Murphy's Ice Cream in Galway

Delicious flavors (the whiskey chocolate is a must have), & a cheerful and welcoming staff

We opted for Murphy's because it was the only ice cream parlor still open after dinner, which struck us as odd since it was only 8 PM and there were large crowds, particularly of young adults—ideal for an ice cream shop. Upon entering, it quickly became evident that this establishment is renowned for its high-quality ice cream and excellent treatment of its staff, which we truly appreciated. I never imagined I would enjoy bread in my ice cream—it sounds like a terrible mix—but it turned out to be the best ice cream I've ever tasted, and the chocolate whiskey flavor was simply divine. For those with allergies: I’m from Canada and have had a severe cow's milk allergy my entire life. If I consume anything with milk, I need lactaid immediately! However, during my time in Ireland, I found that I could drink milk without any adverse effects. In fact, since returning home, I've been craving Irish milk! So, if you have any dairy sensitivities, rest assured you’ll be fine. Make sure to visit Murphy's Ice Cream while in Galway; you’ll definitely regret it if you miss out! My only suggestion for improvement is regarding their payment system—it was a bit confusing. I nearly left without paying because I mistakenly thought I had completed the transaction, only to realize I had only tapped the tipping machine, which is separate. It would be beneficial for the shop to combine transaction types into one machine. Additionally, be prepared for higher prices, as it’s definitely on the touristy side, but the quality and flavor make it worth every penny.

So creamy we came back twice in one day! The kind staff offered samples of every flavor & we got 2 different flavor scoops in the €6 small cone. We love, love, loved the Irish Soda Bread - it was hands down all of our favorite! And we throughly enjoyed the Honeycomb Caramel, Irish Cream and the seasonal Lemon Curd they were just releasing that afternoon too. Each and every flavor was jam packed in every lick! Thank you for making our day grand!

Not sure why we didn't try Murphy's while we were actually in Dingle, but it was great to have some ice cream when we needed a short break and snack in Galway. Of course had to try the Dingle gin flavor since we had done the tour at the distillery earlier in our trip. Delicious so stop on in of you need a scoop!

Came in on Thursday around 4PM, the best service we’ve had so far on our trip across Ireland! Absolutely lovely service and great tasting ice cream!

Delicious ice cream with unique flavors and ingredients sourced from Ireland only. The staff was very warm and friendly and provided excellent quick service. Definitely should try Murphy's ice cream if you visit Ireland and this location is a good one!

Superb ice cream with great service. Very Kid friendly!

Delicious ice cream and very nice staff

Tuve una gran visita aquí. El helado es absolutamente precioso. El personal nos dio un gran Céad Míle Fáilte. Nell y Shane son increíbles embajadores de Murphys. Conocían tantos detalles sobre el helado y la marca y eran amables y bienvenidos. Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar aquí. Gracias.

Caramelo salado y sal marina son una buena combinación. Los helados que comimos eran excepcionales, helado de buena calidad en muchos sabores fantásticos. La gente puede decir que este helado es caro, pero la calidad es excepcional. También vale la pena probar el sándwich de galletas de helado. Volveremos de nuevo cuando en Galway de nuevo.
