Strachan's Ice Cream & Desserts - Dunedin

Better than Leopoldo’s. Carrotcake ice cream is go to. Peanut butter cup was bomb

Why would you take the carrot cake out of the carrot cake ice cream?! Why change such a good thing?? Not mad, just highly disappointed. Was so looking forward to that ice cream tonight and was really let down.

Disappointing Visit — Better Options Nearby

Stopped into Strachan’s Ice Cream & Desserts in Dunedin hoping for a sweet treat, but overall, it was a pretty underwhelming experience. I tried the Almond Joy — it was just okay, not very sweet, and didn’t really capture the flavor I expected. The cherry was worse — had a medicinal taste that was hard to get past.

What really brought the experience down, though, was the service. The staff came off as rude and uninterested, like they were too cool to be bothered. Not exactly the warm, welcoming vibe you want at an ice cream shop.

With other dessert spots just down the block, I’d say skip this one and try your luck elsewhere. There are better scoops — and better service — just a short walk away.

Great ice cream, but no indoor seating. The ice cream was awesome though and the designs look very nice. Overall awesome.

In a very busy location. Was hard to find a parking spot, but once parked, it was well worth it. Some of the best ice cream ever. Lots of choices, and very quick service. Plenty of outside seating in a cute little park.

Solid local ice cream shop either tons of flavors and options. If the flavors don’t sway you, the smell of freshly made waffle cones and candies will. Check out the variety of fudge, caramels and pralines. Cake and pie lovers won’t miss the select variety of favs such as red velvet and carrot cake. Craft and old-timey sodas fills the fridge. Standing only counters to eat or you can check outside for a couple of table spots.

We were listing a home in the area and stopped by for some ice cream on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of seating and the downtown atmosphere in Dunedin is nice.

Tasty ice cream and ready-made single-serving desserts and whole cakes in the cooler. Friendly staff.

Super delicious, reasonably priced and also flavors were top notch!

We’ve been coming to Strachans for years for all our holiday and birthday cakes and sweet treats. Somehow, they seem to have gotten better in the last year or so. They’ve got the absolute best cakes. I don’t know how carrot cakes can be good enough for my kids to want them for their birthdays, but Strachans cakes are that good. Everyone loves this place.

Waited in line. Got ignored and cut in front of by a bunch of people with screaming kids. After no service and that happening clearly in front of the employees who didn't care, we left

They have a nice collection of ice creams and shakes. Loved the rocky road flavor.

The smell of freshly cooked waffle cones when walking in the building is exatly what you want in an ice cream shop. Waffle cone with 2 (very large) scoops of turtle cheesecake ice cream was loaded with caramel and cheesecake chunks. Very good!

Parking: Parking is in the back of the building via an alleyway.
