Sundaes Gelato - 25 Baldwin Street, BS1 1NS
Sundaes is one of the newer dessert parlours in Bristol, and offer a fun, modern setting and a huge array of sweet treats. Their ice cream display is full of some of the most outlandish flavours, and is inspired by all manner of flavours from chocolate bars to cereals! They serve ice cream on its own, or coupled with waffles, crepes, and in a sundae glass. They also serve some delicious fresh coffee, and are open from 8am to midnight every day!
Kaspas - 83 Park Street, BS1 5PJ
Open from 11am to 11pm, Kaspas are famous all over the UK for their incredibly creative sundaes. Along with waffles, crepes, and ice cream, Kaspas serve more homely desserts and classic favourites such as cheesecake, carrot cake, and crumble. There is also an array of coffees and infinitely customisable concoctions of bubble tea to drink, so there really is something for everyone.
Flavalanche – 54 Park Street, BS1 5JN
If you’re sick of all the stodgy puddings that Christmas and Easter inevitably bring, Flavalanche is a great healthy option that is just as sweet and tasty. Frozen yogurt is low sugar, high protein, and virtually fat free, so you’ll undoubtedly keep coming back for more! Each frozen yogurt flavour is set in its own ice cream machine, so feel free to mix and match your favourite flavours in the same bowl. Alongside that, there is an array of toppings that range from fruit to cereal and chocolate. They also serve up tasty bubble tea, and a make-your-own-smoothie bar.
The Parlour – 243 Cheltenham Road, BS6 5QP
The Parlour is Bristol’s finest independent traditional ice cream parlour, serving up a range of artisan ice creams and delicious desserts. They even have a Pancake Day menu, featuring some brilliantly unusual combinations of flavours such as pretzels, peanut butter, and rocky road! If sticky sweet isn’t your thing, there is also a selection of savoury pancakes, with options for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.
Patisserie Valerie – Unit 56 (upstairs) Cabot Circus, BS1 3BA
A long standing touch of class here, and a patisserie that can boast the creation of beautiful handmade cakes since 1926. Patisserie Valerie is only for those seeking something a little indulgent, as the cakes here are almost too beautiful to eat! The interior is designed to look like a gorgeous Victorian kitchen, and the glistening cakes and pastries in the window will no doubt draw you in. Everything they serve is handmade, including the ice cream and huge array of cakes.
Have a great day!
