Affogato

Markt 49, Delft, Netherlands

Affogato sits right on the Markt in Delft, between the Town Hall and the Nieuwe Kerk. It’s been there for years, and honestly, it’s more than just an ice cream spot. The vibe is warm, the kind of place where you can grab a seat on the terrace with a view or duck inside when the weather does its usual Dutch thing. The ice cream is the main character here: 60 flavours, made from natural ingredients and proper Italian recipes, available all year round. Not just a summer thing. But they’re not one-trick ponies. There’s a full espresso bar with baristas who actually know what they’re doing, plus pastries delivered fresh daily by Koekela. So yeah, you can get a solid coffee and a pastry without having to choose between two different places. They also do specialities like affogato (obviously), prize-winning coffees, cannoli, and ice macarons. Open every day, though hours shift a bit in winter and depending on the weather. If you’re wandering around Delft and want something that hits the spot…
