David's Gelato

South Holland


The young entrepreneur who owns this ice-cream parlour was the subject of Mirjam Van Veelen's 2017 documentary Chill: The Road to David's Gelato, the story of his Mediterranean pilgrimage to learn all about running a successful gelateria. Fruity and creamy flavours join sorbets and frozen yoghurts in the display case, and are loved by locals and tourists alike.
