Best Dishes at Gelupo
Sicilian Pistachio
GelatoThe signature Gelupo flavor. Smooth pastel green pistachio gelato with neither the nuttiness nor creaminess dominating—perfectly balanced. Topped with toasted pistachio nuts for extra crunch. Available nearly every day, making it Gelupo's closest thing to a permanent fixture.
Ricotta & Sour Cherry
GelatoRicotta base gives this gelato a subtle cheesecake complexity and richness that makes it more sophisticated than standard fruit gelatos. Tart sour cherry cuts through the creaminess perfectly. Multiple reviews cite this as potentially Gelupo's signature flavor if one exists.
Bitter Chocolate Sorbet
SorbetA vegan option that chocolate lovers rave about. Deep, bittersweet chocolate with no dairy—the richness comes purely from quality chocolate. Intense, not overly sweet. A sorbet rather than gelato, so lighter and more refreshing than cream-based options.
Mint Stracciatella
GelatoFresh, vibrant mint base with stracciatella—meaning 'raggedy'—where molten chocolate is run through the gelato towards the end of churning, creating fine chocolate shards throughout. The mint-chocolate combination is classic and perfectly executed here.
Cannoli
GelatoA special flavour that showcases Gelupo's creativity. Ricotta stracciatella base with shards of chocolate, pistachio pieces, candied orange, and flaked pastry—essentially the flavours of a Sicilian cannoli reimagined as gelato. Complex and textural.

Expect a queue even on quiet days. The shop is tiny with standing room only. Worth the wait—reviewers call it 'best gelato in London, hands down'.
Flavours change daily as everything is freshly churned. Standard flavours rotate alongside specials like pineapple & tarragon, peanut butter & blackberry jam. Check what's on the day you visit.
Fri-Sat open until midnight. Perfect for post-dinner gelato or late-night Soho walks.
Directly opposite Bocca di Lupo restaurant on Archer Street. Both are worth visiting on the same trip.
The interior features distinctive blue and white tiles—small but beautiful space. Scooping window faces the street for people-watching.
