Marseille's ice cream shops to try!

Loulou Monsieur Glace is a must in the Malmousque district! Ice creams made from 100% French buffalo milk (from Aveyron), with no added fat, artificial flavouring or colouring. The toppings are made, processed and roasted in l’Estaque. The minimalist setting designed by Panela Architecte and Weekender will win you over straight away, making it an unmissable stop-off before or after the beach for a frosty break!

Located in the Panier district, a stone’s throw from the Old Port and also on the Place de l’Opéra, Vanille Noire offers artisanal ice creams to be enjoyed without moderation. Nicolas, the founder, artisan ice-cream maker and sorbet enthusiast, selects his own raw materials and prepares his own fruit purées before making his ice creams in his laboratory/store. His speciality is black vanilla, a charcoal-coloured ice cream that’s sure to catch the eye. He also offers original flavours such as ginger/curcuma, pineapple/fennel, cornflake, panettone/grappa and pastis. The ice creams can be enjoyed on the terrace or taken home. Don’t hesitate to discover this address on rue Caisserie or place de Lorette!

If you want to enjoy an organic ice cream in the Old Port, the Métropole is the place to go. The Glacier Bio Le Métropole offers 51 flavours of Terre Adélice organic ice creams and sorbets, including a whole range from the South of France: pastis, lavender, lemon-basil, verbena, green anise, apricot, white peach… The establishment also boasts a beautiful interior completely redesigned by Sophie Ferjani, the famous interior designer.
A place to come and recharge your batteries in a beach hut atmosphere!

Ciao Amore, a traditional ice cream parlour with a retro-Italian feel, has become one of the best in Marseille thanks to the expertise of Mattia, who trained in Bologna, and the warm welcome of Francesco. There are no artificial flavours here: just exceptional ingredients and generous recipes, such as the mascarpone-strawberry ice cream or the lemon-basil sorbet, prepared right before our customers’ eyes.

In 2025, Alexandre and Rachel opened La Cigale at 8 rue de la République! On the menu: ice creams with a strong, lively, Provençal identity in this shop with its pretty violet façade, where the duo offer around fifty flavours made by hand in Six-Fours. You can try lavender, fig almond honey, violet, or orange blossom pine nut… A must try, just a stone’s throw from the Old Port!

Set up in 2009 on Place de Lenche, in the Panier district of Marseille, Glacier du Roi is a family-run business that makes artisanal ice creams inspired by Italian know-how, using ingredients selected for their quality. It has made a name for itself thanks to its original creations, such as the famous navette ice cream, which has become one of its specialities.

L’Eléphant Rose à Pois Blancs is a must for ice cream lovers! Everything here is homemade, and the flavours vary according to the season. You’ll find classic ice creams like vanilla, chocolate, salted butter caramel, strawberry and lemon, as well as unusual flavours like hibiscus flower, pineapple basil, ginger and orange blossom honey. There are even alcoholic ice creams! A diversity of flavours to satisfy young and old alike. Crepes and waffles with 100% homemade toppings are also available, to eat in or take away for a stroll around the Cours Julien district.

Emeline and Guillaume have reinvented the ice cream stick with their Emki Pop shop in Marseille’s Vauban district. In a soft, pastel atmosphere, you can enjoy 100% natural sorbets and ice creams on a stick. The sorbets are made from 75% fresh seasonal fruit, giving you the real impression of eating frozen fruit! Among the esquimaux, you’ll find both classic and original recipes such as “La Black sésame” (black sesame) or “La Detox” (lemon, turmeric, ginger) or more gourmet recipes such as “La Choco craquante” (milk chocolate, caramelised almonds).

For La Mignonne, ice cream is a year-round treat, not just for tea parties! With its three-wheeled vehicle, La Mignonne is nomadic and you can find it anywhere in Marseille, even for private events. The flavours are adapted to the seasons, and the ice creams are made in Marseille by a craftsman who works with fresh local fruit and vegetables. The ice creams are free from artificial flavourings and preservatives, and contain as little sugar as possible.
