About Snowflake Gelato

Snowflake Gelato is an ice cream shop at 42-44 Thurloe St in London, where fruit-shaped gelato lollies sit in the window, including a peach gelato with a white chocolate shell. The counter carries around 20 gelato and sorbet flavours, with pistachio among them, and premade ice cream on lolly sticks, such as a Dubai chocolate stick. The gelato is made with organic Jersey milk and cream from Somerset. The sorbetto is made by hand from seasonal fresh fruit, and a range of lactose-free and gluten-free choices sits alongside. Coffee drinks are also on the menu for anyone who wants one with or instead of ice cream. The ground floor is narrow, and a mezzanine seating level sits upstairs on the first floor.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the fruit-shaped and stick ice lollies, with the Dubai chocolate lolly named repeatedly as a favourite and the strawberry one liked by a reviewer's daughter. Close behind is the gelato itself, called delicious and fresh, with pistachio recommended, peach with a white chocolate shell, and lavender and rose flavours that reviewers say are rarely seen. Drinks get mixed reactions: a cappuccino is called rich and balanced and a watermelon matcha is praised, while one reviewer found the iced latte very milky with a bitter finish. Several mention friendly, helpful staff, even during a busy time. The main caveats are practical. The peach gelato comes in a cup, its pink dye can stain skin, and one reviewer suggests regular gelato over the fruit-shaped ones because of the price. The ground floor is narrow, the upstairs seating is reached by around 12 steps, and one reviewer notes there is no customer toilet. A first-floor seating area that is air-conditioned in summer is a recurring closing detail.

    “I had the peach gelato with white chocolate shell and it was delicious. It’s served in a cup since it can be difficult to eat with the shape of it. A small warning, the pink dye makes it look like a real juicy peach but it will stain if it makes contact with your skin so be careful! Because of the price, I would recommend the regular gelato instead of the fruit shaped ones, but it’s nice if you want to post it.”
  • Damian Lubanski
    “I realise they specialise in ice cream but my iced latte just wasn't good. Very milky and creamy and then all that bitterness from the coffee has hit me. Probably the worst latte I've had in a long time. Design of the store is weird, very narrow at the ground floor, barely any space but there is mezzanine floor and few tables outside. Clean and tidy. Service was good and helpful though.”
  • Bob Honey
    “We were drawn in by the stunningly beautiful fruit lollies in the window, but they also have some really new and lovely gelato flavours inside, including things like lavender or rose that I love but you rarely see. Friendly staff too”
  • Merve Gürkan
    “Especially Dubai Chocolate stick ice cream was amazing I wish it would not be finished it. And my daughter loves the strawberry one”
  • Kingsley Z
    “The gelato is really delicious, highly recommend the pistachio flavour. One of the best gelatos I’ve tried in London. There is air-conditioned seating on the first floor, a perfect spot to escape the summer heatwave.”
