Ahhhh only THE BEST ice cream. I had the special vanilla clotted cream ice cream with even more clotted cream on top and a flake....I had zero regret. What a treat.

Visited here due to my childhood visit to Devon and my mum forever talking about this place. I was quite disappointed. Food left out with no sort of refrigeration. Due to this avoided lunch here and opted for an ice cream. Ice creams had a taste of meat about them. Such a shame!

The best ice cream ever, all the pastries, pasties, cakes are all delicious, love the cream teas as well. Nice to eat outside at the tables, with the stream, and birds

Great little place, brought tea tea which was great value for money sat out on the waterways Infront of shop with a coffee was very enjoyable. Brought a normal Cornish pasty and a beef and stilton pasty was so nice. Lots of variety brought most of our souvenirs including homemade shortbread,scones and Devon fudge.

Visited on 2 occasions with different guests. The pasties are delicious and great value. We also tried the popular ice creams too and have to say, it was a real treat. All staff pleasant and efficient and will certainly be visiting often.

Creamery doesn't do it justice, this place is a veritable emporium of goodies. Hot and cold food, sweetmeats, ice cream, souvenirs, you name it, they've got it. When on a day trip to Dawlish (like this visit), I always make a point of popping in here. it's a must visit shop when in the town. Stocking up for the day I bought sausage rolls, a curry chicken slice, and a piece (slab more like) of Ham and cheese quiche. All the food was lovely, but the quiche in partic was one of the best i've had in a long time. And of course some fudge, to take home along with a box of chocolate raisins, cheekily boxed, and sold as 'crab poo' :) A great place, you can't go to Dawlish and not go to Gay's.

Purchased two ice creams. One with a flake, the other one the special, which had ice cream and clotted cream. Both were absolutely lovely.

We live in Cornwall and went to Dawlish to revisit Gay's Creamery for a pasty and ice cream. We had been before a few times in the distant past and enjoyed all our visits. This time was no exception. The staff were very friendly and efficient; the traditional pasties were very tasty; and the ice creams were to die for. Over all, the standard was excellent, and we would like to thank the staff for a very memorable experience. We will return.

We came here during my childhood holidays, and l always remembered the ice cream with the clotted cream and flake. 40 plus years later, I returned with my husband and adult children and was amazed that this shop is still going! The ice cream was as good as my childhood memories plus the takeaway cream tea, pasties and cakes were sampled over our 2 weeks. Obviously more expensive, but the memory of my father buying me the ice cream and saying "don't tell your mum" was worth every calorie.

We visited Gays on the first day of our holiday and the food isn?t like it used to be!! Myself and my partner are vegetarians and due to cross contamination of meat pies and pastries with the cakes ? the icing on the cake tasted of meat!!!! So disappointed as we was looking forward to a cake ?. Went back told the manager our issue and she wasn?t bothered at all. Won?t be rushing back that?s for sure!!! They need to separate the cakes and the meat products!!!

This shop has food to die for. It is our treat during our holiday. We stay in Dawlish Warren with a private owner on the Welcome park. The food is heaven and staff are nice to you. I like sitting outside in the park watching the birds on the river, and eating those lovely cakes and scones. I can see why this place is a hit for tourists.

A lovely shop with great selection of pasty?s sausage rolls ice cream cream teas drink sweets etc. friendly staff and served very promptly. We had a pasty each and grandchildren a cake and ice cream then sat by stream running through Dawlish watching the swans. And ducks. Grandchildren loved it and the produce was 1 st class. I timed my visit right as a guy serving ( lovely chap with beard did not get name) gave me a free small pasty as doing a promotion that day so took that home for tea. The cream tea is a must lovely light scones jam and cream. All made on premises. Lovely treat on holiday. Well done gays as all reasonably priced and not like some places we visited just try to rip off people with silly pricing. See you next year ?

We popped in during our visit to Dawlish. The pasty and scones we bought here were delicious. They also sell bags of feed for the ducks and swans outside which was a lovely addition.
