Best Gelato in London Colney

"Chin Chin Ice Cream was lauded as Europe's first liquid nitrogen ice cream parlour when it opened up in 2010 and it hasn’t taken long for that style to get a foothold in the favour of the general populace. Chin Chin now boasts multiple outlets across London where the clever clogs behind the counter are hand-churning enticing ice cream flavours like tonka bean and burnt butter caramel with liquid nitrogen. Adding liquid nitrogen means that the fat and water particles in the ice cream remain small and tightly knitted together during the freezing operation, resulting in intensely creamy ice cream."

"A zany premium parlour all about indulgence to the highest degree, Chin Chin Labs is home to liquid nitrogen ice cream. While this might sound like a worn gimmick, Chin Chin Labs were among the first to this trend - a method of freezing the ice cream’s custard base instantly to make for a smoother and more flavourful result. Offering trusty flavours like burnt butter caramel and mango lassi, for those feeling extra indulgent their brownie cookie sundae will more than satisfy a sweet tooth."

"London’s first ice cream parlour made using liquid nitrogen, Chin Chin Labs is best known for their bold flavours, big scoops and scientific methods. The team wanted to create something which hadn’t been explored before and it’s certainly done the trick because they now boast three outposts in London. Designed as a grab-and-go pit stop, their ice creams are great for scoring a ‘gram worthy image and fuelling you on your Sunday stroll around the city."

"If you know, you know – and a lot of south Londoners know about Milk. Balham’s neighbourhood brunch hero has built up a cult following over the years, with the resulting queues resulting in its diminutive, rustic quarters needing to spill out onto al fresco tables. Go green with the Gaia, which tops toast with avocado and bay carrot puree, along with pickled courgettes and pumpkin seed pesto, or get the full morning-after treatment with the Convict muffin, which comes topped with a Gloucester Old Spot pork patty, bacon, egg, Lincolnshire poacher cheese and “hangover sauce”."

"Milk Train shot to fame when it pioneered cloud cones in London - you know the ones, where the ice cream is haloed with candyfloss. Mike and Kylie started out selling shaved Japanese ice and progressed on to these Insta feed delights - they're the millennial pink unicorns of London's ice-cream scene. Oh, and what no-one tells you is they're impossible to eat without getting sticky up to your elbows."

"If you’re looking for cool dessert places in London, this is a great option. Milk Train Cafe’s soft serve ice cream comes on its very own cloud of candy floss!. Pick your flavour then add your toppings before being presented with an enormous sugar fix."

"Gelupo’s mission is to deliver the finest ice cream this side of the Alps to appreciative Londoners. Unusually for a gelateria, however, the selection of sorbets is as extensive as their ice cream menu – and includes special summer flavours such as Hendricks and cucumber. We love their apricot and strawberry and pink pepper sorbets, and the fact that their chocolate gelato is a sorbet, not because they wanted to make a low fat ice cream, but because as a sorbet it can be made even more chocolatey – we wholeheartedly approve!"

"Located opposite Jacob Kenedy’s lauded Bocca Di Lupo, Gelupo is an Italian gelateria that’s been helping make life in central London a little bit sweeter for over 10 years now. Gelupo’s ricotta sour cherry gelato isn’t just one of the best desserts in Soho: it’s an institution. Every classic scoop from Gelupo is a buttery, slightly nutty joy with their seasonal specials always delivering the goods."

"Gelupo – Gelupo is as italian as it can get in central london. The excellent gelatos and sorbets are kept fresh in a deep counter"

"La Gelatiera make traditional artisan gelato according to their Slow Food philosophy, so all their gelato is egg and gluten free, and lower in fat than most ice creams you’d find in the supermarket. So you can eat more of it, right?. Their East Village store even has its own gelato-making lab so you can watch a fresh batch of ice cream being made whilst you scoff yours down."

"Address: 17 Topsfield Rd, Crouch End, London N8 8PP and 27 New Row, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4LA and 1 West Park Walk, East Village, London E20 1DH. The multi-award winning artisan gelato shop is not to be missed. It combines carefully chosen ingredients, craftmanship and creativity with great success - and to ensure freshness with gelato is made in small batches each day."

"A post shared by La Gelatiera - Artisan Gelato (@lagelatiera) on Mar 10, 2017 at 11:28am PST. Creative flavours, such as tongue-tingling chili and basil, have won La Gelatiera an impressive list of foodie awards. Its name refers to the gelato churn used in Italy, and reflects the spot’s dedication to handmade treats."

"Restaurants Bakeries Soho. Crosstown’s delightfully chewy sourdough doughnuts are handmade, fresh every day. Classic flavours such as chocolate truffle are presented alongside more creative additions, like rhubarb, raspberry and ginger – and a vegan’s delight: there are dairy-free offerings that have been perfected (so much so that Crosstown actually have a completely vegan shop in Marylebone)."

"What: Sourdough doughnuts are a thing, and a thing of beauty as Crosstown have proven time and time again. These pillowy piles of perfection have gained cult status among doughnut lovers (the majority of us, we think) and are available on same day delivery. Try and find a fault in any of that."

"The Lowdown: The Parlour at Fortnum and Mason is guaranteed to impress anyone – the perfect place for a fun and delicious outing. Expect a build-your-own sundaes bar, where visitors are treated to a menu detailing every way to eat ice cream, including a gin and tonic float. For a sweet treat, cosy up with a Parlour Hot Chocolate – with the choice of milk, dark or white, you can make it merry with Thunder Toffee Vodka, Butterscotch Schnapps or Grand Marnier, all topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings."

"For those wanting a fancy ice cream experience, you probably can’t do any better than The Parlour at Fortnum & Mason. The Parlour offers a range of decadent ice creams based on retro British faves like the knickerbocker glory and the banana split. And for those who want to push the boat out even further, there’s even the ‘Afternoon Tea in Ice Cream Form,’ which is exactly what it says on the tin."

"Treat yourself at high-end ice-cream spot, The Parlour at Fortnum & Mason. As well as a selection of new and innovative ice creams, including an afternoon tea-inspired sundae, this luxurious London eatery also offers artisanal coffee, hot chocolate and savoury snacks."

"You can’t get more traditional than Venchi who have 140 years of gelato-making experience under their belts. They have five stores across London, but with a gelato lab and a running chocolate tap, their Covent Garden shop is the one to head to."

"Venchi – Venchi started life as a chocolatier and it is now also an exceptional gelato producer. So it is no surprise that sitting in"

"A post shared by Mario (@_________mario_________) on Jan 22, 2018 at 9:44am PST. Head to Leicester Square for a night to remember at the historic Hippodrome Casino. Punters have been entertained on this site for more than 100 years, and with a 180-seat theatre hosting the best of jazz, swing, soul, burlesque and cabaret, there are plenty of years of entertainment to come."

"If you want a casino that is centrally located but doesn’t have quite to draw that the Casino at the Empire offers then you might want to consider the Hippodrome Casino. It’s also in Leicester Square and opened its doors for the first time in 2012. That means that it’s quire modern in style, as well as being one of the country’s biggest in terms of square footage."

"The London Hippodrome has been a centre of London entertainment since 1900. It was originally a music hall, which put a young Charlie Chaplin on stage for its debut show. It then became a nightclub named The Talk of the Town, which saw a roll call of big names grace its stage, from Frank Sinatra to Ella Fitzgerald."

"Italian-originating Said is the London offshoot of Rome’s oldest chocolate shop, but the gravity of such status doesn’t stop it from getting a little silly. Hot chocolate here transcends warm beverage to full-blown dessert – rich, thick, molten chocolate is spooned into cups so generously it often overflows. Cakes can be ordered here too, with the option of adding a dutiful drenching of hot milk, dark or white chocolate sauce."

"Located a stone’s throw away from the home of football, you can sit in or take out at what is now the world’s largest fast food chain. There’s five different types of bread, any number of different fillings, be it Italian meat, tuna, chicken tikka, steak or meatballs. Then there’s the salad, complete with jalapenos and olives, and the sauce."

"Not content with doing the food at new Dalston aparthotel Kingsland Locke, the Le Bab team has also opened a second East London spot. The new Old Street joint is a late-night kebab shop that’s open until 5am – take that curfew!. The 20-cover restaurant features hot pink leather stools, a graffitied ceiling and stainless steel counter where you can watch the chefs at work, and there’s be a big focus on sustainabilty with zero plastic, zero waste and 100% compostable packaging used on site."

"Le Bab have opened a new restaurant in Shoreditch - but this time they're going for a pint-sized classic kebab shop vibe. It'll be open late night too - if you fancy a kebab at 5am."

"Chu Chin Chow has been quietly delivering one of London’s finest fried chicken dishes to those in the area since 2005. Every last piece of the Malaysian Fried Chicken (MFC) is a flavour bundle of succulent meat embedded in shattering layers of chicken skin interwoven with caramelised aromats. Chicken take away for very lucky locals."
