Ruby Violet

"Julie Fisher named her ice cream parlour after her grandmother who loved a choc ice. With her team, she lovingly prepares all her delicious ice cream on the premises with organic milk, free range eggs and fresh seasonal fruit. In the summer, ingredients like mint, rhubarb, apples and honey are all sourced nearby." - Chrissie Macdonald & Andrew Rae

"Ruby Violet might sound like the protagonist of a Tracey Beaker spin-off but it’s actually a particularly cute ice cream parlour in Tufnell Park. Ice cream is available as pre-packaged pots right now at both their Tufnell Park HQ and in King’s Cross, and they’re also doing delivery." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak

"Apparently, this one is a favourite of James Corden’s. But don’t be deterred — Ruby Violet is a lovely, good-natured little parlour with a mind-boggling selection of modern classic flavours (raspberry, white chocolate and cardamom; matcha green tea; black sesame). Can‘t choose? Get the six-for-£15 “tasting menu”. Now only the King’s Cross branch remains, after a landlord dispute forced the original to close." - Emma Hughes, James Hansen

"With its first parlour in Tufnell Park, ice cream innovator Ruby Violet has joined the ranks of major restaurants like Caravan and Dishoom and opened right in the middle of the action in up-and-coming Kings Cross. Now the droves of tourists, students, and area locals get to treat themselves to the incomparable concoctions—chocolate sorbet, licorice, and masala chai among them. Take it to go, or in the colder months, huddle in their gem box of a dining room behind the bar. "
