So do you know what is going to happen to the old cafe?


I have to admit, I assumed the move was to get a bigger space to expand, not because the owner of the old site wanted them out. The French Cafe was often full and the new one is larger.

They've only just opened so have yet to have the name painted on the front of the shop.

I just had an ice crea from here and was bowled over. I had tried Oddone's and did not like their ice cream I found them oily. However the scoops I had today from Fabulous etc....were marvellous. Pistachio and almond were both as good as I had tasted and their own marscarpone with ground cardamom on top was great. There were 3 scoops for ?2.50 but I think this is an opening offer.
sounds fantastic - anyone know if they have a website or anywhere that lists ingredients? - would love to know if they have dairy and soy free options. The sorbet's in Oddono's are technically fine but contain trans fats so I avoid them, would be keen to find an alternative!

They're way too cool for a website. This is not a "shop". This is a blisteringly bright white space ship descended on the salivating gelatophiles of East Dulwich. They do not "make" ice creams and sorbets. They orchestrate, meld, and tease their gorgeous magic into colourful unctuousness that toys with your tastebuds. It's something wonderful.


I chucked their flyer but this gives you a taste of their exotic branding. Don't get me wrong. Their gelati are an absolute delight, the lemon sorbet so (naturally) acid it almost hurts, the pistachio the nuttiest I've ever tasted.

Oh, and I've only recently discovered Oddono's and I have to say - it's paradise. Reminds of a trip to Italy many years ago when I would eat ice cream three times a day, it was so good. Hope I don't end up going to Oddono's three times a day, or even a week, or these ice creams will start showing round my waist!!

BTW, so far the hazelnut flavor is my favourite - real nuts inside!

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
