To prepare you for the heatwave, we’ve put together a list of places to get your hands on delicious ice cream and gelato to cool off for the next week.
We have a mix of local artisanal ice cream makers and salons as well as dessert chains that are well worth checking out for your sweet fix!
We’ll be adding more stores to this list later this week. So if you are selling ice cream turn to [email protected] with your details and a picture.
