Morelli's Gelato Broadstairs

About

Morelli ’s Gelato in Broadstairs is a living slice of British ice‑cream heritage that dates back to 1932, when the original parlour opened atop the picturesque Viking Bay. With a history that spans more than a century, the shop has preserved its nostalgic charm – a classic soda fountain, juke‑box, formica tops and pink leatherette booths – while still serving fresh gelato made in‑house every morning. Today the gelato menu boasts over twenty artisanal flavours, from timeless classics like vanilla and chocolate to exotic blends such as IGP hazelnut and Kilimanjaro coffee. Each scoop is crafted from natural ingredients, without artificial dyes or preservatives, reflecting the Morelli family’s commitment to quality and authenticity. Beyond the sweet treats, the venue offers a relaxed café atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, free Wi‑Fi, and a waterfront view of the Broadstairs seafront, making it a favourite stop for both locals and tourists. To keep the experience truly special, the shop opens daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., including Sundays.
