Dyce Ice Cream Parlour opened in August, bringing an Instagram-worthy ice cream parlour to London. Founder Zahra Khan created the concept after launching a cafe known as Feya a couple of doors down last year. Both the cafe and the ice cream parlour follow the dining-as-a-lifestyle concept with a photogenic decor interior and food to match. The decor is complementary in pastel pink with blue pods.
Dyce's products range from ice cream, bubble tea, milkshakes, and bubble cream (a blend of ice cream and bubble tea). Visitors can create their own treat creations by selecting ice cream flavours and choices of toppings and extras to create an indulgent and eye-catching treat perfect for photographs and Instagram.
Visitors are encouraged to take photographs of themselves (selfies) in the unique seats and curved furniture in pink and blue pastel colours.
The ice cream experience is documented in the menu with visitors choosing a base, such as a waffle nest, brownie or cookie. I had the brownie with a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of pistachio ice cream. I also had two toppings: fruity pebbles and mixed fruit. There were a selection of other usual toppings as well. Additional toppings could include a bar of chocolate, golden cone, or macaroon. I had a golden cone and created the unusual treat pictured below.
Overall, the mix was tasty and photographic, as you can see. The ice cream wasn't the best that I have had, but the delicious brownie and toppings mixed into it made all the difference. I would visit again to create another one, keeping in mind that you do need to pay for the additional toppings and not judge it by the ice cream alone.
Dyce Ice Cream Parlour is located in Marylebone on St. James Street, around the corner from Bond Street station, Selfridges and St. Christopher's Place.
