!
