Part one of my favorite ice cream spots in The Hague👇🏻🤍🕊️

We have tried an unbelievable amount of gelato here because we are true ice cream fans — and these are the places we keep coming back to.

📍🕊️ Piet Artisans of Flavour (Piet Heinstraat 76, 2518 CK Den Haag)
One of the most memorable ice cream places in The Hague. Incredible flavor combinations and probably the best pistachio gelato I’ve ever had in the city. Rich, roasted, slightly salty pistachio done perfectly.
🤍My favorites: cherry and roasted pistachio.

📍🕊️Opa Pino (Dr. Lelykade 200, 2583 CN Den Haag)
A little piece of Sicily near the sea. Blue and white interiors, lemons, Italian tiles, fountains, beautiful music — everything about this place feels like a small Italian escape. The gelato is made fresh in front of you, and the atmosphere is simply beautiful.
🤍My favorites: dulce de leche and lychee.

📍🕊️ Het IJskabinet (Plaats 31, 2513 AD Den Haag)
This was recommended to me by so many locals, and now I completely understand why. Deep, насыщенные flavors that taste incredibly natural and fresh.
🤍My favorite: berry gelato — it tastes like freshly picked berries from a summer garden.

📍🕊️ Zamcaffè (Reinkenstraat 51A, 2517 CP Den Haag)
A cozy café in a quiet neighborhood with excellent coffee, Italian desserts, and a small but very good gelato selection. One of my son’s favorite places.
🤍My favorite: strawberry gelato.

📍🕊️ Soul Be It (Heulstraat 25, 2514 ER Den Haag)
A new place in the center of The Hague that completely won us over. They only offer a few flavors, but every single one feels creative and unexpected in the best way possible.
🤍My favorites: pear & mint and mango with red pepper. You really have to try them to understand how special they are.
