✓ Vegan Options I’ve read good reviews for Affogato and that they offer vegan waffles! So, I had a Build Your Own – Waffle with 2 Vegan Gelato Scoops [£4.50]. First of all, I think that Is really quite cheap! I can’t quite remember which flavours I got (Speculoos & Banana Cinnamon if I’m not mistaken), but I remember them being flavourful. The gelato was creamy but not that thick, so it did melt really fast on the waffle. The vegan waffle was pretty good too, crisp edges and soft & crumbly on the inside, but a bit too sweet for me. The place is quite spacious for a dessert place, with a good number of tables and seats. It is simple and rustic in décor that is mainly of wood, giving it a cosy and casual vibe. Affogato also has petite fours, cakes, hot drinks and other waffles. Solid gelato (Vegan ones I tried) and satisfying waffles with good service.

Great home made gelato with creative flavours and friendly staff. There is a lot of wrong info on the internet about this cafe. So here it is! Opening times - see photo. Note that their hours change in the summer, quite rightly. But any the gelato, their product is very delicious indeed. They have plenty choices to choose from. Flavours taste real rather than artificial. Highly recommended.

Amazing ice cream choices. Plenty of gluten free and dairy free options. Tea came in a pot. I hear the waffles are amazing, good cake selection. Dog friendly, hours are changing to seasonal times. At moment, Monday, tuesday closed. Wed Thursday 11am to 7pm. I was able to get a reply with hours on Facebook fairly quickly.

Best icecream in Edinburgh. We come here nearly every weekend in the last time, and we love it. Very nice staff, they are friendly and have good humour. We would always recommend this "judgement-free zone" to anyone who is looking for good icecream. (Try the strawberry one btw!)

A very tasty range gelato and sorbet along with a few cakes and good coffee, all very reasonably priced. On top of that, service is good and it's open until 10 p.m. Ideal for a treat throughout the day and great for coffee and dessert after dinner!

A nice little cafe with friendly staff. The ice-cream is yummy and there's a wide selection of flavours. Granted, the ice-cream here is not as quite as good as the ice-cream parlour in the Old Town. Also dog-friendly and a good amount of space to sit in the back.

I had vegan waffles topped with gelato (also vegan) at Affogato and it was absolutely divine. This place is without question where good vegans go when we die.

One of the best places in Edinburgh when it comes to gelato/ice cream. The staff is very pleasant and will let you try a spoonful if you're really indecisive. Great variety of flavours most of which are lactose free. Good tea and cakes selection too. Bonus points for pet friendliness.

So happy we found this place! Vegan waffles were such a treat and there was a great selection of vegan ice creams too. My favourite was the coconut but the chocolate orange was a close second. Look forward to returning soon!

Awesome selection of fresh ice creams. I'm surprised (but very glad) it gets enough business in dreich Edinburgh. Always worth an after-dinner visit: especially so after a Kyloe steak. Warning: the sundaes need a BIG appetite to do them justice!
