Welcome to Big Mouth, a delightful little café nestled at the Ashford Garda Station in the picturesque surroundings of Ballinahinch, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. This charming spot is not just a pit stop; it's a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike, offering an exceptional selection of homemade ice creams and other delectable treats.

At Big Mouth, the spotlight shines on their remarkable ice creams, with flavors that tantalize the taste buds and evoke memories of sunny afternoons spent indulging in sweet delights. One of the standout offerings is the homemade Strawberry Gelato; a rich, creamy concoction that brings a taste of summer with every spoonful. It’s no wonder that customers, like Maeve Kenny, rave about its fabulousness, stating, “Fabulous homemade Strawberry Gelato here.” And for those who crave something familiar, the traditional 99s are available too, ensuring everyone leaves with a smile.

But the joy doesn’t end with ice cream. Big Mouth also offers delicious pizzas that have garnered the approval of many visitors, like Johann Smith, who described their experience as “very good” and appreciated the generous portions.

The vibrant atmosphere here is perfect for families, with Gerard Tamakloe sharing his positive experience hosting his daughter’s birthday party, emphasizing the outstanding service and creativity in making a unique cake using donuts!

While Big Mouth might be a tiny hole-in-the-wall ice cream parlour, as noted by grant densem, the quality and flavor of their offerings are anything but small. Picture yourself enjoying a scoop of tropical mango-passion fruit sorbet on a warm summer day or unwinding with a perfectly brewed cup of coffee while savoring a mouthwatering affogato. The cozy outdoor seating allows you to savor these treats in the fresh air, making each visit feel like a mini getaway.

For those who adore an extensive beverage selection, your cravings will be met with their superb hot drinks range. Summer days call for refreshing sundaes and shakes, offering opportunities to mix and match flavors to create your own sweet masterpiece.

We're always driving past and had some family over and decided to try the ice cream. Boy it was very good. Good portions and very happy smiles. One decided on a pizza, again this was very good, and the surprise is the extras that was thrown in, mini doughnuts and popcorn. We've been back again.

A tiny hole on the wall ice cream parlour, but the ice creams are big and very tasty. Will we go back.Yes, and it,s on the way back from horse riding to. The only downside is that there are only tables outside.

Just had a small party for my daughters 13th birthday at Big Mouth. It was a bit last minute due to the recent weather. We couldn't have picked a better place. The crew at Big Mouth go above and beyond. Pizza's were fabulous and they made an amazing 'cake' from donuts! The seven girls and the three parents all had a great time. Would highly recommend Big Mouth for a small gathering, love their outdoor pods. Great value and good party food.

Summer lovin!!! We just dropped for ice cream :) and it was on a hot hot hot day! What a lovely and accommodating place. I have asked for a sorbet and I wasn’t disappointed with a tropical mango-passion fruit taste. Also coffee perfect. Too late I have spotted they serve affogato! Otherwise I would have just that. And they have it in the menu. Hot drinks selection superb. Sundaes and shakes galore, slushies also. Recommended!

Excellent ice cream and good value. Coffee is always smooth and very nice. Definitely worth a stop if you are travelling on N11. I have been there 4 times before and always been satisfied with the delicious options like crepes. Highly recommended.
