So many tastes of ice cream. It is easy to find here because it’s located in the entrance of Shangani Street in Stonetown.

The staff is a bit too arrogant for my taste and seems annoyed when customers come into the shop. The ice cream is quite expensive and the flavours taste very similar - just sweet and not at all like premium ice cream + the Coffee flavour is horrific. Its not worth it.

Beautifully decorated cosy little place close to the seafront in Stone Town! This was a spontaneous visit which Im so glad I made.Definitely designed to be photographed, but the gelato here is exceptional. Rich flavours, smooth texture, wonderful.They play nice music too.The staff are friendly, overall lovely atmosphere.Put this on your to-do list!

Came here for the ice cream and ice cream only....several times. Get one or two or three scoops. Good selection of delicious choices to choose from after walking or touring around in the Zanzibar sun. Enjoy it inside or right outside on their tables. The chocolate, coffee, and cookie flavors were my go-to choices. They also sell bottle water, sodas, and coffee too.

The best Gelato in Town!! Hidden little gem of Stone Town serving yummy gelato with classic Italian flavours, to more fun new flavours like peanut butter and Nutella to more exotic and purely Zanzibari flavours of Gelato like mango, pineapple, cinammon and more delicious flavours. Highly recommended stop for a refreshing scoop of Gelato in the hot streets of Stone Town

Great gelato! Very reasonable prices with a good selection of flavors. I recommend the Nutella flavor or the chocolate. They also have milkshakes, juice, and panna cotta. It also has AC so its a great place to relax and be out of the Zanzibar heat for a bit! Highly recommend!

She just sell icecream but her attitude as if she owns entire zanzibar... very unaccepted behaviour of the manager... be careful this is Zanzibar... The ego she has shown me i will never go in this place ever again.

Restaurant with an Italian management, very friendly, service a bit slow, however lobster is very good, pizza good to be abroad, if you want to eat Italian food this place is the right choice! It’s better that you send a message to Mimmo do reservations

The place is very cosy and nice, however the ice cream is not all that great, there is room for improvement. We had the chocolate, coconut Nutella and cookies. It was bang on average.

Review №67

The best Mango ice cream I have ever tasted, not even in Italy it is so good!The other flavors are also not bad but for the freshness of the ingredients I recommend the fruity flavors. Obviously the price is expensive compared to the quantity but still not exaggerated, we are talking about € 4 for a cup with 3 flavors. Recommended for Italians who want to take a break from the tasty Zanzibari cuisine

Review №68

I never thought I could eat such good ice cream in Zanzibar! Actually, not even in Italy are there any so good and fresh.You feel the quality ingredients, in addition to the cleanliness and attention of the staff to every detail.There are many delicious flavors, I loved the stracciatella!

Review №69

Really delicious ice cream (the price is 10 thousand shillings for three balls. Thats about $ 4).We didnt drink coffee, but the coffee machines are good!Its cool and cozy inside, nice renovation.The most decent place in Zanzibar that we have met, OUTSIDE hotels (quite European).

Review №70

Definitely the best ice cream shop in Ston town ... but also in all Zanzibar !!! Open all day and every day until 10.30 pm in this pleasant location it is possible to enjoy a delicious Italian ice cream in traditional and refined tastes. Coffee and smoothies of fresh fruit are also excellent. Very useful is the presence of free wifi and the air conditioning of the room offers a moment of relaxation and refreshment from the great city heat. The prices are average and the staff friendly and helpful. The MamaMia ice cream shop is the same as in Nungwi where it has been the host in the whole island for some years !!! Absolutely a stop not to be missed ... just ask around and they will immediately show you the place as it is now a point of reference for the islanders and tourists !!! TOP !!!!

Review №72

A nice little place on the street corner ... good quality ice cream and a great variety (the chef recommends a coffee-flavored coffee maker who loves sweet and passion fruit or pineapple ice cream for fruit lovers). Outdoor or indoor seating and a friendly and welcoming staff (like most locals) ...

In my time in Stone Town I ended up going every day for coffee and cheesecake. The couple who work there are lovely, they are very friendly, the coffee is delicious and the cake is even better. I didnt try the ice creams but they were all the rage.

Review №75

Cant wait to go back !!! The place is welcoming with a really nice staff! The ice cream? It is extraordinary from fruit to creamy flavors, plus it is not only an ice cream shop, but also a bar that offers the best coffee on the island and not to mention desserts such as tiramisu which I would rate 10 stars, cheesecake and panna cotta , simply fantastic! Obviously if you are in Stone Town you cant not go there 😉 !!!

Absolutely recommended ice cream parlor, besides the superlative ice cream, I recommend trying their espresso coffee, one of the few places in the world where you can enjoy real Italian coffee / cappuccino. The desserts, then, a real treat, tiramisu top !!! Greetings to the always smiling Sara, very very welcoming !!!
