    Best ice cream hands down. A must go on your trip to Kingston Jamaica. They have a curried goat patty to die for. Cakes and other desserts. Picnic on the lawn. So good.

    Did you really visit Jamaica if you didn’t try ice cream from Devon House? It is the best, this sweet treat is creamy and delicious. The parlour makes a number of flavours, each one uniquely delicious. Your tastebuds will say THANK YOU!

    The 5 stars are for the ice-cream, truly is one of the best in the world - flavorful! The grounds are one of the few green spaces for people and children. Hate what they’ve done to the courtyard, laying bricks where grass used to be. Extremely silly and myopic.

    Famous Devon House ice cream! Great historical site. Ice cream was great! Nice selection of flavours and great toppings. I came away with a massive bag of toppings for my ice cream cone! Great value for money. Lovely grounds with lots of little shops. Very pristine eatery. Would recommend this particular one, if you plan on trying this chain out. ♥️😍

    Long Long waiting line on Sunday evenings. but it is worth the wait. Take your own napkins or wipes. The serving portion is very generous.

    Customer service was perfect Took me 10 mins to get my ice cream. Chocolate and cookies and cream. They didn’t have my favorite waffle cones. But that was ok. My ice cream fell from the cone. It was replaced immediately. Shout out to the security guard. Very polite.

    Got our ice-cream in record time. Good customer service, value for money...just can't go wrong with Devon house I Scream. Brought my husband there for the first time and he absolutely enjoyed it. No complaints 👌

    Devon House is still the number one ice cream place for me. They definitely need help managing the crowd though. The wait is a bit long but the ice cream is worth it. Can't say the same for the milkshake which was a bit overpriced for the amount you get.

    The best ice cream I've ever had. I had the coffee flavour because...why not. The are no ice crystala in this ice cream, it's completely smooth and not too sweet or too strong in the flavour, but at the same time the flavour is rich. I love it!

    Ice cream is always good. But the long lines were horrible especially when you have kids with you. There wasn't any seating available to wait in line. Then once inside was another long wait to get served. Always crowded unless it's early morning. Ask for extra napkins you will need them and a spoon too. If you plan to stay and have your ice cream travel with a blanket so you can sit on the lawn. The benches are usually full.

    Had the patty “beef” at Devon house for the first time. It was delightful. I was surprised by how much filling was on the inside, the beef was well seasoned and the crust delicious. Would definitely stop by and try different fillings another day.

    This is the only ice cream place in Jamaica 🇯🇲 that I will wait in line for ice cream 🍨 for hours and don’t complain. Best ice cream ever. Creamy and delicious 😋 with a variety of flavors . “It worth the wait”, this should be their slogan.

    Really good milkshakes! I had the cookies and cream with whipped cream and Oreo cookie toppings. It was not too cold and just the right size. Also, they use wider straws which I appreciate. Only drawback is the very very long line that wraps around the building but it is worth the wait.

    They give you a LOT of ice cream! We got 2-scoop sundaes, and they actually put more like 4 scoops in there. You definitely get your money's worth!

    It was a rainy day so I didn’t get to stroll through the lovely grounds. However, I had a great experience with the staff and of course Devon House ice cream never disappoint ( love the full creamy taste). You can ask to sample a flavor prior to purchase, as well as the option to request multiple flavors with scoops option ( I had rum & raisin and crunchier munchie in waffle cone). FYI: Waffle cone is a great help in containing the “ melt”😉. Just wish they had more flavor options.

    Was the best ice cream we have had and it didn't cause the same reaction to my body as dairy does back in Canada. Had it twice for the week and was over the moon happy with the taste. A must try.

  • 5/5 kevin c. 9 months ago on Google
    This cream is the bomb, lots of favors couple with great value for money. The atmosphere is unbelievable on the backdrop of breathtaking architecture. If you are in Kingston then ensure to stop here are try a favor that you have never had.

  • 3/5 Cynthia A. 9 months ago on Google
    Only sales ice cream, had to eat the ice cream really fast or it will melt off the cone. Restrooms are very tight and lack tissue paper in the stalls in the women's restroom. The line was very long and had to wait. Then when it was my time to pick my flavor of ice cream it was sold out.

  • 5/5 Diana �. 1 year ago on Google
    The ice cream is so delicious. I had a vanilla ice cream mixed with bits of ice cream cone and fudge, AWESOME!!!!

  • 4/5 A 8 months ago on Google
    Delicious ice cream and huge portions, but the wait was awful. 1 person at the till and 10 people at the ice cream boxes, which didn't make any sense. However, it is still worth a visit if you like ice cream.

    Devon House has the best ice-cream in the island. If you've ever wondered why smokers are addicted to cigars and alcoholics to said beverages this is where addiction starts. The atmosphere inside is so pleasant and clean. The workers all fitted with masks and head gear which is a plus as cleanliness is a big thing in any food oriented place. The outside during the days you can see kids running around and enjoying themselves and in the night it's more is a adults time kinda vibe to chill out and relax and have a good conversation. Great place to take you family and or significant other

    The number one go to place in Jamaica for ice-cream. Also while you're at it get the Curry Goat patty from the bakery, it's a 10/10 for me.

  • 5/5 Beverley J. 1 year ago on Google
    I have heard so much about the curry goat patties and lobster patties I just had to venture over onto Devon House and sample for myself... Well let me tell you........ Curry goat patties, yum yum yum yum yum, it had my taste buds dancing with delight. I should have tried the lobster first but it was as equally good.... Yes it's pricey but hey, nothing is ever too expensive for my belly... It was worth every dollar.... Oh my, how could I forget the pastries and fresh juices drop the 🎤.... This was the highlight to my trip to Kingston.... Way to go DH.

    Yummy ice cream! I got Blush flavor on a regular cone. Perfect way to end the day!

  • 4/5 Tonia B. 1 year ago on Google
    The line on a Sunday is very long but it moved fairly quickly. The guidance from security was also very helpful. The service from the staff was less than desirable. When a place opened for serving ice cream, a security guard directed my father to go there but the attendant refused to serve him because the security guard sent him before she held up her hand to indicate that she was ready for another customer. An otherwise perfectly organized machine was ruined by one damaged cog. The ice cream was pretty good though.

    Devon House I Scream is always the go to place to get good quality ice cream locally. For best experience, stay away on Sundays and Saturdays; especially Sundays. It has a good ambiance, a large play area for kids and there is a large list of flavours to choose from with the option to add toppings.

  • 5/5 Elaine D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here 5 years ago and still remember this ice cream as a highlight of my trip! I had a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream and it was absolutely divine. Some of the best ice cream I have ever had. If you visit Kingston, you must stop here!!!

  • 4/5 Lennox D. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m kinda off ice cream but thanks to Devon House I Scream, came off that last week. Wonderful as usual… and the crowd waiting patiently seemed to agree. Didn’t see all the flavors I’m accustomed to but that didn’t matter much as Devon Stout and Rum & Raisin were available. Management, could we have some lights for the crowd waiting outside in the line? Thanks much!

  • 4/5 Laura Pena G. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place with delicious ice cream flavours. It has beautiful spots to have a picnic and to play around. It also has many restaurants that I really enjoyed. However, I have a complain to make about what happened today when I returned. I was at a spot with a friend and it was near one of the security posts and we heard an animal locked inside. I spoke with the security guard and he replied by saying "I'm not an animal expert, I'm a security guard." He could of unlocked the door and let the animal out, but instead he didn't do anything about it and it seemed a bit rude the way he replied.

  • 5/5 Elroy G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a must for anyone visiting the island or Kingston specifically. They have the best ice cream at reasonable prices considering the huge portions. If you want a cone get a single scoop, if you want two flavors (double scoop) get a container. It's the same price but you're less likely to have a sticky mess dripping down your hand. The grounds are lovely and seating is sufficient.

  • 5/5 Kerwin M. 1 year ago on Google
    The ice cream is just so good. Visit was marred by my server having a bad day; no greeting nor proper communication. It's like she wanted to go home as she was tired. Good atmosphere and worth the trip even though the ice cream is expensive!!! It's 1,400 jmd for 2 scoops in a waffle cone and 650JMD foe a single scoop in a cone. It's a great treat despite the high prices though and the ice cream is top notch.

    Lovely spot to visit, spend time with family or meet up with friends. We were visiting from abroad and decided to see if any vegan options existed and sadly there were none. So we sat at one of the picnic tables in the lawn area and ate our vegan Juciy Beef patties.

  • 4/5 Paul-Ann J. 2 years ago on Google
    Without a doubt the ice cream is among the best. A week day is almost as busy as the weekend.

  • 5/5 O A. 2 years ago on Google
    Best icecream in the world, lots of flavors to choose from. The patties are the best on the island.

  • 5/5 Aiden 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing ice cream and food. Can get full but everything is worth the wait. You get your money's worth when it comes to these things

  • 4/5 Rochelle H. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely ice cream cone from Devon House. It was so smooth and refreshing.

  • 5/5 Garfield T, L. 2 years ago on Google
    The mouth watering flavors cannot be described with words. All I could say when I tasted my dragon stout and rum and raisins was "oh my god". Ice-cream has never been so good! It won't taste like this anywhere else in the world. It made me think I have never had Ice-cream before. It was also so wonderful to see families with kids eating Ice-cream and running around. An excellent bakery is also on the property and guess what, their baked good are just as good. Try the curry goat patty but don't expect to share it with anyone, you won't. The rum cake won't disappoint either 😋. This is a must go.
