Best Gelato in Surbiton

"Chin Chin Ice Cream was lauded as Europe's first liquid nitrogen ice cream parlour when it opened up in 2010 and it hasn’t taken long for that style to get a foothold in the favour of the general populace. Chin Chin now boasts multiple outlets across London where the clever clogs behind the counter are hand-churning enticing ice cream flavours like tonka bean and burnt butter caramel with liquid nitrogen. Adding liquid nitrogen means that the fat and water particles in the ice cream remain small and tightly knitted together during the freezing operation, resulting in intensely creamy ice cream."

"Restaurants Ice-cream parlours Soho. Those nitro-fuelled experimentalists at Chin Chin are the Willy Wonkas of the ice-cream world, and this Soho shop is an ostentatious showcase for their wares. Not only their signature ices (anyone for halva black tahini?), but also full-on desserts – there’s some seriously elaborate stuff going on here amid all the bells and whistles."

"Coffee ice cream, a dusting of cocoa powder and the fluffiest, softest cloud of whipped mascarpone cream, the base of this brilliant tiramisu mash-up is a thick, super rich, brownie-like cookie that is soaked in espresso for an extra gooey texture. The Chin Chin team have truly outdone themselves here. Address: 54 Greek St, London W1D 3DS or 49-50 Camden Lock Pl, London NW1 8AF"

"Balham has become something of a brunch mecca in recent years, with hip Hildreth Street spot Milk taking centre stage. Set up by Aussie duo Julian Porter and Lauren Johns, Milk first opened back in 2012 as M1LK, but in 2015 it underwent a refurbishment, re-opening without the numeral as Milk. First thing’s first: you will have to queue on weekends, as the Balham brunchers are out in force – but hold out, because the food really is top-notch."

"If you’re an ice-cream addict, then Milk Train needs to be on your list of the best desserts in London to try out. This place was made famous recently by several viral videos and Instagram posts – and when you see the ice-cream creations they conjure up – you’ll understand why this place always has a queue outside."

"Well Milk has given them a 2021 update with a two-pack of French kiwi & pineapple with black lime & coconut icing and rhubarb compote & lavender with treacle."

"Gelupo’s mission is to deliver the finest ice cream this side of the Alps to appreciative Londoners. Unusually for a gelateria, however, the selection of sorbets is as extensive as their ice cream menu – and includes special summer flavours such as Hendricks and cucumber. We love their apricot and strawberry and pink pepper sorbets, and the fact that their chocolate gelato is a sorbet, not because they wanted to make a low fat ice cream, but because as a sorbet it can be made even more chocolatey – we wholeheartedly approve!"

"This is the place to go for proper Italian gelato - it's known for its incredible flavours and high quality taste - one of the owners is actually a chef. Some flavours change every week, and the focus is on fruit sorbets, alcoholic sorbets, desserts and classic crowd pleasers - think Pimm's and lemonade, eton mess and blood orange."

"Gelupo – Gelupo is as italian as it can get in central london. The excellent gelatos and sorbets are kept fresh in a deep counter"

"Seasonal ingredients are at the focus of La Gelatiera, so flavours tend to change most weeks – and so return visits can be attributed to curiosity over greed. Its award-winning gelato is made with cream and milk from Jersey cows, with a selection of vegan alternatives available too. Of those we’ve had, its honey, rosemary and orange zest is a fragrant favourite, Cornish blue cheese is mixed with walnuts for a savoury option, while a dairy-free dark chocolate gelato comes spiced with Calabrian chilli."

"Address: 17 Topsfield Rd, Crouch End, London N8 8PP and 27 New Row, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4LA and 1 West Park Walk, East Village, London E20 1DH. The multi-award winning artisan gelato shop is not to be missed. It combines carefully chosen ingredients, craftmanship and creativity with great success - and to ensure freshness with gelato is made in small batches each day."

"La Gelatiera – A highly acclaimed gelateria sits humbly in a cosy side street location. Any trip to the west end should include a pit"

"Restaurants Bakeries Soho. Crosstown’s delightfully chewy sourdough doughnuts are handmade, fresh every day. Classic flavours such as chocolate truffle are presented alongside more creative additions, like rhubarb, raspberry and ginger – and a vegan’s delight: there are dairy-free offerings that have been perfected (so much so that Crosstown actually have a completely vegan shop in Marylebone)."

"The Blackberry & Pear – one of our banging new seasonal (vegan) flavours available in-store and on-demand across London, direct from the Crosstown website. 🍐🍩✖️ #crosstown#vegancrosstown#crosstowndoughnuts. 📸: chefclarisseflon 🙌🏽 pic.twitter.com/SV4poI3Jr6"

Exceptional quality and velvety textures come together to produce real gelato that keeps Italians and Londoners alike coming back."

"22/06/2021: This store is a chocolate lover's paradise...alot of options to choose from... a wide range of assorted chocolates, gift boxes, bars, gourmet chocolates... the list goes on..a must visit for chocolate lovers."

"Things to do London Bridge. From the people behind Flat Iron Square, London Bridge’s latest food and art hotspot is stuffed with design installations, ethical pop-up shops, vintage clothing and, of course, street food vendors. Among the headliners are Baba G’s Indian ‘pachos’ and ‘naanwiches’ (fresh from winning ‘My Million Pound Menu’), Nanny Bill’s burgers and Up in My Grill’s great steaks, plus coffee from The Gentlemen Baristas and booze from the venue’s open-air bar."

"What makes this market, which moved to its Bermondsey location earlier this year, stand out is the fact that many of its stalls are highly specialised. Whether selling vintage pharmaceutical bottles or tweed hunting jackets, it’s clear that stallholders are passionate collectors in their own right. This means there’s a really well-curated range to rummage through, plus plenty of expert knowledge."

"London Bridge’s street food spot has food from Baba Gs, Nanny Bills, Sugo & Nik’s Kitchen. The Bramble bar is fully covered and there’s a large area where tables are protected by a massive stretched tent."

"Bakers Mathew and Andrew met while working in Melbourne and decided to return to London to set up their own business. Chewy Cookie is all about quality, ethically sourced cookies. The doughs are aged for 24 hours before baking (and we can attest to how great they taste)."

"OK, now we know this next suggestion for the best desserts in London, isn’t a restaurant or cafes – but if you’re looking for an amazing dessert on-the-go, then I don’t think you can top Ben’s Cookies for deliciousness and price. Yummy, gooey, tasty cookies that dreams are made of."
