About this restaurant
Non Solo Gelato by Anna Watamu
There are some places in Watamu that become part of the routine, and Non Solo Gelato by Anna is one of them. Famous for its authentic Italian gelato, this Blue Moon Mall favourite is the perfect stop when the coast gets hot and only something cold, creamy, and properly made will do.
Widely considered the best gelato in Kenya! and that is not an exaggeration... Anna, an Italian artisan gelataia, produces small-batch gelato daily using traditional methods and locally sourced ingredients. The name means "Not Just Gelato," and true to its word, this family-run gem doubles as an Italian deli and café. Rated 4.7 on TripAdvisor with nearly 200 reviews, it is one of the highest-rated food spots on the entire Kenyan coast.
Beat the Heat!
Perfect for families and cooling down on a hot Watamu day with a cold sweet treat and classic Italian coffee!
The Gelato
Flavours rotate daily, made fresh each morning. Regulars swear by the Stracciatella, After Eight (dark chocolate and mint), and the Dubai Chocolate. The fruit sorbets, especially strawberry and passion fruit, are intensely flavoured and dairy-free. Each scoop costs around KES 700 for two generous portions. The gelato case is small but curated; everything in it is exceptional!
Beyond Gelato
The "Non Solo" part is real. The deli counter stocks imported Italian cold cuts (prosciutto, mortadella), cheeses (pecorino, parmigiano), wines, and prosecco, hard to find anywhere else on the coast. Fresh croissants and Cannoli Siciliani are baked daily. Proper Italian espresso with oat, soy, and almond milk options. They also carry a curated line of health products: protein powders, probiotics, and collagen supplements and make healthy breakfasts as well as Pizzas and main dishes for lunch and dinner too- they have it all!
The Vibe
Relaxed, casual, and easy. Non Solo Gelato has that simple Watamu charm: friendly, familiar, and always tempting when the sun is hot. It is a must-visit for families, couples, gelato lovers, and anyone needing a proper Italian fix by the coast.
