- A Hello Kitty bubblewrap waffle has arrived in London
Hello Kitty Fans - and we know there are a lot out there - should be up for this new appearance of her on the London food scene. There have been Hello Kitty pop-up cafés before - but this time behold the Hello Kitty Bubblewrap!
It's a collaboration with Bubblewrap Waffle in Chinatown and is a red velvet waffle base filled with rose and strawberry gelato and topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, fresh
... - Ben and Jerry's are serving up bagel ice cream sandwiches in Soho
Yes we know the best of the Summer may well be behind us, but we're still up for as much ice cream as we can handle (i.e. a lot). And as such, we quite love the idea of the latest Ben and Jerry's creation - the Ice Ice Bagel. Yes indeed, that's a bagel ice-cream sandwich (made with Scotland's Bross Bagels).
There are two on offer - and they are:
- Birthday Bagel – A pink
- Mamasons is bringing their Filipino "dirty" ice cream to Chinatown
This will be the second site for Mamasons, with the previous one opening in Kentish Town in 2017. If you’ve not been or are unfamiliar with the concept of Filipino “dirty" ice cream, it’s basically the nickname used to describe ice cream made in a steel drum with ice and salt in the hawker markets of Manila.
- Try glow-in-the-dark ice cream and inhale vanilla fog at SCOOP from Bompas & Parr
South London Willy Wonkas Bompas & Parr are at it again, this time with a seasonal ice-cream exhibition in King’s Cross that celebrates the dessert - with more than a few immersive installations.

... - Bleeding burgers, boozy popsicles, the return of Rita's and more - your weekly news round-up
From more bleeding burgers to the return of Rita's, we bring you all the news that was fit to print (but we just didn't get around to covering elsewhere this week)...
- Blondies Kitchen are popping up in Carnaby with soft serve milk ice cream and cookies
To us, very little says summer more than soft-serve ice cream (or just "soft ice cream" as we used to know it). So we're very much looking forward to the next pop-up from Blondies Kitchen, which takes their usual milk and cookies offering to the next level.
They'll be serving up the soft serve ice cream - made with Jersey milk and Guernsey cream - combined with a cookie topping (and their
... - Meet the Avolato - Selfridges' Insta gelato hit
So this is rather cute. In an attempt - successful we'd say - to up the ice-cream game as we hit summer, Selfridges have introduced this crazily Insta-friendly dessert in their Food Hall.
Available from the Snowflake gelato counter, the Avolato is made from 60% hass avocado, served in the avocado skin, with an editlbe nut butter stone. It's vegan, dairy and gluten-free and looks freakishly like an actual avocado. Fancy it? It'll set you back
... - Yolkin's going permanent with a Rupert Street ice-cream parlour
If you've never made it down to Sammie Le's ice-cream pop-up you can now try her permanent parlour in Chinatown selling ice-cream, milkshakes and the macaron ice-cream sandwiches that are her signature.
- Gelupo teams up with other Soho restaurants to create brand new flavours
When a mint Cornetto just won’t cut it, artisan gelateria Gelupo (from the Bocca Di Lupo team) is always a winner, particularly now they’ve announced a brilliant-sounding collaboration project with seven Soho restaurants.
The upshot of the collaboration will be a set of new, highly creative flavours with each restaurant bringing their own international influence. So, that’ll mean Hawaiian-style chilli and
... - A baklava ice-cream sandwich is coming to London
We know a LOT of people go weak at the knees for a baklava - so this should prove irresistable. In Stoke Newington, The Lacy Nook has just launched a baklava ice-cream sandwich. It's a "Nutty Baklava with flor de latte ice cream (made by Nonnas Gelato), strawberry-mango compote & mint."
So if you're after that next-level baklava - you know where to go.
What: The Lacy
... - Little Moons brings black espresso ice cream to Selfridges
Is that cup of expresso just not doing it for you? Need a more instant hit of caffeine? Then this shot of express in ice cream form may fit the bill.
It's from a new pop-up in the Selfridges Food Hall, Little Moons, who will be selling their mochi ice cream. The Black Espresso Shot also mixes that shot with raw activated charcoal made from coconut shells - so it's ticking all the boxes for the trends of
... - Ben and Jerry's is popping up in Soho for the Summer
Ben and Jerry's are setting up shop in Soho for the summer with their Summer in Soho ice cream shop and they're celebrating the only way they know how - by giving away free ice cream. Because, let's face it, who DOESN'T like free ice cream.
So if you want to grab a scoop (they think they'll be giving away more than 2000) then head down there on Thursday. And you can even try one of their new flavours like Sweetest
... - Iceclairs are coming to Melba at the Savoy. Summer is sorted.
Now, THIS is what you need in hot weather. Forget about normal eclairs, you'll be wanting ICEclairs. These are coming to the patisserie shop Melba that's part of the Savoy hotel. They've been created by the Savoy’s executive pastry chef, Ludwig Hely and are, yes, ice-cream filled eclairs.
You can pick which ice cream you want - including pure dark chocolate, Sicilian pistachio, salted caramel and wild berries.
... - Chin Chin Club brings nitrogen ice cream and cakes to Soho
7/6/17 - updated with launch details
