Ice cream shops in Prešov
Prešov divides between the main street and the housing estates. On Hlavná in the centre you will find shops that are part gelateria, part pastry shop: natural gelato and sorbets made fresh each day, a line-up that follows the season, and cakes and ice cream gateaux beside the scoops.
The estates of Sekčov and Šváby are where the tradition runs deepest — one family shop there has been selling ice cream to an Italian recipe longer than any other address in town. The ice cream is made by hand from local ingredients, and in summer the range grows to take in bolder flavours such as lavender or basil with lemon. Vegan and lactose-free options are standard in Prešov, so there is no need to check ahead.
