Googled looking for ice-cream, tuned up and found a queue for ice cream on a blustery day, it must be good. We waited around 5 mins to get to the front of the queue moves quickly and once inside the staff are friendly and efficient There was plenty of choice of flavours and extremely reasonable. Sadly there are no dietary options as the risk of cross contamination is too high. Vegan, dairy free and gluten free options are available however would be unsuitable for allergies or intolerances. It's near on impossible to stop cross contamination in an ice cream parlour. Four stars as the ice cream is good. Super reasonable and the staff were nice, as the bulk of my reviews are for gluten and dairy free a star had to be dropped and reports from the 4 ice cream eaters in my family have stated perfectly nice but not 5 stars Worth a visit, probably the best ice cream in Hastings as it's made on site. Super cute you can see the kitchen. And it's all made on site. prepare for a short wait, it moves fast and is worth it. There are various shops advertising vegan options and gluten advertised at many shops in Hastings, thinking about it there is no way that they would be able to overcome the cross contamination issues and as all the cafes had the same flavours and signs I would guess they are all factory made. This could totally be a rare 5 stars if they had a separate singular flavour (I would take anything and pay a premium) that was free from dairy and gluten, and no risk of cross contamination from gluten containing cones. The kitchen so so clean that the risk of cross contamination from preparation, even though handling gluten and dairy containing ingredients is so low that customers could make the choice for themselves when looking in!

Great quality ice cream. Paid 4.60 for two scoops in a waffle cone. It's was huge and easy to cross over the road and sit on the beach with or could have sat inside. Don't wasn't your money on Mr Whippy and a tired flake.

There was a good variety of excellent quality gelato and options for different cones or tubs. We had been recommended to try here and we weren’t disappointed. Looking across the road to the sea (there were seats inside and out) on a sunny day was an enjoyable experience.

Hands down the BEST ice cream in Hastings and quite possibly the UK. All lovingly made fresh on sight, you may even see the genius himself hard at work creating delicious new flavours for you. My favourite flavours are always the nutty ones - Pistachio, Salty Peanut and more. But you really cannot go wrong. (They will allow you a taster or two if you are really struggling to make a choice) Having lived in Hastings my entire life, I remember when they first opened years ago, I highly recommend this spot to any and all visitors of the area, you will dream about this delicious ice cream. I often visit on a cold rainy day, because really there are no rules when it comes to enjoying ice cream by the seaside. Watch out for the gulls if you are going to walk with your cone 🍦

My husband and I visited here on the 10th October 2023 while holidaying in the area. I noticed the amazing crochet ice creams on the desk which a staff member apparently makes as a hobby and sells... I couldn't leave without two little Halloween specials! The manager/owner happened to be in the shop during our visit and he's of Italian origin, it was lovely to chat a little about his journey to being in Hastings and how he came about being in the gelato business. I asked what he'd recommend and he recommended salty peanut and the mint; both the best varieties of said flavours I've ever had! So very good. He recommended an affogato to my husband which he thoroughly enjoyed! Very bright, bubbly, and friendly personalities which endeared us to this venue so much we just cannot wait to come back and say hello!

We always pop in here when we visit Hastings. Even though we weren't hungry we had to have an ice cream so we went for 1 scoop of salted peanut in a tub which tasted similar to Snickers. The quality is amazing and one scoop was plenty for us to share.

We had a family trip to Hastings on Easter Saturday. The main course was fish and chips at Maggies which was followed by a stroll to Di Pola’s for dessert and coffee. As expected there was a long queue but as always it was worth the wait. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine.

We opted both opted to try new things and were not disappointed! Very decently priced, and we would be delighted to return.

It's impossible to rate Di Pola's as highly as it deserves. To be able to serve Italian style gelato in so many great flavours, just as they do in Italy, is a huge achievement in itself. But to top that, they make it all themselves! It's a huge Hastings highlight. Go NOW! My current favourite - Lotus Biscoff flavour - mmmmmm!

A good choice of Gelato flavours, with some crowd pleasing favourites and more innovative options. Lighter than British ice creams, and typically more authentic and natural in their flavour, Gelato is becoming more available - though Di Pola's is the best in Hastings. Cakes and coffee are also available in this modern take on a classic Italian Gelateria.

We visited this place on 4th Sept. The staff serving and the Ice cream seemed nice but we were charged for 5 ice creams when we only bought 4. I mentioned the overcharging to a member of staff and she said she would look into it for me. once we finished our ice creams I again asked if she had been able to rectify the overcharging. She was then extremely rude and said that she was now on a cigarette break and I would have to wait. I was shocked at her arrogance and poor attitude. I would not recommend this place and looking at other reviews it appears that i am not the first to receive poor service.

It's very hard to nail artisanal ice-cream but Di Pola manages to do it: chilled at the right temperature, it melts very slowly but it's also not icy and remains very smooth throughout. Recommended!

Read great reviews, but on finding and entering shop there was no welcome, asked if they had pistachio. "No" was the answer, the girl serving didn't manage to say anything else to us apart from the price. Don't touch the vegan coconut ice cream it was awful! Salted peanut ok, nothing special. Surprised at reviews and particularly the girls customer service. The chap was friendly. Bad day?

Have visited before on a few occasions and the ice cream is nice. On this visit I was surprised that no contact details were taken for the purposes of track and trace Covid 19 when eating in. As I am nervous about eating out whilst this virus is still in general circulation I feel this isn't in the interest of customers but so that Di Pola are not inconvenienced. I know it is not compulsory and only a guideline but I will not return in a hurry!

I had a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of coconut but there were about 20 flavours available. They are operating a one person/family at a time in the shop rule a one way system to help with social distancing. Definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area.
