... - Happy Endings are popping up in Shoreditch with ice cream sandwiches and soft serve
We've been big fans of Happy Endings' ice cream sandwiches for a while now. They've cornered the market in delivering London's very best ice cream sandwiches and there's a good chance you'll have come across them on some restaurant menus, or at shops like Nourished Communities.
