IJssalon Tofani

IJssalon Tofani, nestled at Kloveniersburgwal 16 in Amsterdam, offers a delightful taste of Italy with its authentic gelato and coffee offerings. This Italian cafe is a long-standing fixture on the central Nieuwmarkt square, known for providing a genuine Italian experience. With a history stretching back to 1928, it's recognized as one of the oldest ice cream parlors in central Amsterdam, maintaining a tradition of quality.

Operating seasonally, IJssalon Tofani typically opens its doors around Easter and remains active from approximately April through October. During the warmer months, the establishment welcomes visitors daily, generally from 9:00 AM to 1:00 AM, making it a perfect stop for both early risers and late-night strollers. Its prime location ensures easy access via Amsterdam's public transport, with the Nieuwmarkt metro station just a short walk away, alongside numerous tram and bus connections. Exploring central Amsterdam on foot or by bike also makes for a convenient journey to this popular spot.

Expect a vibrant atmosphere suitable for families, casual visitors, and anyone exploring the city center. Prices for a refreshing scoop of ice cream start from around 1.6 euros. Beyond the famed gelato, you can also indulge in quality Italian coffee, cannoli, and other sweet Italian treats, making it ideal for a quick pick-me-up or a relaxed break. The mix of tourists and local residents creates a lively setting for people-watching from its welcoming terrace.

As of June 2026, there is a "plan herinrichting IJssalon Tofani" (plan for redesigning IJssalon Tofani) underway. However, specific details or confirmed implementation dates for these potential changes are not yet publicly available.
