Ice cream served with a smile

You can also feel the relaxed atmosphere among the staff: their informal hospitality puts a smile on everyone’s face. The charming setting attracts many day-trippers, with families in particular flocking to ’t IJshuys for its luxurious ice cream sundaes. “The place to be for delicious ice cream […] a very clean place, neat restrooms, and perfect service,” said a delighted Flemish guest. ’t IJshuys has already scored a perfect 100% four times during unannounced food safety inspections by the Houwers Group.
