Hemels Italian Ice Cream has quickly become a local sensation since its grand opening in March. Nestled on Zaanweg 109, it stands as the first and only ice cream parlour in the Zaan region to feature authentic Italian gelato made with natural ingredients. This achievement stems from a partnership with a prestigious Italian ice cream family, renowned for their craftsmanship since 1929. Recognizing Hemels’ ideal ambiance and dedication to quality, the family selected this location as their exclusive point of sale in North Holland.
Before its official opening, Hemels conducted pilot evenings in October last year, allowing patrons to taste and select their favorite gelato flavors. The unanimous choice was the Italian ice cream, praised for its superior taste and creamy texture. Today, Hemels offers over 30 flavors, including options for lactose-free, sugar-free, and vegan preferences, ensuring there’s a delightful treat for everyone.
Beyond gelato, Hemels Italian Ice Cream is a haven for dessert enthusiasts. Indulge in shakes, smoothies, Nespresso coffee, and refreshing mint tea, creating a complete sensory experience. The renewed interior transports guests to Italy, enhancing the enjoyment of each scoop of gelato or sip of coffee.
Entrepreneur Sandra Bouguenon and her dedicated team have curated an experience where every visit to Hemels feels like a journey to Italy. Whether you’re seeking a classic gelato cone with a heavenly dollop of whipped cream or exploring innovative flavors, Hemels invites you to taste the essence of authentic Italian ice cream in Zaanbocht.
