iScream
iScream is proudly Oxford’s first gelateria and is certainly one of the best.
The ice cream shop can be found tucked inside the Covered Market and serves award-winning gelato made on-site.
The gelateria was founded nearly a decade ago by gelatiere, Graham who had an epiphany moment while on holiday in Tuscany.
Out of the blue, he announced: “I’m going to open a gelateria one day.”
iScream has a five-star rating on TripAdvisor.
One recent visitor commented: “A lovely little place with great, excellent quality, gelato!
“Service was absolutely great and considerate of the small details (such as which flavour you prefer on the bottom).
“I would definitely come back!”
Alfonso Gelateria
Alfonso Gelateria serves high-quality artisan ice cream in Oxford.
The business started as a food struck that opened in May 2018 in Summertown in North Oxford.
