"Delicious banana split, many varieties of ice cream to choose from! 100% customer service Bristol is sweet 2023! Thank You."
"Right near my house, nice family owned small businesses. Ice cream is great, prices are great and very clean. Some recommendations I have is to add more tables to sit at. My little ones can’t sit at the high tops. Also, take payment before you make the ice cream. I realized the last two times it was so difficult to pay after I had my cone. I would recommend some updating the interior and some painting/renovations to freshen the place up. Also, maybe add more chairs outside to the other side of the door, or even block off 1 parking spot right in front to add tables/chairs. Overall, great ice cream, super friendly caring owners who make you feel at home, great prices and service! Thank you Dunphy’s!"
"Dunphy's is not currently open. Probably just for the winter, but it was definitely closed when we were there 2 days ago."
