As locals of a certain vintage will remember, Mr Boni’s was a household name in Edinburgh, with outlets in Gilmore Place, St Mary’s Street and Cockburn Street.
These pleasure parlours were a popular choice for children’s birthday parties thanks to Mr Boni’s delicious ice cream cakes, and loved by locals, who flocked there to enjoy a wide variety of different Italian ices, and colossal knickerbocker glories.
We’ve had rummage through the Evening News archives to bring you a selection of photos showing the famous Mr Boni’s brand down the years.
