"Made a quick dash to Vanilli's yesterday, just in time before closing time. We were a group of nine! One of the best ice creams we have ever tasted. The Ricotta & Fig was heavenly, so much so that our daughter had to have another scoop. The owner, Alex is super friendly and explained the effort and hard work that goes into running his lovely eatery. For those visiting Harrogate, this is a must stop to indulge in the different flavours of ice creams available!"

"As a self-proclaimed Rum and Raison aficionado I was thrilled to learn they have a “secret” freezer with five extra flavours that includes Rum and Raisin which absolutely did not disappoint."

"By far the best ice cream in Harrogate - in fact, the incredible flavours and smooth consistency remind me so much of the gelato I ate on holiday in Italy! The selection often changes, so there's always a new flavour to try, the portions are generous, and the gent behind the counter is really personable, we love popping into this hidden gem"

"Absolutely delicious ice-cream. Proper gelato ice-cream. My favourite is the strawberry one. My wife and sister and brother and friends went inside to order whilst I was in the car. We all loved the ice creams. They said ths owner is very friendly. Definitely coming back for more."

"Vanilli’s is by far the best gelato you will taste! I go there regularly and always get chocolate, but there are many different flavours and always have something new. You can also try flavours before buying. I would definitely recommend stopping by!"

"We first visited vanillis on a food tour we did around Harrogate. We got to sample different flavours of gelato and then got our own small tub to take away. There’s so many flavours to choose from. The flavours of the ones we sampled were far superior to any other gelato we’ve had."

"Last weekend, we were recommended to try Vanilli’s Artisan at Harrogate– and it was incredible! We tried the Oreo & Vanilla and the Salted Caramel & Belgian Chocolate – which really amazed me because the combination of rich Belgian chocolate and sweet-salty caramel was magic. They also have dairy-free options, soya, coconut, sorbet. Vanilli’s is tucked away in a quiet corner, it’s a hidden gem you’ll want to find. Get there early though , especially on the European Artisanal Gelato Day on 24 March– flavours sell out fast! By fishenjoylife"

"Been here a few times and highly recommend it! The owner is really lovely and very proud of his gelato. The flavours are much more interesting than what you'd normally see in other places, and you can try flavours before buying. Today I had an amazing Christmas Pudding gelato milkshake which had a really amazing flavour (was hard to decide between that or the mince pie flavour!) Also highly recommend the carrot cake gelato! Will definitely be back again."
