Ruby Violet

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.

Welcoming shop with friendly staff and a lovely variety of flavours which they encourage you to try. Take away tubs also available

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!

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'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

Yummy ice cream but what is even better than that, they have home made ice cream sandwiches with cookies. So delicious!

Strange flavors of ice cream but really interesting. The cone is great. Cute place in general

Very nice ice cream in a variety of unique flavours.

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.

Excellent hot chocolate, so intense, feels like you're drinking a fruitshake. Very interesting ice cream flavors

The sorbets are so refreshing and creamy. Staff were friendly. We got to chatting.

Great ice cream, with some different flavours, the cakes are great too

Lovely ice-cream, kind service - staff suitably apologetic that due to an unforeseen heatwave and a bate of employee sickness there was an enormous queue. The only mild observation I'd make is that if you do go "card only" it would be better not to prohibit American Express, one of the most common cards people want to use. Can't wait to try the chocolate sorbet next time!
