Bonjour, it’s Théo 👋
Summer’s here, the weather is hot in Paris !
What’s better than an ice cream to chill your body temperature and taste some delicious flavors while walking in a beautiful park ? (Nothing !)
Each summer, a lot of pop-up stores open and some famous restaurants make their own selection of ice cream flavors, but it can be difficult to know which one worth the try !
That’s why in this letter, I will give you 5 places where you can try fantastic ice creams this summer 👌
Berthillon
31 Rue Saint-Louis en l'Île, 75004 Paris
Located in the center, in the beautiful Île-Saint-Louis, Berthillon is absolutely iconic ! This is the most famous ice cream shop in Paris and they also serve their creations in plenty of Parisian brasseries.
You can eat your ice cream in the café inside, but it will be far less expensive if you eat them as a takeaway.
A quick tip for you : enter the shop without waiting and go to the back, there is a counter where you can buy a box of ice cream if you don’t want to wait a long time 😉
All the flavors worth the try, but I recommend the “Citron-Coriandre-praliné” : it really tastes like a lemon cake !
REŸS
4 Rue du Bourg Tibourg, 75004 Paris
This small shop near the Hotel de Ville is one of my favorite ice cream shops of all time ! Each ice cream is inspired by a travel, with flavors from Thailand, India or South of France.
You can find a tzatziki ice cream, or my favorite one : “Balade à Bangkok” with coconut milk and rice pudding inside ❤️
Glazed
54 R. des Martyrs, 75009 Paris
Glazed is this kind of ice cream shops that always have new original creations. It can look a bit weird sometimes but we are always surprised about how delicious they are !
Last year they made a bellpepper & chili ice cream, now you can find popcorn flavor or my favorite one : Pandan, an Asian plant that tastes a little bit like coconut. 🥥
JJ Hings
5 Rue de la Grange aux Belles, 75010 Paris
This place doesn’t look attractive at all. It’s a small new shop without even a proper sign on the front. But I promise, you will LOVE IT !
JJ Hings is a new ice cream shop that just opened this summer in Paris. They have a precise list of flavors but all of them are absolutely fantastic. You can try peanut butter flavor for example, and they also provide other icy creations as Ice cream sandwiches !
Glaces Moustache
63 Rue de Bretagne, 75003 Paris
Let’s finish with one of the best !
Moustache has won an ice cream world cup with their “Amour de glace” flavor (vanilla, caramel and nougatine) : this one is delicious but a bit classic !
If you come to their shop, you HAVE TO try all the original ice creams that they make ! You can discover Paris-Brest, with chunks of pastry inside, Tiramisu or even one of my all-time favorites : the Banoffee ice cream !
