Summer feels most iconic when the sun shines and you’re hastily enjoying a melting ice cream, doesn't it? The mix of scorching heat and delightful frozen treat is one of humanity’s greatest achievements. In the last decade or so, artisanal ice cream has increased in popularity, introducing new flavours, and Zagreb has wholeheartedly embraced this revolution. These are the top spots for ice cream in the capital.
Amelie
Vlaška 6A favourite cake shop among locals and visitors, Amélie has an irresistible selection of ices and a lovely shady terrace on which to linger. Only natural ingredients are used, favouring the fruit’s natural sweetness or honey over sugar. Refined, intense and perfectly delicious.

Masarykova 25
Seriously intense, tasty ice cream in a wide and unusual selection of flavours. Made to an Italian recipe with top quality ingredients and fastidious attention to detail. Served by the spatula and topped off with a crispy waffle.
Crna ovca
Martićeva 14b
The name means “Black Sheep,” but the people have well and truly taken to the delights of these regional ice cream champions since Crna Ovca burst onto the scene a decade or so ago. This is ice cream as it should be, delicious and fun all at once. The flavour list covers all the classics with a few creative choices in there, but you don’t need us to convince you here. Just go and get your ice cream already.
Noublie
Ul. Brune Bušića 16Let your sweet tooth run wild at Noublie. After all, life is to be enjoyed, right? This patisserie in Središće (Novi Zagreb) creates sweet treats in all the colours of the rainbow (and beyond), from exquisite tarts and tartlets to some of the most vibrant cakes you’ll find in the city. Noublie also makes its own ice cream, perfect for when the sun in the city gets a little too boisterous.
