With summer finally showing its face, there is only one question on everyone’s lips: where is the absolute best place to grab an ice cream in Leeds?
We put the question out to our readers on social media to find the ultimate spots for a sunny day scoop, and the responses came thick and fast—almost like the soft-serve ice cream many of us are set to enjoy as the temperatures look to soar today.
Naturally, because it's Leeds, we also got a healthy dose of classic Yorkshire banter, with plenty of love shown for supermarket freezer aisles and the sound of nostalgic chimes rolling down the street.
We’ve sifted through the comments to pull together the reader’s list - here are their top places to grab an ice cream in Leeds.
7. Sunday's
Holding it down for Moortown, Sundays got a solid shout-out from readers who swear by its location at the corner. It's the perfect neighbourhood spot for grabbing a cone and watching the world go by. 🍦372 Harrogate Rd, Moortown, Leeds LS17 6PY | YPN
8. An Ice Cream Van
Because sometimes, you just can't beat the classics. A couple of readers bypassed the shops entirely to vote for the sound of the chimes drifting down the street, proving the magic of a 99 with a flake never truly fades. 🍦 Cruising a street near you | Local Library
9. A Supermarket
And finally, a collective nod to the budget-conscious readers who bypassed the artisanal parlous entirely. From Heron Foods and Iceland to Paul's highly specific shout-out for Aldi's four-pack of £1.59 "thingys that look like a Cornetto," the freezer aisle holds a special place in Leeds' heart. 🍦 Your nearest Leeds supermarket freezer aisle | Local Library
