Award-Winning Hand-Crafted Real Dairy Welsh Ice Cream, Made Using Whole Milk and Double Cream

From Cow to Cone - The Fablas Story...

Ever wondered what makes Fablas ice cream so ridiculously good? It all starts just 15 miles from our production unit with a herd of happy cows and ends with you, a cone, and a very happy face.

Founded in 2016, Fablas is all about small-batch, big-flavour ice cream made the proper way – using whole milk and double cream from Ty Tanglwyst Farm and the finest Italian flavourings.

From our original Cowbridge parlour to four bustling stores, we’ve grown – but our mission stays the same: to craft unforgettable scoops, celebrate Welsh ingredients, and share a little joy in every tub.

Absolute perfection, the best ice cream in Penarth! Fablas is an absolute gem. Perfectly located, it’s the ultimate spot to grab a treat, wonderful. Without a doubt, this is exceptionally the best ice cream in Penarth. Every single bite is mouth-wateringly delicious, rich, and full of flavour, you can truly taste the quality. To top it off, the service was fantastic, so welcoming, and genuine in helping us make our choices. We’re already counting down the days until our next visit to Fablas ae have our eyes firmly set on trying the Custard Creams next time, which looked absolutely amazing 🤩 If you’re anywhere near Penarth, do yourself a favour and do not miss this place. 10/10! Thank you Fablas Ice Cream Penarth, brilliant 🍦✨

Beautiful ice cream. The pear ice cream actually has chunks of pear in it. Really refreshing but sort of makes you kid yourself your eating something healthy 😄. The custard slices are unbelievably good 👍.

Very pleasant experience today. Excellent coffee and hot chocolate and the ice slice was amazing. The best I've had. The miniature free ice cream was a lovely touch. The very pleasant waitress even gave our dog some treats.

Really nice icecream and good service

We're a Social Bunch!

Nothing pretty or glamorous about this post… but this is REAL LIFE behind the scenes at Fablas! 🍦❀️
Big decisions. Bigger ambitions. And a LOT of thinking! 🀯
I’ve always tried to show you the reality of running a business on these platforms. Not just the pretty ice creams, beautiful shops and exciting announcements, but the hard work, the challenges and the decisions that go on behind the scenes.
Because growth doesn’t just happen. It takes investment, calculated risks, a few sleepless nights and a LOT of determination! πŸ™ƒ
10 years in, and Mum and I are still learning, still pushing boundaries and still asking ourselves… HOW CAN WE MAKE FABLAS EVEN BETTER?
The next chapter is going to be an exciting one. But first, we’ve got some rather big decisions to make!
Not that I’m an overthinker or particularly hard to please… πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ
Here’s to the next 10 years of Fablas! ❀️🍦
