What is it?
Since it opened in 1950, Teddy’s has answered when Dubliners scream for soft serve. It may look like a tiny shop, but it’s an institution.
What should I order?
Listen: the team here is so confident in their vanilla ice cream, it’s the only flavour on offer. The creamy consistency is best enjoyed with a Flake tucked inside, a la the classic 99 that made Teddy’s famous, but you can also add sprinkles, syrups, and Oreo topping. If the queue is too long (and there’s always a queue), keep your eyes peeled for Teddy’s Ice Cream vans along the Dun Laoghaire Pier and in front of the Pavilion Theatre.
Time Out tip
Bring cash. Teddy’s doesn’t accept credit cards.
