Mariana RMJuly 24, 2018Amazing ice-cream. So creamy and tasty. The salty caramel with pecan is my best favourite. Have it in a cone. The waffle is delicious
Chris PhillipsMarch 18, 2017Expensive, but superb quality artisan ice cream / gelato. Also worth looking at the selection of Italian deli items and books from parent restaurant Bocca di Lupo.
Siew Kwan NgJanuary 19, 2015The affogato was sooo amazing especially with salted caramel and pecan gelato. Their dark bitter choc drink was even better than the famous hot chocolate in Paris's Angelina cafe. I'm def coming back!
Jade TokarczykFebruary 12, 2015The pistachio gelato is deliciously nutty and the velvety bitter chocolate is perfect for those with a slightly less sweet tooth. On the expensive side but worth a try or a special treat
Simply the best gelato in London, in fact the best I've had outside of Italy. Also open late and you'll always find a queue even in winter. Often have seasonal flavours. Sorbets are delicious too.
Joyce IpAugust 23, 2016Always my favourite ice cream place to go to in London- their bitter chocolate and pistachio are my top 2! Must have if you're a dark chocolate fan
The menu changes regularly; but the ice cream is always delicious. Easter Sunday called got some Hot Cross Bun ice cream — delicious!!
Perfect gelato, but highly recommend trying a hot chocolate! Delicious in itself but made even more luxurious with a scoop of gelato in it 👌🏼
You know it's legit because they keep their gelato out of the light. You can't go wrong with any flavour but their blood orange is particularly delicious, as is their bitter chocolate.
Cam_in_BrisAugust 2, 2018Crazy lines, but with good reason. Lively, delicious, inventive flavours. Sour cherry choc chip and tropical Eton mess both fabulous.
MissyFebruary 3, 2016Delicious ice cream! Love the ricotta and cherry and the fresh mint. Nice to chill with a coffee or indulge in a treat.
Jack GillettSeptember 3, 2014Keep an eye on the specials. Worth going to try some of the inventive flavours they have on a regular basis. Who knew ricotta and black flavour could make a delicious ice cream ?
LondonistJuly 17, 2013One of our favourite ice cream places. The bitter chocolate is perfect for chocoholics and the watermelon can't be beaten for refreshment.
Gül M.August 18, 2013The most delightful ice-creams in London. No matter how full we're, we had yummy ice-creams every day during our trip in London. ;)
Merve ErkurtJuly 7, 2013Mexican chocolate was a big trouble for me, it is very chilli!! There are very different combinations, you can try but if you want to eat the best one, please go to Florence, Italy:)
FMDMarch 8, 2015Highly recommend both the the coconut and blood orange sorbet. So delicious and light. The coconut tastes like melted marshmellows 😍👼☁️🌰🍊
Eleanna BrezaSeptember 3, 2016This really must be the best place for ice cream in London. Everything we tried was very good. The bitter chocolate is for hardcore chocolate fans!
Oh gelato. Hidden unsuspectingly in 'the street behind Great Windmill' is the ice cream parlour, sister to Bocca di Lupo opposite. Delicious sweet stuff, flavoursome in generous, creamy proportions.
You don't need to decide between the delicious home made gelato or the rich Ozone Roasters coffee: get the affogato. And if you're feeling adventurous, get it with mint ice cream.
Ierax HolargeusJanuary 20, 2022Nope, this isn’t just another “best gelato in London”. This is actually it and by far. The force is exceptionally strong in their pistachio, tiramisu, salted caramel, bacio and montebianco flavours.
Joyce ChiaJuly 28, 2013They served interesting flavours that will excites your taste bud especially if you've only tried the usual flavours from traditional gelato shops. Try it and you will know what I mean.
J DruniOctober 10, 2016Huge contrast between some delicious flavors (pistacchio, bitter chocolate) and others that have no true taste at all (fig leaves, pumpkin + cinnamon).- Lele BuonerbaAugust 7, 2014Absolutely fantastic, authentic Italian ice cream. Usually quite crowded but the gelato is worth queuing for. Best ice cream in Central London.
Bonnie WongJuly 2, 2016Rainy day or not rainy day(hint), still the place to go for honeycomb ice-cream🍯🍦
Oskari KeranenApril 4, 2014The Best tasting gelato&granita, fresh and tasty cuz of the high quality incredients they use, perfect for getting something cool on a hot day!
Square MealMarch 12, 2015Some say that Gelupo spoons out the finest gelati in London, & we’re not arguing. Mostly milk, with pure, natural flavour added – Sicilian pistachios, hazelnuts from Piedmont, intense Alphonso mango. Read more
Lewis TJuly 15, 2018Gorgeous creamy Gelato. Get in line...which is inside rather than on the street!
If I had to choose a single place in London to keep going and going and never get tired, that would be Gelupo. Amazing gelato, amazing food, friendly and attentive staff... This place is a gem.
Gagan SinghJune 25, 2016Try the flavors first. They do run out and there is a long line. It is one of the best gelato's in London.
Abdullah OJuly 17, 2017The best Ice cream you can enjoy in London. One flavor costs £3 and you add £1 for each extra flavor. pistachio and dark chocolate wins.
Orestis TsapogasFebruary 13, 2017Bitter chocolate, or maybe milk chocolate infused with vanilla. Usually both. Best gelato in the centre
Time Out LondonMarch 28, 2012Gelupo is one of the London’s best-kept secrets – an outstanding ice-cream parlour not even five minutes from Piccadilly Circus. Step inside, and feast your senses. Read more
Alexander PalmerMarch 29, 2015Hazelnut gelato is a squirrel's wet dream. Careful you don't get it in your beard though, pain to get out
Suzi Edwards-AlexanderApril 21, 2014Best, best, best gelato in London. Never had a dud flavour here. Instincts tell me their hazelnut is the best.
Alex BosworthJuly 6, 2019Get the bitter chocolate or mango sticky rice. Get anything that sounds unusual because why get something normal?
RobJuly 21, 2018Blueberry cheesecake gelato is heavenly. Music selection does not hit the same heights.
Betony KellyJanuary 4, 2015Always brilliant and open late. Their seasonal flavours ensure ice cream is a must all year round.
Andrew LeckieJuly 9, 2013Well worth a visit. Fresh Mint Stracciatella & the Salted Caramel are amazing. Never had anything like them anywhere else.
The pistachio and mint chocolate stracciatella are a deadly and effective combination. Must have
Lillian PaschalidiSeptember 26, 201680% cocoa chocolate gelato with chocolate chips served with melted gianduja
Anthony CameronAugust 28, 2017The bitter chocolate was very creamy. The blood orange sorbet was my favourite, very intense taste!
Carlos EgiaJune 28, 2014Great ice cream in Central London. Portions are small but great if you just fancy nice ice cream.
Sally Doris KimMay 26, 2013They make different flavoured ice cream daily. Today I'm going to try the "chocolate and sesame" flavour. Boom times.
jennifer hanJuly 15, 2017so creamy, so dreamy! both the wacky flavors and traditional ones are deliiicious.
Helen EvansDecember 12, 2010The best Gelato in London! Love this place's atmosphere, decor and flavours. All the Christmas gelato's are amazing. Spiced pear and cinnamon and white Christmas! Yum!
Patrick KirkbrideDecember 9, 2016They have very creative flavors. I tried the halva stracciatella and loved it
