You'll find this friendly village cafe in Stratton, just north of Cirencester, where it specializes in authentic Italian-style gelato made with genuine care and attention.
The shop stocks both classic and seasonal flavours, and it's a genuinely worthwhile stop if you're passing through on a sunny day or need a proper break during your explorations of the area.
The cafe serves good coffee and tea alongside light snacks, so it works well if you need sustenance between walks or drives through the surrounding lanes. Stratton itself deserves a wander, with traditional stone buildings that give the village real character and charm. It sits conveniently close to Cirencester, the historic market town that anchors this part of the Cotswolds, where you'll find plenty to keep you occupied, from the remains of the Roman amphitheatre to the abbey grounds and a particularly good selection of independent shops.
This is the kind of place that works well as a pleasant interlude, whether you're making a circuit of nearby villages or heading between Cirencester and the settlements further north. It doesn't demand much of your time, but it rewards a stop, and you'll leave with a proper gelato and perhaps a better sense of what Stratton has to offer beyond the main tourist trail.
