Murphy's Ice Cream in Galway

Most kind and attentive staff selling delicious selection of ice-cream. And it's made of real milk, the first thing you get when stepping in is a dairy factory smell, that only someone whose family owned a dairy farm remember... Anyway, back into the room. The lovely lady with body piercing offer us one ice-cream for free when she heard one of us was celebrating a big birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉. So kind

Murphy’s Ice Cream in Galway definitely has a special reputation, but my visit only partially convinced me. I chose the small size waffle for €6, with the varieties peanut butter and Irish cream (with alcohol, similar to Baileys). However, the portion was really very small - the ice cream was eaten in about two minutes. The medium size costs €7.50 and the large costs around €9. For me, the taste of the ice cream wasn't anything special, perhaps because I'm used to the often cheaper but very high quality Italian ice cream in Germany. My wife ordered a hot chocolate with 70% dark chocolate for €4.50 and was very satisfied. The drink was really intensely chocolaty and a real recommendation for chocolate lovers. The shop itself hardly offers any seating, which is a shame because you would like to enjoy the ice cream or cocoa in peace. A big plus, however, is the friendly staff who gave us a warm welcome. It is also possible to try varieties before deciding, which is a nice service. Overall, Murphy's Ice Cream is okay, but the small portions and the comparatively high price don't quite justify the quality of the ice cream in my opinion. While the ambience and the cocoa score points, the ice cream remains rather average for me. Therefore I give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Super exotic and delicious flavors 😋 the staff is super friendly and they let you try all the flavors you want. 10/10 everything and apart at a very good price 💖. I recommend this place 100% 🙂‍↕️✨

Delicious ice creams and nice people!

Great range of options, amazing service!

Lovely tasty treat, the ice cream flavours were fantastic and there were a wide range of options.

Fantastic service from the lady and gentleman at Murphy's Ice Cream, they were incredibly polite and friendly. The sampling initiative is a very clever and enticing technique, but was not abrasive. Ice Cream sizes go by weight here, so even if you want a small, you can still pick multiple flavours so long as it is at the weight selected. Delicious tasting, local to Ireland and a great experience overall.

Staff are super friendly and they have many unique, delicious flavours. Highly recommend!

I had seen a lot of favorable reviews for Murphy’s. I stopped here and had a chocolate whisky ice cream. The flavors were very underwhelming. I couldn’t detect the whisky and the chocolate was just so-so. The woman at the counter was really nice but I wouldn’t recommend their ice cream.

This nicely lit shop had very nice employees who offered to let us sample flavors before ordering, but I decided to just go ahead and order a bowl with 2 flavors (chocolate and butterscotch). The price was on the high side (7.5 euros), and I was disappointed in the lack of taste for both flavors (especially the butterscotch, which is typically my favorite flavor). I passed the bowl to my wife who said it was decent.
