Non Solo Gelato Watamu
About This Spot
Stepping into Non Solo Gelato Watamu is like slipping into a gentle Italian daydream right by the Kenyan coast. The pace here is unhurried—an inviting pause from the bustle of Turtle Bay Road—where the hum of friendly conversations and the clinking of cups create a warm, familiar soundtrack. Palm trees sway just beyond the windows, framing an atmosphere that marries seaside charm with a touch of Mediterranean calm.
This spot feels both like a cherished neighborhood gathering place and a quiet retreat. Whether it’s the delicate pull of a croissant paired with a frothy cappuccino or the playful indulgence of sampling gelatos that surprise with flavors as diverse as salted caramel, passionfruit, or chocolate with a hint of local inspiration, every visit offers a small, sweet discovery. The space encourages lingering over moments—whether you’re savoring a slow breakfast, slipping into afternoon coffee reveries, or sharing light bites as the day gently unfolds.
Behind the counter, there's a genuine passion that infuses the experience. The heart of the place pulses in the welcoming smiles and thoughtful attentiveness of the team, making visitors feel seen even amid the lively flow of guests. The outdoor terrace lends itself to easy conversation or quiet reflection, a spot to watch the gentle rhythms of the day play out against a backdrop that is uniquely Watamu.
Non Solo Gelato invites you to savor the simple pleasures of great food, expertly crafted gelato, and a space where the texture of everyday moments becomes a quietly joyful ritual. It’s a place where time slows just enough to remind you that discovery often lives in the warmth of small, shared experiences.

Non Sono Gelato became part of our daily routine—we went every single day we were in Watamu. It genuinely feels like being in Italy, just with palm trees outside. Anna is the heart of the place, and she makes outstanding gelato—easily the best in Watamu and an absolute must. They also serve pizza and a solid range of food and drinks, which makes it an easy stop any time of day. It’s almost always busy, but service is quick and efficient, so it never feels like a hassle. And without question, get the affogato.

Enjoy wonderful ice cream here. They have crazy variety of ice creams with equal crazy tastes. They allow you to taste two varieties before you select your scoops you fall for. We didn't manage to get food because we were warned by the service crew that the waiting time for any meal is about 3hrs including a cup of tea. Other meals were taking longer. So we didn't manage to have a taste of their food. Watamu is a little tricky if you are race sensitive. This is an Italian place and I mean the clientele is almost 100% white Italians. You need to comfortable in your skin to visit this place.

Our waitress Agnes/Aggie has somehow always been there to serve us. This visit would have us over a dozen times and Agnes didn't fail to deliver with her bright smile, efficient service and great attention to our table despite a very busy restaurant. Just to lay eyes on Agne's beautiful face again would be enough of a reason to come back but the place does offer a great selection of breakfast, coffee and shakes, and even better gelato too.

The new space was lovely. Food was amazing. The service was good. We worked from there for a few hours, but the best thing was the ice cream always the ice cream makes us go back every time. We loved it… thank you.

Taste: the Dubai chocolate flavor was amazing!! Had to go back for it. Really nice creaminess too. Location: The outdoor seating overlooks a parking lot so I would suggest to put something (plants or woven mats) to hide that view of the terrace Price: a bit pricey — 700 for two scoops on the smaller size.

Went on a quiet weekday afternoon. Lovely dessert hangout. Tucked behind the roadside shops so might miss it if you aren’t keen enough. Great legit ice-cream options and baked foods. We got the stracciatella and the after 8. Perfectly creamy and loaded with flavor. All-in-all a perfect 5!
