Chocolaterie en Gelaterie De Lelie - Voorstraat
4.7Google scoreVoorstraat 10, 2611 JP Delft
A chocolaterie and gelateria on Voorstraat, for many Delft's number one. Chocolate is the foundation and you taste it in the gelato. Tourists and locals share the same queue, and both are right to.

Chocolaterie en Gelaterie De Lelie - Gasthuislaan
4.7Google scoreGasthuislaan 54, 2611 RB Delft
De Lelie's second branch, on Gasthuislaan. Same chocolate, same gelato, but with shorter queues than on Voorstraat. A fine fallback when the main shop gets too busy.

Luciano Delft (Markt)
4.7Google scoreMarkt 4, 2611 GT Delft
Luciano on the Markt, with a view of the Nieuwe Kerk. The location is touristy but the quality holds up. A cone on the Markt facing the tower remains a classic.

Luciano's Voorhof branch, serving the city's south. The same recipes as on the Markt, minus the tourist crowds. The standard ice cream address for the surrounding neighborhoods.

J.H. Beaart ijs
4.6Google scoreJulianalaan 37, 2628 BB Delft
A classic parlor on Julianalaan, a Delft institution for generations. Many customers came as children and now bring their own. The quality is consistent and the portions old-fashioned in size.

Affogato Gelato & Espresso
4.5Google scoreMarkt 49, 2611 GR Delft
Gelato and espresso on the Markt. The affogato is a favorite among those in the know, and the terrace faces the town hall. Busy, but deservedly so.

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.
