22 of the best ice cream and ice cream parlors in Amsterdam
Miuz
On the Overtoom, you'll recently find gelateria Miuz – a very welcome addition to our capital! The owner is a true Italian who grew up in Turin. He's now lived in the Netherlands for ten years and missed the creamy ice cream flavors of his childhood and homeland here in Amsterdam. So, he took matters into his own hands, and Miuz was born. Ice cream lovers should definitely visit Miuz, because the owner makes the ice cream from scratch, using ingredients including fair-trade cocoa beans and dairy from local farms, and without any added flavors. Besides classic flavors, the team is also experimenting with flavors like burrata latte, cappuccino, and tiramisu.

Jersey Ice Cream Parlor
Admittedly, this place is just outside Amsterdam. On the edge of North Amsterdam, to be precise, near Ransdorp. Anyone living nearby is in luck, because the ice cream at Jersey is incredible. It's no wonder many people praise it as the best regional ice cream in Amsterdam.

They're happy to oblige, with ice cream flavored with gingerbread, for example. Or a spectacular ice cream cake for New Year's Eve. The rest of the year, you can enjoy classics and finger-licking flavors like Ferrero Rocher and Oreo.

Van Soest
For chocolate and ice cream, Van Soest is the place to be. But let's be honest, on those hot days, we'd much rather eat ice cream than chocolate, right? Homemade ice cream in many flavors. Lemon cheesecake, yes please!

IJscuypje
Perhaps needless to say, because who doesn't know IJscuypje? What started as a single mini ice cream parlor in the Albert Cuyp market has now become a chain with 14 stores. The success? The pure ingredients, like fresh milk for the ice cream. Don't just order one, but two scoops of mango. The chocolate sorbet is also a must-try.
