Top 10 Desserts To Try At Camden Market

Top 10 Desserts To Try At Camden Market

1. Amorino

Located just a short distance away from Camden Market itself, Amorino is easily spotted as you make your way up to the market from Camden Town tube station. Designed in a similar way to the elegant gelaterias of the Italian cities, Amorino is a spot popular with Londoners looking to get a delicious gelato fix, whatever the weather.

All their ice creams are handmade with natural ingredients, making sure that every scoop is of the highest quality. The flavours are traditional and sourced from all over the world – think Brazilian bananas, Ecuadorian chocolate, or Indian alphonso mango.

Of course, you could enjoy this incredible gelato in a traditional cup or cone, but what would be the fun in that? Amorino will happily pile a few scoops onto a waffle or a crepe, or pack them into a neat little box with some delicate macarons to go with it.

If you’re serious about your gelato art, why not try one of their gorgeous Amorino roses, with each petal a different flavour, carefully swirled into a waffle cone. It’ll make the most incredible picture, and you get to eat it afterwards!

5. The Cheese Bar

If you say that salty, savoury cheese might be the last thing that comes to mind when you’re dreaming up the perfect dessert, then Camden Market’s The Cheese Bar says different. It’s true that they are famous for their deliciously cheesy main meals, but their cheese-based desserts are also a firm favourite with all who try them.

At the time of writing, you can try the chocolate and goat’s cheese mousse – it’s a rich and full flavoured dessert that’s unlike any you’ve ever tasted, and will leave you wanting more straight away.

However, if that’s not your thing, make sure to check back regularly, as the menu changes seasonally so there’s always something fresh and new to explore and enjoy. If you prefer a more traditional or savoury after dinner treat, then place an order for one of their legendary cheese boards, filled with a weekly rotation of the best seasonal, local cheese.

6. Cereal Killer Cafe

Camden Market

When you think of hipsters in London, it’s likely that the gimmick of the cereal cafe is one of the first things that comes to mind. It has become a cult favourite for a reason – everyone has enjoyed cereal at some point, whether in the morning before school as a child, or at the office or even for dinner as an adult.

So if you’re feeling nostalgic for the familiar breakfast cereals of your childhood, or fancy trying an unusual new variety, why not take a trip to the cafe that started it all, Cereal Killer? As you can probably guess from the name, these guys are obsessed with cereal. So obsessed, in fact, that there are over 100 varieties of it available at their cafe.

Make your choice, from old fashioned Coco Pops to sugary Lucky Charms all the way from America. Whatever your choice, enjoy it the old fashioned way, in a bowl with milk, or shake it up by blending with ice cream into a milkshake, or add biscuits and chocolate milk with one of their Superbowls. It’s the perfect blend of breakfast and dessert!

7. Chin Chin Labs

Camden Market is perhaps best known for its inventive, innovative food stalls, some of which you won’t find anywhere else. Arguably one of the most famous examples of this is Chin Chin Labs, an ice cream stall with a difference. There’s no Soleros or Magnum lollies here, as Chin Chin Labs serves up scoops of liquid nitrogen ice cream. Don’t worry, there’s no scary chemicals here.

The folks at Chin Chin simply believe that liquid nitrogen is the best way to create smooth, ultra chilled ice cream, that makes an awesome video as it’s scooped up with billowing clouds of swirling liquid nitrogen ‘smoke.’

Choose from an array of classic comforting flavours, including chocolate and vanilla, or pop by week in, week out for their rotating special flavour of the week. Enjoy your scoop on its own or with a range of unusual toppings, such as bee pollen or truffle crumble, or add it to their range of desserts and ice cream sandwiches.

9. Dutch Pancakes

Ok, chances are you didn’t come all the way to London in search of authentic Dutch food. You’d go to Amsterdam for that, right? However, one taste of these delicious, fluffy little mini pancakes, also known as poffertjes, and it won’t matter at all!

Dutch Pancakes have taken this traditional Dutch treat and turned it into a transportable London street food, easy to share amongst your group and savour as you stroll around the rest of the market.

They’re fried up hot and fresh to order, and served piled high in a neat little cardboard boat or paper plate. Toppings include nutella, icing sugar, maple syrup, sliced banana, whipped cream and fresh strawberries, so you can personalise your order to make it as healthy or indulgent as you like.

This popular stand is known to get busy after lunch time, as tourists and locals alike look for a sweet treat after their midday meal. Make sure you visit early to avoid a long queue.
