What I am claiming is that there are places where you go inside, sit down, and order an ice cream to eat whilst seated. I am claiming that there are other places which have no facilities for sitting, where you buy an ice cream that you take outside and consume elsewhere. These differences exist in reality. How they have been mapped, especially when the wiki page is misleading, is another matter.

I'll grant you that the Wikipedia page for ice cream parlours includes establishments that are takeaway only, but I'm not sure if that truly reflects US usage. Here is an image search https://www.google.com/search?q=ice+cream+kiosk+seaside&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7qvnPmeDlAhUEQhUIHXcGAoEQsAR6BAgJEAE which shows mosly ice cream kiosks which are takeaway only. I would not refer to those as ice cream parlours. -- Paul
