What a hard place to review and rate, it’s certainly not deserving of five stars. Let’s start with the positives, it’s reasonably priced, my wife and daughter loved the Knickerbocker Glory (I usually love them but not when they contain tinned fruit) the staff are super friendly and it’s clean. Regarding the staff, ask them for something different like throw a flake in and they’re more than willing to oblige.
The negatives, there really isn’t a great choice unless you want flavoured scoops from the tub (which you can purchase from anywhere) and they don’t take credit cards. Honestly if you like an old fashioned knickerbocker Glory or a Californian Glory made with tinned fruit you’ll love it.

A Childhood Memory Relived and Hopefully One Created.
One of my earliest childhood memories was visiting this place back in the mid 1960’s. I haven’t been back for over 50 years. I took my 3-year-old granddaughter there today and all I can say is “WOW”. This is exactly how I remember it. Friendly staff who are kind to children, even though we had an accident that resulted in broken glass. They were kind and more concerned about making sure my granddaughter didn’t fret about her accident. The Knickerbocker Glory was exactly as I remember it. I know from the look on my granddaughter’s face that this will become a cherished memory for her too.
Every layer of the Knickerbocker Glory I had (we had one each) took me back to my childhood. It is exactly how I remember it. At under £5 it was excellent value. The Americana coffee I had was also excellent and at under £2 was good value.
I want to thank the staff for making it such a wonderful visit for us. Everything about the place is how I remember, which is a good thing. Although young people were serving, good old-fashioned values are what shine through. I had a little chat about my history with the place with one of them and they were kind and attentive. I was told the parlour has been in business for 71 years. I hope they have another 71 as they truly deserve it.

With out fail always port of call when ever visiting bridlington. Brings back childhood memories, the knickerbocker glory is not as big as it was back then i am now 43 😊 Still as yummy though. Hot chocolate lovers the best THE WORKS 👍
It's brilliant place to enjoy coffee ☕ and ice-cream staff very good 👍👍👍
Great ice cream and hot chocolate as usual.
This is my most favourite place in the world best ice-cream or ice cream soda love the banana split. When you walk in it's like going back in time 1950's lovely
I've been back again today I can honestly say that the 30 miles just to visit this ice-cream parlour was worth it, still the best banana split on the east coast. Worth every penny.
Really lovely place, we had gone from Bradford on a cold day, the place was a really warm welcome, staff are so friendly and they didn’t mind us sitting a bit longer
Having been brought up nearby and remembering Tophams from my childhood I took my husband there yesterday in search of nostalgia. We arrived at 4.55 pm and even though the sign said they closed at 5pm, we were welcomed in cheerfully. Our Sundaes (knickerbocker glory for him, California glory, minus bananas, for me) were plentiful and tasty. Will be back next time we're in Brid!
Absolutely love this ice cream parlour. It's as wonderful now as it was when I was a child.(many years ago !) Please don't ever change a thing ❤
