Overview & Highlights

Located in the heart of Bern at Monbijoustrasse 75, La Golosa Gelato is a true haven for ice cream aficionados seeking an authentic taste of Italy. This charming gelato shop stands out with its artisanal approach, offering exquisitely crafted Italian-style gelato that captivates locals and visitors alike.

What makes La Golosa Gelato truly exceptional is its imaginative range of flavors. Customers rave about unique creations such as the Ferrero Rocher gelato—a luscious, hazelnut-packed delight that goes far beyond typical hazelnut ice cream, delivering a rich, unforgettable taste that Nutella lovers will adore. Another standout is the Oreo flavor, which reinvents the classic cookie into a delicate milk and cookie experience that is perfectly balanced—not overly sweet and incredibly satisfying.

But the delight doesn’t stop at gelato bowls alone. La Golosa also offers a mouthwatering selection of croissants with gelato fillings. According to customers like Yonradee Claire, their pistachio croissant rivals those found in Italy itself—flaky, buttery, and enriched with one of the finest pistachio gelatos you'll ever taste. The coconut and chocolate flavors are equally praised, turning each bite into a decadent adventure.

The atmosphere at La Golosa is vibrant yet welcoming. While weekends often attract long queues, the swift service keeps the wait time enjoyable. This bustling spot is clearly beloved by locals, reflecting its dependable quality and friendly staff—Jack P.'s experience of staff replacing a dropped scoop underscores the genuine care that permeates the place.

For those who prefer their gelato on the go or with a twist, La Golosa offers customization on portion sizes—from Piccolo to Grande—and the choice between cone or cup. There's even a tempting menu for milkshakes (Frappé) and larger takeaway packages, perfect for indulging beyond the shop’s cozy interior.

In summary, La Golosa Gelato isn’t merely an ice cream shop; it’s an experience of authentic Italian gelato craftsmanship combined with inventive pairings and a warm Bernese welcome. Whether you’re a passionate gelato lover or a curious traveler, every visit promises delightful surprises and flavors that linger long after the last spoonful.

Wow. My husband and I both agree it was the best gelato we’ve ever had. I got the Ferrero rocher and the Oreo and that ferrero rocher was unlike any flavor of ice cream or gelato I’ve ever tasted, very unique and yummy—a must try esp if you’re a hazelnut/nutella fan. The Oreo is not your typical American Oreo cookie flavor, it is its own milk & cookie flavor that’s not too sweet—which I love! My husband got the Mango flavor and let me tell you, we both love mango flavored anything and have tried MANY ice creams, gelatos, smoothies, desserts, etc. Their mango flavor was NOTHING like we’ve ever tasted. It captured the true mango experience for us from the first lick to the lingering aftertaste. It tasted like we were eating real FRESH mango fruit with every lick. Not like those artificial mango flavors that you know is just super sweet syrup. We didn't get to try the golosa cause they were out, but reading everyone’s reviews makes me wish we went earlier to catch one!

Superb ice cream! A favorite gelateria to many locals and there’s a reason why. Expect long queues on weekends but they go quite fast. We tried the Ferrero, Lotus Cheesecake, Dubai chocolate, pistachio, strawberry lemonade and Mango and they were all delicious!

The round croissant is amazing I highly recommend the coconut flavor and Chocolate and definitely gelato is a must !!!! Mik and yogurt is amazing

Finally i found pistachio croissant like in italy. It is very delicious and i died for it. Recommended!

La Golosa Gelato – A Hidden Gem for Gelato Lovers in Bern ???????? If you’re visiting Bern and craving something sweet, La Golosa Gelato is a must-try spot that offers authentic Italian-style gelato right in the heart of the city. I stopped by for a quick treat and ended up completely impressed! Flavor Highlight – Yogurt Gelato: I ordered the yogurt flavor, and it was incredibly refreshing, creamy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients – no artificial aftertaste, just pure and smooth goodness. It’s the kind of flavor that feels light but satisfying, especially on a sunny day in Bern. Other Options: While I only tried the yogurt, the display was filled with a beautiful variety of flavors – from fruity sorbets to rich chocolate and nut-based options. Everything looked freshly made and enticing. Atmosphere: The shop is cozy, welcoming, and clean, with a modern vibe. It’s located in a lovely area where you can grab your cone or cup and stroll around the picturesque streets of Bern or enjoy it by the river. Service: The staff was friendly and helpful, and they let you sample flavors before choosing. Their passion for real gelato clearly shows in the product and presentation. Overall: La Golosa Gelato is a delightful little find – whether you’re a tourist or a local, don’t miss this place if you’re in the mood for high-quality, handmade gelato. And if you’re not sure which flavor to try, trust me and go for the yogurt. You won’t regret it!

Loved the variety of tastes and the fact that you can have your ice cream in different forms (milkshake or in a brioche) Prise wise is on the upper side of the ladder but worth a try. I recommend the Ferro Rocher taste.

One of the few stores that open on Sundays in Bern. They have excellent flavors and the staff is very friendly. I once saw them replace a scoop for free because the child dropped it as soon as he stepped outside the shop. Photo shows a scoop of saffron and a scoop of chocolate.

One of the best places to enjoy delicious gelato in the city center of Bern! At Gelateria La Golosa, you can order your ice cream in three different sizes: Piccolo (4.50 CHF), Medio (6.00 CHF), or Grande (7.50 CHF). You can choose to have it in a cone or a cup. In addition to gelato, they also offer Frappé (8.00 CHF) and larger take-away packages of their gelato. If you’re in the mood for something different, you might be lucky enough to find their Golosos (also known as New York Rolls) — available only in small quantities and on special days. Gelateria La Golosa is also available for private bookings, perfect for parties and celebrations. The staff are very friendly and speak both English and German. All their ice cream flavors are homemade daily, ensuring top quality and freshness. During our visit, they even had a limited-edition flavor — “Lotus Cheesecake” — which was truly special and absolutely delicious! If you want to experience authentic Italian gelato in the heart of beautiful Bern, Gelateria La Golosa is definitely the perfect choice!
