Alandas Gelato

An award-winning gelato shop in North Berwick, a short walk from the beach, making gelato each day with cream and milk from East Lothian.

Visit website

Welcome

On the corner of Quality Street in North Berwick, a few steps from the beach, Alandas makes gelato that has won gold award after gold award.

It brings Italian craft together with Scottish ingredients: the cream and milk come from East Lothian, and everything is made fresh each day in small batches, with natural ingredients.

The gelato is piled high in the cabinet and topped with fruit, chocolate and biscuit. There are classics made well, such as a rich Belgian milk chocolate, and more playful ones like apple strudel, with spiced apple and pastry, and chocolate fudge brownie.

There are a few tables outside for eating in the sun, or take your cone down to the sands. The shop opens every day from ten in the morning into the evening.

The Daily for 11 November, from Scotland with love. The broken stone walls of a lochside castle rise from a small tree-covered island, autumn foliage glowing orange against the dark water and forested hillside beyond.
