Jack's Gelato

Pretty brilliant and I can see why my friend hyped the place up. Fabulous array of unique flavours, a great vibe and always bustling with people ready to try the next wacky combination they conjure up. Great pricing for the quality and artisanal nature of the gelato and very quick to serve.

Very nice gelato in Cambridge! When I was there, there was a bit of a cue but it wasn’t too bad. I got the mint stracciatella and it was pretty good. The place is just a small shop so it can get a bit crowded if people stand near the door. The gelato and serving sizes stray on the expensive side, though.

Wow!! This gelato shop is the best I’ve ever tried! As I approached, I saw lots of people enjoying their gelato, either walking by or sitting nearby. The line was long, but thankfully, the wait wasn’t too long. They offer a wide variety of flavors that change weekly. After some difficult choices, I picked Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt and Coconut Ube, opting for a chocolate dipped cone. The gelato was incredibly smooth, and the cone was nice and crispy. If I return to Cambridge, I will definitely come back to try more flavors! Oh, and they have a mini print vending machine in the shop! I got a cute print, which was a lovely bonus! 😍

Jack’s Gelato Cambridge’s Coolest Scoop There’s gelato, and then there’s Jack’s Gelato. Tucked just off the hustle of King’s Parade, this small-batch, artisan ice cream haven has become a cult favourite in Cambridge and for very good reason. It’s the sort of place where queues form even in winter, and once you’ve had a taste, you’ll understand exactly why. Jack’s doesn’t mess around when it comes to flavour. Everything is made in-house, in small batches, with obsessive attention to quality and creativity. The classics chocolate, vanilla, pistachio are done exceptionally well: smooth, creamy, and bursting with real, natural flavour. But the real magic lies in the more inventive options. Think burnt sugar and sea salt, miso and white chocolate, or pear and sake sorbet. Every visit feels like a new experience, with rotating flavours that surprise, delight, and always deliver. The texture is bang-on too silky, rich, and utterly indulgent without being heavy. Whether you go for a cone, cup, or one of their house-made brownie ice cream sandwiches, everything feels crafted with serious care. It’s the kind of place you pop into for a quick treat and end up staying a while, chatting with the friendly staff or just people-watching from the street corner with your scoop in hand. A proper Cambridge gem that’s playful, refined, and effortlessly cool.

We saw quite a long queue outside and raving reviews. But unfortunately they didn’t live up to the expectations at all. The texture was more of ice cream than Gelato. The flavours were not prominent enough. We had the cold- infused coffee, milk and sugar cookies, and double pistachio. We tried dark chocolate and sea salt, strawberry and cream. Customer service wasn’t great either.
