Coolest Gluten Free Ice Cream in London
On a warm day, there is nothing I like more than getting an ice cream to cool off. Luckily for us, there are tons of gluten free ice creams like magnums, twisters, and now even the swedish glace gf vegan cones. However, there are also loads of really cool places in London to get ice cream that is definitely a bit more exciting than the off-the-shelf versions!
As someone with a sweet tooth, I would wholeheartedly recommend all of these places for a totally delicious gluten free treat.
Unfortunately a few places previously included in this guide are no longer available:
Yaki Yaki - closed permanently
Yorica - closed permanently
Amorino - no longer does GF cones
But there are still lots of fab options below!
Vida Bakery
Where: Brick Lane
What: Vida Bakery is a 100% gluten free and vegan bakery on Brick Lane. Everything is colourful, planet friendly and really tasty. They’ve recently brought back their GF vegan soft serve ice cream - all toppings and cones are GF too!
Coeliacs: the shop is 100% gluten free.
Grom
Where: Piccadilly
What: Grom is a 100% GLUTEN FREE ice cream shop in London and in various European countries. Think cones dipped in chocolate, ice cream stuffed brioche and being able to eat everything! It’s not just a novelty either, everything is delicious.
Coeliacs: everything is gluten free!
Little Moons Mochi
Where: Oxford Street Selfridges (note: cocktails pictures from Covent Garden pop up)
What: Little Moons are the latest Tik Tok craze, but I can honestly say they’ve been on my radar for years! If you’re not familiar with mochi, it’s Japanese style ice cream coated in sweet rice paper and is delicious. Selfridges has a Little Moons pick and mix (!) and most of the flavours are gluten free.
Coeliacs: some flavours contain gluten but they are all stored separately and a new pack can be opened if needed.
Yolkin
Where: Soho
What: Yolkin make something a bit different from the other places in this guide - ice cream filled macaron sandwiches! They are a real treat and very instagrammable. There are gluten free pre-made options including the mermaid (almond macaron with salted caramel ice cream and white chocolate tail) and the doughnut (macaron with vanilla ice cream and a raspberry sorbet centre), or you can make your own.
Coeliacs: one of the pre-made options and some of the ice cream is not gluten free, so be sure to speak to staff to avoid cross contamination.
