Reviews Summary

Crème de la Crème is widely praised for its delicious, creamy gelato with an impressive range of unique flavors, including vegan options. While the experience is generally positive, be prepared for potential queues during busy periods and note that some find the sweetness level or pricing of extras a bit high.

"Pleasantly surprised by this ice cream spot in Prague! We’d seen the glowing reviews and posts on social media, and there were queues every time we walked past — always a good sign. When we finally tried it, it definitely lived up to the hype. Great selection of flavours, really rich and creamy, and everything tasted super fresh. Worth the wait and a must-try for ice cream lovers in the city."

George Poul Attwood

"After having this gelato location recommended by a tour guide I can say that the ice cream is wonderful. I tried the lemon and strawberry sorbet with vanilla gelato and sat in the shop to have mine. I would encourage you to go inside and take a table. There was always a queue outside but it moved quickly. The staff were very helpful, spoke English and the shop was clean and welcoming."

Melissa Hughes

"Rly nice ice cream. Had white chocolate with almonds in a poppy seed cone. Ice cream had a nice and creamy texture and a good flavor without being overly sweet. The cone was a special for an extra 30Kc and I'd say worth it. You can actually taste the poppy seeds v clearly and the cone is big and vvv crunchy! My partner had salted chocolate w caramel in a cinnamon cone and loved it too! Paid a total of 208Kc"

If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll be in your element at Creme de la Creme. The blackcurrant ice cream was some of the best I’ve had, full of real fruit and more like sorbet than ice cream. We also sampled the walnut ice cream which is another of the cafe’s specialities and much creamier.
