Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The lady is very friendly and polite. The ice cream is phenomenal. I highly recommend!"
"This really is one of the best ice cream shops in the world. At the moment it’s only open on the weekend, but that may well just be because of the season. I’ve been coming here for over a decade & it never fails to disappoint. I always get Navette, a delicate orange flower flavour with bits of Marseille’s emblematic biscuit mixed in. Today I also indulged in a second scoop of Pear sorbet & wow! It was so fresh with so much pear flavour & full of bits of real juicy pear. Everything is artisanal & they clearly do not use synthetic colouring or anything artificial. It used to be that the table section in front was for ordering from the menu, not for ice cream that one takes out on one’s own, but that doesn’t seem to be the case right now, and again, that may well be because of the season. In addition to ice cream by flavour they have a selection of gorgeous ice cream deserts. (Those are what one usually orders through a waiter in the outside section.) The place really is so friendly and the ice cream is so marvellous; if you’re in the area you really must stop by."
"My second time at this family owned ice cream shop. The ice cream was delicious and homemade and presented beautifully. The flavors change daily so it's always a surprise. They also provide plenty of outside seating which is rare. Highly recommend!"
"Great ice cream! Went there twice - almost three times, but only when about to pay we realized they only accept card for purchases above 15€"
"DELICIOUS sorbet. Would definitely recommend going for a fruit flavor. They have so many unique ones that we’ve never seen before. Would recommend passion fruit"
"It's probably the best ice cream place in Marseille. Many flavour and speciality ice cream are available. Great location near the harbour. The ladies were super helpful and friendly. There are tables outside to enjoy your coffee and ice cream and watch the world go by."
"Very nice place for ice cream, and a special sort of ice cream. My friend and I were informed that this is one of the best places to get ice cream, and perhaps one of the best in France. So we visited, there was a line, a small line, and there was outdoor seating which was full. So we got our ice cream, I 3 flavors and for my friend 2 flavors, and we began to enjoy the ice cream. It was pretty good. It was a very thick ice cream and certainly deserving of the colloquial award of the best ice cream place. Certainly a place to visit."
"Very nice, self-made ice cream and other specialties, all very tasty, with a small sitting area in the shade"
