The 10 best ice cream shops in Lyon

Yummy ice cream. Nice and tangy raspberry. White peach felt a bit too bland in comparison. The queue was so long but the line moved up quite quickly. Handing out the menu for people lining up was a great idea. When you get to the counter, pay first by letting them know how many scoops you would like. Then you queue up again for ordering the flavors you want.

This was the best ice cream I had in Lyon! I’ll never forget the rich, creamy texture of the gelato and its incredible flavor. If you’re visiting Lyon, this place is an absolute must-visit! The watermelon and vanilla flavors were absolutely delicious. My only regret is not being able to visit again before leaving.

That day the weather was quite unpredictable — raining and sunny on and off. The ice cream was good, but the dark chocolate flavor was really, really bitter, with a slightly sour aftertaste — much more bitter than at other shops. The tiramisu flavor, however, was super delicious. In May.

Category: Ice Cream Shop. We were drawn to this shop by the line of waiting patrons. We checked out the posted list of flavors and concluded they were probably not queuing up for the unusual ones, like Ardeche Mountains Hay or Chicory. So what was the draw? As it turned out, it was sorbet that tastes like gelato, and maybe the wide selection of flavors (although I didn’t see the Hay in the freezer case). We chose the banana and dark chocolate. The banana tasted very much like bananas and the chocolate was very dark (not as dark as in Prague, which is my world standard, but still excellent, especially since it was a sorbet, not a gelato). We walked past several times and there isn’t always a queue. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

Good ice cream. Nothing extraordinary for the flavours we got - a blueberry sorbet and a lavender ice cream. The latter was really interesting, though a bit sweeter to my taste. The service is fast and the prices are fair.

The ice cream flavors are so intense and tasty here! We tried dark chocolate and vanilla, which were really good choices. However the lady who served us wasn't really friendly nor even a little smiley..

Delicious gelato and many great flavours to choose from Enjoyed a nice walk through the old town to get here on a,Sunday. Super busy place also has patio seating

The staff here is kind and helpful. I got the basil lemon sorbet, it was amazing.

Superb ice cream, full of flavour and richly so. However, it can be pricier than some other options (€3.5 for a single scoop and €7.5 for 3 scoops), and the scoops can also be smaller than expected – if only the scoops could be larger to make it fair for customers expecting a standard scoop size. The passion fruit sorbet and the roasted pistachio ice cream flavours have a special mention – one of the better ones I've had!

Maybe the best ice cream I’ve had! So creamy! And the orange blossom flavour was so good! The chantilly cream is also a nice topping! Lovely tables to sit at the backyard!

Lots of great vegan sorbet choices - I had the passion fruit, blueberry and strawberry

The beignets are amazing! Had the beignets with framboise sauce and dark chocolate sorbet at the side while Elahe had the beignets with whipped cream and almond paste ice cream. Both highly recommended.

Excellent ice cream place! Really yummy, clever quirky but delicious flavours of both sorbet and ice cream. Very dessert combinations, or a nice little tasting plate of mini scoops in six flavours - perfect if you just want to sample but don't have room for a full ice cream.

Love the sorbet here and ice cream. Great full flavors of the fresh fruits and soo refreshing in this weather. The staff were all friendly…such a nice bright colorful store and smiley people inside. Highly recommended.

the ice cream tasted like something you’d buy at a supermarket … nothing special at all. considering the price (and even more so the fact that it’s more expensive to eat it on the spot than to take it to go), i expected something handmade and fresh, maybe even prepared in front of me. unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. quite disappointing 😔 p.s. the ice cream in the photo cost me €10.50 😊

THE BEST ICE CREAM IVE HAD. The flavors were strong and flavorful. soooooo goood I cant even describe it all natural and homemade. 1000% recomend going here if your in the area

Lots of interesting desserts. Crepes are very tasty, ice creams too, but too small portions for the price

Beautiful terrance delicious ice cream 🍦 impressed by ice water good service, if you visit vieux Lyon don’t forget here

I liked the flavors I had. I recommend it. It costed 7,5 euro, to go. 😊

Love this place ❤️ Great to have a late Ice Cream with Crepes after mid night in a summer weekend 😁

They used to serve good ice-cream. Today the shop is always flooded with people waiting in the long line. Most of the ice-cream I tried was too mind in taste. The service is always rushy and you cannot taste their ice-cream before making a decision.

Macaroons and icecream was fantastic! Very efficient staff provided a quick service.

Your standard tourist gelato/icecream spot with many flavors. Nothing too special, a bit pricy for the serving size.

The gelato is really amazing. I'm Italian and this was shockingly good! Lovely to walk about the old town, but definitely pricey! €6.50 for a double come with whipped cream. The staff was also very polite.

Fully recommend ice cream and hot chocolate with macaroon. I ordered chocolate, pistachio and stracciatella ice cream, it's given in a flower shape. I think I will be visiting again.

Bonne glaces! Especially the chocolate sorbet (bio) is excellent!

So delicious! The flavors may be fewer than the nearby shops but the quality here is next to none! I was pleasantly surprised by their yogurt flavor pairing with other fruity flavors - worth every calorie! The line inside is a bit congested hence only 4 stars but would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for late night gelato

The sorbet was great, amazing lemon flavour. The gelato was a bit hard, I guess so it can stand firm with their gimmicky flower shaped serves. It had a pronounced cream flavour, but the pistachio was a bit muted

It says it opens at 14h30 but at 15hrs nobody shows up. Confirms previous bad experience Ice cream ok but Owner most unfriendly and rude

16 euro for 3 average quality ice creams. Sat down and was asked to pay extra for using their tables and chairs…(mostly empty)

Really good ice-cream with increadibly nice staff. They allowed us to taste most of the ice-cream and being super nice while doing so.

Very delicious, but a bit too expensive

This place’s ice-cream is nothing too special, but I don’t see why not give it 5 stars, I was there when it was “busier than usual” and I waited like 10 minutes, but I enjoyed stracciatella and caramel flavors, and they were remodeling it, so if you see that this review is like 1-3 months old, they’re probably done, but besides that this place was pretty good!

The worst ice cream I have ever had, like liquid it is a soup, sorry there is no Zero star 😁 because they have also the worst service in Lyon, I do not recommend this ice cream, you can find much better ice cream with better service (it is not difficult) ony few blocks away

Good ice cream with odd prices. I didn't experience bad service like many have mentioned, so I will be back again for some gelato in the future.

High quality chocolate, waffle is very crispy and good mixed with chocolate. Warm place , amazing staff, great service. Highly recommend!

This is a small off the beaten path place, so good. You'll want to try everything and come back for more.

Fun place for chocolate fondue! We got the darkest chocolate fondue option, and it came with pineapple, banana, strawberries, brownies, cookies, some pound cake like dessert, and marshmallows! We also got cold chocolate drinks, which were like blended hot chocolate. Not super chocolately, but maybe that’s because we got one with 60-something % cacao. Next time I’ll try the hot chocolate option. Overall it was a fun experience

Came here for the chocolate fondue and it didn't disappoint! Lots of different chocolates to choose from and a nice selection of dipping items. Other foods looked amazing as well. Will definitely come again and try more!

Nice staff, we had fun and they sure have some humor. Food was perfect, not too much and we got out full and feeling nice. My main topic would be the hot chocolate. It is the only place where they're respectful with cocoa. It was nice, smooth and finally they only added enough sugar so it was perfect. I only with they could do other hot chocolates like with peanut butter, or hazelnut purée and spices inside, stuff like this. Thank you

Incredible! I tasted a crepe with caramel chocolate and it was absolutely wonderful. I will definitely return as there are still many types of chocolate to taste!

Warm place , amazing staff, great service, and the most important is they use a high quality chocolate like Valronah . Keep it up

During a hot day's walking this place was an Oasis. Air conditioned. A range of excellent flavours. Considerate service. We both had the double flavour cones which were generously filled. €11 was not cheap but fair.

Incredible selection of gelato and tastes amazing. Staff were friendly and got to taste before choosing.

The ice creams are amazing. The flavours and the presentation of the Ice creams are great. Recommended!

Excellent 🤣👍

Super,,,👍

Excellent

Great ice cream ...

Really good products, at the same price than others in the neighborhood, but with fresh and homemade products. Staff was very kind too.

Undoubfully, the best ice cream I have tried in Lyon!

Unique flavors, creative artistic gelato! Really impressed us.

The best one! I need to go to Lyon to taste more...

The best ice cream in France.

Unique flavors. Great staff.

Never ever going to come back, at least until i become millionaire. The autoservice system makes you not be aware of how much you are spending. Way too expensive even though the quality is great but definetely not worth it.

You can craft your own yogurt and let your imagination take form! And the end result is YUMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! 😃 And the cashiers are nice!

Very tasty, a variety of toppings, polite staff. I prefer coconut ice cream)

Very delicious. Best yoghurt ice cream in Lyon.

Super

(Translated by Google) A delight. This store has a lot of frozen yogurt flavors and the toppings are fresh. (Original) Un délice. Ce magasin présente un grand nombre de parfum de yaourt glacé et les topping sont frais.

(Translated by Google) Place discovered thanks to friends. Now that I'm going there, I would like it to be recommended in my turn. It's a great, quiet and welcoming place. A wide choice of yogurt flavors and ingredients. Correct price 2.30 euros per 100 grams. The yogurt is very good. You have to go there if you need refreshment. (Original) Endroit découvert grâce à des amis. Maintenant y être aller, je souhaite le recommandé a mon tour. C'est un super endroit calme et accueillant. Un large choix de parfum de yaourt et d'ingrédients. Prix correct 2,30 euros les 100 grammes. Le yaourt est très bon. Il faut y aller si vous avez besoin d un rafrechissement.

(Translated by Google) Small, unpretentious pastry shop. The receptionist is friendly and the service is fast. The location is good. Nothing exceptional but I recommend it for very decent quality considering the prices charged. A bakery with frozen products in my experience (maybe not all.) (Original) Petite pâtisserie sans prétention. La personne a l’accueil est sympathique et le service est rapide. La localisation est bonne. Rien d’exceptionnel mais je recommande pour une qualité très correcte aux regards des tarifs pratiqués. Une boulangerie avec des produits surgelés d’après mon expérience (peut être pas tous.)

(Translated by Google) Very good pastry shop which opened on September 6. The pastries we tasted (Mont Blanc and Cabosse Royale) were very good, not too sweet, well balanced. There is also bread and pastries. As well as poke and salads, perfect for a midday snack. We will come back :) (Original) Très bonne pâtisserie qui vient à ouvert le 6 septembre. Les pâtisseries qu'on a goûté (mont blanc et la cabosse royale) étaient très bonnes, pas trop sucrées, bien équilibrées. Il y a du pain et des viennoiseries également. Ainsi que des poke et des salades, parfait pour un en cas le midi. Nous reviendrons :)

(Translated by Google) Small espresso with a piece of caramelized apple cake. The balance of flavors is there, a pretty showcase with quality products. Great discovery, the saleswoman is smiling and pleasant. I recommend this warm place (Original) Petit expresso avec une part de cake pomme caramélisées. L'équilibre des saveurs est au rdv, une jolie vitrine avec des produits de qualité. Belle découverte, la vendeuse est souriante et agréable . Je recommande ce lieu chaleureux

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant, courteous and smiling welcome Attractive showcase I tried Mont Blanc and Cabosse, very good pastries not too sweet, perfect sugar balance for me Croissants and pain au chocolat at the same price €1.20! Advertised as pure butter, although honestly I have a big doubt, not crispy at all, not the "fatty" side that we find in pure butter. It could be a troubleshooting, it could happen. I will return to test in a while. I recommend 2 days ago I had a clarification, the pastries are not homemade at all, but by the baker who supplies the bread. (Original) Accueil très agréable, courtois et souriant Vitrine alléchante J'ai testé Mont Blanc et Cabosse, très bonnes pâtisseries pas trop sucrées, équilibre du sucre parfait pour moi Croissants et pains au chocolat au même prix 1.20€! Annoncés comme pur beurre, bien honnêtement j'ai un gros doute, pas croustillants du tout, pas le côté "gras" que l'on retrouve dans du pur beurre. Il se peut que ce soit un dépannage, ça peut arriver. Je retournerai tester dans quelques temps. Je recommande J'ai eu il y a 2 jours une précision, jules viennoiseries ne sont pas du tout faites maison, mais par le boulanger qui fournit le pain.

(Translated by Google) Very surprised by the lemon tart, little meringue which brings the right balance between the sugar of the meringue, the moderate acidity of the lemon cream which is counterbalanced by its lemon compote center which sends a kick and all that in a creamy harmony which makes you want to go back, all that at a more than reasonable price. (Original) Très surpris par la tarte au citron, peu de meringue qui apporte le juste équilibre entre le sucre de la meringue, l'acidité modéré de la crème citron qui est contrebalancer par son centre de compote de citron qui envoie un coup de peps et tout ca dans une harmonie onctueuse qui donne envie d'y retourner, tout ça dans un prix plus que raisonnable.

(Translated by Google) Very well kept pastry with lots of choice and new products. The prices are perfectly consistent with the generous portions. Galettes des rois bought today, delicious and cheaper than all the bakeries and pastries around. Not much choice on pastries. I will come back often because French craftsmanship deserves all our encouragement. (Original) Pâtisserie très bien tenue avec bcp de choix et des nouveautés. Les prix sont en parfait cohérence avec les portions généreuses. Galettes des rois acheté aujourd’hui succulente et moins cher que toutes les boulangeries et pâtisseries autour . Pas bcp de choix sur les viennoiseries. Je reviendrai souvent car l’artisanat français mérite tous nos encouragements.

(Translated by Google) New neighborhood pastry shop that will delight the whole family and all palates. Whether it is cakes, individual pastries or more sophisticated large formats we have never been disappointed until now, what's more the prices are reasonable. Finally and as a bonus, one of the only businesses open in the area on Sundays. Looking forward to testing the terrace on sunny days. (Original) Nouvelle pâtisserie de quartier qui ravie toute la famille et tous les palais. Que ce soit les gâteaux, les pâtisseries individuelles ou grand format plus sophistiqués nous n’avons jamais été déçus jusqu‘à présent, qui plus est les prix sont raisonnables. Pour finir et en bonus un des seuls commerce ouvert dans le quartier les dimanches. Impatient de tester la terrasse aux beaux jours.
