Scoops Gelato

Tucked away on the bustling Elm Grove in Southsea, Scoops Gelato is more than just a dessert spot-it’s a sugar-lover’s dreamland with a trendy, feel-good atmosphere that draws in solo diners, families, and late-night sweet seekers alike. Whether you're strolling through Portsmouth or looking to chill out with a waffle and coffee combo, this place gets the job done with flair.

One step through the wheelchair-accessible entrance, and you're hit with the sweet aroma of freshly made crepes, warm cookie dough, and a scent of Nutella that seems to wrap around your senses like a warm hug. The decor? Casual and colorful, with a modern twist that makes you feel like you’ve walked into a dessert playground. It's fun, it’s light, and it’s got that Instagrammable vibe without trying too hard.

Now, let’s talk gelato-because, let’s face it, that’s the star here. From classic Pistachio Gelato to the wildly popular Unicorn Ice Cream, every scoop feels handcrafted to perfection. They’ve got options that range from fruity to rich, with just enough wildcards to keep things interesting. And if you’re the indecisive type, the Knickerbocker Glory Split might be your perfect match-it’s got layers of flavor, textures, and color that’ll leave your taste buds guessing and your cravings completely satisfied.

Still hungry? Then the Banana Split and Bubble Gum Sundae are essential stops on the menu. Sweet, nostalgic, and piled high with whipped cream and toppings, they’re basically the dessert version of a celebration. And for the waffle fans, both the Nutella Waffle and the Banana Waffle are plated beautifully and loaded with flavor. That combination of warm, crisp edges and gooey centers is addictive in the best way.

Of course, the Crepe with Banoffee is another house favorite, offering a buttery, caramelized blend of banana and toffee that’s as indulgent as it sounds. And if you lean more toward classics, a Crepe with Lemon and Sugar is available too-simple, fresh, and timeless.

What really sets Scoops Gelato apart is the sheer range of their dessert offerings. We're not talking about just gelato or waffles. They’ve got Sticky Toffee Pudding, Chocolate Brownies, Cookies, and even Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough served warm and melty. Add a scoop of gelato on top, and it becomes a masterpiece.

Drinks-wise, there’s no shortage of pairings to go around. Whether you’re sipping on a Latte to balance the sugar rush, or cooling off with a Strawberry Smoothie, the beverage options hit just as hard as the desserts. Plus, if you're ordering online, they’ve made it super easy with delivery, in-store pick-up, and takeaway options. No fuss, just dessert on demand.

The vibe here is friendly and casual, with staff that know the menu and serve it up with a smile. You won’t find any stuffy service or over-the-top formality-just good desserts, good tunes, and a laid-back space to unwind.

Oh, and there's even a Peanut Glory and Strawberry Sensation for those who love layered sundaes with extra crunch and fruitiness. Whether you’re a gelato purist or someone who likes their desserts with all the bells and whistles, Scoops Gelato has something that’ll speak to your sweet tooth.

In a city full of cafes and dessert spots, Scoops Gelato Southsea hits that rare balance between nostalgic treats and modern execution. It’s the kind of place where you can walk in with a sugar craving and walk out with a new favorite.
