    Beautifully decorated cosy little place close to the seafront in Stone Town! This was a spontaneous visit which I'm so glad I made. Definitely designed to be photographed, but the gelato here is exceptional. Rich flavours, smooth texture, wonderful. They play nice music too. The staff are friendly, overall lovely atmosphere. Put this on your to-do list!

    So many tastes of ice cream. It is easy to find here because it’s located in the entrance of Shangani Street in Stonetown.

    Delicious gelato! Better than many in Italy. Not the biggest range of flavours, but the quality of the flavours were excellent. Nutella-coconut blend was the favourite. Coffee was a close second. The sorbets were great too. Passion and Pineapple for the win!

    Cute little ice-cream 🍦 parlor with a grab n’ go filtered coffee ☕️ section on the side. Not sure how italian the ice-cream is. Had the stracciatella and cookies flavors: 3.5 stars to be honest. My colleague had nothing special to say about it either, but that’s not to say it wasn’t good. Just not mind-blowing. Biggest plus for me was the location. Super convenient on a warm day/night or during a walk after a meal at one of the adjacent restaurants.

    We didn’t expect there would be so amazing gelato in Zanzibar. The tropical flavor is sooooo good! The cannoli is very yummy!

    Excellent ice cream, nice and cosy place, open during ramadan. Coffee is from bags, but still very good, a double espresso 4000TSh.

  • 5/5 Tessie W. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s great that they’re available in almost all corners of Zanzibar. Best way to cool down in the sun, Stracciatella was my best.

    Cute spot close to the beach. Decent amount of flavors and you can sample for free. They have limited seating inside but it is air conditioned so that helps. The Gelato isn't traditional but still tasted good. Be warned it does melt fast. I got the stracciatella and it was okay. One scoop and cone was 4000 TZS

  • 5/5 Jauzes 1 year ago on Google
    Impressed by the flavour of the Passion fruit and lime. However in terms of texture, may be a tad on the icy side instead of usual sticky gelato

  • 4/5 Sean R. 1 year ago on Google
    They are very convenient from the Hotel Maru Maru, Freddie Mercury Museum, and other parts of Stone Town. They also have a nice variety of gelato flavors and other desserts! Great place to satisfy your sweet cravings!

    I had passion fruit here and this was really tasty. This place is the best gelato place in town.

  • 5/5 Charlotte r. 3 years ago on Google
    You can eat the most delicious ice cream in Zanzibar! Compared to famous Italian gelato shops, it's no better! Tiramisu is also delicious, so be sure to try it.

  • 4/5 Anthea H. 1 year ago on Google
    Popular gelato place in Stone Town. Close to the beach and Old Fort. Worth a visit once and explore the other good alternatives around Stone Town.

  • 5/5 Mitch S. 1 year ago on Google
    Yummy ice cream with really nice variety in flavors. The ice cream cookie sandwich was super delicious! The staff are also very nice

  • 4/5 Christopher K. 1 year ago on Google
    The ice cream is really good, but the prices are a shock at first - rather European prices, so be prepared to leave a little more money here than when buying from a street vendor.
