Top ice cream places in Cape Town
The Creamery
With trusty favourites like Peanut Butter, Rosetta Roastery Coffee, Sea Salt Caramel, Sweet Cream, and 65% Chocolate you’ll always find creamy greatness at one of the Creamery branches in Cape Town. Every month they have a new flavour to try, and try you must! Each branch also has an ice-cream covered treat on offer, like warm waffles in Newlands or freshly baked cookies in Mouille Point. They’re also at popular markets like the V&A Waterfront’s Food Market and the Earth Fair Markets in the CBD on Thursdays, so you have a good excuse to try every flavour.

Moro Gelato
If there is one nation who knows how to do things with flair, it’s the Italians. One taste of this Gelato will make you feel like you’re being serenaded by an Italian with your feet in the Trevi Fountain. Their Gelato is freshly made with local produce and spices and their vegan-friendly sorbet might bring tears of joy to your eyes. Their pastel-coloured parlour on Long Street is Wes Anderson perfection and they’re open till late. Plus they have chocolate fountains with dark and white chocolate pouring like a waterfall as you’re reading this. They’re also have a shop in Sea Point and they’re at the Oranjezicht City Farm Market at the V&A Waterfront on Saturdays.

De Villiers Chocolate
There are at least a hundred reasons you should visit the idyllic Franschhoek Valley, one of the top ten being the delicious ice cream at De Villiers Chocolate. This bean to bar chocolate company focuses on ethically and sustainably sourced products used to make the most incredible truffles, confectionery, chocolate thins, bars and of course, ice cream. They have 15 flavours of ice cream and sorbet to choose from and their own gluten-free cones made fresh daily. Their café also offers chocolate and ice cream tasting so you can really taste why there is no place quite like De Villiers Chocolate anywhere else in the world. Once you’ve tried the ice cream, take a chocolate salami, dark chocolate pizza, or bag of spiced drinking chocolate beans home with you to spread the love.

The Dairy Den
Sea Point’s sweet spot offers delicious soft serves in black Oreo cones that will make you feel like a kid again. Approach with caution though, because once you are there you will most definitely have to try one of their gourmet doughnuts too. The unicorn swirl with its sprinkles and pop of colour comes highly recommended. Their pink Instagram-friendly store on Main Road is just a few minutes away from the promenade. They recently opened a branch in Kenilworth Centre in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs.

Las Paletas
When you think of ice cream you might not necessarily think of ice lollies, but Las Paletas’ artisanal lollies are sure to change that.
