Went into happy daze on a whim with my partner, we both had a sundae and got a ice cream for our dog. The sundaes were delicious (really generous with toppings and sauce, they had dog ice cream and a wide variety of items on the menus, including hot chocolates, waffles and some themed treats like iron man ice cream. I wish I took a proper photo of the ice cream sundae before I started to eat it The decor inside was also fun and tasteful as it had that retro vibe and the staff were really friendly. They even did me a Reecees sundae instead of a waffle. I couldn't recommend them any higher and will be going back in the future.

Stopped in during the Hartlepool Tall Ships Festival. As it was a busy day with rain off and on they only offered window service. It was the only place that had a great variety of options to include hard scoop flavors. Service was fast as they keep the line moving. And I could see kids enjoying all the unique options for ice cream treats. They also offer other options for beverages.

Stopped here after a walk along the marina and promenade. I opted for the chocolate and pistachio combination and my missus opted for the salted caramel. The ice cream were delicious and we sat outside and braved the weather. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
