Gelateria Lavanda, Vrboska – ice cream, sorbet and coffee on Nova Riva by the sea
Gelateria Lavanda is located on Nova Riva in Vrboska, right by the sea and the harbour, making it a convenient stop during a stroll along the coast. The main attraction is the ice cream, but Lavanda also operates as a small café where one can enjoy an espresso, a cold drink, or homemade lemonade.
The outdoor tables overlook the harbour and the moored boats, with some seating in the shade. Due to its location, Lavanda is not just a place to grab ice cream and move on – it’s pleasant to linger for a few minutes by the sea and observe the daily life of Vrboska’s waterfront.
Ice cream and sorbet
Ice cream is the main offering at Gelateria Lavanda.
A variety of flavours is available, and alongside classic ice cream, they also offer sorbets, which are a refreshing choice during the hottest part of the day or for those seeking something light.
The selection of flavours may change, so it’s best to check what’s available in the display case on the day of your visit.
Ice cream can be taken away or enjoyed at a table by the sea.
Homemade lemonade and cold drinks
In addition to ice cream, one of the particularly enjoyable options during summer is homemade lemonade.
Other refreshing drinks are also available, making Lavanda a good stop during a walk through Vrboska or on the way back from the beach.
The combination of sorbet or ice cream with cold lemonade is especially delightful on hot summer afternoons.
Coffee by the Vrboska harbour
Lavanda is not just an ice cream parlour but also a café.
You can sit down for an espresso or other coffee, and the terrace by the sea makes it a pleasant spot for a morning pause before the place gets busier.
Its location on Nova Riva offers views of the boats and the opposite side of the bay, so even a simple coffee here has the typical summer atmosphere of Vrboska.
Outdoor seating in the shade
There are outdoor tables in front of the gelateria.
Part of the area is shaded, and the proximity to the sea along with the breeze from the harbour makes sitting outside more comfortable during the warmer parts of the day.
This is an important distinction from an ice cream shop that serves only takeaway – here, you can stay, have a coffee or lemonade, and take a break from your walk.
A great spot during an evening stroll
Vrboska is most pleasant for an evening walk along the sea, and Gelateria Lavanda is conveniently located on one of the routes through the town centre.
After dinner, you can stop by for ice cream or sorbet, then continue your stroll along the harbour and over Vrboska’s bridges.
There’s no need to plan your visit in advance, as the location is easily accessible from the old town and other parts of the centre.
Close to St. Peter's Church and the harbour entrance
Lavanda is situated in the part of the waterfront near St. Peter's Church and the outer part of Vrboska harbour.
This makes it a fitting stop during a tour of the town that includes a walk by the sea, a visit to St. Peter's Church, the bridges, and the old town.
Everything is close enough to explore on foot.
Getting there and parking
If you are staying in Vrboska, the easiest way to reach Gelateria Lavanda is on foot.
The establishment does not have confirmed private parking for guests. If you are arriving by car, it is more practical to use public parking spaces in Vrboska and walk the last part along the waterfront.
During the peak summer season, do not expect to find a free parking space right next to the venue.
Who is Gelateria Lavanda a good choice for?
Lavanda is primarily a place for those who want good ice cream or sorbet by the sea, without the need to go to a large café or restaurant.
It works well throughout the day: in the morning for coffee, in the afternoon for ice cream, sorbet, or lemonade, and in the evening as a quick stop during a walk along the waterfront.
The main draw is the simple combination of ice cream, cold drinks, and its location right by Vrboska harbour.
