Gelateria Mr Whippy In Salerno

THE BEST DESSERT SHOP ON THE PLANET ! My wife and I arrived in Salerno the previous evening to commence our 3 week vacation in Italy and France. After a huge sleep-in to get over our jet lag we hit the road with a bounce in our step on Wednesday morning to explore beautiful Salerno. FIRST UP ! We enjoyed a fabulous breakfast at Caffe dell'Arechi on Corso Vittorio Emanuele ( the huge pedestrian mall that runs through the middle of downtown Salerno ). As we were leaving I asked the guy behind the counter...where can we get great desserts ? Mr Whippy was his surprising reply. WHY ? Well when I was a young kid growing up in Brisbane, Qld back in Australia Mr Whippy was an ice cream van that patrolled our neighborhood every Sunday playing an old English folk song ( Greensleeves ) and serving soft serve ice cream in wafer cones. WE LOVED IT ! My wife and I headed off ( with dessert at Mr Whippy on the brain ) to continue our discovery of Salerno stopping to look at lots of retail stores and eventuality having some delicious Arancini for a late lunch at Pizzeria Giagiu. DESSERT ! Salerno is a fun coastal city to navigate and we found our way to Mr Whippy without much trouble. HOLY COW ! There were a bunch of people sitting on their outdoor patio munching away at delicious looking desserts. We went inside and a young lady named Karen behind the counter welcomed us. MORE DESSERT CHOICES THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE ! Karen offered us samples of their gelato..a kind of soft serve variety. It was smooth and creamy but we wanted more decadence. AND THEN ! We spotted a bunch of chocolate coated gelato bars in a refrigerated display cabinet. YES PLEASE ! My wife selected a SNICKERS BAR and I went with a BOUNTY BAR. We paid and found a table on the patio to enjoy our incredible desserts. TOTALLY DELICIOUS ! Never before have we enjoyed anything as deliciously decadent as our chocolate coated gelato desserts. WE WANTED MORE ! The desserts were too good to be true so we decided to buy something else to take back to our apartment. THE STORY ! So I told Karen my childhood story about Mr Whippy and how surprised we were to find a gourmet dessert shop in Salerno, Italy named Mr Whippy. Karen explained that the owner once visited Australia and saw a Mr Whippy van. HA HA ! We selected 2 amazing looking desserts...Sette Sensi and Tropical. It wasn't until a couple of days later that we had them for dessert after a fabulous dinner at our apartment. They contained the creamiest mousse we have ever enjoyed.....heavenly desserts ! Oh and Karen gave us a great tip before we left Mr Whippy....the pizza at Don Antonio 1970 is fabulous. AND IT WAS !

Extremely delicious cakes and other pastries. I haven't discovered anything there that didn't taste really good. Everything delicious, everything a little different, everything quite sophisticated, everything nicely prepared. Not cheap, but worth the price. Nice atmosphere in a small piazza. Friendly staff.

Really nice place, even though I'm not a fan of pancakes, theirs are really good. Recommended!

Characteristic and well positioned to enjoy the center and the seafront! Sweets for true lovers of unlimited sugar, slice of cake portioned correctly for one person, excellent ice cream, fresh and crunchy cone. Quick, efficient service and good cleanliness. Definitely worth trying again, recommended.

Whippy's stuffed chatter is a real find! Crispy just right, with a creamy filling that makes them even more irresistible. The crunchiness is top, truly perfect, and the taste of the filling enhances every bite. Of all of them, the hazelnut ones are the best: creamy, enveloping and super delicious!!!🥹😋

Delicious ice cream and pistachio coffee is poetry

The chatter is good, perhaps a little sweet especially the peanut ones (I didn't expect that!) but still very good! perhaps my favorites are the pistachio ones! I'm sorry they arrived a little broken but it's normal since I purchased them online, I will definitely try other products!

Delicious desserts, ice creams and yoghurts. The yogurt is the best in the region!!!

Doverosa una recensione per un’eccellenza chi si trova nella meravigliosa Salerno. Pasticceria artigianale di altissima fattura e lavorazione di materie prime. Il tiramisù che ho gustato è stato semplicemente buonissimo. La varietà di prodotti è considerevole, come la vista del babà in vetrina che non ho ancora avuto il piacere di provare. Mi tocca dare solo 4 stelle e non 5 per via del prezzo, perché per due caffè e un tiramisù il costo di 9 euro mi è sembrato un po’ troppo eccessivo.

Pasticceria moderna con buoni lievitati, buoni gelati e dolci particolarmente golosi. Mi saranno sfuggite eventuali eccellenze ma è una tappa che ci sta!
