The 4 best ice cream shops in Almere
Almere is the youngest major city in the Netherlands, and its ice cream culture is still very much taking shape. In Almere Stad, Almere Buiten and by the beach at Almere Haven, more and more parlors go beyond the standard freezer: freshly churned ice cream, vegan options and Italian recipes. The choice is smaller than in older cities, but the quality is climbing fast. These are the best-rated spots.

How are these scores determined?
The Scooped score is based on reviews from users of the Scooped app, who rate parlors and flavors per visit. A parlor receives a Scooped score once it has 5 reviews; until then, the Google score is shown as an indication. It is always labeled separately and never blended with Scooped scores. Parlors only enter the list with a Google score of at least 4.5 and at least 25 ratings, so the length of the list varies per city.
How often is this list updated?
The ranking is generated automatically from the current scores in the Scooped database, so it is always up to date.
