Great vegan selection

Lovely ice cream shop, quite small and not a lot of seating though. Several vegan options. I had the biscoff and it was really good!. Friendly service. Would return.

Pros: great vegan options

La Gelatiera

Appreciate the variety (7 vegan options) and vegan cones, liked the dark chocolate but the strawbery sorbet tasted quite bland.

Amazing ice cream, friendly staff

I wanted to try La Gelateria based on HC reviews.

I got to try the pistachio and the dark chocolate, which were both great.

The staff was also very nice.

I'll definitely come back to try more flavours.

Pros: Many vg options, Generous portions , Friendly staff

My favourite!

La Gelatiera usually offers around seven vegan flavours, about half their full selection. I haven't found a better pistachio gelato - a touch of salt elevates it. It's a winning combo with the dark chocolate. Coconut and biscoff are also amazing when available. I love that the vegan options aren't just fruit sorbets although these are next level too.

Pros: Cones are vegan, Open till late - ideal for post-theatre dessert :)

Richtig gutes Eis

Die veganen Sorten sind gelabelt und die Waffeln auch vegan.
Das Eis war super cremig und geschmacklich sehr intensiv. Selbst die Fruchtsorten waren schön fruchtig und nicht nur wässrig süß.

Pros: Gute Auswahl, Schön cremig, Intensiver Geschmack

Fabulous vegan options

There were quite a few vegan options and it was some of the very best ice cream I've ever had.

We opted for a 2 scoop cone and a 2 scoop tub. We tried the dark chocolate with chilli, pistachio and coconut. All three were amazing. The ice cream is so smooth and rich in flavour.

Highly recommended.

Tasty vegan gelato

I got a delicious bowl of pistachio, strawberry and chili chocolate gelato. The serving size was big, and the price reasonable for the area. I loved the chili chocolate, and the other two flavours were good too. There’s lots of vegan options, which is great. The store itself is a bit small with no indoor seating, and just a few chairs and benches outside.

La Gelateria - 4.5 Stars

I prefer the other location south of the river, as this one feels very cramped and was very hot the day we went. Nevertheless, the pistachio and chocolate gelato with a vegan cone was delicious.

Delicious treat in Covent Garden

A tiny, cosy Cafe with a wide selection of vegan (but also regular) ice cream. Menu includes vegan sweet potato waffles, which i highly reccomend (pared with ice cream- heaven!). Vegan hot Chocolate was also devine, all in all it's an amazing place but the space is very very limited. Also i've Got a different flavour of ice cream than i wanted but that's ok it was still super yummy.

Pros: A lot of vegan gelato flavours, Vegan drinks, Friendly staff

Cons: Very Little space, Staff is a bit confused

Best vegan ice i've ever had!

I tried the chocolate chili. Wow! A real flavor explosion in my mouth with a nice spicy kick. And the pistachio tasted like they somehow transformed fresh pistachios into ice cream. I was sad when i finished it and had no more left.

Pros: Vegan options packed with flavor, Natural, Friendly service

Fine ice cream but don't try anything else vegan

We went to this establishment because we wanted to try a vegan waffle and not just a scoop of ice cream. Although the ice cream was good we might as well have stayed in Covent garden. The vegan waffle I ordered for my daughter was small, looked liked it has actually just failed to bake (moist chewing gum texture) ... when I asked if this had to be like this I got the answer that it was made of sweet potatoes and this was normal. It was a big expensive disappointment and the staff did nothing to make us feel any better. 5 pounds for a little gummy mess on our plate. Sorry I can't give a better review.... 2 stars just because the ice was good

Pros: Vegan ice

Cons: See my comments

Pistachio flavour

They have a good range of vegan options which change quite frequently but the pistachio is my absolute favourite flavour. I have also tried the vegan waffle with gelato and chocolate sauce which is very indulgent.
Service is friendly but on sunny days you sometimes need to queue as it is very popular.

Pros: Central location, Great vegan options

Cons: Not all vegan, Can get busy

A true delight

Everytime I'm in London I have to visit them and get the pistachio flavour. It's absolutely amazing, portions are generous, and their other flavours are just as good.

Best ice cream you’ll ever have!

I stumbled across this small gelato shop while strolling around SOHO and Covent Garden and it proved to be one of the highlights of my trip. They offer a wide variety of clearly labeled vegan gelatos—and not just fruit sorbets like most places.
I tried their pistachio, dark chocolate, and spicy dark chocolate varieties and they were just sublime! The dark chocolate is simply unbelievable. My Omni boyfriend tried and and could not believe it was vegan. It was creamy, rich, and simply pure ambrosia. If you’re a chocolate lover like myself, you cannot pass up stopping by this place.

Pros: Amazing ice cream, Friendly staff

Best place ever

Almost half the display is vegan, pistachio and the dark chocolate ones are always there but they change up the other ones every day. There is a vegan flapjack and waffle! It's super cute and everyone is delightful. They also have lots of milk alternatives and vegan hot chocolate. Practically paradise.

Best gelato outside of Italy

I don't usually write many reviews, but this place absolutely deserves one! If I could give more stars I would, this is hands down the best ice cream I have eaten outside of Italy, and it actually is better than many i have had in Italy too. Absolutely delicious! Dark chocolate and pistachio are my firm favourites, and my boyfriend loves almond! Never get tired of it, we even visit several times a week :-) and the staff are super friendly :-) if you are in Covent Garden area do pay a visit you won't be disappointed.

Pros: Top quality ice-cream

Cons: None

Favourite gelato spot in London

About half of the flavours offers are vegan, they often change the options, my fave are pistachio and chocolate. Would give 5 stars if it was completely vegan.

Pros: Delicious, A lot of vegan options (ice cream, waffles)
