The sweet course as a destination: gelato and ice cream, cakes and patisserie, chocolate, and the dessert bars where pudding is the whole point. Bread and the morning are next door, in Bakeries.
Persian ice cream on the Portobello Road corner, opposite the blue door.
Gelato & ice creamOpen lateSomewhere to sitVegan options
Persian ice cream, built on the flavours the founder Laura Dawson grew up with. Saffron, rose and pistachio is the one to start with - Iranian saffron, rose water distilled from Damascena roses, Iranian pistachios chopped through it. Turkish coffee blends Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi with Italian espresso; chocolate and halva crumbles Arabic sesame halva over a base made with 70 per cent Callebaut. The signature is the Baklava Ice Cream Sandwich, a scoop pressed between two pieces of honey-soaked baklava, which Condé Nast Traveller called one of London's best desserts of 2020. A full vegan list runs alongside the dairy one.
It stands where Westbourne Park Road meets Portobello Road, across the street from the blue front door used in the film. The antiques stalls are the Saturday market; the general one runs most other days.
