Scrum Diddly’s

You will always hear of this ice cream shop as being the best in south county Dublin. And they are right. You may have to wait 15mins but it’s worth it. The combinations of topping and icecreams inside is crazy for kids but equally adults mouths will water as you see the finish icecreams. Worth the wait for sure

Perfect place to release the sweet demon inside you! It has all the devilish toppings you could want and more. It doesn’t have any seats which is why I give the 4stars. Keep up the good work

Incredible ice cream. So many choices. Have been there a few times now and have never been disappointed. The staff are very nice. A must stop on a sunny day in south Dublin.

Teddy’s ran the Ice Cream racket in Dun Laoghaire for years until the moneyed family’s of The Ranelagh Scrum’s and the Shankill Diddly’s combined and set up businesses all along Dublin’s south coast.
The much coveted real estate of seaside Dun Laoghaire is now in decline due to Scrumdiddly’s and Teddy’s Ice Cream’s constant gang wars.
The turnover of staff at Scrum Diddly’s and Teddy’s are incredibly high due to intimidation, thuggery and occasional beatings that take place between the employees of both brands.
The Dun Laoghaire Pier, once a popular spot for joggers and otient weekenders is now desolate, marked in several places by shrines of deceased former employees who had been found either beaten to death on the pier or drowned by being thrown into the harbour itself strapped to a giant novelty 99 cone.
Dubliners just want an end to this unnecessary hate. Too much Ice Cream has been spilled on the sea salted concrete.
In the words of local poet and former Teddy’s gang member himself Dylan Coburn Gray
«Those who wish to follow me,
I welcome with my hands
And the Red Sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior without the taste of cones.»
How many Scrummy Tubs need to be sold before the violence can come to an end?

This place’s reputation proceeded this, and having started a new job in DL, everytime I walked past this place there was always a queue out the door. I’m an ice-​cream fiend so there was no way I was going to let this opportunity pass me by while the last of the summer was in the air. The main type of ice-​cream they serve here is soft serve, you can get sundaes (oreo, snickers) or soft serve in a cup with 2 – 3 toppings. The branding is very playful and is echoed throughout the building and staff uniforms. Once inside there’s only about 3 stools for customers to sit, its very small. A lot of the toppings were of the penny sweet kind — I can see how kids and families love this place. The ice-​creams are like a choose-​your-​own McFlurry type deal. There’s also the option to get other flavours at the second ice cream counter. My waffle cone was slightly stale so I didn’t end up eating it.
Overall, great for young families, or for a casual grab and go ice cream to eat along the pier.

Had two weeks off from work at the start of August, so a few of us decided one night to hop in the car and head on over to Dun Laoghaire to check out the now, made famous by teenage girls instagram profiles, Scrumdiddlys. Was it worth it? Hmmm… maybe? It is only ice cream afterall and they’re certainly not reinventing the wheel, but what Scrumdiddlys does, it does well. I’d suggest going for one of their signature made ice cream cups instead of choosing their ice cream and 2 toppings option. At € 5 you get quite a large cup overflowing with ice cream, a premium sauce, and toppings galore. I got the Ferrero Roche ice cream that was loaded with their melted Ferrero Roche sauce. My God, I could have eaten a cup of that alone! In fact, when I was done, I ate half of my sisters one too! And this was after eating a large dinner shortly beforehand, so that’s saying how much I enjoyed it. They also had a large Kinder Bueno cup too that looked very tempting. I can definitely see myself returning for that one.
So Scrumdiddlys, probably a little overhyped at this stage but by no means does that mean it wasn’t good. Because it was, it was damn good.

I’ve been walking past this place on a weekly basis for a few months now. Every time there is nice weather out the line for this place extends all the way out of the shop and down the road. From afar I could never understand why as it just looked like regular vanilla ice cream to me.
So last weekend the weather was nice and my boyfriend and I were in Dun Laoghaire (spelling?) So finally decided to give this place a try and I stand corrected. Yes, this place is vanilla ice cream based but they offer an impressive selection of concoctions by way of added fruits, toppings and all kinds of delicious goodies. You can also make your own by having the ice cream with a selection of different chocolates and sweets added from the large variety presented. What a treat it was.
I forget the name of what I ordered, but it was something toffee and banana based. I was really impressed that the banana and sauce weren’t just at the top of the ice cream leaving you to just eat plain vanilla after that, nope, they put in the effort to weaving the delicious banana and sauce all through, so as you keep eating you keep getting surprised with me delicious goodness. I finally get why the lines here are long, but so worth it!

I have read reviews online about this ice-​cream store that people line up just to get ice cream. And it was no joke! The queue reached the side street of the store! But we didn’t have to wait that long since there were about 4 staff working and they were really quick in serving customers.
Their products range from an average of € 4 – 5 which is very affordable!
I got the Snickerbocker Glory. It is made of whipped ice cream at the middle, caramel sauce, ice cream with Snickers flavour and Snickers chunks. It cost € 5 for a huge cup.
The only downside of this store is the lack of seats for customers. We ate our ice cream at the curb since it was really crowded inside due to its popularity.

The Gods of Ice Cream sent to us… Scrum Diddly’s! Yes this place is a gift from heaven!
Amazing ice cream shop that has the most amazing out of this world selection of toppings allowing you to create something like over 2,400 types of ice cream extravaganza or you can select from some of their expert put together recipes such as the Ferraro which is just the most amazing thing! The toppings to pick from is so extensive, from chocolate, sweet or fruit, there really is something for everyone. You can also opt for waffles and crepes from their menu all with a good dollop of ice cream of course… The downside here is that word has since spread about this place so the queues are ridiculous, it’s only a small corner store and yet the queue can go around the block and I’m not even exaggerating! It’s no doubt gonna find it way onto every ‘top 10 things to do in Dublin’ lists, grab a Scrum Diddly’s and hit the Dun Laoghaire Pier :-) #perfectday

Love love love …
Ok — prices are super cheap, affordable and reasonable …
selection is only more than fantastic !!! very decent menu … wide range of toppings. all sorts of jellys and such … i ordered a cup of ice cream with strawberries and meringue mashed in and choc egg toppings — they also did an Easter special… was a half of an Easter egg and lots of other bits and treats filled in it such as jelly eggs and ice cream and mini eggs for a fiver !!! they do crepes and waffles also .
you cant eat inside — so nice to go when the weather is good and eat it out on the pier …
staff are only ok –nothing special. you would expect them to be super happy and friendly, considering the place itself — but no, however they are quick and efficient which is great considering the queues that do be out the door… and probs the most important …

Amazing. I got the Easter special and I don’t think I’ve been so happy. If you you chocolate and ice cream this is the one stop shop. You get half an Easter egg filled with ice cream, sauce and 3 toppings. Even with the kids in front of me the staff were nothing but kind and patient! Bravo!

Best ice cream parlour by far & the selection is endless! I still have brain freeze after my big tub of «Scrummy Mess» I had an hour ago. its sorta like an eton mess but has the biggest chunks of meringue in it and I added some tiny marshmallows and blue syrup. You can have anything ferrero roche, powdered teeth, kinder bueno milkshakes etc. the list is never ending. This place needs to be bigger it opens until 9pm and theres only two seats inside :(had to eat in the cold but was well worth the trip! :) cant wait to go back in the summer time. Its also really cheap only cost like € 3 each :)

Great little ice cream shop — huge variety of ice creams, toppings, sauces, and the likes.
Sure is giving the overrated Teddy’s a run for its money.
Most times I drive past the queue out the door and around the corner!

Scrumdiddlysssss. What’s ther to say. Ice cream with a humongous choice of toppings. It’s amazing and it’s so cheap for the huge quantity they give you.
Love the snicker Sunday
And banofee waffle
Oooo and apple pie. GET EVERYTHING!
