Mackie’s first ice cream parlour is set to officially open tomorrow.

The flagshop cafe will be the second business to open within the Marischal Square development.

Mackie’s 19.2, located exactly 19.2 miles away from the Westertown Farm where the ice cream is made, will stock some of the firm’s favourite flavours as well as their new Italian-inspired Napoli ice cream.

And to top it off, the cafe will even have a chocolate tap – delivering perfectly melted liquid chocolate to top their selection of crepes and waffles.

Kirstin Mackie, development director at Mackie’s of Scotland, said: “We have been planning this for such a long time that to see the end result turn out to be everything we had envisioned, from the design concept to the layout, is fantastic.

“Now that all of our hard work has paid of, we can’t wait to invite in our customers so they can experience the ‘sophistication dipped in fun’ that is 19.2.”

It's the final 'cow-down'! It has been a busy weekend at our Marischal Square ice cream parlour – staff training ahead… Posted by Mackie's 19.2 on Sunday, 3 December 2017

The parlour, which cost £200,000 to fit out, has drawn unusual inspiration for its interior decoration – including Australian nightclub themed ceiling with LED baffles designed to mimic the swirls of sauces mixed through their ice cream, and a life size cow sculpture.

Kirstin added: “The parlour reflects our love of making ice cream, so we have loved filling it with the traditional favourites but also with some of our more exotic experiments.

“We have spent months getting everything ready and making sure the team is in place to ensure our guests wand visitors will enjoy ith the best customer service possible.

“Mackie’s started as a local family business and we aim to stay true to that with everything we do, so to have been able to work with Scottish suppliers and employ local people means a lot to us.”
