The 15 best ice cream shops in Den Haag

Piet Heinstraat 76, 2518 CK Den Haag

A flavor atelier in the Zeeheldenbuurt and for many the number one in The Hague. No standard menu here but original creations, which draw people from outside the city. If you want classic, go elsewhere; if you want to be surprised, do not.

Wagenstraat 181-A, 2512 AW Den Haag

A gelateria in the center near Wagenstraat. The production is authentically Italian and the owners take time for you. The portions lean generous, and nobody is complaining.

Korte Poten 44, 2511 EE Den Haag

A parlor on Korte Poten, a short walk from the Binnenhof. Popular with office workers and day trippers, and surprisingly good for such a central location. Alongside the classics there are always a few unusual flavors in the case.

Appelstraat 211, 2564 EE Den Haag

A Segbroek neighborhood parlor that built a loyal following with fresh ice cream. The owners are friendly and the flavors rotate regularly. For the surrounding streets this has been the obvious ice cream address for years.

Theresiastraat 41, 2593 AA Den Haag

Luciano's Theresiastraat branch, one of The Hague's best known ice cream names. The Bezuidenhout queues are legendary on summer evenings, but nearly everyone agrees the wait is worth it.

Elandstraat 55, 2513 CZ Den Haag

A small parlor in the Zeeheldenkwartier where the ice cream is homemade. The neighborhood adores it: the service is personal and the flavors stay with you. Modest in size, not in quality.

Plaats 31, 2513 AD Den Haag

A parlor on the Plaats, in the historic center right by the Binnenhof. Among the busiest in the city, loved by tourists and locals alike. The terrace on the square completes it.

Meyerstraat 11, 2521 AH Den Haag

Baklava and ice cream under one roof, with Turkish sweets as the base for original flavors. The combination of a pistachio scoop with fresh baklava is what draws many visitors. A welcome change from all the Italian parlors.

Grote Markt 8, 2511 BG Den Haag

A gelato counter on the Grote Markt, shared with a pizza bakery. Small, but the gelato is surprisingly authentic. A handy finish after pizza or an evening on the square.

Stevinstraat 84, 2587 EP Den Haag

A parlor and lunchroom on Stevinstraat, just behind the Scheveningen boulevard. Beachgoers and locals mix here, both drawn by the fresh production and wide choice. Calmer than the spots on the boulevard itself.

Hoefkade 5, 2526 BN Den Haag

Gelato and specialty coffee on Hoefkade, a newer name that won people over fast. The pairing of good espresso and freshly churned gelato clearly works: the neighborhood calls the shop an asset and the affogato a must.

Schoolstraat 5, 2511 AW Den Haag

Churros, poffertjes, waffles and ice cream on Schoolstraat: sweet in every imaginable form. Especially popular with a young crowd that comes for the combinations. The warm churros with a scoop of ice cream are the bestseller.

Frederik Hendriklaan 230B, 2582 BM Den Haag

Luciano's branch on Frederik Hendriklaan, the shopping heart of the Statenkwartier. Same recipes as in Bezuidenhout, and just as good according to the neighborhood. A fixed part of a Saturday on the Fred.

Laan van Meerdervoort 596, 2563 BN Den Haag

An Italian parlor on Laan van Meerdervoort that has lasted generations. Regulars come for the classic flavors and like that little changes, and they mean that as a compliment. A dependable address for anyone who just wants good ice cream.

Apeldoornselaan 229, 2573 LJ Den Haag

A classic Italian neighborhood parlor on Apeldoornselaan. Not a big city name, but a fixture for the district. Visitors praise the friendly service and old-fashioned portions.
