The best ice cream shops Stone Town

It's a tiny stand hidden away in the backstreets of Stone Town, not far from the Emerson Spice Hotel. Barafu Paradice has a few stools and low tables set right on the street, which is quite wide in this area. We come here for one thing only: its creamy, snowy coconut ice cream, vegan and lactose- and gluten-free, made with 100% local ingredients. A contemporary gourmet address for a sweet break on a hot afternoon. Other flavors: coffee or mango passion. Take the opportunity to observe the street atmosphere.

Nungwi's Mama Mia Italian restaurant and ice-cream parlour recently opened in the heart of Stone Town, in front of Forodhani Garden. It's the best address for a sweet break in the capital. On the menu are ice creams and sorbets, of course, but also original icecream burgers combining ice cream and brioche, waffles with ice cream, and an inimitable homemade Italian tiramisù. You can also take a break here to get a good espresso to go. The store has no terrace tables, so everything is available to take away.
