Schrams Gelato – Italian ice cream in the heart of Östhammar
If you’re passing through Östhammar (roughly 45 minutes from Söderfors) and craving genuinely good ice cream, Schrams Gelato is a must. This isn’t just a serving counter — it’s a proper temple for ice cream lovers, and you can taste and feel it in everything they do.
The place is known for surprising, thoughtfully crafted flavours. Think cherry with Italian summer vibes, brown butter that melts on your tongue, and apple cake ice cream that moves people to write reviews like poetry. They won the Swedish Ice Cream Championship, which says something about the standard. But it’s not all about adventurous flavours — a shrimp sandwich and ice cream are equally welcome here, and they’re just as good.
The atmosphere is nostalgic and cosy, and the staff are attentive and helpful. They’re happy to tailor your order to what you like. Open every day from 11 to 18, so there’s plenty of time to stop by.
Tip: Many wish there were a bit more shade at the seating when the sun is at its peak — bring a parasol or come on a cloudier day if you plan to linger.
