Hello, dear friends! The season of exposed knees, SPF50 on our cheeks, and radiant faces has finally arrived. Amsterdam has been graced by the weather gods, offering us glorious sunshine and warmth this week.
We aim to spare you the disappointment of embarking on a high-intensity workout (aka biking in Amsterdam when the temperature rises above 23 degrees) only to be rewarded with a lackluster strawberry ice cream or a plain vanilla gelato that’s, well, just ‘so vanilla.’ Brace yourself for an exquisite treat like the blood orange ice cream at Tofani or indulge in the unbeatable 10/10 combination of savoring a cheeky cone of gelato while securing a spot on the Glouglou terrace.
So, slip into your favorite sundress, hop on your trusty Fiets, and pamper yourself with a delectable treat under the boundless blue skies this week!

Tofani
Tofani is our trusted companion when it comes to ice-cream endeavors. Having been there for decades, this place has stood the test of time. Right in the Nieuwmarkt you will find the best affogato and their blood orange ice-cream is refreshingly indulgent.
Miuz
At Miuz, gelato takes center stage. Treat yourself to the sublime pistachio flavor and enjoy a stroll in the nearby Vondelpark. They don’t serve just ice cream, but authentic gelato, and they excel at it!
Van Soest
Van Soest is a chocolatier with multiple locations in Amsterdam. Whilst their chocolate may be great, do not skip on their ice-cream. The white chocolate raspberry flavor is your perfect mid-day pick-me-up.
Monte Pelmo
Straightforward, great Italian ice cream in Jordaan.
Massimo
Massimo Gelato offers the best ice cream in De Pijp. Enjoy a delicious cone and then take a short walk, just 5 meters, to Glouglou next door to wash it down with a glass of natural wine.
Wishing you a blissful summer,
Xx, Aa
