Jack's Gelato in Cambridge

Not great icecream it was very icey rather then creamy. Flavours were bland, and didn't taste of much. Large queue but fast service. Friendly and chatty. Wouldn't go again as wasn't impressed with the ice cream.

Gelato is deli, i tried cocunut & vanilla very nice combo. Price is pretty cheap for 2 scoops and its worth it. No parking, no toilets,no sit in arrangements just take away only. No highchairs for children. Good ice cream . You get vegan options

A matcha brownie gelato so good it brought a tear to my eye.

AMAZING!!! The best gelato I’ve ever tried. The variety of interesting flavors keeps you coming back. I will be definitely returning again and again

There was a queue prior to entering the shop making it evident how busy and how popular the shop is. Nevertheless the queue was fast moving, the service was prompt and the ice cream was undoubtedly great! I had Coconut Ube and Honeycomb flavour.

Really great ice cream and good value

I tried the dark chocolate & sea salt flavour in February, and it was brilliant! I still remember its liberating taste! 🍦🫶🏼

Queue moves quickly and cognac cost extra 3 pounds and the cone and gelato were delicious . Vegans options available too

Just excellent. Current favourite is the burnt banana. There is usually a queue and deservedly so.

Really decent ice cream. We attempted to come here last summer, but it was super popular and busy. Treated my boys yesterday to the milk chocolate flavour and I think the fudge one? Really lovely and a great treat!

We visited this lovely Gelato shop recently! He let us try different flavours which is very sweet of him. All the flavours are surprisingly taste good however I think mine is chocochip Stracciatella and I loved it! They create some really nice gelato flavours which my friends really liked it. If you’re a a Gelato lover, this place is great. :)

Massive line for this ice cream but it moves very quickly. They're super efficient. The chocolate covered cone is absolutely delicious and adds in another layer of yummyness. Perfect treat!

A small ice cream shops near to corpus clock. Ice cream itself is great, wait in the line to order:)

It was late on a march evening and this place was buzzing. Young and old had assembled to taste the best ice cream in town. I was with my vegan son and I was impressed by the wide variety of flavours he could eat. I went for milk and cookies which was very tasty indeed.

You should try ice cream in here, it was really delicious

Absolutely iconic gelato place in all of Cambridge, and everyone knows it! Love the daily change of flavours, and the option to “queue skip” where there’s QR codes around, to get your order straight out from the window, if you choose to do that, or just go in person to order your gelato to be greeted by wonderful staff. Definitely recommend coming to try out some gelato!

A good selection of flavours, and not expensive for such a good location. I had the roasted banana one, very nice.

Stopped in for an ice-cream treat after a long day out in Cambridge. We ordered via the QR code and our order was served at the window within 5 minutes. I opted for cherry and chocolate scoops, and the portions were very generous! We sat down to enjoy at a little table, and it was easily the best ice cream I’ve had in a long time. 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful little gem in the heart of Cambridge. I came here for the first time just before Christmas and so I had the dark hot chocolate which was the perfect treat and just delicious - thank you for the recommendation! I had a tub of the fig and manuka honey gelato and it was probably the best gelato I have ever had. Will definitely be coming back here on my next visit.

I may be a bit biased here as I attribute Jack's Gelato to many happy and good things -- but hey, that's a sign of a good establishment right?! I love the variety of flavours here and make sure to order the 'secret flavours' they have and be surprised by how good they are. The lines can be crazy long so best to come with a friend and chat the long line away, or use the QR code by the service window for a queue jump (you'll have to miss trying flavours inside tho!). Go ahead, try Jack's cos let's be real -- your trip to Cambridge is never complete without it.

I will be dreaming of the honeycomb for sometime for sure!

Amazing flavours! Highly recommended

I went on a Monday afternoon and it was fairly busy. I had a scoop of coconut and ube and it was delicious. You can’t really find this flavour anywhere else so I’d recommend it. However, I don’t think it’s as amazing as other comments were saying.

You must eat GELATO when you come to Cambridge🤤 You can ask the store staff to let you try the flavors you are interested in. One of the most popular ones is COCONUT UBE (Purple) Vegan🌱, this one is really good👍The coconut flavor is very rich, WHISKY (White) does not perform as well in comparison Excellent, at least don't think it's worth the extra £3 But both are so dense that they can be drawn! After everyone goes to Eagle Bar to have a cup of DNA BEER, you can come and taste it😎

The mint stracciatella was all sold out, so I ordered plain vanilla. Oddly, it tasted salty. Not much vanilla flavor, either. Only ate a few bites before tossing it. There are lines out the door, though.

Best ice cream in Cambridge, worth eating even in winter in the rain!

Always a fun, interesting flavour on the menu! Creamy, fresh and quick paced, Jack’s is the star of Cambridge!! A must visit, by all means necessary :)) Heads up though, the menu changes every day. But be sure to ask for their secret menu, and to sample the options!

Don't be surprised by the queue; it typically moves quite quickly. The menu changes daily. Ube flavors are a must-try. Don't forget to ask for the secret flavor of the day.

Delicious ice cream with a wide variety of quirky flavours. Very busy with a long queue when we went but it goes down fairly quickly. You can skip queues and order online for a window pick up. Coconut and raspberry ripple is my recommendation.

Obviously the best place in Cambridge

Extremely slow service today 1/2/24. The guy took literally 5 min to put 2 scoops on the cone. There is no price list in the shop. Website indicates 4.5gbp/2 scoops while he automatically charged 6.3gbp. Disappointing.

깊은 풍미와 딸기맛은 상큼했음. 초코콘은 필수. 직원들도 친절하시고 회전율이 빨라서 금방금방 주문할 수 있어서 좋았음.

Lovely hot chocolate! I wish if they had some tables inside.

It's expensive. But I can't stop coming back and this means it must be worth it. The coconut ice cream is superb. I never bother with the odd flavours, but seriously this might well be the best ice cream shop in the.... UK ;)

Best ice cream in town. There are many great flavours to choose from, with honeycomb being my favourite. Very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

Terrible customer service. There was only person working here. However, he was working at such a snails pace that literally everyone in the cue had to wait almost an hour, when really it should not even take that long to literally serve scoops of ice cream to people. The ice cream here is good quality at-least, but it's not worth getting if the customer service here is lousy. I won't be coming back here for a while.

I tried Fenland Celery. It was interesting.

Best gelato in town! My little one just loves it. Festive flavours are amazing.

Really friendly staff. The gelato was divine, but I was also impressed with the array of flavours. Lastly, the cost was on the cheaper side. I was pleasantly surprised.

Coconut was lovely but the treacle cake was horrible. It was large pieces of cake in ice cream. Didn’t go well at all. Only small selection of flavours

Long queue but worth the wait! Delicious Gelato, you can actually taste the flavors, finally some dessert in the Uk that doesn't just taste like sugar.

A must visit place. It taste really good.

Yum! Loved this ice cream place and would recommend to anyone in Cambridge.

it is a very nice gelato shop tried their double pistachio flavour which is amazing, full of pistachio with every single bite

Great vegan options of ice cream! Really nice creamy texture and the owner is very friendly :)

This spot was quite busy but it didn't take long at all for our order and Ice cream to be eaten. Quite a wide variety of choices and staff are very helpful.. An ideal spot for a cheeky dessert post dinner and get the cone with choc dip. Customer service was outstanding and our daughter loved the free cone she got,

Stay in Cambridge for 2 days and have 4 icecream here. Good service, you can always ask to try before you buy, can talk to the staff. This is how gelato should be, natural and velveted.

The best ice cream in Cambridge:)

Mediocre texture compensated by adventurous combinations… That’s how you compete with the more traditional gelatos next doors and become a “must-go” hot spot in Cambridge. Overpriced and touristy as it is, I might still have to invite visitors to try one scoop or half here and move on to the real gelato places. Again, interesting tastes but lacks the richness of proper gelato and the flavoring can be quite artificial. 4: Both sea salt dark chocolate and damson cherry are rather flavorless today. 3rd try: ube coconut & dark chocolate gochujang —- Roast peanut butter was sold out. I was courageous enough to get the maple bacon (after trying). Savory ice cream works! Bacon flavor melted in my mouth, and then the maple came up. Interesting. —— Salted Oreo isn’t really salty. More like ordinary cookie and cream. The honey comb is surprisingly nice. I usually go for more intense dark chocolate or coffee flavors, but this one is actually good enough for me to go for white ones. Much much better than vanilla (which I don’t like). Milky with crispy sweet crystals. Heard miso is also tasty. I’ll be more adventurous next time.

You gotta try this when you come to Cambridge!!

Some of the best gelato I've ever tasted!

Lovely ice cream, if you not sure what flavour you like they will let you sample a little bit until you make your mind up. The Mango sorbet is lovely, wasn’t a fan of the whiskey flavour though. The shop does get very busy, especially in nice weather.

It is the best gelato I had in the UK. I recommend sampling the secret flavour. I had vanilla mascarpone and dulce de leche, both very creamy and delicious.

Overall Jack's is a local favourite. They have very good flavours and experiment a lot with them, not all their inventions are good (e.g. the roses flavour), but overall they are super good

Alphonso mango sorbet - 7.5/10, good Pandan - 10/10, insane Pistachio Cookie Dough - 9/10 Cinammon Biscuit - 8/10 Girton Apple Sorbet - 7/10 Coconut, Cardamom and Passionfruit - 7/10 (too much cardamom, not enough passionfruit) Strawberry and Cream - 7/10 Salted Oreo - 7/10 PBJ - 7/10 Chocolate sea salt - 6/10 Matcha and Pandan - 6/10, pleasant but could not taste the pandan at all. light green tea flavour. Honeycomb - 6/10 Milk and Brownie - 6/10 Salted butter biscuit - 8.5/10

One of the best ice creams I have had and wonderful customer service do try their vanilla

Definitely worth the long queue, Jack’s Gelato has one of a kind gelato flavours with new and creative flavours. Was lucky enough to try the Almond Cake flavour and it was a creamy gelato base with almond cake bits, one word - “sensational”. Two half scoops - Almond Cake, Vegan Chocolate (£3.5)

There's always a queue outside because the ice cream is really good. They keep coming up with creative flavour combinations and somehow it always works

Read the hype about this place so was really excited to try it out. Unfortunately maybe due to said hype it didn't quite live up to reality. Don't get me wrong the gelato was very nice just not as special as I had imagined

Fabulous eclectic flavors of gelato. Arrive early as they can run out. The Mill Road Fig and the Coconut Ube were excellent. They have a great selection of vegan flavors.

Nice ice cream at a reasonable price! There were queues out the door when e arrived, but it didn't take long to get in, and the queues were there for a reason. As previously mentioned, this is good ice cream at a reasonable price in the city centre. I had the peanut butter and jam ice cream, and it was nice, I only got one scoop and to be honest it wasn't a generous one, but I can't complain it was a scoop of nice ice cream.

...ok, so the title is a little harsh. But...if you go in here expecting the best ice cream ever, you will be sorely disappointed...well, if you normally eat Cornettos you might be pleasantly surprised...but if you've been to a decent gelateria in Italy, then you will know that this ice cream is decidedly average. Sorry Jack, but it's true. Anyway, in reality, here is the lowdown on Jack's Gelato:- 1) Great selection of flavours including some super interesting/wacky ones 2) Long queue to get served, like 20 people ahead of us, but the queue does move fairly fast so be patient 3) Ice cream in a cone is not a big portion size 4) Price is fair versus a Mr Whippy down by the river, but not necessarily great value, but I guess you're in central Cambridge 5) The ice cream itself was good all round, and recommended, just not a patch on Rossellini in Marina di Carrara (iykyk)

Heerlijk Italiaans ijs met aparte smaken. Neem een hoorntje gedipt in chocolade en het wordt hemels lekker. Gewoon goed ijs, punt.

A delicious ice cream, we had a chocolate & also a blackcurrant & cream cone, certainly made with the best of ingredients. We purchased it at the Cambridge Folk Festival & will be back again over the weekend! Would definitely recommend having more than one!

The best gelato I have ever tasted. Anywhere. Wonderful taste, perfect texture, and an interesting and exciting selection of flavours that (I believe) changes very regularly. On this - our first - visit, both my wife and I went for a single scoop of milk and chocolate cookies with raspberry. It was a truly outstanding flavour - beautifully balanced, sweet enough but not too sweet, and the perfect pick-me-up for mid-afternoon. I think I could quite happily have consumed it by the gallon tub. I simply cannot recommend this place highly enough: if there were a sixth star, I would e tempted to use it! We will be back as soon as possible to sample the many other flavours on offer.

A must try when visiting Cambridge in the summer or when you're in the area and you're craving for some good gelato. Tried the Sesame and white pistachios which was really nice. Would love to try other flavours next time.

Came here for dessert after a delicious dinner at Giggling Squid. We had already found an online booking system on thir website, so added our orders to the basket beforehand. Just as we approached Jack’s we submitted and paid for the order. This was an incredibly quick and hassle free option – there was a queue outside (is it any surprise?) but we were only waiting for less than 5 minutes. One USP of Jack’s is that they offer two small scoops – approximately the size and price of one normal scoop – which is really good when you want to try 2 different flavours but don’t want 2 large scoops. I had toasted pine nut and stroopwafel. Both were incredibly smooth and very full in flavour. The pine nut worked very well on its own and with the caramelly stroopwafel. This is gelato as it should be!

Well worth standing in queue. Lovely flavours. Vegan options as well. The chocolate cookie was amazing!

A must visit for Cambridge. ❤ Really tasty strawberries & cream ice cream. A much yummier and softer cone than what I have at my dumdum windsor donut shop too. @Jack if you're able to supply us ice cream in Windsor, please dm us on IG: @dumdumwindsor. Thank you.

Sometimes a bit of a queue but the yummiest ice cream

I purchased two flavors, one pistachio, one chocolate. They really are so good!!! I love the ice cream here! The pistachio flavor is awesome and the pistachio nuts are thick and rich. The chocolate flavored ice cream is delicious too! I'll definitely be back for my next visit to Cambridge!

The queues out of the door are a telltale sight, this gelato is very good! Definitely swing by for a scoop, vegan options available too, you won't regret it!

Taste is good (not super) and the gelato is quite light. Many different flavours every day. Definitely recommended

Delicious and inventive flavours, lovely helpful staff, great portion size. Keep up the amazing work!

When we talk about the medicine for the gloomy mood, does Ice cream could be one of those particularly effective ones? Cause, it will only take a single “lick time” to function effectively. Very tasty “medicine”, recommended. (An English amateur, sorry for the possible mistakes.)

all sorbets taste too creamy and artificial, couldn’t compare to authentic Gelatos from Aromi which are a lot lighter and more natural taste. Jack Gelato is just a scam. Some flavours are worse than Tesco’s ice creams

Worth 10 stars, hands down. Some of the best Gelato I've ever had. They have nailed it with the amazing range of flavors on offer along with the great taste and smooth texture. Cherry on top was the skip queue to order setup saving quite a bit it wait time given their popularity and long queues.

The long queue is always worth the wait! Delicious ever-changing menu of authentic Gelato, much recommended :) my favourite is mango flavoured cream on a biscuit cone 😋

可以看到很多人在排隊，但排隊不會花費太多的時間，價格合理又好吃

Best gelato ice cream I've had in the UK.

We tried their coconut & cardmom, caramelized milk, strawberry & cream and whiskey options. Three of them were what you'd expect, exception was the one with whiskey which, imho, was not at all what I paid for.

Love the choices they have. I went for my favorite on my first try though. Will opt for the unique ones on my next trip. I went right after lunch so it wasn't crowded at all.

Thank you for your vegan delicious ice cream. My allergic son had mango and rhubarb today and loved them. Staff was very understanding and served us with "clean" spoon to avoid any dairy cross-contamination. Please always keep vegan ice cream separately to avoid any contact with the rest of the dairy ice cream.

This is my favourite place to get ice cream in Cambridge. Their flavours are constantly changing, they have vegan friendly options, and their ice cream feels wonderfully uncomplicated.

Delicious ice cream! Great choice of flavours! Lovely service!

Greatest ice cream flavours in the UK!

I have tried hot cocoa during winter and ice cream during sunny seasons and it has always been great.

Ice cream lover right here! The good flavors sold out by the end of the day so went with the simple vanilla and it was pretty damn delicious and smooth. And best part - line moved fast!

3 triple scoops of ice cream for breakfast 4 days running, and once we had some in the afternoon as well! I usually stick to vanilla because so many flavours are too sweet, but Jack's flavours are all fantastic. Dark chocolate and sea salt sorbet, and tahini, were both spectacular, would have preferred my coconut without ripple, but all the flavours were pretty damned good. Well up the rankings of the best ice cream on the planet league.

The best icecream in Cam, no doubt. Especially love the passion fruit and cinnamon biscuit

Very tasty ice-cream. On the expensive side but worth it. Vegan flavours available.

Pricey and average in taste. The whiskey one was best, but the £2 extra I had to pay for it wasn't worth it.

What wonderful ice cream, I refused to have one but had a quick bit if my wife's Honeycomb flavour one. I had to go & buy one after, my wife bought a second after that. OK the price was a bit higher than you would expect but well worth it. Highlight of my day in Cambridge.

Yep, a great place for ice cream that tastes high-quality.

Absolutely loved the gelato here , definitely worth queuing for. I had the rhubarb & rose, and the banana. Both excellent flavours which I would recommend. The gelato was really smooth in texture - seriously good. The shop is close to the river Cam if you want to sit by the water in the sun.

Best ice creams ever! And incredible vegan options!

Delicious as always! Today: banana Dulce de leche and house yoghurt - 2x tiny scoops - creamy and divine 🤗

Fast service, despite the people lining up. Good portion but I expected a lot more in terms of flavour. I wouldn't bother for a second time.

Yes, there will be a queue (especially on a nice summer day). Yes, it's worth it.

The best ice cream place in Cambridge!
