Ice Cream – Shabazi 40, Neve Tzedek; Frozen Yogurt – Shabazi 44, Neve Tzedek

Tamara Yogurt – Best Frozen Yogurt
Ben Yehuda 96 and Rothschild 19
Part of the super healthy, super delicious Tamara group of frozen yogurt shops and fruit juice stands. This Ben Yehuda frozen yogurt shop is a Tel Aviv institution, serving heavenly frozen yogurt with oozings of sauces and toppings – I like chocolate with chocolate, but they have great fruit options also. They even have swings inside the shop to bring back you back to your childhood. Read more
Vaniglia – Fan Favorite
Yermiyahu 23 and Eshtori Ha-Parkhi 22
Vaniglia has quite a few branches in Tel Aviv to choose from, and is definitely one of the best ice cream places. They have as many as 45 flavours to indulge yourself, my favourites are chocolate orange and vanilla ginger. Read more
Gelato Factory – Best in Sarona
Sarona Food Market
My secret pleasure in Sarona Food Market, and one of the best ice creams in Tel Aviv. The shop has a unique vintage-looking fully-fuctioning ice cream making machine on the wall, and their ice cream is delish! They also serve vegan ice cream, frozen yogurt and several ice cream deserts! Worth saving a bit of space for when in having a meal in Sarona. Read more
Iceberg – All Natural
Ibn Gabirol 24 and Rothschild 31
Iceberg has branches all across Tel Aviv, and also a few outside Tel Aviv. They are one of the oldest ice cream chains in the country, and make ‘100% low tech Ice Cream’, using only natural and raw locally sourced ingredients. They have a great selection of flavors, and I like to try something new every time I go. I recommend black forest (cherry and chocolate ) and salty caramel with caramel bites inside! Read more
