Bailey's Ice Cream Bermuda
$, Ice Creams and Snack
The Restaurant and Ambience
Located in Hamilton Parish and close to the Grotto Bay resort, this is essentially an ice cream parlor that makes ice creams with exotic flavors and also serves snack items like fresh bread sandwiches. This is one of the best places in Bermuda when it comes to homemade ice creams.
If you decide to take lunch at
Swizzle Inn (across the road) or go towards the airport, you can stop by Bailey's Ice Cream Parlour and have an ice cream. You can also make a stop here before your visit to the Crystal Caves. It's set up in a nice traditional Bermudian cottage type building.

Food and Specialties
There are many flavors of homemade ice creams prepared here.
Popular ones with the locals are the Dark and Stormy, Run Swizzle, Nutty cumin and Tomato jam, all of which have unique island flavors. While you get Bailey's ice creams elsewhere in the island including in the U.S departure lounge of the airport, you won't get some of the unique flavors there like rum and ginger which are available only here.
Some of the other great choices include the Irish cream, Bermuda banana, coconut, white-chocolate cherries and chips. Try out the Rum Raisin Ice Cream ... it's fabulous. Another favorite of ours is the chocolate ice cream and brownie sundae.
While the brownie is as good as they come, the ice cream is beautifully presented topped with a bitter chocolate sauce, a squirt of cream, nuts and lots of glace cherries. Whenever we take our lunch at the nearby Swizzle Inn, we would usually come to take this Rum Raisin cone at the Bailey's. So lunch at Swizzle inn and desserts at Bailey's Ice Cream are always a great combination. Bailey's also serves fresh fruit ices, frozen yogurt, sorbets and bottled juices and water.

Mango, Dark n Stormy, Tomato Jam and Coconut Rum Raisin
The Coconut ginger sorbet is especially delicious. There are some 40 different types of cool products made by them. Some of the great local favorites during the summer includes chocolate chip cookie dough, butterscotch crunch, Oreo sweet cream and mango-passion fruit. If you are lactose intolerant, they make non-dairy ice-creams as well.
The menu was enhanced in 2005 to include hot snacks like chicken legs, fish cakes, peas ’n’ rice, meat pies, meatball subs, sandwiches and hot dogs etc. There are picnic tables outside on the small terrace. So from a modest ice cream parlor, Bailey's has been growing to an eatery.
Service
Service here is pleasant, prompt and friendly. They help you make the right choices. The owners have served ice cream here for years. We chatted with them and got several tips about the local places to eat and visit.
Trivia
The restaurant is closed during the winter time. They don't accept credit cards. You will need to pay in cash. The outlet has done little in terms of refurbishment and the restrooms are a tad old-fashioned. It is however very clean, air-conditioned and great to enjoy your ice cream on a hot day without it melting away too fast. They also have ample parking space.
Conclusion
If you are looking for some great homemade ice creams made from scratch, this is your go-to place. They have interesting and innovative flavors that are mouth-watering and delicious. We think it is the best way to cool off and unwind on a hot summer day in Bermuda. Make it your first stop when you visit the island, or your last as you depart, but a visit here is a must when you are on the island during the summer months.
Open Hours
Daily 12noon - 8pm during summer time. They are usually closed in winter. Expectedly so as there is not much demand for ice creams during the winter time.
