Freddo's Homemade Ice Cream

Freddo's Homemade Ice Cream in Newquay is a proper treat stop for homemade gelato and good coffee, with a “holiday starts here” feel even on an ordinary day. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody has to wait outside looking mournful while the humans choose toppings.

Expect lots of flavour choices, with fresh scoops made using Cornish Trewithen milk and cream, plus sandwiches, toasties, paninis and salads. Usually open daily from around 10am until 5pm, with extended opening hours during the summer, it’s ideal for families, post-swim refuels and anyone who believes ice cream is an essential food group when you’re by the sea. Vegan and gluten-free options are also available.

There’s indoor and outdoor seating, so everyone can settle in together. Dogs are especially well looked after, with free treats, fresh water and Freddo’s own homemade doggy ice cream available—just keep the etiquette tidy: no licking strangers’ cones, counter-surfing for whipped cream or dramatic bargaining for “just one tiny taste”.
