Bude's ice cream scene has a genuine family favourite, and one that goes a step further than most by looking after the dog in your group too.
Taste of Cornwall is a genuine family favourite with generous scoops and an interesting flavour list — and it does a proper doggy ice cream option, which is a small but genuinely thoughtful touch not every ice cream shop bothers with.
A lot of "dog-friendly" venues stop at allowing a dog through the door — Taste of Cornwall goes further by actually catering to them, which is worth knowing if a family ice cream stop currently means leaving the dog out of the treat entirely.
Reviews consistently mention the scoop size here as properly generous rather than the smaller-than-expected portions some seaside shops are known for — worth knowing if value matters as much as flavour.
Given Bude's central, walkable layout, Taste of Cornwall works naturally as a stop either before or after a Summerleaze or Crooklets beach session, dog included.
Plenty of venues describe themselves as dog-friendly while stopping at simply allowing a dog through the door — Taste of Cornwall's proper doggy ice cream option goes a step further, and it's the kind of small, genuine touch that's worth rewarding with your custom.
Given the consistently generous portions reported, this is a genuinely good value stop if you're treating a larger family group rather than just one or two people — worth factoring into the day's budget as a proper treat rather than an afterthought.
