Pretty good ice cream cones, milkshakes were ok, not the American style with ice cream, but just flavoured milk. Reasonable prices, fast service.

A sweet surprise en route to the Giant’s Causeway! We stopped at the Dunluce Magheracross viewpoint and discovered Cream of the Coast—a treasure trove of tempting ice cream creations. With so many choices, I was indecisive until Hollie, a truly talented and enthusiastic team member, recommended her favourite: Milky Way white chocolate, fresh strawberries, and Biscoff topping sundae. It was absolutely divine, and Hollie’s warm, confident service made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend stopping by for both the treats and the top-tier hospitality!

The long queue on a bank holiday weekend was worth it. Nice selection, lovely ice cream and great views. We have been several times and will come back next time we are in the area.

I was recommended to try ‘Cream of the Coast’ on my visit to Northern Ireland. I was not disappointed at all. I opted for the ‘Warm Brownie’ sundae. The ice cream was really creamy, I was informed that it was all local produce. There was a good choice of toppings (over 8) but I decided to stick with the chocolate sauce. I would be sure to visit again on any future trips to Northern Ireland.

The best vanilla icecream I've ever had - it's lovely and creamy! I had the white chocolate sundae which is their vanilla icecream with white chocolate sauce and white chocolate buttons.

Love this wee van at the Dunluce/Magheracross viewpoint. We had 2 medium sundaes for £9 which were delicious and lasted a good while. We enjoyed it so much we made a detour another day to get another two sundaes. The coffees are very nice too and stay hot for some time. Will definitely be returning on my next trip to the coast.
