The recently published National Geographic book Food Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 Extraordinary Places to Eat Around the Globe has listed Devon House, Kingston, Jamaica as the fourth best place in the world to eat ice-cream. The book noted the following: “Devon House is a masterpiece of Caribbean Victorian architecture and home to the island’s most celebrated ice-cream stand...

“The 27 flavours run a broad gamut, from traditional cherry and pistachio to exotic island treats like mango, coconut, and soursop. There is even an offbeat, beer-based ice-cream called Devon Stout. Grab a cone and recline in the sprawling gardens,” the rave review of the Jamaican-based ice-cream parlour continued. Capogiro Gelato in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was ranked the number one ice-cream destination; Ted Drewes Frozen Custard in St Louis, Missouri was listed at number two; Bombay Ice Creamery in San Francisco, California was third; and Helados Scannapieco in Buenos Aires, Argentina, fifth.

André Reid, marketing and events manager at Devon House, was mightily pleased with the attention given to the historic property’s much-loved dairy spot. “Devon House I-Scream is the most popular spot at Devon House and National Geographic is discovering what many Jamaicans have long known. We’re honoured the ice-cream product has been so recognised and we hope to continue hosting future travel writers who visit Jamaica. It is our hope that the other fine businesses here at Devon House will also be able to gain international recognition as the ice-cream has.”
