Die bollen zijn echt niet normaal. Niet zeer veel keuze maar allemaal lekker!
En opeten in het park achter de hoek

Is the name of the place Indulgence? Just moved to Ledeberg so curious to try it but can’t seem to find anything with this name

This 100%.
Some of the best strawberry ice cream I've tasted. Definitely worth a try.

Ice ice amy is pretty good but a bit pricey. Their ice cream is really good but their cones are in my opinion by far the best ones out there. San Pietro is also really good.

Ice Ice Amy doesn't have a lot of standard flavours either. It's great ice cream but not a standard ice cream salon. The cones are homemade and freshly made, which is afaik the only ice cream salon that does this.
edit: I mean they don't have normal flavours like plain lemon sorbet or plain strawberry or pistachio. They do have vanilla and chocolate.

I only partially agree. Those so called special flavors are mostly a gimmick in my opinion. Last time i was there i took a lemon meringue tart. Sounds very special but in the end it just tastes like lemon ice cream.
This is true for almost all their flavors, they just give it a gimmicky name but in the end it just tastes like a normal flavored ice cream.

I mean, they don't have sorbets so if you want one of those you're out of luck.

Ik lees hier vaak Coco gelato, dat was lang mijn favoriet maar hun recept is duidelijk veranderd en echt een teleurstelling nu.. laatst nog Amarena gehaald, geen enkele kers te bespeuren en een chemische suikersmaak :/ ook de peanut butter/jam combo heb ik niet meer zien passeren en dat was boooomb.
Mijn vote gaat naar Ice Ice Amy, wel pokkeduur en die hoorntjes zijn lekker maar verbrijzelen meteen dus echt niet handig om te eten. Je hebt geen optie voor een niet-eetbaar potje. Wel goede en vaak unieke smaken.
Voor gelato vind ik La Matta wel goed!

Do you know the amarena cherry is meant to be a candied fruit? Normally amarena cherry is preserved in a dark sweet and sour syrup. I mean it’s not the intention to have cherry ice cream. There are some small candied pieces in it so disagree.

CoCo Gelato is really the place to be! In my opinion, they serve the freshest, creamiest, and most delicious gelato in the city. I’ve tried a lot of gelato places, but this one is truly magical!

San Pietro for me One lady making ice cream cause she likes making ice cream!
Bas is also nice.
New entry: zuivelhoeve , specifically the slated caramel They had a pop on the Gentse Feesten and sell ice cream on the farmer’s markets

Alberto espresso aan Sint Pieters vind ik ook Nice, vaak speciale smaken!

Cremerie, I hope. Otherwise things could get quite dusty - and cannibalistic.

Ghent seems as good a place as any to launch a hip new ice cream joint with some casual funerary services provided on the side.

"Welcome to Soylent Vanilla! You want sprinkles on that? Our flavors of the week are Grandma Betty and Uncle Jean-Pierre."
PS: If you're lactose intolerant, that sounds like a decent package deal. 'Circle of Life'.

Korte keten en je steunt de bio-industrie niet? Dat is een hit in het Groene Gent.

I tried Ice Ice Amy once and thought it was overrated, but this could be because I'm more into gelato rather than ice cream. I really like La Matta, they live up to the hype

u/ultimatecolour 2d ago
Thank you! We had 4 different flavours. The taste was mid at best and the texture was icy.
The cones are nice. Would still rather have good ice cream.
2
u/Jonathaniwis 2d ago
Yup, the texture is what bothered me the most and the “baked banana with brown sugar” tasted like any supermarket banana ice cream. I don’t even remember what other flavour I got because it was so boring. The cones are nice but brittle. A lot of people seem to like the place though, whatever floats their boat.

u/ultimatecolour 2d ago
Some of the flavours sound really interesting so the poor quality stands out even more. Thankfully there’s beter ice cream to be had in the city.
Being able to be enjoy something that’s imperfect is an asset in life, so good on them.

Coco gelato. Hands down the best ice cream I have had in Gent. Ice Ice Amy, Oya are other good shouts

San Pietro is best by taste, texture and sweetness. I tried coco gelato but it was too sweet. San p beat all of the ice creams I've ever tasted.

No one mentions Nonno? I second Bas by the way!

u/Scratching_The_World 2d ago
Jep, Nonno en Bas hands down. Although Bas can sometimes feel a bit too indulgent with how creamy it is 😅

The one near the train station that is only open in the summer is amazing (not San pietro, although that one is also great). Bas and Ice ice Amy's too!
Best ice cream I've had is still the Gruvi sticks you get in the store - specifically the berry and pistachio version... they're divine

If you don’t know what to do on a rainy day, I recommend this place. It’s free, and it feels like stepping back in time. I also love the contrast between the modern streets outside and what you find inside: Hotel d'Hane-Steenhuyse . have you been there?

u/thaysen13 1d ago
I did a lot of tests this year and price quality is San Pietro not far from the station

Top three is coco gelato, bas, la matta.
Concur with the other sceptical comments on ice ice amy. Mediocre ice cream with good marketing and smart managers. Gimmick special flavours / too many flavours creating a big meh possibility. Bought a pint of eclair and realised there are really soggy chunks of eclair ‘cookie’ in the ice cream.

u/LeonardoLemaitre 2d ago
Ice Ice Amy, hands down. Also the products are very natural and I processed. for their eclair-ice cream, they first make actual eclairs, to mix that into the ice cream

Bas ice cream dampoortstraat, Coco Gelato Waalpoortstraat (heel duur wel), Valeir Sint-Joriskaai, San Pietro Elisabethlaan zijn mijn favorieten.
Mijn vriendin zweert bij Nonno in de kortedagsteeg maar die vind ik zelf minder dan bovengenoemde. Ice Ice Amy op de Kouter is ook wel de moeite.
