Mary’s Milk Bar is a cosy space for you to enjoy the best quality gelato and chocolate. The key to all Mary’s products is freshness. Mary makes the ice cream every morning until 11am so there are fresh, every-changing flavours to sample. This also means that the choice of flavours change every single day and can even sell out in the summer months – you better get down there early! There aren’t chocolates with a shelf life of a year – everything uses fresh ingredients with no preservatives. This means everything is just that little bit more delicious!
