Get every last lick of that summer feeling with Yelpers picks for the tastiest ice cream spots in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Gelateria Zanoni
81 High Street, Glasgow
Pammi G says "there is a fantastic range of pre designed take away sundaes to choose from, or you can build your own choosing from about 20 different flavours of gorgeous Equi's Ice cream, 6 different sauces & 10 different toppings including crushed Oreo & Reece's Pieces".
Affogato
36 Queensferry Street, Edinburgh
"Deliberating over the spinning wheel of gelato bliss was really the only issue we faced," says Ursula D. "I finally settled on an apple mojito and passionfruit combo (sunshiney sounding flavours for the aforementioned sunshine). And sunshiney they were."
Big Licks
1185 Argyle Street, Glasgow
"The rotating selection of ice cream flavours is varied and all of the flavours I've had have been fantastic." Stephanie B loves that "the cookies in the cookies & cream still have texture and the chocolate is nicely chocolate-y".
Mary's Milk Bar
19 Grassmarket, Edinburgh
Claire W says, "the selection is what makes this place - flavours that are a little off kilter, not your obvious choices, and all made in house. I love that they have dairy free options every day too".
Crolla's Gelataria
221 Byres Road, Glasgow
Kelly R loves this "great little ice cream shop. We had the Tablet ice cream and it was so good. They do have loads of toppings as well".
The Chocolate Tree
123 Brunsfield Place, Edinburgh
Megan M says they "do great ice cream in this place, which is also stocked at The Beach House in Portobello. I've tried a few of their flavours, but the salted caramel is my favourite".
Sugar Rush
32 St Andrews Street, Glasgow
"Mint choc chip is my favourite so went for that, which didn't disappoint, and a scoop of dime bar too." Roz M says it's a "good price too at £2.50 for a tub with two generous scoops and a wafer to munch".
S Luca
16 Morningside Road, Edinburgh
"S Luca is quite the ice cream parlour, but forget luxury prices. The prices were extremely reasonable," says Nicola C. "Service was fast and friendly too."
University Café
87 Byres Road, Glasgow
Bex M was "offered a taste of the ice cream as I couldn't decide which flavour I wanted. I tried the gingerbread which was very nice but I didn't fancy the crumbly texture so opted for vanilla. We both got the chocolate chips which are absolutely lovely".
Scoopz
25 West Nicholson Street, Edinburgh
This was Jackie G's first visit - "I opted for Belgian chocolate (old favourite of mine) and banana ice cream... Well I'm now a convert the banana was amazing. So fresh with little pieces of frozen banana through it".
