    in chocolate week what better place to have the stuff - cold, elegant, dark, profound & served in a rather fetching sundae glass - the espresso, & tiramasu ones are rather splendid too!

    Great ice cream
    Current
    I first came here a couple of years ago, and always drop in when I'm around. Although I've never eaten any hot food, I can definitely say that it's one of the best places in London to go for dessert. With a wide range of flavours, the ice creams come in generous portions, and there's always a smile from the person serving you. It's very good value for what you get, and staff are always happy to help you choose exactly what you want. It may be a little cramped at times, but when you see the signatures of patrons such as Jude Law up on the wall, you know it's going to be worth it.

    great local Italian
    Current
    The ice-cream is great, but let's not forget about the restaurant. This is a local, family type place, cheep and cheerful but really good, basic Italian. Their linguine al scoglio is fantastic, and they do pretty good pizzas as well. I wouldn't bother with the starters, but for a great plate of pasta or pizza with some house red wine, it's a winner.
    Plus, the dessert menu is gigantic and you can invent your own sundaes. Coconut ice-cream with ginger pieces was a recent one of mine.

    I love ice cream
    Current
    While there is a restaurant inside, the best way to get ice cream from this little shop is to visit the hole in the wall, flirt with the cute French guys serving you, taste-test everything, and finally settle on a couple of flavours - which they will cram either in a cone or a little paper cup for you. Then take a walk up to Primrose Hill, sit in the sunshine and eat your ice cream, and then lie back and enjoy one of the few beautiful days a year the English summer has to offer.

    The ice cream is absolutely fabulous and it's about 1.70 a scoop, 2.40 for 2, and so on and so forth. They also sell ice cream in bulk to take home, but eating it outside while meandering about on a lazy Sunday afternoon is probably the best way to go.

    Now go, and pick me up some ice cream on your way back home.
