Mainly fruit sorbets, but some exciting vegan creamy flavours - Edit
They market themselves as vegan-friendly, but usually only have fruit sorbets plus dark chocolate. In the spring, they have some exciting creamy flavours, like hazelnut, gianduja, pistachio and walnut/whiskey, but they usually don’t return in the summer. I wish they’d had flavours like these more often! The coconut sorbet was creamy as well, but I don’t like coconut that much.
Read moreThe cinnamon, dark chocolate, melon, rhubarb, passion fruit, strawberry, forest fruits, lemon and blood orange sorbets were also good. However, the pear and mango sorbets tasted a bit artificial and the coffee ice-cream tasted watery and sour.
Unfortunately, you pay a surcharge for vegan cones (about €1). But you’re allowed to bring your own container. Just use a small one (for better temperature control) and put it in the freezer for a few hours.

Read moreI wish there are more vegan options (when I went there are only three).
There is also take away option, that was a good idea for have this tasty ice cream for one week at home :)

4/5 - Edit
I really enjoyed the ice cream! They have some vegan options and a very nice thing was that inside they have a board that specifies the vegan flavors, really helpful!
Read moreI tried rabarber and coconut flavor and they were both really good! It’s hard to find vegan coconut ice cream, so I was very happy 😊

Only fruit flavours - Edit
Ik begrijp de ophef over Roberto's niet zo. Als vegan hoef je hier niet naartoe, want ze hebben voornamelijk alleen fruit (sorbet) smaken, maar die hebben ze bij elke ijszaak wel. Als dat je ding is dan is het wellicht de rij waard. Anders echt niet. De bolletjes zijn daarnaast ook erg klein.

Ignore this review, Roberto’s have *heaps* of non-fruit sorbet, including vegan options. The ice cream balls aren’t small for the price, either. Don’t know what this guy is on about.

Hi BrendanJones. Why would I lie about this? What's in it for me? Do you think I photoshopped the icecream in the photo? You are so funny 😁

Ice cream by a world champion - Edit
2018, Roberto won the world championship in making ice cream - and you can taste it in Utrecht. The ice cream is made fresh daily and with only natural fresh ingredients. No pastes or colorings are used - it’s simply good ice cream. Vegan options include lots of fruity flavors such as lemon, melon, mango, blood orange (my favorite), but you can also find coffee, chocolate or licorice vegan ice cream on the menu from time to time. Even rarer you might come across a pistachio sorbet and a vanilla sorbet - these are so amazing but they only make very small batches and it sells out fast! In summer there are long lines at this place all day long but you can preorder online to skip the line and get the flavor you desire ☀️🍦
Read morePros: Many vegan options

The best sorbet in the world - Edit
The best sorbet you’ll ever have (including in Italy), for a really decent price. The line does go down the street on summer days, but slow down, enjoy yourself. Have a chat with your friends. You’re not rushing ice cream, are you?
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Lots of flavours, Well priced
Cons: Absolutely none

Amazing vegan ice cream - Edit
Really really good vegan ice cream. I'm not much into fruit flavours (which are often the only vegan options), but this place has outstanding creamy vegan flavours as well.
Read moreBonus: I got non-veg family members to try the vegan flavours and they loved them as well.
Pros: Great non-fruity options

Great Vegan Ice Cream Flavours - Edit
Roberto Gelato has, in addition to multiple fruit sorbets, at least two additional vegan flavours that are usually “cream” based. I’ve tried mint-chocolate chip, vanilla-cherry and dark chocolate and they were all delicious. They also have vegan cones if you ask.

Best vegan ice cream ever! - Edit
I love this place. I have been coming here since I was a little kid. They have multiple vegan ice creams to choose from, mainly fruit flavors, thought they will also have flavors like dark choclate and almond. The staff is always very friendly and will happily help you when you ask which flavors are vegan. On a warm day you may need to wait a little while before you get your hands on some ice cream, but it is well worth your while!
