Torry's Ice Cream - Ban Talat Yai

Torry’s was a highly recommended must visit by the tour guide on our trip for their ice-cream. When we reached it was indeed one of the most popular place among a sea of cafes along this market street. A large crowd outside and long queue inside for take aways showed that everyone wanted an ice-cream to cool off on a hot sunny day. Be warned that table seating is extremely limited and you need to leave your names with the staff for them to arrange. Most were just happy to buy and take away and eat them outside ! I had the coconut flavor ice-cream in blue and it was good with ample coconut taste not overwhelmingly sweet.

Pretty looking place and fancy looking menu. Not the cheapest, however it was worth to try the croissant with the kaya, this tasted really well. The chocolate milkshake was nice, you can taste the bitterness of the chocolate well. I liked that is was not too sweet. Unfortunate that they only have cow’s milk for the milkshake. The staff was really friendly and explained the menu when we were seated. Overall a good experience and glad that we stopped by.

The cafe itself is beautiful. We tried the ice cream cake, the multi scoop sundae and the ice cream croissants, ice cream cake is too hard, and the balance is a bit off. The flavors of the ice cream are generally not bad, we tried 8 flavors and liked most of them. The one stands out for us is the blue flower coconut flavor. The ice cream croissant combination is the best, it hits the spot, we even ordered a second time as it was that good, was initially going to give 4 star but it wouldn’t do justice for the ice cream croissant.

Delicious ice-cream! Got the 6 mini scoop sampler! Our favorites were the pineapple/passion fruit and the peanut brittle! But all of them were delicious! The chocolate icecream is nice and dark. We also got the croissant with coconut ice-cream and it was very good!

Good for a nice experience, but don’t have too high hopes for the overall value. For starts, we waited in line for a table, only 5 mins which is fine, but if the queue is more than 10 mins I would recommend just moving on. Make sure to order a pot of tea and create a little British/Chinese Tea event out of the experience, just with ice cream instead of scones. This makes it fun. I was disappointed by the Strawberry Sundae. Based on pictures (menu and online) I was hoping for nice strawberry but what I got was clearly frozen and now mushy strawberries lacking flavour. To be fair, I haven’t really seen strawberries here in general, not a local fruit obviously but for the price and expectations it fell short. So value wise I felt it lacked a little, even if the experience is great. Aside from this everything was nice. The staff are amazing and the location is fantastic.
