Ice cream shops in Olomouc
Olomouc is artisan all the way through, and Italian in style: gelato made on the premises with fruit sorbets beside it, no instant bases and no nut pastes. Limes are juiced fresh, vanilla is steeped in milk, coconut is grated on the spot and the pistachios come from Sicily.
Everything sits in or right beside the historic centre — Na Střelnici, Ztracená and Pavelčákova are minutes apart on foot, so you can compare them in a single afternoon. Flavours rotate quickly, the sorbets carry a high share of fruit, and vegan options, gluten-free cones and speciality coffee are all on hand.
Two of the shops belong to makers with outlets in other Moravian cities, so the same ice cream turns up elsewhere too. In season a stall is added at the Flora exhibition grounds behind pavilion A — the same ice cream as in the café, with a park to sit down in.
