Monte Pelmo in Jordaan

Best icecream in the city. The people in production are sweeter than the icream itself :)

Delicious ice cream, variety of options, fast service.

I got the Stracciatella (after reading the reviews) and Chocolate with Chocolate Chip. I would get the chocolate w/ chocolate chip next time I come back. Was perfection and not too sweet!

There were a lot of flavours There was a line but I didn’t have to wait so long

One of my flavours out of three was slightly mixed up due to miscommunication but overall the options flavours were plentiful and the melon gelato was very sweet and flavourful along with the dark chocolate ice cream.

This is up there with the best gelato I've had anywhere. The cones were excellent and obviously fresh; of course the waffle cones are good in Holland, but these were especially good. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The proprietor obviously takes pride in making such excellent ice cream and informed us that the blue ice cream is made specially with spirulina to make it healthier (and blue). I admit I stole a taste from my daughter's - just perfect. If I'm back in Amsterdam again, I know where I'll be going. Even their dog is sweet and begs so politely, that he almost managed to get something from me.

White chocolate and pistachio! Raspberry cheesecake! 😍😍😍

Great variety of vegan options. But the taste is okay, we have better ice creams in Brazil

Totally worth the walk! Monte Pelmo is a hidden gem about 15 minutes from the city center and the walk is actually a bonus! You’ll pass cool shops and see more of the city. The ice cream is amazing. I love the salted caramel creamy, rich, and way better than others I’ve tried. Not expensive either. Definitely a must-try in Amsterdam!

I was not impressed and don't understand the hype about this place. Maybe it's because there aren't many ice cream parlors in Amsterdam.

Follow @thegourmetscoop on Instagram for the best ice cream reviews, or check out my Google map for the cream of the crop 🥰 This was absolutely delicious gelato, amazing flavours and super creamy. I heard about it as one of the Taste Atlas top 100 gelaterias worldwide, and I agree! Absolutely worth a visit and worth the calories. Mocha 5/5 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🤩 Hazelnut 5/5 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🤩

If you want good ice cream in Amsterdam, this is the place. One of the best in the city. And in the beautiful Jordaan neighborhood.

The sorbets are the best, dark chocolate, lime/lemon, mango.

The service was great, it offers a high quality ice cream with economical price. Besides,the owner is very kind and helped us repair our bike during our trip. It is definetely a must-see when visiting the city!

Great icecream: left vegan/ right milkmade icecream ( my favorite : milkmade chocolate icecream with bits in it with whipped cream, ofcourse!)

We came to the gelato shop twice in the evening in advance before closing. The worker closed the queue just before us, and was rude and super mean. One time we saw people coming out with ice from there, and when we got there they rejected to sell us ice cream. This is just ridiculous. We understand that there might be too many customers , so we can’t, actually , be served. But it never got explained to us. And this is not a reason to be rude to your customers. The owner needs to change his attitude towards customers who bring money to his business.

Highly praised ice cream factory with delicious ice cream flavors, but for €2.40 it has to taste good ;-)

Amazing ice cream. This is so popular. Long lines. Tried the salt caramel, stragitella and dark chocolate. Liked the salt caramel and stragitella.

When you are near, a must-visit salon.

Some of the best ice cream I've had on this trip.

Really fantastic ice cream, I was here for the first time and took flavors that I usually take when I eat Italian ice cream, really the best ice cream ever

Very good address! The ice creams are incredible!

Yummmmy😋😋 loved the ice cream at this place and their delicious flavors. The staff soooo friendly and so nice🥹 there was a line in front of the shop, but it goes fast. If you ever visit Amsterdam, don’t miss trying their ice cream, totally worth the visit.

Workers were super nice, and the gelato was not bad. The problem was - what I’m assuming to be - the owner, that came and started being a beetch to the workers complaining about the queue outside. Get yo ass behind the counter if it’s too busy, instead of talking to your employees like they are slaves.

Fantastic ice cream. Really efficient servers so the long queue went down really quickly. I had white chocolate and vanilla and was very tasty. Highly recommended.

Here is the old history local ice cream place. Every time is long line of the Dutch neighbors. Not so much tourists. I ate a vanilla is good sweet I order everytime . and one scoop is very big. Cheers!

Loved the cookie dough topping and the dark chocolate ice cream but the pistachio flavor was too salty and weird taste… However the staff is super kind and I loved the fact that they have kid’s size ice cream that everyone can order!

Very tasty ice cream in delicious flavours. Extensive selection of flavours made without milk, so for lactose intolerant people and vegans.

All the ice cream we tasted was very delicious. The cone is also very delicious. 1 scoop 2.4 €

Probably the best Gelato in de Jordaan. They got plenty of (unique) flavours, both taste and texture wise the gelato is really good. The portion size is very fair and the service is friendly. What more can I ask, definitely check them out!

Self made ice cream with nice texture snd many flavours. Customer service is also quick and friendly.

Ice cream was really nice, but there are big queue almost always and girl messed up our order because of loud noise. So bf left out with ice cream he did not like.

Great gelato at a super reasonable price!

Delicious delicious delicious and there is nothing more to say. Just delicious 😋

Most random gelato ever: overpriced, got a cinnamon cone for no reason, hazelnut tastes like nothing mixed with anything. Could have bought 4 magnums for cheaper. Recommended!

Delicious ice cream in a variety of non-vegan and vegan flavors. I had vegan pistachio ice cream. It was fantastic!

Best ice cream in the city! Hands down!

During a recent visit to the Netherlands, I had the pleasure of discovering “Monte Pelmo”, an ice cream shop in Amsterdam that offers a particularly noteworthy gelato experience. Upon entering, one is presented with a considerable selection, featuring approximately 30 different flavours of gelato. I specifically chose the Pistachio and Hazelnut flavours. Both proved to be outstanding. The intensity of the flavour in each was remarkable; the hazelnut tasted genuinely rich and nutty, while the pistachio delivered a deep, authentic taste of the nut. The location of Monte Pelmo is also a significant advantage. It is conveniently situated near several prominent Amsterdam landmarks, including the Anne Frank House, the Amsterdam Tulip Museum, and the Amsterdam Cheese Museum. The surrounding area is also very pleasant, featuring various other eateries and picturesque canals, making it a lovely neighbourhood to explore on foot. Whether you are exploring the area and find yourself desiring a sweet treat, or if the weather is warm and you are seeking something refreshing, stopping here is highly recommended.

Delicious ice cream in Amsterdam

Good pricing and delicious taste! My only concern is that when I asked for a different cone, they said they had to give less ice cream because it wouldn’t fit (even if it clearly could)..

Delicious gelato!! Haven't had any this good since Italy!

Flavors are magnificent! The strachietella was perfection. Recommend to any gelato enthusiast.

I choose strawberry and mango, it was good. But my boyfriend took chocolate and pistachio and the taste was not aligned to our standard . It’s hard to fail making this two Flavours! Sorry but it’s unacceptable

Classic! Delicious vegan ice cream.

Great flavor I liked white chocolate with pistachio

Delicious 🤤 It seems to be a place frequented by locals. It was quite delicious and the portions were satisfying. The one with mango is our favorite 🥭

Delicious gelato, and a nice variety of interesting flavours.

Better than what I've had in Italy. And I've had a lot in Italy.

Very tasty ice cream...the journey there was worth it. There are regular and children's size ice cream scoops.

Very good ice cream, the taste is great. Also the staff were super friendly.

Ice cream parlor with artisanal ice cream and coffee. Lots of ice cream flavors. Ice cream is nice and creamy and the ingredients are well balanced. Scoops are big, the taste is decent and the price is high. Young staff is friendly. Unfortunately no terrace, but two benches against the facade.

Very tasty ice cream, a little vacation in Italy

So helpful with us choosing flavours - would go here again if it wasn’t our last day visiting.

Very good ice cream, great varieties, nice service, 1 scoop 2.40. But super tasty :)

Delicious frozen yogurt! We were happy to come back the next day for this. Friendly service.

Bizarrely delicious ice cream. Recommended!

Lovely gelato, for me a bit too sweet compared to other good places in Amsterdam. Oreo was surprisingly tasty, pistachio was good. No queue as it was cold outside 😄

Delicious ice cream in a nice neighborhood! You may have to wait in line for a while, but that's part of the experience 😊

Very good ice cream! But at 2.40 euros a ball is quite expensive

Very good ice cream. It tastes really good. But you have to expect a queue on hot days.

Many types of vegan ice cream 🍦 they are quite good, but the coffee is really undrinkable, which is a shame

Got red velvet and Limoncello, very good Edit: went back, got the lime cheesecake, also very good

It was delicious. It was also good for the price

Last night, 5 minutes before closing time, I quickly got an ice cream here with my friend. Super friendly staff, despite the late time. I had caramel sea salt and café del nonno (espresso), especially the caramel sea salt was so delicious. Glad we went!

Amsterdam's best ice cream!! Super delicious, with a large selection of vegan flavors. Highly recommended.

Many different flavors of delicious ice cream, nearby? highly recommended

Delicious!!!! Better than many high quality ice creams I’ve tried in Italy👌

After the umpteenth price increase at IJscuypje (3 euros per small scoop!) I tried this one. Highly recommended, this is my new regular ice cream parlour!

We went here twice and it’s just amazing. The ladies are very friendly, even tho it is probably hectic, since there are a lot of people coming at once. They have about 10 vegan flavours I believe. The ice cream itself was dellicious.

Tastiest, creamiest cones in Jordaan! Reasonably priced, friendly service, and perfect for strolling…

Spectacular ! The melon flavored ice cream, the best I've ever tried!

The most delicious gelato in my lifetime. Especially on the pistachio gelato, you cannot find any similar one in any places.

If you haven’t been to Monte Pelmo in Amsterdam yet, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, stop whatever you’re doing and go get some gelato because this place is LEGENDARY. I stumbled upon this little gem in the Jordaan, and I think I might’ve found my new happy place. I was greeted by the friendliest staff (like, I’m talking ‘we could be best friends’ level of nice), and then I was hit with the toughest decision of the day: what flavors to choose! After much deliberation (and maybe a little panic), I went for pistachio, hazelnut, and a wild card—stracciatella. And let me tell you, it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. The pistachio? So good, I’m convinced they’re grinding the nuts by hand in the back or something. The gelato was perfectly creamy, not too sweet, and full of real-deal ingredients. I was basically transported to an Italian vacation without leaving Amsterdam. Oh, and the portions? Huge! I practically needed a forklift to carry my cone. If you love gelato (and who doesn’t?), do yourself a favor and get to Monte Pelmo. Your taste buds will thank you. Just be prepared—you might never settle for average ice cream again.

The taste was awesome 😍 I wanted a milkshake and you can try 3 scoop in a milkshake and I asked them to suggest me the flavors. They were really kind and helped me choose vanilla, American cookies and muffin strawberrie and I loved that. There may be a little waiting time.

We had a lovely lady who served us pretty well even tho it was super busy and hectic. We had a little misunderstanding with a flavour and she quickly fixed it without problems 🫶🏽

I must say: very tasty ice cream. Slightly less full/creamy than, for example, a Massimo, but certainly no less tasty. I had the combination orange cheese cake and chocolate 😍

The best varied selection of Vegan Gelatos nestled down a quiet street, we had them as milkshakes and they were amazing. Zoom into photos for flavours. You can also have gelatos in a cup or cones and apparently they make waffles too. We came back twice during our trip to get our chocolate milkshake fix! Very clean environment and lovely staff. Would most definitely recommend.

Hazelnut and coconut tastes like water not icecrean

Amazing! Get the pistachio - you won’t be sorry.

Milkshake and ice cream very good

Best ice cream shop in town Unfortunately there are few seating options Ice Cappuchino is more than top

It's fine ice-cream. A family place so I support it

Tasty ice cream! Lots of choice of flavours. Price/quality is top!

Many vegan choices, flavors you don’t find elsewhere!

Best ice cream in Amsterdam. Good quality quantity relationship

The ice cream is some of the best I've ever eaten. It was very tasty and creamy. The restaurant is off the main tourist routes, but can be thoroughly recommended. The ice cream selection is large and offers something for every taste. For comparison, my benchmark is always the Stracciatelle variety, this was not bourbon vanilla but had a lot of chocolate chips and met my requirements for this variety exactly. The price starts at €2.20/ball and reduces with the number of balls taken per bag. For the city I think the price is justified.

It's unbelievable how life can surprise you again and again. Another enrichment for my tongue.

Fantastic selection of vegan and non-vegan sherbets and ice cream. Among my favourites (I haven't tasted them all): mango, passion fruit, dark chocolate, hazelnut, chocolate with pieces of chocolate, mocha... I could go on. The long queue on warm summer nights moves quickly. Enjoy!

The ice cream was one of the best that i could eat in my entire life, and i had a lot of ice cream 😉 people were nice !

Very good gelato not too sweet that’s the bonus

Overrated. Pistachio had a strange aftertaste

We didn't get to try the ice cream. In a very unpleasant way they closed the door in our faces and didn't even ask out of fear they let us in. We were the only ones in line, it was not difficult to serve one more person.

Yesterday we ate another delicious ice cream at Monte Pelmo. It is and remains my favorite ice cream shop. Also many vegetarian and gluten-free choices, my favorite is the vegetarian hazelnut.

Very good ice cream, welcoming staff

The ice cream is really good, but the portions are way too small.

Lots of vegan ice cream (>14 flavors), super tasty and nice service :) 2.2€/ball

Excellent vegan options, best around.

I tried this place twice recently. I reached the conclusion that it has popularity because it is well located. But it is mediocre. I prefer riding my bike 10 mins longer for a gelato at Massimo. The difference is remarkable. I believe it lies in the quality of the raw materials. While the pistachio gelato at Massimo has an honest taste, this one tasted as if it was from some sort of essence or aroma that assimilates pistachio. I wont give it a third try. I suggest they raise the price just a bit and use higher quality ingredients.

A great spot for authentic Italian gelato, offering a wide variety of flavors that are truly delicious. The scoop sizes are generous. While outdoor seating may be limited, it's perfect for a quick grab-and-go treat. The staff are warm and welcoming.

On the recommendation of a colleague, I got a vegan ice cream here. Multiple vegan flavors and even a vegan/gluten-free cone. Staff is super friendly and the ice cream is delicious. Definitely come here more often.
