Glacier Terre adélice LYON

Visited it after hearing about it. To me it tasted ok. As most ice-cream would. Granted I only tried chocolate and pistachio flavours. Located at old town. Service was good by a polite young man but there is no dine-in option (they do sell crêpes that you can sit down) so you have to enjoy it while walking and it melted quite fast in a cool autumn day. There was a lady before me who live-streamed herself on the counter with her cone of ice-cream. Obviously a tourist as she couldn’t speak french. Not realising or perhaps just being arrogant that people were waiting in line. Price for two scoops was alright I think.

Glacier Terre adelice does high quality ice cream with delightful textures. With a myriad of flavours to choose from, which may have been the hardest part. The caramel cookie ice cream was rich and slightly sticky, complemented by a crunchy cone. The limon basil sorbet provided a refreshing tartness and fragrance. Despite the queues, they move quickly. While the ice cream is excellent, it is somewhat pricey. The chosen flavors didn't pair well, contrasting instead, all the more reason to revisit and reattempt.

The portions are extremely large, and they have a wide variety of ice creams. I didn't find anything particularly special about the taste. There can be an incredible line, but it moves quickly.

Liked the ice cream here. It can get really busy. We ended up waiting in a line for almost 20mins to get ice cream to go. But it worth it. I’m usually a fan of fruity flavored gelato or ice cream, but I didn’t like this specific order. I’m not denying the quality; but it could have been better by adding some parts of the fruits inside for example. The portions are huuuge. So. I ended up not eating all of it. I really liked two other flavors though. One with orange blossoms and the other with condensed milk!

A must-have of a thick, natural and no sugar ingredients ice cream you’ve been all gathering for the entire day. Black sesame and Peanut butter is my favorite.

When passing by, I was drawn to the long queue. This ice cream shop appears to be an internet sensation, with a surprising 4.6k reviews on google and maintaining a high rating of 4.5, indicating that their quality is exceptional. They offer a wide variety of ice cream flavors, which might leave first-time visitors feeling overwhelmed when they first receive the menu. However, as a loyal ice cream diner, I've always been very faithful in my choice of ice cream flavors, regardless of the temptations around. Dark chocolate, pistachio, rum raisin are basically must-try flavors, and I also tried a new one with name meaning similar to 'Cherry Brandy,' which has grape raisins as a garnish and tastes quite good. Ice cream with fruit flavors tend to have a higher water content, so some diners might not be able to distinguish between artisanal ice cream and mass-produced products. For those who want to experience a rich and heavy texture, you must try the dark chocolate flavor, where the dry bitterness can even give you a lingering sweet aftertaste! Just one bite and you'll understand what real dark chocolate is. The prices at this shop have increased dramatically. Looking at reviews from customers who visited in 2019, they mentioned prices like 1.8 euros for a single scoop and 6.2 euros for four scoops. Now, in 2023, the prices have gone up to 3.5 euros for a single scoop and 9.8 euros for four scoops. Prices have nearly doubled. I wonder if the locals' salaries have also doubled in these short five years. Seeing these prices suddenly makes me feel that the artisanal ice cream in Singapore isn't that expensive after all 🤣

Glacier Terre adélice is a true gem for ice cream enthusiasts. From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the charming ambiance and welcoming staff. The variety of flavors they offer is simply astonishing, each one crafted with a delicate balance of ingredients that creates an explosion of taste in every bite. The quality of their ice cream is unparalleled – creamy, rich, and exquisitely textured. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or more adventurous ones, they have something for everyone. The attention to detail in every scoop is evident, and the use of high-quality, locally sourced ingredients truly sets them apart. What truly impressed me was their commitment to innovation. Their seasonal and limited-edition flavors showcase their dedication to pushing the boundaries of taste. It's evident that the masterful artisans at Glacier Terre adélice take great pride in their creations. From the first spoonful to the last, my taste buds were on a delightful journey. The presentation of the ice cream itself is a work of art, served in beautifully crafted cones or cups. The service is impeccable, with the staff eager to provide recommendations and samples to help you make the perfect choice. Glacier Terre adélice is more than just an ice cream parlor; it's an experience that combines culinary expertise with a passion for flavor. It's safe to say that this place has spoiled me for any other ice cream. If you're seeking an unforgettable ice cream adventure, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Glacier Terre adélice – it's a true masterpiece in the world of frozen delights."

My friend told me this was the best ice cream he has ever had. So I had to check it out! To me the ice cream was good, but not great. Lots of flavors available, and reasonably priced. The texture of the ice cream was very unique. I got the salted caramel, which was very sticky and almost syrupy instead of creamy. The texture was reminiscent of frozen yogurt.

One of my favorite gelato shops ever. It's a bit pricey, but the quality of Terre Adelice makes it worth the value. They use only use regional whole milk, and their fruit ingredients represent 60-70% of those sorbet and ice cream flavors; plus, everything is organic. I ordered the strawberry sorbet and caramel gelato. They were so good that if I were to return to Lyon, I'd be torn if I want to reorder the same flavors or try new ones. They also have an adjoining small cafe area that serves up crepes and coffee. Credit cards are accepted.

Had the sorbets. I had mango and my wife had the coconut. It was like eating frozen purée fruits. Excellent. Always a line. Worth the wait.

Pricey, but worth it. Many amazing ice cream flavors. We sat outside to enjoy our coupe. When it began to rain they sprung into action and covered us with awnings and umbrellas. €15 for a coupe

Really enjoyed the ice cream flavors (almond orange, mint, and milk jam). I think they have 96, and I would have loved to try more, but the sundaes could only fit three. However, I wasn't that impressed with the biscuits, fruit, and chocolate that came with the sundae. The whipped cream and honey was great though!

I love ice cream. This place is so good. It's fast and it's for such a variety! Lyon is top notch and their dessert does not disappoint. I honestly tried bacon ice cream and it was solid. I also got vanilla. Also delicious. Worth a stop by. Cool cobblestone street and close to the river so good vibes, good sweets, and good people. Would recommend!

This gelato spot is located along Rue Saint-Jean, which is full of brand name ice cream and gelato spots to choose from. But Glacier Terre Adélice is the one to stop at. There is a crowd of people in line to grab a scoop of their favorite flavor, but the line moves quickly since they have multiple people behind the counter to attend to several customers at once. Terre Adélice offers so many flavors, it's kind of insane. They have very unique, exotic ice cream and sorbet flavors that I've never seen before and they all sound amazing! It ranges from refined (like mint leaf and lavender) to exotic (like bergamot or passionfruit) to indulgent (like pink praline, tiramisu or stracciatella chocolate), and delicate (like Corsican clementine orange and wild bilberry). The ice cream is very high quality and made with only the best ingredients. I got one scoop of pistachio in a waffle cone and my siblings got a scoop of speculoos biscuit, mango, passionfruit and nougat--all in waffle cones as well. The scoops are really generous and definitely worth the price (4€). My pistachio was so creamy and exquisite! If I ever stop in Lyon in the future, this would be my go-to place for a cold treat.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ice cream place. The line is always long but they get you through quickly. The menu is so extensive. About 90 flavors I think? I love the quality of their ice cream. Each flavor is so unique and a burst of flavor. We were vacationing in Lyon and I'm pretty sure I visited here twice a day for ice cream. That's how much I love this place! I always find myself coming back here. 10/10. Highly recommend!

Minus 1 star for saying one sample per person when they have so many flavors. I did manage to convince them to let me sample a few before I was cut off.. - Roquefort: intense, as hot would expect - Smoked bacon: milder than I thought - Yuzu: intense, my favorite - Pear: not as good as the yuzu In the end, I went with yuzu and black sesame. Both were good, but it's not cheap at €5 for a small cup (for 2 flavors). Eat in prices are even higher.

Some of the best ice cream I've ever had... and I've eaten a lot of ice cream. Great, shady place to take a break after exploring Lyon on a hot day. Coffee and dark chocolate were amazing - super flavorful.

We stopped here for a treat on Monday in the late afternoon. There is a line, but it moves pretty quickly, and there are a bajillion flavors to choose from, so make good use of your waiting time. Since we were all still pretty full from lunch, we opted for three sorbets, which were perfectly refreshing with the hot weather: strawberry, pink grapefruit, and Corsican clementine. SO DELISH!! Every flavor was popping with zest and fruitiness. We may be shot down by the French Epicurean Gods for saying this, but the ice cream here was better than at Berthillon. This should be a definite stop on your trip to Lyon.

The best range and flavours of ice-cream I have ever tasted. Located in the old area of Lyon, this cute ice-cream parlor with a squillion billion creative and unusual flavours was a real treat on a hot day exploring. After agonising over the menu for a good 10 minutes and asking for suggestions as to which flavours would compliment each other, I decided on scoops of gingerbread, blood orange and yogurt. I don't think I can stress how heavenly it was. The creaminess of the yogurt, tartiness of the blood orange mixed with christmas spices, quirky mix but delicious.

Must try if you're looking for late night ice cream with exotic flavors. Honey and rosemary was my favorite. Roquefort flavor was really really strong and definitely neat to experience. Only downside is you can't taste more flavors because there are so many. But each one tastes exactly like it was supposed to be flavored. Really uncanny. Recommend trying if you want something a little different.

I swear this ice cream shoppe has more than 60 flavors ranging from fruits and nuts, chocolate, cheese, alcohol, exotic fruits, and flowers. When presented with this many options, you must storm ahead regardless of your potential gut feeling. No slight dairy intolerance will stop me! I ordered four flavors. I had one night in Lyon and wanted to make the most of it. Green chartreuse, violette, chestnut glace, fromage blanc de chevre. The clear winner was the chestnuts, but I'm a sucker for chestnut. Second was the violette with its light flowery notes. Third was the chevre. Such an unusual flavor. Last was the green chartreuse, a favorite beverage, but turned bitter tasting after the third or fourth bite. Service was quick and well organized. The daunting line wasn't as daunting as I initially thought. They manage the multi-lingual chaos well. If I were to do this again, I would probably try two scoops at a time in order to make better pairings.

Quality ice cream and sorbet with unusual flavors, but super small portions (though most shops in France seem to give very little). The apricot lavender sorbet was tangy, creamy, and refreshing. A decent spot in the old town.

It was okay, but 5$ for 2 ice creams...I felt a bit overpriced. The staff was really nice but feel like the place is touristed.

Had matcha and sesame ice cream, was delicious and consistency really nice! The taste wasn't too strong what I love (less artificial). My gitlfriend had lavender and some sort of fleur d'orange (was it perfumed?? It tasted aweful to me, like someone put perfum on your ice-cream, so that was nothing for me). Price is a little high (I guess touristy) - 2,60€ for 1, 4,70€ for 2, etc. There were lots of different tastes, even cheese (for our riskier friends). Try it out!

As I strolled down the cobblestone street of this historic part of Lyon, my eyes lit up: the immense variety of flavours and the minimalist style pulled me in. I wasn't in the mood for dairy so got a strawberry sorbet - one of the many sorbets made with local, organic ingredients. And oh my god, it's the strawberry sorbet I've always dreamed of but never found: creamy texture, refreshing scent, sweet as only fresh strawberries could be. I was already in love with the gastronomy city of Lyon after several delicious meals. Finding THE perfect sorbet was like the cherry on top. Or, should I say, the strawberry on top.

Stumbled upon this gem while walking around the old town. They have so many flavors. Some are more eccentric than others. The ice cream is organic, fresh, and delicious. I recommend trying the basil, lavender, orange blossom, and honey-rosemary.

Heaven on earth... Blood orange!!!! Home made cream....very creative and delicious.....

Amazing ice cream! Loved this place - we stopped here every day while in Lyon - and its unbelievable selection of flavours. I loved the honey and madeleine, and the apple was fresh and tangy. The wild strawberry and vine peach (peche des vignes) were also both outstanding. The coconut was delicious and ordered more than once by my boyfriend, as was the rhubarb....mmmm! They use local fruit and had quite a few organic flavours, as well as lovely terrace around the corner if you are in the mood for a 'coupe' as opposed to a cone to walk the streets of Vieux Lyon with. Delicious and I will make a point of returning next time I am in Lyon!

I have been going to Terre d'Adélice since 2013 but have been utterly disappointed with the experience in the past year. I used to be in love with the number of flavors available and more particularly how innovative some of the combinations were. I was willing to turn a blind eye to the relatively expensive price tag because a large part of the offer is organic and in all cases care is taken in sourcing the best (and often most local) ingredients. Recently, the shop seems to have succombed to its own success. The flavors are still there but the service leaves much to be desired. You can only taste one flavor before buying (non transferable tasting privileges I might add). Serving sizes are far from generous for the price paid. Go at a popular time and expect to wait for at least 20 minutes. I can't speak for everyone but I would only wait that long if I were rewarded with an outstanding ice cream at the end. Until that is the case again I'll just head to Amorino's 2 minutes away where the staff smile while serving me an overfilled cup of the most delicious chocolate and pistachio sorbet!

I am so amazed by so many choices of taste and I chose lavender and Muscat raisin both surprised me! Now I am coming again and tired green tea /sesame /mango /coconut...can't wait for taste them

Great ice cream flavours, especially their matcha and salted caramel! A must-try in Lyon. Remember to ask for extra homemade chantilly cream -- the really pile it on sky high, and it's totally worth the extra 0.50€.

I don't usually get ice cream, but the long list of interesting and exotic flavors warrants a 5 star review. This is probably the most interesting ice cream shop I have seen in my 28 years on Earth.

The ice cream is so delicious. I do find it on the pricier side, but I suppose that's also because the dollar to euro conversion doesn't really favor me at the moment. In any case, there were many flavors to choose from, perhaps about 50? Some of the interesting ones I saw were wasabi, pistachio, stracciatella, and of course the usual such as green tea, strawberry, various versions of vanilla/chocolate, and other fruit flavors. I'm definitely going back to vieux lyon to try more flavors.

Very good ice cream, on par with some of the best ones I have had.

Really nice wait staff and friendly service. Ice cream and coffee were unusual and delicious...definitely a must try if you in the area

Really worth the time going there! Blood orange is really fresh, and the coconut flavor is a piece of heaven! It's a must try for every visitor!

Great variety of flavors. Not too sweet. The dark chocolate sorbet, mint, and fromage blanc flavors stood out from a selection of 10. Good quality. Nice patio for sitting, clean restroom.
