Temperatures are rising in Madrid and it doesn’t look like they’re going to stop anytime soon. With this heat, you could go to the beach, enjoy a drink on the most popular or nearest bar terrace or enjoy a delicious ice cream. Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla or the strangest flavour you can think of. It doesn’t matter because you will definitely find your ideal ice cream on this route of the best ice cream shops in Madrid, which you can find below.
La Romana
Who hasn’t heard about the legendary Italian ice cream? You don’t have to fly to Rome to try one! Just go to Calle San Bernardo, 96, or Paseo de la Habana, 27, because this is where you will find the famous La Romana ice cream shops. They offer authentic Italian tradition in the shape of an ice cream, whether it’s pistachio, white chocolate or toppings made with pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips or almonds. Best of all, they also sell vegan ice creams made without milk or eggs and they are just as delicious!
Tutti Frutti
This traditional ice cream shop has been open since one can remember on Cuesta de San Vicente, 22, making their own homemade ice creams since 1949, ingrained in the memory of many locals. There’s nothing like their violet ice cream to accompany you on a walk around the enclosed Plaza de España or Plaza de Oriente.
Sani Sapori
The traditional Lavapiés district is getting more and more popular every day and on its streets you can find a cute little ice cream shop whose name goes beyond borders: Sani Sapori. The quality of its products is as good as its name is evocative. To elaborate traditional ice cream, all they use are fresh seasonal ingredients and fresh milk, without any chemicals or strange stabilisers. They also offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free ice creams, so there are no excuses not to try this delicious ice cream in the centre of Madrid.
Rocambolesc
If you have already seen it all and are looking for something completely different, we suggest that you check out Rocambolesc, an ice cream shop located on the seventh floor of the El Corte Inglés department store in Serrano, on Calle Serrano, 52. We can guarantee that this temple of ice cream will freeze your brain. Roast apple, pop rocks, guava jam and even cotton candy are just some of the flavours that you can enjoy in this crazy ice cream parlour which seems straight out of Willy Wonka’s factory! In this case, however, all the credit goes to the prodigious mind of its owner, Jordi Roca.
