Fabulous Ice Fires — Restaurant in London

A Hidden Gem in Dulwich – Fabulous Ice Fires is Truly Fabulous!

I had the pleasure of visiting Fabulous Ice Fires gelato shop in Dulwich, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for a treat like no other.

The gelato is absolutely divine—silky smooth, bursting with authentic flavors, and clearly crafted with care and high-quality ingredients.

Had been looking forward to trying this place for over a year since I first heard about it on Off Menu but sadly did not meet expectations. Whilst the ice cream was tasty (had the hokey pokey with a surprising citrus-y twist), the service was appalling. Perhaps the owner had been having a bad day but the fact that my feelings have been shared by reviewers even 9 months ago suggests there may be something more chronic. Despite there being no other customers in the shop, we felt unwelcomed, rushed and even patronised when I asked about the mocha (to which the response was "well it's coffee, so if you like coffee, you'll like this"). Had I not gone out of my way to visit this place, I may have just not bothered to even try...
