Best 99 in town

Minister

With this weather I am a bit partial to a '99 ice cream....

So, where do ye think is the best shop to get one - taste and good value are the two importants....

Thanks

Place on the Dunmore road I can remember, shop run by Jewish people or is it Amish?

I'm surprised at that, I got ice cream there before and they were the most miserable 99's I've ever gotten so much so that we went straight to Hogan's (when it was open) and got very large 99's for a lot less money.


Londis on the Dunmore Road are very popular for 99's.

The Aul Switcharoo

Dunphys on the Cork Road. €1.30 well spent every day!

When I go all out and hit an Tra Mhor up, the Donut Bar have it to a tee even if they charge 2 euro

Best 99's for me is daybreak in tramore.
The shop across road from ritz pub in Newtown.
The shop run by the Amish are very dear for what you get
And they charge 30cent for sprinkled etc.
They may live in the past but they sure know
How to charge.

Ah that explains it... Thought it was in near Oscar's or the Uluru and that I'd missed it somehow!

TThanks

Agree 100%, none like that in town.

Yeah, the Amish ice cream is the nicest in the town and surrounding area by a long way.

Is there anywhere in the city centre doing them anymore?

Sorry to be a downer, but they all taste more or less the same to me (delicious, that is). I'm sure there aren't that many suppliers here, so most places would be getting the same machines, ice cream, what-have-you, wouldn't they?

I used to work in a place that sold 99s. The ice-cream mix came in one litre cartons that the owner bought at the cash and carry. We just poured it in a tank and the machine did the rest. As far as I remember, there were only a couple of brands. This was 2000/01 though, so it might have changed since then.

Edit: Just remembered the brand name - it was Angelito: http://kerrymaid.co.uk/index.php/product-range/ice-cream/kerrymaid-angelito-ice-cream-mix

By the same logic, there would be no such thing as a good pint because all pubs get their kegs from the same source.

I would guess that the shops with the better cones clean and service their machines more often.

Guess or hope? :-p

Not in Waterford but there's a petrol station / shop out in Kilmacow that has the best 99's I have ever tasted. The machine is older than most and it seems to get the ice cream that bit colder or something.

I only know it as Mick O'Neill's but it probably has an actual name like Mace or something but I'm not sure.

Clean their machines? That's hilarious :pac:

Worked in a shop for 7 years and for the first 2 years the machine wasn't cleaned once. The new owners though were a bit more hygiene friendly!
