Ice cream shop · Norwich
A queue out the door most sunny afternoons is the first thing you'll notice, and it does move — two or three people serving keeps it ticking, though a pram will need parking outside rather than squeezed in. Inside it's spotless, small, and the family who've run it for years greet everyone the same way whether the shop is empty or twenty deep. The gelato is properly Italian: strawberry, pistachio, mango, lemon, and the Amarena cherry that people come back for, plus a dark chocolate sorbet and seasonal flavours that rotate through the year. One to four scoops, cone or tub, and a two-flavour cone comes in under £5 — good value for the city centre. High chairs and a kids' menu, and the coffee is genuinely excellent if you need one.
