Ice-Cream!

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*


Ice-cream is definitely one of the things that Musselburgh is most famous for! There are two major ice-cream parlous in the town - S. Lucas and Di Rollos. Personally I think Lucas makes the best ice-cream (maybe in the world...) but many people favour Di Rollos..... PLEASE VOTE FOR THE BEST ICE-CREAM IN THE POLL TO THE RIGHT---->

S. Lucas is a family-run company that was started back in 1908. The man who started it all was called Luca Scappaticcio but this was changed around to S.Luca for an easier name. The company is still ran by Luca family members. At 84, Tino is the oldest Luca and he still has an active role. Lucas has a second shop in Morningside.

The counter offers soft scoop ice-cream in Luca's three main flavours - Vanilla (amazing), Chocolate and Strawberry. There is usually also a couple of speciality flavours such as mint chocolate chip and toffee fudgy wudgy. You can also buy big tubs of frozen ice-cream so you can store them up at home. Oriana Luca makes speciality ice-cream cakes to order for occasions such as birthdays and weddings. The counter also sells random and retro sweets you'd long forgotten about!

The cafe offers a big selection of snacks, light meals and an all-day breakfast to beat your hangover! There are sandwiches, paninis, toasties, homemade lasagne, homemade burgers, homemade soup, pizzas - and of course a selection of ice-cream sundaes!

Luca's is definitely worth a trip if you're in the area!
