About

Gay's Creamery, nestled in the seaside town of Dawlish on Devon's golden coast, has delighted locals and visitors alike for over a century. Established in 1925, the family‑run shop remains one of the few remaining original ice‑cream parlours in the UK. The shop is renowned for its traditional Devon clotted‑cream desserts – from the iconic 99‑cone of creamy delight to buttery scones velvety with homemade jam. A wide array of cakes, pastries, quiches, and rolls ensure that no taste bud is left unfulfilled. Guests can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with outdoor seating by the Dawlish Water stream, perfect for a chilled afternoon with a classic ice‑cream cone or a steaming warm cream tea. The 2025 100th anniversary celebrations added a festive touch to the historic venue, with special menu items and inviting community events. Praise from Tripadvisor, Devon Live, and the Daily Mirror highlights Gay's Creamery as a must‑visit destination for those seeking authentic Devonian flavours in a welcoming setting.
