Find your flavour
JOBURG - While the weather may no longer be unbearably hot, you can still cool off on the warm days with some artisan ice cream from in and around Johannesburg.
Joburgers are obsessed with specially crafted and handmade items.
This could be due to the fact that these items are usually made with love and a care for detail that cannot be duplicated by a machine.
These artisans put their all into every batch of ice cream made and that’s why we love them, so City Buzz thought that we’d share the love with you and let you know where you can find some of the best artisan ice cream in the City of Gold.
Ice Cream Sunday
Bramley is the place to be for the creamiest homemade ice creams and an outrageous range of flavours, from mojito to raspberry peach melba to Coca Cola sorbet and even spiced caramel short rib. This flavourful experience comes to you from Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream and it takes place on the last Sunday of each month.

Tashas Le Parc
It is only at the super special Tashas in Hyde Park that you will find them making and creating their own in-house ice cream and the artsy, colourful display is enough to turn the grumpiest old man’s frown upside down. With flavours such as Oreo cookies, watermelon, and vanilla bean to tempt you and Le Parc’s inviting French bistro-style ambience to enjoy it in, there’s no way you could pass up the tasty treats at this spot.

Las Paletas
This ice cream producer originated in Cape Town but due to the deliciousness of each pop, has expanded to a number of restaurants in Johannesburg. Las Paletas creates sorbet and dairy ice creams on a stick and they don’t shy away from interesting flavour combinations. Pineapple and chilli, hibiscus flower and guava cheesecake are just a few of their oddly delicious flavours and we love them for it.
