Leeds is known for its vibrant food scene, so it is no wonder that the Yorkshire Evening Post was inundated with answers when we asked readers for the best spots to pick up an ice cream.
From posh cafes to traditional parlours, these vendors have a space in the hearts of ice cream lovers across the city. Here are some of your suggestions –
1. Northern Bloc
A list about ice cream in Leeds would not be complete without a mention for Northern Bloc, the city-based manufacturer, in Castleton Close. Its stockists include Waitrose, the Co-op and Ocado, so it can be picked up all over the city and enjoyed under the warm sun. Photo: James Hardisty
2. Marples
Marples, in Town Street, Horsforth, was one of the suggestions when the Yorkshire Evening Post asked where the best ice cream in Leeds can be found. The quaint cafe also sells sweets, chocolate and gifts. Photo: Steve Riding
3. The Milk Churn
The Milk Churn, in Wetherby Road, Scarcroft, was another popular suggestion. Based on a working dairy farm, it is home to some of the freshest and most delicious ice cream in the county as it is made in the classic gelato style using milk and cream. Photo: Gary Longbottom
4. Oh So Yum
Harpreet Kaur, who won the most recent series of popular reality show The Apprentice, owns one of the hotspots for the cold treat in Leeds. Oh So Yum, in the White Rose Shopping Centre, serves up some delicious ice cream. Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
5. Roundhay Park's ice cream van
The ice cream van at Roundhay Park was one of readers' favourite choices, perhaps because the park itself is such a beautiful place to spend a sunny day. Here, brothers Freddie and Sam Sheppard enjoy a summer treat. Photo: Steve Riding
6. The Sweet Quarter
This gem, in Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton, is a bespoke sweet shop that offers nostalgic treats, but is popular for its Ryeburn of Helmsley Yorkshire ice cream. Photo: Google
