  • Exceptional gelato, like no where else in London. Great flavours that seem to change every time I walk past.

  • nice. not much choice but it is REAL ITALIAN gelato as it should be. try pistacchio and hazelnut! very disappointed by the granita, icy and way overpriced: a medium cup, which was smaller than a paper cup(!!!) 4£. it didnt taste nothing like back home or even close to it :(

  • A bit icy and melty, and sometimes too sweet. I appreciate their effort to use fresh ingredients and to make it from zero, but still a lot to improve. J ice cream fan

  • It's not easy for me to write this as I've been a huge fan of Gelupo ever since it opened, but feel like the quality and selection have gone down a bit in recent months. The gelato menu is not as interesting as it once was and the ice cream is tending towards being just slightly too sweet and at the expense of flavour. Had the strawberry sorbet the last time I visited and dare I say it, it was not great. Not sure if anyone agrees so am posting this to see if anyone whose been there since the early days agree. Still good gelato but no longer great and these days I prefer La Gelateria down by Trafalgar.

  • Quite possibly the best ice cream in London. After recently returning from Italy, the home of ice cream, I still prefer Gelupo. Wonderful exciting flavours and all at reasonable prices. Forget the gelato Mios, Fredo (what a disappointment), this is the place to go!

  • Gelupo serves the best gelato I've had in London - and better gelato than many places in Italy, too! Wow. Tasting is possible, and the staff were friendly and lively.

  • Oh my god. The best gelato in town. Hands down. I was served by the chef (i think) which was a nice touch and had raspberry, chocolate and coconut. The coconut was amazing. I've been all over Italy, I've been to NY, and to Freggo, Scoop, Gelatorino, Amorino, and all the rest. This is the best. Creamy, vibrant flavours. V. nice people too.

  • We snuck into this little ice-cream place during the interval of Thriller - amazing. Super-smooth pistachio and the best chocolate sorbet EVER! The girl behind the counter was really sweet, forcing little tastes of everything on us, then making hubby the "most interesting" espresso he's had in London. Packed, with a haphazard queueing system, but awesome!

  • The ice cream is good, but quite on the low-fat side, and I can taste the (all natural, according to the website) additives meant to keep it together without the fatty stuff. So, less guilt, but also less satisfaction. Since gelato is a rare treat for me anyway, I rather go for the cream-rich, calorie-laden decadent variety, as made by GelatoMio, Oddono or Freggo.

  • What happened to Gelupo recently?! Went there Thursday night, bringing some friends there. The guy serving us was SO rude, unbelievable... He introduced himself as the 'owner' of the place. I was so embarassed with his attitude, we left after 2 samples. Gelupo: NO GRAZIE! PS: I'm also returning my loyalty cards LOL
