Barnam’s World of Ice Cream

We love visiting Barnam’s in the summer months. There is a good selection of sandwiches which are tasty, and the icecream sundaes and other desserts are incredibly tasty! Perfect for a quick lunch or snack, or even just an ice cream on a hot day. You can sit in, or just call in for an icecream cone if you’d rather. Looking forward to returning again now that the warmer weather is coming back!

Who doesn’t like Ice Cream?! If you say you don’t, you’re a liar and I’m shocked you could say it so bluntly to my face! (anyway…). Barnam’s is a fantastic ice cream parlour with a huge selection of Ice Cream. I’m a traditionalist and usually stick to vanilla, but their mint choc chip and honey comb varieties are just unbeatable! Like other reviewers have said, it can be filled with yappy kids quite a lot but I can bare it for another bite of their epic ices! Nom nom nom!

Barnams is the ice cream shop we all had to go to when we were younger, It rocked! And Now? Well I still like it! Mainly for the awesome selection of flavours they have, the bubblegum is really nice as is the chocolate (shock horror).
The only downside is that with Ice cream parlours comes screaming children. The spoilt brats of the Lisburn and Malone road residents are awful. My solution? Call in when they’re at school and enjoy the wonder that is Barnams Ice Cream!

And here it is… the Barnam’s review as promised. I always keep them. Promises that is.
I think I’ll divide this review in two — one for the actual ice-​cream itself, and one for this parlour. Just to make things a wee but easier. Here goes…
Barnams isn’t my favourite ice-​cream, but it’s definitely good stuff. There is a huge range of flavours — blue bubblegum, orange crunch (orange-​coloured of course), neon yellow banana, as well as your more ‘normal’ flavours of vanilla, chocolate etc. You can get tubs, cones, fancy wafery things, sauces, waffles and much, much more, and the prices aren’t too high. Sounds good, eh?
Popping into Barnam’s World of Ice Cream yesterday was an absolute must, and apparently the whole world and his dog had the same thought. Well, world and his child in this case…
We waited patiently behind a multitude of screeching children who were selecting their ice-​creams. One little girl was given her ice cream cone wrapped in greaseproof paper, which she didn’t appreciate at all. «Muuuuuummmmmmy!», she screamed, «I don’t want the paaaaaappppeeerrrr!!». Oh dear, oh dear.
By the time all this drama was over, I was well ready for my tub of chocolate and Belgian chocolate. Or so I thought! I ended up not even being able to eat it all. Oh dear, oh dear (again).
Just warning you… but the ice-​cream ain’t bad. At all.
