Our story
Bears Ice Cream company is family run ice cream parlour. The concept is inspired by the traditional Icelandic ice cream parlour combined with English seasonal flavours!
In Iceland (although you might not expect it) us Icelandic people love ice cream all year long. Come storm or snow, we will still be lining up in our local ice cream shop for a delicious treat!
Icelandic ice cream shops are completely different from the typical Gelateria or Sundae shops you will find in London. The focus has always been on very high quality soft serve ice cream and serving it in interesting ways letting the customer tailor their flavours or go for something straight from the menu.
At Bears, chef and owner Philip Harrison works to develop a special ice cream experience for every age.
