    Gelato and chinotto- feels like italy!!
    Suzy G.

    I have been waiting so long for real Gelato in Edinburgh, now thanks to Affogato I can cancel my holiday to Italy!! To be true Gelato it must be natural (both flavour and colouring), made on site and have that soft melting texture. There are some places that claim to make gelato but if you've been to Italy then you'll know that the real McCoy only exists here at Affogato - anything else is just ice cream. The flavors are inventive and seasonal and often offer options that are gluten free and vegan (the fruit sorbets). The fruit flavours always look so inviting and I love the thought that they are a bit healthier but I always go the full fat, full cream route, unless they have chocolate sorbet - that is phenomenal!! The salted caramel is my all time favourite and the coffee has over 20 shots of espresso!! The price is also amazing! In fact - for the service, quality and quantity that Affogato delivers they really should charge more. . Did I mention that they are super nice and dog friendly too! BONUS!!!

    Spinning wheel of gelato!

    Thanks to yelpers high rating for this dessert place, my friend and I were craving ice cream so we landed at afogato for gelato. They have doggie treats near the cashier so dog owners, you can bring your pets and they get a sweet treat too! We tried as many flavors as we could because they were so unique and different, you had to try before you buy. I ended up getting their popular flavor, salty caramel. The other scoop was white chocolate passion fruit, fruity with a neutral taste from the chocolate. I can't quite explain it but the flavor itself was explosive. After we ordered our smalls, we realized we should have gotten the sit in sundae instead. That seems like a tastier and better deal. Anyways friendly staff who was able to explain or at least get an answer for us on what the flavors were. The only thing I wish they had was explanations of the flavors since we kept on asking or mispronouncing the gelato names.

    Gelato on a sunny weekend

    After enjoying some sunshine at the Water of Leith we decided to stop by for an ice cream at Affogato last Saturday. I have been hearing good things about this place and, being the sweet tooth that I am, was keen to check it out. When you arrive you are faced with the tough decision of which flavour to choose from their gelato wheel of fortune. They had an excellent choice of flavours with seasonal treats, such as, 'hot cross bun', 'rabbit food' and 'easter egg' on offer. In the end I opted for the apple and elderflower sorbet and a white chocolate and raspberry flavour. The sorbet was lovely, bursting with fresh appley flavour (a bit like a lovely cloudy apple juice.) The white choc was less good, and tasted a bit funny- we both thought this but perhaps it just wasn't for us. The ice cream came on tasty waffle cones and it was nice that you could pick and choose your flavours and mix them up. Overall I was glad to have stopped by, for me it's not quite Mary'sMilkBar-good but I would definitely like to try out some of their other flavours.

    This place was so good we came here every night while we were staying in Edinburgh. They have amazing gelato! Lots of fun flavors and they change everyday. Highly recommend this place for dessert!

    Gelato.. toffee flavor and Apple crumbcake
    Akua E.

    Great gelato and Apple crumbcake. Staff was great. They had wifi and and nice cosy shop. I wish I could have had the waffle too... maybe next time I'm in edinburgh! I felt better that it was vegan also!

    What a unicorn! I'm sitting at dinner and I look up an ice cream place only to find... 5 stars?!! 44 reviews!?! A good find indeed! It felt like someone took me into their home and made me a huge fresh ice cream. A dog bed on the ground with a water bowl definitely means a dog lives here and was on a walk. Extremely friendly people who run the place and I felt super welcome when I walked in. There is some decent art on the wall... and a couch! Pretty view out the back and just an overall cool and fun place.

    See all

    We looked them up online, checked the hours, and raced over, only to find that they had closed early that day. Disappointing.

    Best place to cool off in summer. The gelato is the best in Edinburgh by far. Flavours are cool, quite a good selection.

    On one recent particularly hot work day, I decided to nip by Meadowberry on my lunch and treat…read moremyself to some frozen yoghurt. It's a small location with a few tables but is really setup for takeaway business. Situated right across from the Meadows, this works well. I had come out without my glasses and unfortunately they didn't have a printed menu so I was at a bit of a loss for what was on offer. It was only after I ordered a frozen yoghurt that I discovered that they have a non-dairy option which would have been a better choice. As has been said previously, they have only two flavours at a time with the option to mix. When I was in the options were plain (which I think is a standard) and banana. I opted for the plain and splurged on an oreo topping. The yoghurt was very tasty without being overly sugary - big plus. The small serving was ENORMOUS as well as being pricey (£2.75, I think?). I would have much preferred a smaller portion with a smaller price. All in all it was ok but I probably won't find myself itching to return - my recommendation would be to advertise their flavour of the day on their website or Facebook page, and to create a smaller and more wallet friendly serving size.

    It's hot and we all love a few scoops of enticing and luscious ice cream. So I went to check out…read moreScoopz. It's quite a small place conveniently located in Old Town near the Peartree pub. The interior reminds me of a 50's coffee place with red leather seats. I got a scoop of Banoffe. It tasted quite sweet. Yes Yes ,all ice cream is sweet, but there is a differentiation of good and luscious tastes. This taste was good and I can recommend this place for ice cream. They have quite a good assortment to choose from and you get served cups and cones, whatever rocks your boat! They also do pancakes and milkshakes, so I will definitely be back! Prices vary, but are definitely affordable. Enjoy!

Great concept, all…read morethe sweets & chocolates to choose from & mix with whatever ice-cream, waffle, pancake combination you desire! I'd actually walked past this place numerous times in the past few weeks and simply hadn't spotted it - nothing eye catching about it and the interior felt more tacky then vintage. Now I'm fussy about ice-cream (living in Italy for 2years has turned my into a bit of an ice-cream snob) so I wouldn't call this good ice-cream at all. However once blended into a shake with your favourite chocolatey treat - it did taste pretty good! If you're feeling like having a bit of guilty chocolate / sweet junk food - then this is definitely the place to go!
