No matter your preference, these amazing ice cream parlours in Brighton are sure to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth!
Do you know your gelato from your ice cream? Unlike ice cream which is much higher in butterfat and stored at -18℃, gelato is made using less fat, 50% less air than ice cream and is served at -15℃.
Cloud 9
Cloud 9 is a business worthy of its name, as their sweet treats will surely have you echoing the titular idiom that the name implies. They are passionate about everything sugary and sweet, but remain dedicated to using the best natural ingredients and avoiding artificial mass-produced products.
They offer takeaway 500ml tubs starting at £2 per scoop, or you can have your ice cream on a hot waffle or in a waffle cone, with a wide selection of toppings. All the ice cream is made fresh on site, with different flavours available every day. The ‘Cloud 9 Chocolate Dream’ is our favourite, but if you’re a bit more adventurous you could try Garlic Galore or Blue Cheese for an out there after dinner treat!

Marroccos
A Brighton institution, Marroccos has been open on Hove seafront since 1969, serving authentic Italian food and ice cream. Many of Marrocco’s customers are now the fourth generation of residents to sample one of Hove’s traditions. Run by Pietro Marrocco, his Dad was passionate about ice cream, getting up at 4am every morning to ensure there was always enough to go round and in his own words “getting it just right”.
Not much has changed at Marrocco’s since ’69 apart from expanding their range to 24 flavours. All made traditionally, and fresh; including yoghurt, sorbet and the ever popular blue bubble gum flavour. Eat in or take away in a waffle cone or tub.
