ice-cream parlour

Frozen dessert establishment

An ice-cream parlour is a shop or café specializing in ice cream and related frozen desserts, typically serving sundaes, milkshakes, and cones.

The term evokes old-fashioned establishments with counter seating and a nostalgic atmosphere: We stopped at an ice-cream parlour on the boardwalk.

Also spelled ice-cream parlor.
