Authentic Cuban Food

When London heats up, yelpers cool down with hundreds and thousands of chilled treats. From sundaes and sorbets to gelatos and granitas, this week, get the scoop on some seriously fab frozen flavours before they melt away!

Wanna make Sarah O scream? "Marine Ices has just the ticket. The amaretto ice cream is officially her comfort food of choice, and sweet baby Jesus, is it amazing!" Over at Clapton cooler, Nardulli, Guillaume F's "taking home a variety of wonderfully tasty ice creams – all for a reasonable price." If you're hankering for a brain freeze like no other, Allen D swears that Foubert's is an udder delight. It's "the place to go if you're looking for excellent ice cream." Dare we say it's the cream of the crop, Allen?

New kid on the block Gelupo doubles dips as both a deli and gelateria, but for Yee Gan O, it's the granita that holds "all the stars. The blood-orange is appropriately refreshing, considering the frequency of London heatwaves are somewhere between spotting a four-leaf clover and the Loch Ness monster!" Speaking of monstrous proportions, size matters to Jane D. Luckily for her, Gelato Mio's "servings are gut-bustingly generous – especially if you get a sundae. The quality's amazing, the flavours are authentic, and there's lovely alfresco seating." But it's Oddono's "strawberry sorbet that's so tasty," it had Li-Mei H coming back two days in a row to lick up "creamy textures and tastes of actual strawberries. 'Nuff said."

If you'd rather fro-yo like a mofo – "hands down, no question, 100% sure, without a doubt – Yogurtry is the best frozen yogurt joint in all of London," promises Natalie K. "The peanut butter is absolutely delicious and so perfect when combined with rich chocolate." Similar flawlessness is being whipped up by Yog, where the "perfectly creamy, almost ice-cream like frozen yogurt minus the guilt" has Ana H giving a low-fat thumbs-up "delish!" Wrapping up at Yu-foria, George H lushes "chocolate-mint flakes and blueberries" onto "the natural-flavour yogurt. The toppings alone make it unique, and it's the only place I've seen outside of Asia that does fresh passion fruit right in front of you." Let the fro-mancing begin!

Vikki C. on Snog Liberty
"My favourite boutique department store and some of the best fro-yo I've ever eaten, in ONE PLACE? Yes, it's the Snog pop-up store, now open in Liberty just off Carnaby Street!

I'm a huge fan of Snog (having discovered one in the heart of Soho and spread the good word of frozen yoghurt to all and…"
Molly K. on Scoop
"The giant vats of gelato in the display case are so.... pretty! I was all a-flutter yesterday, when I stumbled upon Scoop while aimlessly wandering around Covent Garden. Thanks to the Yelpers, I knew about Scoop and had it bookmarked for ages to try. My moment arrived and I was all set to order a…"
Cate S. on The Parlour
"If you like cakes, ice cream, coffee and have a special place for old school American Diners in your heart  - The Parlour might give you a heart attack.

Sure, it's posh. Suuuure the mix of American and British culture might send you over the edge. But I promise you that it is worth taking the risk.…"
