Royal Danish (🗺️)
There aren’t many ice cream shops in Pretoria with character and authenticity like Royal Danish Ice Cream in Colbyn. This ice cream shop has an old-school atmosphere – it’s been under the same ownership since 1998!
Royal Danish produces its products in-house and has various flavours on the ice cream menu. From classic Chocolate and Vanilla to unique flavours like Ginger and Chilli Chocolate, the shop has something for everyone. Additionally, most ice creams served here are gluten-free and some options are even dairy-free. The menu changes regularly, the quality is stand-out, and patrons say that the price is worthwhile.
Apart from ice cream cones and cups, this establishment serves baked goods, milkshakes, and hot or cold drinks.
Krema Caffè e Gelato (🗺️)
This small ice cream shop in Atterbury serves its customers in a cosy and charming atmosphere. It first opened its doors in 2019, so is a relatively new kid on the block.
However, that does not stand in the way of serving quality, crowd-pleasing ice cream in an array of flavours. The menu consists of sorbets and gelatos sold at a mid-range price point.
You can also find coffee, brunch, and dessert options on their menu.
Pauls Homemade Ice Cream (🗺️)
Pauls Homemade Ice Cream in The Grove is a nostalgic ice cream parlour with a quaint backstory. It dates all the way back to the 90s in New York and inspires a retro store design and happy atmosphere.
If you get FOMO at the thought of American holidays and seasonal treats like Pumpkin Spice, this is the place for you. Pauls sells special flavours according to the month of the year, often corresponding with what’s trending at the time. They also serve the classics like Birthday Cake and Triple Chocolate.
This brand also has unique extras and gift options for sale, like smash cakes, truffle boxes, and even treats with dog-safe ingredients.
Old Town Italy (🗺️)
Menlyn Maine, a high-end mall with unique restaurants, hosts this eatery with everything you can imagine that is Italian. That includes Italian-style gelato, of course!
The smooth texture and rich flavour of their ice cream steal the show every time, no matter which of their classic or unique flavours you select.
Apart from its artisanal frozen treats, Old Town Italy serves a full Italian dinner menu, wines, and other authentic desserts. This location serves as a great experience whether you are stopping by for a to-go gelato or an all-out dining experience.
House of Ice Cream (🗺️)
This hidden gem is a favourite among many locals in the Faerie Glen area. The shop is small, but the quality and variety of ice cream are its real stand-out characteristics.
Patrons receive a high standard of service and true value for money here. The establishment is a convenient provider of house-made ice cream in every form: cakes, sandwiches, lollies, shakes, soft serve, and more. House of Ice Cream speaks of specialised service delivery and timeless dairy goodness.
