No problem – 80 cent is too low I would agree but maybe….

enough , enough – Best wishes to you and your business and your great ice cream

Anyway, thanks for writing! You can certainly find much cheaper ice cream than ours around the world (and some considerably more expensive). We price simply on what we need to charge given what we do. There are many ways we could make our ice cream cheaper (moving to Germany, where the costs are lower, would be one of them), but all of them would impact on our quality (in Germany, we’d find it hard to get our fresh, indigenous Kerry cow milk!). I can promise you this – there is no ice cream “identical to our product” that costs 80c a scoop, even I imagine for a scoop the size they serve in Germany. It’s simply not feasible to make our ice cream, made in small artisan batches, with its high percentage of fresh cream, free range eggs broken by hand, natural, organic vanilla, Kilbeggan whiskey, real Baileys, etc. for that kind of price.

Thanks again for your feedback and for taking the time to leave a comment!

Is fair and objective comment not appreciated. Is any element of criticism censored??

First of all let me congratulate you on a great product, however I have to say it is extremely overpriced.

We are your ideal target market as ABC1′s and DINKies so as to speak! We are originally from Kerry but live in the UK and travel back home regularly. Two weeks ago we bought ice creams from your shops in both Killarney and Dingle. The price of 3.50 Euro per cone seemed quite expensive but we justified it as possibly the price of a premium product in a premium tourist location.

We then travelled onto Germany to the exclusive spa town of Baden-Baden. There everything was excellent from hotels to food to landscaping. On our first evening there one day after buying an ice cream from you in Dingle we walked through the prestige pedestrian centre of Baden-Baden and bought two cones from a top range cafe / ice cream parlour / restaurant premises. To our shock the price was just 80 cent per cone. Moreover the cones were identical to your product and the ice cream was equally delicious.

We travel a lot by virtue of our jobs and visit Kerry at least four times every year. Your price per cone is considerably out of line with other premium locations throughout Europe and from recollection that even includes Haagen-Daz in Leicester Square in London! You may want to consider this and do a benchmarking exercise for yourselves.
Kind Regards,
