Best Gelato in Maynooth

"Murphy’s have been making their own brand of ice cream for 17 years now in Dingle, Kerry, with a more recent second home in Dublin. There’s only two weeks of sunshine in Dublin all year round, but when the sun is finally out, queues are quick to form outside Murphy’s. The flavours like Dingle sea salt, Dingle gin, peanut and many more are unbelievable."

"I make it my mission to try Ice Cream (gelato if we're in Italy) everywhere I travel. Ireland is no different. I scoured for the best ice cream in Dublin and found Murphys made the top of the list."
