Cafe Gelato in Norwich

Always a great selection of the best gelato I have ever had so good we do 110 mile round trip to eat it , then take some home.

I had a delicious gelato there. We have tried almost all flavours because it is so good!😅 There are so many flavours and the gelato is the best I have ever had! Go there it is absolutely amazing! 🤩

Pistachio ice cream is my love. I have never eat better than this café!

Creamy ice cream Excellent and varied assortment

Amazing gelato Italiano!! Best ice cream. Very taste.

Amazing place, would recommend, unless you really want ice cream, I think the 4 flavours will be even too much for it

Beautiful gelato! Wonderful selection of flavours from vanilla to dark chocolate, cherry to mango sorbet.

We’ve been several times when visiting Norwich, the gelato is really as though you were sitting in Italy. Wide choice of flavours and a favourite of ours

love it. defo recommended.. pistachio, mulled wine, fig are my top 3 flavours

I have lost count of the number of times I have been here. I try a new flavour every time, and there are always new and seasonal options. Staff are friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Don't be put off by the queue, it's worth the wait.

For years I struggled to take my daughter shopping. At the mention of shopping she would disappear into thin air, which can be difficult when you need to shop for school uniform or shoes. Then we found Cafè Gelato. Ta-da! At the mention of it, she transforms herself into the most enthusiastic shopper on Earth , providing we make a Gelato stop as part of the shopping experience. You might call it bribery, I call it magic. There is such a wide range of flavours, all either sourced locally or imported directly from the best regions in Italy (eg: Sicilian lemon), that you are truly spoilt for choice. The flavours are intense, the prices reasonable and if you fancy a coffee, Cafè Gelato is perfect for that too. Best dessert place for miles.

Wonderful memories of my study abroad

This is proper ice cream (well gelato). This is a must visit in Norwich if you want a real taste of Italy, or just want an ice cream. So many tasty flavours to choose from, authentic and traditional.

One of the best ice creams eaten

Best Gelato in the UK, falvorsome, good selection of flavours but not too many to dilute sensible price and good size portions

Caffe Gelato reminds me of my favourite ice cream in Rome. The pistachio was outstanding, as was the Norfolk strawberry.

The highlight of my granddaughters visit to Norfolk was a treat we had here. The gelato is dreamy, the flavours are too many to choose from but she had a refreshing Sicilian Lemon & sharp Raspberry cone. I had hazelnut and pistachio. A pure delight.

The best gelato in the city and the sorbet is also the best.

This place is well worth seeking out. The gelato is superb – as good as any we’ve ever had in Italy or Sicily. We’ll make sure we visit again the next time we’re in Norwich. Highly recommended.

Then quality has gone downhill. Honestly the milk/ingredients taste and smell spoilt. I felt so sick after eating here. Was vomiting non stop.

I used to frequent this store a lot and even recommended it to friends as well at work as well. However, the heavy set lady that works there is not only extremely rude.

This has been our go to since it opened and every time it has been exceptionally tasty, be prepared to queue as everyone wants a taste of Cafe Gelato. Ordered an oat Cappuccino with an icecrean in a cup / another in a cone. Couldn't make our minds up so went for both hot and cold. Amazing Cappuccino :) Top people. Grazie Mille 🍦☕️

AMAZING! For one scoop, I hit a lot of icecream! The peach flavour tastes like the actual fruit 10/10 worth the money

Beautiful ice cream. So smooth and creamy. It's amongst the best ice cream I've ever had anywhere. Tried the orange and almond flavour which was fabulous. Wish I lived near Norwich so I could visit often and try more flavours.

Lovely freshly made ice cream. A touch of Milano in Norwich

Best Gelato/ Ice Cream in Norwich

Best gelato outside Italy! And a few inside. I have been to Italy on a few occasions now. And love to try the gelato's. Cafe Gelato has a wonderful array of flavours and great sorbets. It is run by an Italian family who really know there craft.

A queue outside tells you that this is something good. We spoke to a local in line who assured us we were in for a treat. I tried the pistachio which they particularly endorse based on their recipe and i can vouch - it was delicious. So creamy but so strong with the wonderful taste of pistachio. Paired with cheesecake ice cream. The vegan chocolate , mango and raspberry also really delicious if you are done with dairy like some in my group!

There is a bit of a queue at the entrance but it's worth it. An excellent artisanal ice cream. How to eat it in Italy, congratulations!

Delicious Coffee ice cream. Friendly service

Wow best and most authentic Gelato I've ever had in this country. And some in Italy. This cafe is run by an Italian family and it shows. You can have several flavours in one pot or just go for one it is also served in cones. You can eat in or take away. We'll worth a visit if you are in the city.

You can see the wonderful Café Gelato in the start of the film starring Emma Thompson called "Good luck to you Leo Grande" and it's currently on NETFLIX!!! Sandro & Jenny..... You do a great job. You're both film stars!??? A regular visit for us. Probably, no, definitely the best ice cream in Norwich and really nice people. They do terrific coffee too. Try Afogato... I haven't seen an ingredients list. I'd be interested to see one...... Good toilet too🙂

Always come here to get the best tasting ice cream in Norwich! 👌

Best ice cream outside of Italy! Very good

Best gelato in Norwich!! It is a MUST to visit this place.

Fresh delicious Gelato and incredible coffee. Would recommend.

The BEST gelato I ever had in England, proper Italian ice cream. I was going to take my daughter to Italy for her to try among other things a good ice cream, I’ll bring her here!!!!!

Although I love ice cream/gelato (and think of myself as a bit of an aficionado🙄😆) this was our first visit and we were not disappointed! Between the three of us we had cherry, chocolate and rhubarb. We all agreed that the rhubarb was the best, really ‘rhubarby’ and fresh/natural tasting, inspite of being very uniformly pink in colour and unnatural looking! We don’t mind a bit of colouring! The other flavours were very good too but rhubarb ice cream/gelato is not common and perhaps that’s why it was our favourite. I gather this is a family run shop with the gelato made in the kitchen at the back. There was a steady stream of customers which for a weekday early in April shows they are offered a quality product. A nice clean shop with 5 or 6 tables, some seating 2 and some 3. £2.90 for 1 scoop, £3.90 for 2. Highly recommended!

Bury me in fig and mascarpone ice cream, please ☠️

One of the only places to get good quality hazelnut gelato in UK I've found.

Best gelato ever! We travel to Italy a lot but this gelato is the best we’ve ever had. Try the vegan chocolate sorbet, it’s amazing.

Stumbled across this shop by chance and had the most tantalising ice cream ever. This is a go to place for anyone with an interest in ‘ices various’ and an experience I hope to repeat again and again.

Lovely ice-cream, full of flavour and well served. Definitely recommend 👌.

Popped in twice. Fantastic gelato. Not ice-cream. Oodles better. The tastes are phenomenal. Also reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Best gelato or ice cream in Norfolk. Working my way through the menu and everything is amazing

This is an extremely tasty ice cream shop, Best ice cream I’ve ever tasted in Norwich! The strawberry gelato was smooth and tasted so fresh, would be amazing to have during the summer months on a hot day. Friendly staff and was very busy when I went in but the service was really quick.

Literally the best gelato I've ever tasted! (or ice cream, yes I know not the same thing but it beats all the ice cream I've ever had too!) The Norfolk strawberry and the caramelised fig and mascapone are ridiculously tasty.

The most delicious gelato. I ordered tiramisu and raspberry. The taste was beyond expectation. And it's very cheap

Without exaggeration the best ice cream I have ever eaten

Best strawberry ice cream ever! 🍦

Very tasty ice cream a lot of different flavours our favourite in Norwich! Highly recommended! 👍👌

Very nice ice cream. Mango and coffee are amazing!! 2 balls £3,5 1 ball £2,7 (or close to this)

Came here recently for ice cream, while we still have the good weather! Service was fast, there are plenty of great choices for ice cream and some sorbet options as well. All looked and tasted great, so was worth the price. Very happy with experience overall. Would recommend!

Some of the best gelato I’ve ever tasted! Lovely staff also…. Is definitely worth a visit!

Love the selection of gelato, the service and drinks available.

You cannot fault the gelato, great choice of flavours and taste and everything gelato wise is perfect. The only reason for 4 and not five is the staff do not look happy to serve you, no smiles, all have faces like they are annoyed for you to be there. I think deep down they aren’t like that, but a smile goes a long way, especially when your paying £2.70 for one scoop of gelato.

Best Gelato Ever! Such amazing flavours and well labelled in terms of allergens which is FANTASTIC!

Highly recommend this place, very busy with lots of people queuing. Lot of flavours to choose from and very authentic, high quality gelato. The flavours tasted natural, not artificial at all, and just like the fruit itself. Service was great, welcoming and despite the queues, we were served quickly. I should go back and try more flavours and their coffee as recommended by others.

Amazing authentic Italian ice cream!! 🍦

Try the best gelato in Norwich ! It's simple and full of flavour just how Italians love it ... we are lucky enough to have it in Norwich !

Oh my god this place! Is amazing! It's mouth watering... I mean the best! The gelatos are delicious and my favourites are COFFEE, DARK CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, OREO, PEANUT BUTTER for now! I mean have as many as you want before summer ends..... It's the best treat! 🥰🥰🥰

Amazing gelatos! We come here very year when we’re on holiday. Flavours are amazing, all home made no additives. Can have on a cornet or in a tub, prices very reasonable, staff friendly and helpful. It’s a must visit if you’re in Norwich

The best in town! Delicious! If you desire to have a proper authentic italian ice cream. This is a right place!

Amazing ice creams. So many flavours. Ideal price. so tasty. Staff very welcoming. Will go there again.

A trip to Norwich without Cafe Gelato would be incomplete. Great assortment of truly quality flavors.

Delicious gelato! I had the coconut and pistachio, which I recommend!

Amazing gelato best ever go for the chocolate the cherry date and mascapone

Friendly staff. Clean place, well displayed. Husband had Madagascar vanilla and said it was very tasty. I had orange and almond which was delicious. I'm hard to please with ice cream and this was in my top two ever had!!

Well, if you like ice cream then you need to taste the silky smooth flavours on offer at Cafe Gelato. Rich dark chocolate and powerful pistachio are great but a true winner for me is the caramelised fig and mascarpone. I need to go back to try the others for a fair comparison

I feel like I am in Italy. Best ice-cream ever I ate in the UK and the coffee is proper Italian. Highly recommended!

I come here every chance I get.  There's always a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, regardless of whether it's just me in the café or there's a queue of 20+ people outside the door.  The gelato is second-to-none and available in individual servings (a cone or a tub, available with 1 to 4 scoops/flavours) to eat straight away or a "brick" to take home, which is available in 2 sizes.  There are so many flavours all made by the family that run this little gem, and I've yet to try one that I don't love.  From fruity sorbets (and a dark choc sorbet that is just 🤌🏻❤) to dessert-flavoured gelato (the tiramisu is a taste of heaven) and everything from the classic to the inventive, there really is something for everyone.  The flavours change throughout the year too, so you don't have a chance to get bored of having the same thing (not that you can!) - they do some delicious Holiday Season flavours that make for a nice, rich-yet-light alternative to Christmas Pudding.  The café also sells soft drinks, tea, hot chocolate and the best coffee in the city!  This isn't regular coffee, this is Italian coffee - it's smooth and has a rich flavour without any bitterness.  Being quite the coffee fiend, I've tried a lot of coffee shops, both independent and chain, and I make espresso at home.  The only place I have coffee without sugar is Café Gelato - you just don't need any.  To go with your coffee or other drink, the café often has a small selection of handmade cakes, biscuits and pastry treats such as cannolis that are also worth a try if they've not all been snapped up. The coffee isn't only better than elsewhere, it's competitively priced.  The gelato is ever-so-slightly more expensive than the café's competitors, but it's infinitely superior in every way and the servings are a decent size.  The café itself is immaculately clean.  And the family that runs this business are lovely people - they never rush you, they chat a little when they have time and they always have smiles on their faces.  As I said, I come here whenever I can, whether I'm with friends, family, on a date or just out for a wander by myself and fancy a treat.  Next time you're nearby I suggest you treat yourself too, and pop in for gelato and a Cappuccino Italiano!

A very nice ice cream parlour with lots of varieties and great taste. Love it.

Such quality product .raspberry to die for ,friend had coconut her favourite 😍

Cafe Gelato is located at 6 Opie St, Norwich NR1 3DN. There are different ice cream that the tastes are really fantastic. You may actually have the same feeling of tasting real fruits. The favorite choices include Pistachio, Beach, Nutella, Hazelnut... etc. You will never forget the excellent tastes and wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Easily the best gelato in Norwich. A much more authentic Italian selection than everywhere else. The best!

This is one of the best Italian ice-cream in the entire country! One of the very few places where quality is excellent and prices are honest! A must go.

Best gelato in Norwich. Very authentic and great selection of flavours which change frequently. Dark chocolate flavour is always sublime!

Quality ice cream , first tried their ice cream at my daughters wedding , she had a van and picked 6 flavours for guests to eat , I had a tub of all 6 flavours , since then I pop in and get a double cornet while waiting for the bus , gradually going through all flavours , haven't found one I don't like , and don't expect I will 🤷‍♂️ . Always good service and can get very busy 👍👍👍

Hands down best gelato in Norwich. Nuff said.

Can't rate this place highly enough, absolutely incredibly icecream, I had white chocolate and vanilla ice cream and my partner had mango and peach scoops and they were all incredible, dont let the small pots on the counter fool you, there portions are more than generous more icecream was mounting outside the pot than inside!!! First time I went to this place today and I'm definitely going back, especially in this heat wave ❤️

Do not go anywhere else, do not let the ques bother you. This is it when it comes to Gelato or any cream that's iced...

Clean, tidy 20 flavours, 4 between us, mascarpone and caramelized fig our favourite. We hope to come back. Up a steep hill, but, worth the effort

All you would expect and love of a proper Italian ice cream, well done guys!

Exceptional gelato. Don’t leave Norwich without tasting

I wouldn't expect to find gelato this good in Norwich but well, here it is.

Amazing. The pistachio is my favourite

The large queue outside spoke for itself! Exceptionally fast and efficient service. Really friendly and authentic. Absolutely loads of choice and reasonable prices. I had chocolate and biscof flavours and it was delicious. A few seats inside which was useful after a day walking around the city. Toilets inside were also clean and modern. Very happy and not a surprise that there was a long queue as it was certainly worth the short wait.

Italian flare, style and panache transplanted to good old Norwich 🧁🍦🍧🍨

On my visit to Norwich I had ice-cream here. Dark chocolate sorbet, unusual but very delicious. Coffee is good too. I would definitely recommend this place.

Never been in here, that said the queues are long and it is very popular, the fun bit comes when they shut, the music is loud and they all sing and have fun. 3 stars is due to Never tasting their Geleto as I park outside to pick up my wife from work. Had such a lovely day thought to try the Gelato, unable to comment on the tiramasu as they sold out, the cherry 🍒 was a true delight! Wife had the salted caramel and gave it a thumbs up !

the flavours were all really delicious. service was good and prices were not too expensive. we did have to queue for a few minutes, but the staff was really efficient.

It's like in Italy! Reasonable prices too...

Best Gelato ever. Must visit in Norwich. Flavours taste very authentic. It is run by a lovely Italian family. Very popular - the queues are often out of the door and down the street. We regularly visit and will continue to support!

The very best vegan sorbet and traditional gelato freshly made with local ingredients. Delicious coffee. It’s like having a little holiday in Italy! Adds to the joy of living in Norwich.

If you are looking for proper Italian gelato this is the place to go! They make their own ice cream and use only the best ingredients. They even sell big tubs like in Italy too, you can choose 3 or 4 different flavours depending on how much you want to spend, I find it's totally worth it. Small place, and usually very busy especially during the warmer months. Totally worth the wait though 😋

Best espresso and gelato I've had while in the UK. A truly welcoming and nice cafe. Recommend it wholeheartedly!
