Went to a birthday party here and got to make my own ice cream sundae - I chose mango and strawberry sorbet, hot fruit salad sauce with a piece of mango on the top. Interesting flavours, all very tasty.
Ice cream to be devoured. After a big meal in nearby Camden or whilst on a long weekend walk I love to pop in here and get a scoop if their flavourful ice cream and take in the busy North London streets around. Staff are so helpful and friendly. The decour is top quality, such a statement that makes you feel like you're in a special ice cream place (which you certainly are!)
A joke!! Bad joke!! The sorbets looked like granita they were icy and tasted like iced lemon juice and pineapple juice. Not sorbet at all. Don t do ice scream if you cannot.
Great service, brilliant ice cream, some very interesting flavours (I tried some stilton ice cream here and loved it!)
Welcoming shop with friendly staff and a lovely variety of flavours which they encourage you to try. Take away tubs also available
Nice cosy place. I really liked the hot chocolate here. Probably one of the best in town!
Like ice cream? This is the place for you!! Hate ice cream? This is still the place for you!!! Outstanding everytime. Try the chocolate sorbet!!
Amazing celebration ice-cream cake for my mums 80th
We love this little ice cream shop which also happens to be one of the pick-up points for our veg bags (when it's open). Sometimes when we have surplus fruit we'll drop it off and they'll use it for one of their amazing seasonal ice creams and sorbets. And of course we also love their super-local flavours like Kentish Town Honey.
I'm very sorry but I really didn't like the ice cream, they were tasteless and really overpriced, I can't recommend to go there...
The most wonderfully inspiring & original flavours made with best quality ingredients make for the yummiest happiest ice cream experience! Lovelovelove this place... they make small batches of seasonal flavours that change often so you'll never be bored, seriously delish! Just a bit dangerously too close to home!
a completely unique experience, with a beautiful interior and inventive new flavours every new month. the quality is unreal and unmatchable anywhere else in london!
Better than most ice cream places - some interesting flavours - albeit mainly sorbets. Pricey for what you get. Indifferent service.
Fantastic flavours, good, fast, friendly service. Highly recommended.
We ordered a cake for my son s 12th birthday- raspberry ripple, maxi moo moo, and salted caramel layers with a chocolate cake and so beautifully decorated. The team also went the extra mile and fashioned a Mind Flayer (from Stranger Things) out of fondant! He was absolutely overjoyed. We are so grateful! It was also delicious!! Thank you guys!!
Quality and very tasty ice cream and sorbet! Ruby Violet make it all themselves and the flavours change and experiment. There is bench seating and table inside. This store is located about 5 minute walk from Tufnell Park tube station. They have another branch, a small store, at Kings Cross Granary Square.
Mmmmmm salted caramel - perfect. Liquorice & blackcurrant and chocolate orange are equally divine :-). It s impossible to put it back in the freezer once you ve started it! Also I heard you donated a lot to our fabulous NHS during the Covid peak - Thankyou so much on behalf of all the hospital staff & ambulance crews who enjoyed a little taste of luxury as they worked their socks off. Support from our local communities means so much.
If you come here you have about 50% chance of getting a nice ice cream. Flavours are extremely hit and miss, including a purple sweet potato one that tasted of mealy tuber (unlike Malasian ube) and a frankly terrible peanut concoction More
Delicious ice cream, friendly staff, what's not to love? I've tried a few flavours here - both ice cream and sorbet - and I think my fave is the strawberry sorbet. It's creamy, fruity, and still light. That plus a scoop of lime or lime + star anise makes for a fantastic hot day's treat. The lemon sorbet is also incredibly creamy and rich tasting. The actual place is adorable - but tiny! Not the place to hang out in if it's crowded. A few tiny tables and chairs (I want to say 2 on each side of the door, so 4 tables), and that's that. But it is cute, and I think on an afternoon when the store is pretty much empty, it must be lovely to spend time sitting there. So why only 4 stars? I hate to say it, but the price. I realise the ice cream is tops, but 2.50 for one scoop seems like a lot. I feel like if it were even 2.00 for a scoop, I'd be a lot happier. Also, sometimes the staff gives me a triangle of waffle cone stuck into my scoop and sometimes they don't. I ALWAYS want that triangle, darnit!
Great flavours and their cones are amazing. Grateful to have this little ice cream shop around the corner :)
Great ice-cream everytime! Truly ice cream connoisseurs! The other negative reviews seem to be from people who don't really know ice-cream and would rather go to the local Iceland and pay 10p for a choc ice! Their Affogato is really nice and they change the flavours to match seasonal fruits. Always something new to try here, and it's organic!
Really do not understand how this ice cream can be so popular and have 5 stars. It is too sweet, sort of lacking in flavour and extremely expensive.
Excellent icecream and sorbet. Favourite is cucumber & mint. Tiny seating area.
Ruby violet has interesting flavours Many are rich and ones to only take a lick and savour Salted caramel almond brittle - I liked it so much and the scoop was not little A few of the flavours are really top notch Sadly one of the flavours was not butterscotch
I had some elderflower-lemon and a scoop of trifle-cherry. Very tasteful. Going back, definitely.
Great ice cream, loads of flavours and it's open late. Perfect for walking home from the pub on a summer evening.
Lovely ice cream and great service. The chocolate hazelnut I've cream is one of the best I've had!
I'd been looking forward to visiting Ruby Violet for some time after following them on Twitter, they have an extensive list of ice creams, I went for Salted Caramel and Peanut butter flavours, both were nice, I'd recommend the salted More
I mean, this is a MUST for all ice cream lovers out there.
I love their constantly changing flavours and the wonderful staff I meet, I see they have a van out too which looks beautiful. One of the photos shows their amazing Easter eggs they had, I love how creative they get around holiday seasons.
I just love the personal touch. It s one of the best things a premium brand could practice as part of their customer experience. The gentleman who delivered the package to our doorstep was very accommodating and of the very best nature when we spoke to him on the phone. Will definitely order again and keep coming back for exciting flavours. The flavours themselves are top notch. There was a surprise in the bag, a few sample flavours to try, very unexpected and very welcoming at these same time.
Too bitty. Not for me. Glad I dropped it on the floor.
Delicious ice cream with unusual flavours. Organic and no artificial ingredients. Just perfect.
Fabulous handmade ice cream. The salted caramel is my absolute favorite. Can't really go wrong with any flavor.
Perfet ice cream, nice atmosphere and really nice staff!
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world's most pricey ice cream. It's good, but not that good.
Most delicious ice creams. Tried cucumber-mint and masala chai varieties the other week, they were very unusual yet very tasty. Will definitely come again.
Amazing ice creams and sorbets for adults and kids, all made on premises, amazing customer service.
Some the best ice cream in London, maybe even the best!
Yummy ice cream but what is even better than that, they have home made ice cream sandwiches with cookies. So delicious!
I loved it. The ice cream was delicious and the flavours very tasty. I enjoyed and savoured the Salted Caramel
The most amazing ice cream and sorbet flavours i've ever seen. Horseradish? You wouldn't believe it but it works and so well. Lime and stat anise sorbet blew my taste buds to heaven and back. You owe it to yourself to go.
Really cute!!! Vintage style which I love and people working there are so lovely and polite.
Delicious and unique. Ordered delivery during Covid times for an anniversary treat, we were very happy. Thanks Ruby Violet!
Original flavours for a very middle class audience, like prosecco and rose water. But tasty!
Hmmm, not sold. Texture is weak, sorbets really dont hold together well.. Flavours are good though.
Tried the salted caramel flavour here and loved it!
Best ice cream shop in the world! They even have sorbet for our lactose free friends .
Magnificent ice cream and friendly service. The triple scoop cone is a behemoth!
Phenomenal and unusual ice cream- from chilli chocolate to prosecco flavours (highly, HIGHLY recommend prosecco on a sunny day. It's a bit like a boozy sorbet). Do ask if you can try before you buy as there's such a range and the staff are friendly! They have some great suggestions for matches and toppings too ;)
Love these guys. You really can taste the quality of the ingredients. Excellent service too.
Great service followed with amazing ice cream! Perfect way to spend Eid.
Strange flavors of ice cream but really interesting. The cone is great. Cute place in general
Myself and my doggies stopped over to try some delicious ice cream .I really enjoyed the flavours I had as did the doggies.Yes you pay more but me personally i would pay it again to have wonderful ice cream. Thank you to the wonderful lady who served me Sunday the 25th August I appreciated your patience both with myself and my 2 doggies,late evening. Kind regards Maria x
"Sorry, we don't take cash" I have visited previously and found sorbets to be delightful, tangy and interesting. Sadly, I visited last week in the afternoon and was (apologetically) informed that this is a "card only" establishment. Gone are the heady days of children being able to use pocket money to buy themselves a treat. Or perhaps the owner is only interested in children (and adults) with credit? Or maybe data mining? Businesses with a "customer list" are more saleable than those without. It is hard to fathom the reasoning here. The most obvious being; the member of staff serving was young:- THEREFORE untrustworthy? (Not my thoughts - I am suggesting these are management's) Not needing to be open in the colder months the owners can save on wages for their teenage staff. There are a number of free Wi-Fi cafes in the vicinity. When was the last time the owner's had a PCI conformance check for the safety / security of their card only customers? Decorated as an inviting "chocolate box" of treats on the outside this "more exclusive than thou (with prices to match) attitude" seems designed only for gold card holders.
The most delicious sorbet i have ever had, very friendly staff :)
Wonderful ice cream! Really incredible flavours, so fresh and taste exactly as they should. All home made on the premises with organic milk, or just great fruit. Can't recommend it highly enough, best ice cream in London!
Very expensive for what is quite ordinary ice cream. Any premium brand from Marks and Spencer is considerably more subtly flavoured and finely textured than anything I tasted here. They seem to have confused using organic ingredients with being able to create gourmet ice cream. Perhaps they should visit Berthillon in Paris to see how it's done
Very nice ice cream in a variety of unique flavours.
The go to ice cream place for kids and big kids. Kind, friendly staff make it extra special.
Classic and weird/innovative ice cream flavors. Good sorbets, too.
Very nice flavours. Amazing enviroment and very friendly staff.
Amazing ice cream and sorbets. Saviour every bit. Staff are enthusiastic and friendly.
Very bad experience. Went to buy ice cream yesterday for my whole family including my elderly parents, husband and 2 small kids. It was very windy and their long display board near ice cream van came away hitting me right on my shoulder and More
Only suitable for hipsters that want to instagram their overpriced receipt with their tasteless icecream. Gave it several chances but I always ended dissapointed.
Love this little ice cream shop. Both this and the King Cross branch serve outstanding ice cream of a wide range of flavours that you might not expect in an ice cream. The Meringue Muddle was delicious and the ultimate mix of sugary joy. Very much enjoyed it!
Not much seating inside but they do amazing iced cream. Friendly staff and a beautiful shop inside.
Been a customer ever since they first opened. Amazing flavours and choices for all sorts of people. Wonderful ice cream, for good prices as well!
Inventive, original ice cream, often made with local ingredients (e.g. The Tufnell Park honeycomb). Pleasant service and some casual benches and chairs for seating. Adds a lot to the area and a great stop-off point for treats. Takeaway tubs are pre-made but you can also have a tub of any ice cream they have. Special flavours each week.
Amazing flavours of Gelato. They even have an ice cream cake which you can order. A little gem in Tufnell Park. Great Customer service who are happy to let you try some of their unique flavours.
Last time I tried a chocolate sorbet, Yummy.. This is the ideal place for Ice-cream lovers. Worth a visit.
