IJssalon IJskoud de Beste in IJplein/Vogelbuurt

Lovely flavours, friendly staff

Nice to eat delicious ice cream with my father and people-watch; easy parking and easily accessible by bike.

Delicious ice cream and other treats. Very nice girls who work there. Helpful and service-oriented.

One of the best ice cream in Amsterdam

The ice cream is good, but they don’t let you try even one flavor, which I’ve never encountered before and seems unreasonable.

Joop's ice cream parlor in Amsterdam North. Here you can get traditional Dutch ice cream in all flavors, whipped cream waffles, or coffee and tea.

Large selection of delicious ice cream, highly recommended.

Lovely ice cream and a wide selection of milk free flavors. Cute shaded terrace on the park

Best gelato in Noord & always efficient, friendly service

NEVER buy dumplings at Ijssalon Ijskoud. My son got a dumpling; it was broken when he bought it, and when we tried to exchange it, the staff was very grumpy, so don't go there.

One star is still too much. My order was cancelled with the excuse that there is only one scooter. When I pointed out that they could simply adjust the delivery radius in Uber Eats to prevent this, the response was dismissive and defensive. First, she claimed it wasn't due to the distance, but then suddenly the distance *was* the problem. It was also stated that they only deliver outside of Noord when it is quiet, whereas they previously indicated it was due to the scooter. In addition to a bizarrely high minimum order amount of 40 euros, you also pay nearly 7 euros in delivery and marketplace fees, but even then, it is too much to ask. The lady on the phone was extremely unfriendly and clearly makes no secret of the fact that she doesn't care if she loses customers. Save yourself the frustration and order somewhere else.

Ordered a Dotcake for 6 euros; the cake inside is just from the supermarket and is nothing special. If you add a slice of cake at home with whipped cream and the remaining ingredients, you won't be robbing yourself. In short, a disappointment and a scam.

Simply a perfect 5 stars!! Sooo delicious ice cream.... Just try it, then there's nothing more to say 👌 Many flavors and the staff is absolutely friendly and helpful!! Prices are absolutely fine.

It's become really expensive. And not nearly as tasty as with the previous owners... they were also a lot friendlier.

Good quality and wide selection

Personally, I think it's the best ice cream in Amsterdam. It's always busy there, but there's enough staff, so you don't have to wait long. It's located right next to a small park, so you can grab an ice cream and take a nice walk through the park.

Yes, just eating an ice cream, not very cozy, nice staff unfortunately

Super friendly staff and waiting never takes long despite the crowds!

Delicious ice cream, desserts, and matcha.

Delicious ice cream!!! Lots of flavors and options!!

I placed an order through Thuiszorg (Home Delivery), and the estimated delivery wait time was 15-25 minutes. After placing the order, I was told I'd have to wait 45 minutes. After waiting an hour, and the tracking status said it would arrive within minutes, it was canceled. Waited an hour for nothing. Extremely poor service.

Very nice ice cream place run by a three sisters, ice cream is tasty, also they service nice coffee and apple pie, recommend

Yum yum, what can I say? A bit of a holiday feeling just around the corner with carefully crafted sorbets and friendly, attentive staff. Even if they have to cross the road to get to the terrace time and time again. Highly recommended :)

Delicious ice cream! I had Kinder Bueno, Ferrero Rocher, and mango. The waitresses are also friendly. Even when it's busy, they say hello when you come in. Others should learn from that. You guys are definitely the best. We'll be back soon!

Delicious ice cream. Tasty desserts.

Baklava ice cream tasted rancid, and I wasn't offered anything. They're starting to get a little carried away.

Avoid at all costs! I placed an order on Uber, they cancelled it, then told Uber that I was the one who cancelled. Now Uber is demanding cancellation fees from me—what a disgrace!

Also open in winter. Delicious ice cream and other treats.

Delicious ice cream highly recommended

Good ice cream shop, lots of flavors, and friendly staff. A bit on the expensive side for ice cream.

What a fantastic ice cream parlor! The ice cream is delicious, wonderful, and full of flavor—just the way you like it. The quality is consistently high, and there's always a surprising flavor. The price is also great: you really get your money's worth. This place has become a household name, even for people from outside the region. Once you've been, you're guaranteed to return. An absolute must for any ice cream lover.

Small scoops of ice cream and stingy

Wafa and Najoua are amazing! All my love to them!

Delicious ice cream! But very busy.

This ice cream is outstanding! Highly recommended!

Great, we came every morning to have our breakfast and everything is excellent, the service is very good

Delicious ice cream, nice staff!

Great ice cream...friendly service;-)

A wonderful place with a cozy atmosphere! So many flavors to choose from, you'll keep trying! Not just ice cream, but also delicious coffee, fresh waffles, and all sorts of sweet treats. Perfect for a cozy outing or just to treat yourself. Highly recommended!

Thank you for the delicious ice cream and the soft ice cream also very tasty, perfect next to the park and there are many other treats, we will be back soon

Expensive and portions are small

very tasty ice cream, but lots of wasps on the terrace

delicious ice cream and friendly staff

What a shame. Been there 3 times since the takeover but what an unhygienic place this has become; windows, ice cream display cases, the floor inside, outside, under the benches, nothing is clean. And that's 3 times not from one day because it's busy, or from children's hands and such. Just not clean.

Finally, an ice cream place that sells good quality ice cream at reasonable prices. They have one option of sugar free ice-cream, ideal for babies or toddlers (one euro for a kinderijse). There are indoor and outdoor sitting possibilities.

Extremely bad ice cream and beverage

The place is messy and confusing, the employees are rude. You have a cross-eyed lady working there, I think she has trouble looking at the taste of the ice cream she scoops, because she can't do that. 2 point nose working there, big mouth of them

Nice ice cream, but too expensive. 2.95 for one tiny scoop

As always pleasantly busy and yet quickly helped. Delicious ice cream, yoghurt cherries and pistachio.

I came here at ijs koud de beste noord and unfortunately I have to admit that they are very stingy!! I got a scoop of ice cream but it looked like butter was spread on a slice of bread. And when I asked if this was normal I got a very arrogant answer with that it is their "normal scoop!" Very rude and not worth coming here.

I came here and it felt like I was not welcome! Very arrogant girls behind the counter and it seems like they don't feel like working. I ordered ice cream and what I got is comparable to spreading butter. When I asked if this was normal I got a rude answer and the girl felt insulted. Very unfortunate, not worth the money.

From ice cold the best to ice cold scammers. I came here for years for the ice cream because it is delicious. It was never cheap but the price quality/quality was still reasonable in proportion. But... Now you pay 2 euros for the smallest scoop ever. I bought half a liter of ice cream for over 12 euros. When I got home it turned out to be less than 200ml. It is the last time for me.

price quality ratio has deteriorated terribly since the new owners….

Great ice cream, plenty of choice, was busy but quickly served. There is flow in this business. Service and friendly service. Gem in the North if I say so myself.

Sooooo many options and the staff is a gem!!! Thanks queen. I really recommend cake batter and dark chocolate. My goodnesss so yummy. There is also an option to get pastries. I had the Dubai chocolate brownie, honestly it was a bit dry. But with a little warm milk poured over it it is delicious again ;)

Waffle is with chocolate sauce from the supermarket, the waffle they sell I also make at home for €1 makes no sense they even have Nutella for the waffles and when you order they cancel your order 9 times out of 10 makes no sense at all

Lovely ice cream parlour, friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. Especially the ice cream selection is overwhelming.

Pricey for small balls but tasty

Fantastically good ice cream parlor and they are so nice.

Really disappointing experience. I ordered a matcha that literally tasted like nothing and also looked very light green, not at all what you expect from 'expensive quality'. And the strawberry syrup was actually jam from the supermarket. The sign said €5.50, but suddenly I had to pay €7 because I had chosen a different milk. Nowhere was it stated that this would cost extra, really misleading. Then the 'Dubai Strawberry'… €11.50 for what? A few strawberries with a big dollop of Nutella (yes, it wasn't even diluted chocolate sauce, just plain Nutella). Way too heavy and really not worth the money. Finally, the employee was not friendly at all, a disinterested attitude as if she was doing me a favor by helping me. No atmosphere, no service. Definitely don't come back here. And just to be clear, it was the salon in the north

Two women came up to me repeatedly as I just sat quietly and listened to music. I ordered a matcha, but the terrace was very unhygienic: it stank there, and I saw one of the women pick her nose without washing her hands. Then she put ice cubes in my drink without gloves. When I said something about this, they became threatening. They said they would call the police if I didn't leave. Their behavior was not only rude and intimidating, but also clearly racist, both towards me and other dark-skinned people who were there.

Delicious ice cream and super fun to be able to eat it with the cows.

Delicious ice cream and also good to take away

Super business! Nice people, nice customers and delicious ice cream, coffee and more. Yesterday for the first time and again tonight

The staff are very Bad and not customer friendly. They are only after money. You order something if it is not good. You cannot exchange it or get your money back or anything else. Greedy people and pushy. Last time and never again. Be warned people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the evening at 10.45 pm we had a delicious ice cream. Wonderful after a hot day. It's nice that the salon is still open so late. The choice of flavors is really large and there is something for everyone to like. So people, for a cold treat, go to IJskoud de Beste.

Visited today for delicious strawberry Dubai Cup. The strawberries were nice and sweet! Very nice girls and delicious matcha.

I'm addicted to the strawberry and raspberry milkshake. Ultimate zen moment for me.

Too bad your tent is not female-friendly. There are more men in line for matcha than women. The men also hang out in front of the door, making it uncomfortable for women to enter. Furthermore, the food is fine, but to go there without flirting around you is impossible.

Tasty desserts and super super friendly staff! I come here not only for the tasty desserts, but also for the nice atmosphere. I CAN RECOMMEND✨

Dirty business. Dirty display cases. Very small balls. Two ice creams; cone with two scoops and bowl with two scoops (1 with whipped cream) were 8.70 (!!!!). Ice cream was tasty. Friendly service. This used to be a great, clean place. Shame :(.

The ice cream always tastes super fresh and the staff is always super nice. Recommended

My little sister (8 years old) orderd a ice cream she sat down after receiving it thinking that I would get the change the woman asked me is this your I said no because I thought my little sister had the change and then we realised she never got her change ( she saved a lot of money I’m not talking about €2 or €5) and then we went back it was a very busy day so we went to the side and my sister explained that she never got her change and then they started that it’s not true and i don’t know I think they thought that we said they stole from us and they yelled and said it’s very busy and told us to get out (I typed this is English so that everyone can understand me ) the people who owned this ice cream shop before we’re much nicer ! Die nieuwe eigenaars zijn vreselijk. Kunnen helemaal niet luisteren naar hun klanten en respect tonen. Ik kom hier niet meer !

The Dubai chocolate trend is crazy, try it with ice cream!

I bought a strawberry jar and literally only had chocolate it tasted like a Nuttela jar

If I could give 0 stars I would. I just went by and it was so gross. The Dubai strawberries were full of nutella instead of pistachio. Never again. And their matcha tastes like lemon water, I stay at my regular location in East Amsterdam, everything there is delicious.

Very disappointing service! I placed an order online for pickup, but when my husband came to pick up the order, he was simply informed that the order had been canceled. The lady behind the counter responded completely nonchalantly and then walked away without further explanation. This is absolutely no way to deal with customers. A real disappointment. We won't be coming back here anytime soon.

Super tasty matcha! Everything was fresh!🎀

very tasty ice cream, macarons and the best coffee I've ever had in the Netherlands.

What a great ice cream shop! The flavors are super delicious and you can really tell that everything is fresh. The service is always friendly, and the interior is very cozy! Highly recommended!

Save your money and don't get your matcha here. Unfortunately it was just milk with vanilla syrup. Had super high expectations for almost 8 euros. Lots of ice cubes. It was also really stingy light green while they use the Yoisho brand?

If I could give zero star I would - ordered €46 worth of food and it was never delivered, tried to contact restaurant plenty of times and no response

Super nice girls. And great ice cream and very friendly. Absolutely great

Only had coffee during the Dam tot Dam walk. Very friendly people, delicious coffee and spoiled with a waffle with whipped cream 😃

Ice cream is really delicious, I wish I could only eat it Star ⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟 After a very long wait for service, our desserts arrived in disarray😱 And our order was incomplete and we did not receive a donut. Carrot cinnamon cake is delicious ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lemon Cheesecake ⭐⭐⭐ We ordered hot waffles, they arrived cold and the strawberries were melted ⭐⭐ Unfortunately we couldn't eat it Recommendations carrot cinnamon cake ice cream When delivering the order, this should be done carefully, not as if you were getting a hamburger from a snack bar. We paid so much money and got such bad service and it took 2 hours. This is our last order

The waiter was playing with her phone, completely in her own bubble, she didn't notice that a customer had been there for 3 minutes, only after I shouted hello did she respond to my voice, sitting outside was nice, it ice too

Very tasty ice cream, also with a good selection of vegan varieties.

Great selection of flavours and very tasty! Will definitely come back!

Bought an ice cream and a milkshake today, milkshake was literally water, the people behind the cash register were rude, made us wait and also forgot our order, and when we pointed this out we got a rude mouth in return, I won't be back. a regular customer for years, but this is really unacceptable

The best of Amsterdam in our opinion

delicious, love the rafaelo ice cream from here!

Super tasty ice cream and friendly staff!

They really are the best! Delicious ice cream.

What delicious ice cream and how well these ladies do it. Big UP ladies. Keep it UP. 🫵🏽💪🏾💥

Have both sorbet and ice cream, both reasonably priced but not special in taste.

Yogurt strawberry, raspberry and blood orange are my favorite flavors. You can also go here for hot drinks such as coffee or tea

Today was the first and last time. I understand when the store is busy and that the staff can become stressed, but telling a customer to "get out of the store" is an excuse? Are you right? I was standing at the ice cream parlor with my family. We were first helped nicely by a young lady. Suddenly another lady comes and asks me in a rude manner if I can continue walking. I was like, it's my turn and I want to see what flavor I want. She started repeating while shouting in between all those people. At first I looked at her very surprised and she looked very aggressively at me. What are you getting involved with and how can I continue if I haven't chosen the flavor yet??? Then she said I can go out. Girl, I don't know your name, but my advice to you: if you can't handle the hustle and bustle, quit your job. You are certainly not customer friendly. Thanks to the customers, you earn your money. Don't forget that and change your behavior. You almost wanted to hit me. What idiotic behavior!! Just embarrassing a customer in front of all those people. Are you right??

Terribly dirty. Since the salon was taken over they have been unsanitary. We just found hairs in the ice. I ordered home delivery and something went wrong. 2 tubs of ice cream with the wrong flavor. They just took this back!!! How dirty is that. We were not allowed to keep the wrong order and were only asked if we wanted a new one. We weren't even compensated!!! Terrible as a regular customer I have to puke 24 scoops of ice cream that they took back will just sell them to someone else 🤢🤮 You didn't discuss anything with me on the phone! There was definitely a hair in there. In any case, you should be ashamed that you sold the ice cream and that they weren't even allowed to keep the other container after opening it...

The name says it all. Delicious ice cream with a lot of choice. Enjoy your meal on the terrace or in the Noorderpark.
