Get ready to discover your new favourite summer snack.
Summer is here and we cannot wait to get outside into the sunshine. With temperatures reaching up to 37°C next week, there’s never been a better time to reach for a cool refreshing snack. And this year, it’s all about soft serve.
That’s right — ice cream and gelato are being eclipsed by soft serve. This light, delicious, customisable treat is the perfect addition to an afternoon walk in the sun or a lazy park day.
Luckily, London has plenty of cute spots to grab a quick, tasty soft serve this summer. Here are our picks at Stylist HQ for the eight best soft serve spots to try.
Forza Wine, Peckham
This wine bar goes above and beyond with their soft serve. Located on the sunny rooftop of Peckham’s Bussey Building, Forza Wine is a sophisticated spot to grab a drink, take in the south London views and, of course, grab a delicious soft serve to cool you down.
Forza Wine has plenty of unique flavours to try. We recommend the ricotta and pistachio or the lemon curd and meringue.
