Jack's Gelato in Cambridge

O!M!G! Insanely delicious. Tried two flavors, and I LOVE that they have a small portion at a better price. Blueberry sorbet was really good but the dark chocolate seasalt …. A dream. Also the QR code online ordering scheme is very clever and quick, no need to queue.

Gorgeous vegan ice cream flavour, cone included!!! 🔝 The vegan coconut is delicious 😋 and the chocolate too!

The « tiny » scoops portions are a nice add. Excellent ice cream!

Ive graduated from Cambridge but I still misses this thing e v e r y d a y T.T

Awesome natural flavoured ice cream are my favorite in this place. And the inexpensive price sweetens the deal further.

The ice cream tasted quite nice, though the scoops were smaller than I expected. I liked the cone, but I don’t think the chocolate-dipped option is really necessary. They change the menu choices daily, which was a nice touch. We arrived early on a chilly day, so the queue wasn’t too long.

Nice and creative flavours but unfortunately much too sweet for my liking.

Jack’s Gelato is a very popular ice cream spot in central Cambridge. When we arrived there was a long queue outside but the service is quick hence the wait was not long at all. I found the texture of the ice cream to be lovely, thick and creamy and clearly very high quality. I felt the flavours on offer could have been a bit broader but I did enjoy what I had.

He estado varias veces en el helado de Jack y sigo decepcionado. Las opciones de helado varían y tienen pocos sabores de helado básico durante todo el año. Sin embargo, encuentro que los sabores estacionales a menudo son abrumadores en el mejor de los casos y los productos básicos tan - así, especialmente para algo tan caro. Grite al personal que siempre es muy educado, incluso cuando se trata de largas filas de clientes, y que le permiten probar muchos sabores antes de decidir. En general, aunque esto es demasiado caro y promocionado para lo que es.

It was fast serving. Friendly environment and staff. Various options of gelatos and really good taste.

Had the sea buckthorn and mango sorbets. Sea buckthorn was so unique and a lovely blend of sweet and acidic. Mango was a little bland and sweet but still good. Zach the server was very friendly

Realmente popular heladería recomendada a mí por la familia! La cola era grande, pero bajó rápido, tienen un sistema de pedidos elegante! Los sabores eran increíbles y precios realmente razonables para el centro de Cambridge. Me encantaron las mini cucharadas, lo que significa que podía probar más sabores sin que la porción fuera enorme. ¡La sal marina de chocolate y el pistacho eran 10/10!

Fui por panal de miel y coco, sabía increíble. El mejor helado que he probado. Pequeña señal afuera pero pronto cuando está abajo. Personal muy amable y servicial.

This shop is really as mentioned on the Internet. The ice cream is very delicious. It is recommended that you order at least two balls if you can eat it. The feeling of eating dessert will definitely make you remember it. It is different from the ones in the city center. Although the price is about the same, the taste is really good. Moreover, the clerk works very quickly, which is different from the people I know who work in the UK. Definitely eat it every time you come.

The best gelato I have ever tried ! Amazing flavors and super affordable price, will take all my friends here and tell everyone about it! So worth a visit 😍

The best freshly made ice cream in Cambridge. It’s a small place and the line often goes out the door but tis worth it and the line moves pretty fast. The strawberries and cream tastes of summer and the mint straciatella was delicious too.

Ordered vanilla ice cream in a white chocolate dripped cone. Vanilla ice cream is of good quality. White chocolate dipped cone was not worth the extra cost; the cone was thinly coated with warm chocolate. Queue was large to order within. However, an online order system is available with service within a few minutes from a side window.

Wow!! This gelato shop is the best I’ve ever tried! As I approached, I saw lots of people enjoying their gelato, either walking by or sitting nearby. The line was long, but thankfully, the wait wasn’t too long. They offer a wide variety of flavors that change weekly. After some difficult choices, I picked Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt and Coconut Ube, opting for a chocolate dipped cone. The gelato was incredibly smooth, and the cone was nice and crispy. If I return to Cambridge, I will definitely come back to try more flavors! Oh, and they have a mini print vending machine in the shop! I got a cute print, which was a lovely bonus! 😍

Great ice cream place - was so soft and fresh!!! You could tell before going in as there was a long queue which is always a good sign! Some weird flavours of ice cream but it's good that they change the selection everyday for variety.

El servidor era muy amable y nos dejó probar sabores antes de decidir cuál conseguir. ¡Mi hija dijo que era el mejor helado que ha tomado! Había muchas opciones: sabores inusuales, incluidos los sorbetes. Precio justo, especialmente teniendo en cuenta la ubicación. Recomendado!

We saw quite a long queue outside and raving reviews. But unfortunately they didn’t live up to the expectations at all. The texture was more of ice cream than Gelato. The flavours were not prominent enough. We had the cold- infused coffee, milk and sugar cookies, and double pistachio. We tried dark chocolate and sea salt, strawberry and cream. Customer service wasn’t great either.

Very nice gelato in Cambridge! When I was there, there was a bit of a cue but it wasn’t too bad. I got the mint stracciatella and it was pretty good. The place is just a small shop so it can get a bit crowded if people stand near the door. The gelato and serving sizes stray on the expensive side, though.

This ice cream shop truly delights with its rich, velvety chocolate flavor — indulgent, smooth, and perfectly balanced. A must-visit spot for any chocolate lover craving a luxurious frozen treat.

Excellent, specially recommended the blueberry and the salted caramel flavours.

Great ice cream place with several vegan ice creams with vegan cones. One scoop is £2.90 which is very good value. Don't be put off with the long queues as they have multiple servers so you don't have to wait very long.

Extremely delicious: creamy, with a very delicate taste. Cannot wait to sample other flavours!

Good ice cream and nice to have a different menu everyday ! Quite expensive though and I find some flavors lack depth and flavor, here are the flavors I’ve had: Vanilla mascarpone- did not taste of mascarpone, I’ve had some mascarpone gelato in Italy and it doesn’t compare Miso oreo- nice but no taste of miso Hazelnut cookie dough- delicious no comments Chocolate raspberry ripple- very good, a crunch would be a nice addition Sticky toffee pudding- delicious NC Violet- barely tasted of violet, rather tasted of milk, would not have again Yuzu- best I’ve had yet ! It was delicious and would highly recommend ! Mango sorbet- another delicious one

Jack’s Gelato Cambridge’s Coolest Scoop There’s gelato, and then there’s Jack’s Gelato. Tucked just off the hustle of King’s Parade, this small-batch, artisan ice cream haven has become a cult favourite in Cambridge and for very good reason. It’s the sort of place where queues form even in winter, and once you’ve had a taste, you’ll understand exactly why. Jack’s doesn’t mess around when it comes to flavour. Everything is made in-house, in small batches, with obsessive attention to quality and creativity. The classics chocolate, vanilla, pistachio are done exceptionally well: smooth, creamy, and bursting with real, natural flavour. But the real magic lies in the more inventive options. Think burnt sugar and sea salt, miso and white chocolate, or pear and sake sorbet. Every visit feels like a new experience, with rotating flavours that surprise, delight, and always deliver. The texture is bang-on too silky, rich, and utterly indulgent without being heavy. Whether you go for a cone, cup, or one of their house-made brownie ice cream sandwiches, everything feels crafted with serious care. It’s the kind of place you pop into for a quick treat and end up staying a while, chatting with the friendly staff or just people-watching from the street corner with your scoop in hand. A proper Cambridge gem that’s playful, refined, and effortlessly cool.

Amazing ice cream, shame about the jacket!

Best gelato shop in Cambridge. They had gluten free cones which was great and the vanilla gelato was one of if not the best I’ve ever had. The staff are also very friendly. Was very quick as well.

the most wonderfully delicious gelato place in cambridge! often has so many unique flavours and gorgeous classics! I couldn’t recommend this place enough for everyone , they have mini cones for kids , chocolate cones , gluten free cones!! They have options for vegans too.

Visitado por un desierto después del almuerzo. Sabores inusuales pero elegí helado de chocolate. Un poco de cola, pero sin duda vale la pena

Great selection, I do wish their location had seating but when the gelato is this good I can’t complain too much

Easily the best ice cream in Cambridge. Worth the queue!

Amazing gelato! Lots of fun flavor combinations that you’ll want to try them all! Also loved that there are several vegan options available on their rotating menu.

100% worth the wait, don’t miss out

Small batch independent ice creamery. Lots of great flavour combos. Would highly recommend anything with Tajin and with whisky. Please note there is no seating inside so you'll have to find a spot near the town square. Expect good service and enthusiasm for the work they do

Hemos sido orgullosos clientes del helado de Jack durante muchos años, y siempre han sido tan amables y serviciales. Mi hija es gluten - libre, pero aquí puede tener un helado de buena calidad en un cono! También utilizan una cuchara separada y una bañera separada para evitar la contaminación cruzada.

The gelatos were really delicious. Lots of selections. It’s worth enduring the cold weather. The staff were really nice and kind.

Just an ice-cream / Gelato shop as usual one.

Absolutely delightful. They took my dietary restrictions into consideration as well.

Been going to Jack's Gelato for a couple of years and had different flavours every time. All delicious, could not decide which one to have yesterday and was given 2 tasters,both great but I chose the Panelo which was lovely

Pretty brilliant and I can see why my friend hyped the place up. Fabulous array of unique flavours, a great vibe and always bustling with people ready to try the next wacky combination they conjure up. Great pricing for the quality and artisanal nature of the gelato and very quick to serve.

My favourite place! Only wish they had seating or something inside :)

Honeycomb is sooo good! I forgot what flavours we ordered but all of them are delicious!

Really good gelato with some interesting flavors. The apple sorbet was yummy! Worth to eat it even in winter 🥶

You can’t come to City centre and not have something from here. Every flavour is fabulous.

I tried the ube brownie gelato, it wasn’t a flavor I was familiar with, but decided on it after being recommended it and given to try by the store employee. He was very friendly, and even took my order in my native language, Spanish. The gelato itself was delicious and a single scoop is very well served. Would highly recommend visiting.

I suppose it’s high time I review the object of my heart’s desire; the reason for my revision evasion; the hole in my bank account and my ultimate first date move. I wouldn’t call it an addiction so much as a religion. Library? No- Jacks. Post-formal pub crawl? No - Jacks. Sex? No - Jacks. This silly little ice cream shop has been a lighthouse in the storm of academic stress and existential crises. It’s saved friendships, my sanity, everything but money basically. But it’s taught me one thing: money really can buy happiness as long as money can buy Jacks.

Best gelato in Cambridge! Even with long queues, it’s worth the wait!

Best ice cream in town. We have been going here for the last two years. Never disappointed. Amazing flavours. Just a shame as there is no seating area. This would be brilliant especially for the winter season.

Wide selection of refined gelato flavors that is updated daily. Friendly staff always offering you to taste one extra flavor for free. Special mention goes to the smallest cup option, where you can request two tiny scoops, unlike most gelato places that only offer a single standard-size scoop. This way you get to enjoy more flavours without having to order a huge cup or cone.

I've always enjoyed Jack's but recently it's gone downhill, which is very disappointing. The quality of gelato seems to have declined and the customer service has been worse recently, it feels quite rushed and impersonal. It’s really lost touch with its roots and seems to have sold out to the mainstream. Used to be a local gem but now is overrated and not worth the wait. Aromi around the corner consistently delivers at least.

Great selection of interesting flavors, updated often. I particularly love the Asian ingredients, like ube, sesame, or matcha.

A great find in my favourite town. New and interesting flavours.

Some of the best! Please do mint choc chip more!

Delicioso helado. Mi hijo tenía el sorbete de arándanos y mi hija tenía azúcar morena de vainilla. Ambos estaban súper deliciosos. Los servidores nos dieron muestras también.

Always the best flavors and quick service!

Is this Italian ice cream a must-eat in Cambridge? There is always a queue and there are so many people It is said that the ice cream flavors can be changed at any time, so the flavors you can taste may be different every day, but I am still looking forward to it. It’s definitely not worth it to come to Cambridge alone to eat. But if you come to Cambridge, you can give it a try. It’s worth the queue.

I hate leaving bad reviews, but 2 stars and I'm being very generous. The ice cream (please, don't insult Italians saying "gelato") was bland and icy. Good gelato tastes exactly like the simple ingredient its made of and creamy, not this. This was more like cheap Tesco ice cream than anything resembling Italian gelato. Almost 5 quid for 2 scoops that I had a hard time finishing. Had I known, I wouldn't have had it even if they paid me the 5 quid. I feel scammed, to be honest. EDIT: The friendly owner replied saying my reviews are habitually low which is clearly untrue. Good reviews where good are due. At least with McFlurry, I know what I'm getting and saving a few quid. Happy to try the establishment next door next time to broaden my horizons as I can't clearly distinguish between overpriced ice cream and actual gelato. Happy weekend in Tuscany.

servants are racist. No one serves me until a white couple came in, and they cut in the line in front of me. Edit after arrogant owner’s response. I wasn’t playing with my phone. I’m holding a toddler waving my hand and smile. They are not my servants, but they do serving customers. Your response is rude with full of wrong assumptions. If you take a moment to look back the footage for your camera. You can see what happened. But you are not. Proved that you are racist and arrogant.

Someone recommended this for me. Order dark chocolate & sea salt ice cream with dark cone. Taste good.

Hidden gem, on a quiet side road - such creamy gelato and really good selection of flavours! Don't miss out

The chai masala was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. 😍 was genuinely blown away! Chocolate Raspberry ripple was quite good too, but the raspberry flavour wasn’t that strong - mostly just chocolate

Nice Gelato. Many flavours with vegan options .

I tried Fenland Celery. It was interesting.

I ate it as a package and had it with chocolate cone + lemon sorbet + crawberry. I visited a famous gelato shop in Cambridge, but the taste was bland than I expected. It wasn't bad, but it was a bit pricey for ice cream, so I expected high quality, but it didn't seem to live up to that standard. Compared to waiting in line, turnover and service were very good. The inside of the store was also clean.

Every flavor I’ve ever tried has been so wonderful. Their service is always kind and quick as well

This is the kind of place that warrants high expectations with its out-the-door lines and pretentious flavors like mezcal raspberry ripple. They deliver. The flavor combos are tantalizing and softness of the gelato is remarkable. I went twice in a day.

Delicious gelato and I’m not even a big ice gelato or ice cream person. Their flavors change daily and they are generous with their samples, though I only tried two. Next time I’d try 4 (they give you 2 on either end of a wooden spoon). Note that the flavors are different at the 2 locations in Cambridge! I got the sticky toffee pudding mini scoop (half scoop) for £1.80. It was like a sweet cream ice cream with bits of sticky toffee pudding. I LOVE that they do a mini scoop! It was the perfect amount for me. I might even do a mini scoop at each location in the same day because why not :)

Best ice cream I have tasted, home made all natural how it should be, it is ausum. Can’t judge atmosphere as it is a takeaway.

Jack's Gelato generously donated a voucher for 10 ice creams, for our local school's summer fete, showcasing their fantastic support for the community. Their contribution brought a sweet treat to our event, and we are truly grateful for their generosity. Known for their delicious and unique flavors, Jack's Gelato is a favorite among both kids and adults. Highly recommend Jack's Gelato for their commitment to local initiatives and their delightful frozen treats!

Wow! Excellent ice cream with VERY unique flavours and combinations. Service was quick and easy, and despite the weekend evening rush, the line moves swiftly. Thus, you don't feel the wait. Was taken there by my sister while visiting here in London. It's worth the effort and time spent to get there. Given the flavours you would not be getting anywhere else!

Awesome gelato and super friendly young people running the shop. You can try samples of different flavours first and they really try and help find something you'll like (all flavours are great but I loved the yogurt flavour). Also a great price of £2.90 for a large scoop, which is great compared to London's tiny scoops selling at £5-6! 😁

Lives up to the hype! Quality ice cream at a reasonable price.

Really tasty gelato with a unique range of flavours. Really liked Coconut & ube, Eton Mess, and the Damson Sorbet!

Nothing wrong with the gelato but today the guy at the till seems really unfriendly. I asked if I can try two flavours and he only gave me one first, tried to charge me with the price of a full scoop while giving me a tiny scoop, and asked me to reuse the tasting stick for my ice cream. Any of these micro-aggressions may appear to be fine on its own but when it comes together my only assumption is that this shop is hiring staff that is an absolute racist and show no respect to their customers. I hope that actions can be taken and no more customer will suffer again from the same situation which ruined my mood for the entire day. And not to mention I have visited Jacks a thousand times before.

Fui aquí un par de veces durante mi estancia en Cambridge. Había clasificado el helado Oreo y un batido de panal. El personal es amable y le permite probar los sabores de helado antes de comprar Sacan nuevos sabores cada día con algunos sabores únicos

Tried there Ube, Dark Chocolate and Sea salt and friend tried Hazelnut scoops here. Ube was very light and not too sweet or overpowering. Dark Chocolate with salt was really salty as per my liking, glad had a Ube to pair it up with which helped to balance out the flavor. The Hazelnut was a winner. It was perfect. And we were lucky as there was no long queue for us, hardly 4 people ahead of us. but when we stepped out with our ice creams, there were already 10-12 people standing out side the shop.

Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Always has fun, new flavours and the queue never takes too long

I recommend the hazelnut taste of ice-cream.

If your in Cambridge you cannot miss this gem! Best gelato , the cookies a cinnamon biscuit was a personal favorite with the infused coffee. Prices from £6.95 for 2 scoops on a sugar dipped cone

Lovely staff and delicious gelato

service was great, they were really helpful. however, ice cream is decent

Among the very best ice cream to be found in the UK. It never fails to impress and is always memorably delicious.

¡Constantemente increíble helado con cientos de sabores divertidos y un menú que cambia diariamente! Las colas son largas en días calurosos y fines de semana, pero a menudo tienen cuatro o cinco personas sirviendo y la cola se mueve rápidamente. También puede pasar su tiempo en cola planeando su pedido, pero tenga cuidado, algunos sabores se agotan! Por la noche algunas cosas del menú impreso pueden haber desaparecido, pero mantienen el menú interior en la pared actualizado, e incluso añaden cosas nuevas a lo largo del día! Las tazas y los conos tienen el mismo precio, pero también venden conos sumergidos en chocolate por un poco más - ¡la capa de chocolate es adecuadamente gruesa y deliciosa! Hacen granita en verano y chocolate caliente en invierno, pero a mí me gusta el helado. He probado muchos sabores a lo largo de los años - tienen estándares increíbles como su característico chocolate negro y panal de abejas si te gusta lo básico, pero a menudo me ha sorprendido disfrutar de cosas únicas como la fruta de la pasión y la albahaca! Puedes tener hasta 3 cucharadas en un cono / taza, o conseguir la mitad - tamaño ‘cucharadas diminutas’ - siempre consigo un ‘doble diminuto’ para 2 sabores con el tamaño de una cucharada, cuesta 40 p extra, pero es bueno si eres indeciso! Consejo superior, puede pedir catadores que el amable personal estará encantado de darle - pueden poner 2 en un palo para guardar los palos! Pregunta también cuál es el “sabor secreto” todos los días, también está en instagram. Tienen un sistema de pedidos online pero a mí me gusta ir a la tienda porque el personal está muy bien informado y te puede hablar de los sabores para que sea una experiencia más divertida (y no lleva mucho más tiempo en mi opinión). La tienda está abierta hasta las 11 pm o medianoche los sábados, así que es ideal para helados post-cena. Jack’s es uno de los favoritos entre los estudiantes, turistas y lugareños por igual - ha sido genial ver crecer el negocio a lo largo de los años a 2 tiendas ahora! ¡Pruébalo, no te decepcionará!

Great ice cream place in Cambridge. Will definitely come back again 🥰

Excellent ice cream, cones really good too . Recommend the honeycomb ice cream

Vi esta tienda de helados en insta y pensé que deberíamos comprobarlo mientras nos quedamos a la vuelta de la esquina y no nos decepcionó! Había una cola incluso a las 7 pm, pero valió la pena. Incluso los sabores veganos eran agradables! 80 por 2 cucharadas cada uno no me pareció tan mal. , Definitivamente conseguiría este helado de nuevo.

Never had it before but came highly recommended. Amazing how you can get used to cream. Tried Ely shop too. Enjoyed choc - seeing as rum n raisin wasnt available

Come make a pilgrimage to Cambridge’s famous ice cream shop There are many flavors, you can try them first After you finish eating, decide what flavor you want. For those who don’t know how to order, they can also scan the Qrcode to order online and then pick up the food from the small window next to it. The whole design is very good All flavors of ice cream are delicious😋 Just choose the flavor you like!

Delicious artisanal gelati (ice cream, sorbet)! And efficient service. Quite expensive but no miracle. I recommend trying the violet gelato, coconut if I remember.

Our favourite place in town! The line is long but it moves quickly. Don't forget to ask about the secret flavour!

I've been there twice, and the ice cream is absolutely delicious and worth the above-average price. Lines are a bit long at times but far from unbearable (usually 10 mins max). I love the interesting and unique flavours that change every day. Overall nice and efficient staff members and would recommend

Excellent ice cream. Good texture. Excellent and special flavors.

The queue to enter the store is a bit long, but the queue time is not long and the speed is very fast. The store clerk is very kind. If you are interested in a flavor that you are not sure about, you can ask the store clerk to let you try it. Don’t be afraid of embarrassment and just choose! If you see a strange flavor, you can take a bite and try it🥰 Most of the flavors will be sweet. If you can't eat sweets, be careful and choose pure chocolate or brownie flavors.

Jack’s Gelato has always been a family favourite for us so it was a joy to have them at our wedding. The guests loved the cart and all the flavours and helped leave our wedding on a sweet note. Thanks for everything!

Such an impressive little place, even with a qué out the door it moves quickly and you get served, not only fast but with a smile, the staff are lovely and the ice cream is delicious, fantastic vegan options without them just tasting of coconut milk like alot of vegan ice creams. Really interesting flavours that you won't find everywhere and not just for a gimmick! The prices a very reasonable for what you get too!

4.6⭐. We are international travelers. This Gelato is said to be a famous ice cream shop in Cambridge! Gelato means Italian ice cream. The space in the store is relatively small. When we visited on Friday afternoon, there were many people queuing up and it took about 10 to 20 minutes to wait. The entrance is relatively small. There are many flavors of ice cream, some of which you can’t seem to find in Taiwan. I chose double honey, which may be very sweet to some people (the picture is a friend’s hand), but I think it tastes pretty good. It tastes ice-cold and sticky. It's sticky, and according to a friend, the gelato he ate in Italy is better. A two-ball gelato costs £4.50. Two balls are obviously more cost-effective than one. The price is the same when it comes in biscuits and cups. Service part: We were confused about the items on the menu because one item contained two flavors. When we wanted to choose two flavors, we misunderstood that this item only counted as one flavor. Fortunately, the store The waiter patiently spoke to us in English slowly (perhaps he happened to encounter a word we had never heard of), and finally it became clear that he felt quite friendly to foreigners, even if there were a lot of people. This brings back great memories for me in Cambridge. 20240726

It’s so delicious. I recommend Coconut! ! It turns out to be purple🥥It smells like taro, so amazing😋The price/performance ratio is very good. If I come to Cambridge next time, I will try it again✌🏼
