Amsterdam Ice Cream Guide

As you, our beloved readers, make our hearts melt, we've taken upon ourselves the strenuous task of uncovering the best ice cream spots in Amsterdam.

Lait De Choco

Amalia won us over with her homemade chocolate long ago, now she’s got us lining up for soft serve. Her flavour combos hit every time (think tahini, rose, dark chocolate), and somehow manage to feel both nostalgic and brand new. If you needed a reason to head east, this is it..

Miuz Gelato & Coffee

If you’re a pistachio loyalist, this one’s a no-brainer. But Miuz is also for the adventurers: think burrata ice cream, banana bread flavour, the works. Grab a cup, walk five minutes, and disappear into Vondelpark like it’s a movie.

Massimo Gelato

The verdict’s been out, and we agree. Massimo serves what might just be the best gelato in town. If you find yourself at the De Pijp outpost, pair your scoop with a post-lick glass of natural wine at Glouglou next door. It’s called balance.

het paradijs is zacht en zoet (home made ice cream)

The name says it all: paradise is soft and sweet. This dreamy little ice cream cart in Oosterpark delivers exactly that. Every scoop hits, the owners are even sweeter, and let’s be honest: maybe this is the sign you needed to finally go on that park ‘run.’

Monte Pelmo

Straightforward, great Italian ice cream in Jordaan.

IJssalon Tofani

Tofani’s been around forever, quietly holding it down on the corner of Nieuwmarkt. No frills, no fuss, just really good scoops. The affogato is a classic, but if you know, you know: the blood orange is the one.

Van Soest Amsterdam

Van Soest is a chocolatier with multiple locations in Amsterdam. Whilst their chocolate may be great, do not skip on their ice-cream. The white chocolate raspberry flavor is your perfect mid-day pick-me-up.
