Ice Cream Time!
Being the tourist hotspot that it is, it’s absolutely essential that York is abundant in ice cream parlours; luckily it is! The range stems between pop-up stores in ideal locations, to traditional businesses that have resonated through the community for some time!
The best place to start is of course La Cremeria. a decadent little parlour on Goodramgate which produces the most excellent Italian style Gelato this side of Rome. Their homemade ice cream has only received sterling reviews, the perfect cure to a hot summers day! In terms of food, La Cremeria is in fact rather eclectic! This decadent establishment also caters to those fancying a savoury meal, as well as providing their own unique blend of coffees.
Located on Bootham sits Dough, an independent coffee house which reveals its true colours when summer arises via their special array of gelato and sorbet flavours! Particular examples include kiwi and Amalfi Lemon. The possibilities are endless it seems! The products that can accompany their infamous gelato are second to none. Nothing can pair up with a sorbet like an ice cold San Pellegrino (we recommend the blood orange flavour)!
A blog on ice cream cannot be completed without mentioning the Luxury Ice Cream Company (LICC)! For a parlour that has only been open for approximately six years, the ability to master over 150 flavours is extraordinary. Some of these wacky flavours include peanut butter and jelly and blackcurrant! LICC has also divulged into implementing ice cream into other zones, such as wedding cakes!
These are just a minor selection on a broad range of top ice cream parlours! We hope you manage to get yourselves down to one of these fine establishments. be sure to report back!
