Mary's Milk Bar was a great stop for gelato while exploring Grassmarket. They had a nice variety of…read moreflavors, and you can sample one before deciding. We tried the hazelnut and salted caramel, and really enjoyed both. They were super creamy and flavorful. The shop is pretty small, so the line was outside, but it was well organized and moved fairly quick. There's no seating, but the location is perfect for grabbing your gelato and walking around with views of Edinburgh Castle.

I decided to get the milk flavor, and liked the creamy texture overall. We also enjoyed the view of the castle while eating the ice cream outside.

Yummy!! They offered about 10 flavors. Hard to choose. Staff very friendly. Will return again.read more

The ice cream was good but lacking in depth of flavour, and my friend who tried the lychee flavour said it was obviously a flavour rather than the real juice.

Hands down the best sweet shop in all of Edinburgh! The staff is beyond friendly and the food is…read moreamazing. They have a variety of sandwiches that were delicious and a huge variety of gelatos and cheesecakes. The place is spotless clean and the manager was very open and welcoming to my family told us all about what was good in town and what we would find interesting. I wish we could come back here every-night we will for sure be coming back and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a sweet treat or even a yummy sandwich.

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!

Yup I was torn about giving this place 3 or 4 stars... Think it's probably 3.75! 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!

The vanilla is the way to go - it lets the flavor of the milk shine, and boy howdy, is that good!. While you're at it, don't get any sprinkles/whatnot - it will detract from the mouthfeel, which is oh so wonderfully unctuous. It's on the path to the castle, and well, well, worth the pitstop

This place has the creamiest ice-cream I've ever tasted!…read more Without sounding like a complete moron, if you can imagine what whipped cream would taste like frozen, you've got an idea of how delicious this ice-cream is! I opted for a traditional 99 (soft, whipped ice-cream with a chocolate flake) in a cone with sprinkles. I suppose this is a good point to say that I'm not the world's biggest ice-cream lover but this really set my world on fire, so much so that I went back the next day for another one. My friend opted for the butterscotch and white chocolate with coconut and these were equally delicious (I had to taste, for research purposes of course). They didn't have a huge selection but there was something to suit everybody here. Also, in terms of price, this place was fairly steep at around £6.50 for two ice-creams. In saying that, however, the price didn't stop me from going back the second day and if I was back in Edinburgh tomorrow I'd be straight up the Royal Mile to get one of these bad boys!

I think we'd all flock in after dinner looking to appease our sweet tooth- good for us and good for business (and good for our dentist!) It's a quaint little shop that does some funky flavours of icecream. Take away tubs (three scoops) is £4 which is a total bargain in my view, especially when it's made by the lovely Wendy herself. Taster spoons are a good mouthful and the changes in flavours will make me ever curious about what concoction is hot on the shelf today. Since there doesn't appear to be an appropriate time for us working grown ups to go during the work week, I'd reccomend just taking the day off work to hang here instead.
