ICE CREAM / GELATO

This was also great!! Very refreshing and light, not too sour, sweet, nor gingery, but each component (lemon, honey, ginger) was discernible and went well together. I'm not a sorbet person usually but this I would order again~ Super satisfied with both flavours!!

A seasonal flavour! Nutty, buttery, with a pleasant honey sweetness. Yet not heavy or saccharine, with little macadamia bits that gave some texture. It's super good!!

They rotate seasonal flavours very frequently, I think once the batch finishes they move on to the next. So when I had this I knew I had to buy a pint home right away to share the joy with my fam. They loved it a lot too, I kinda think I should have bought 2 pints back now 🤪

The lady also gave us a mini scoop of sourdough hazelnut gelato be we only wanted 2 scoops but were choosing between 3 flavours. Thank you for the sweet gesture! There’s real sd bits in it so at first I felt the spongy parts were a bit strange, but I warmed up to it after having more! The hazelnut flavour is distinct but I thought could be more roasty, overall it’s surprisingly light for a nut flavour and not ridics sweet like nutella.

Quite liked the chamomile flavour, it was mellow and soothing. I've never had a chamomile ice cream before. Could see the bits of the chamomile flower in it. It paired well with the honey and subtle sweetness of blue pea. Extra points that it was a pretty colour.

Cold brew coffee w cocoa nibs was alright, the coffee taste was present but not too strong. But I’ve had better coffee ice cream (gelatiamo!!)

Texture can be improved, tho smooth it's kinda thin. But also bc of that it's quite light and not too filling. It'll do on a hot day when I want something cold, and I’ll only visit if I'm around the area, not make a special trip for.

Both were quite smooth and creamy, but I like the slightlyyy lighter mouthfeel plus lower sweetness in gelatiamo’s gelatos, it’s more refreshing. After this I wanted to drink water.

In terms of flavour both were pretty nutty and distinct, hazelnut melted a lot faster tho. My friend and I both preferred the flavour profile of the pistachio over the hazelnut! Not bad, I wouldn’t mind trying their other flavours.

Sorbet wasn’t icy, the rose thankfully wasn’t very strong as I’m not usually a fan, peach was more dominant here. Was an okay flavour, felt that it was a tiny bit more gummy, maybe due to the pectin in peaches??

Vanilla fig was great as usual 🫶🏻 I like that the vanilla bean flavour is distinct (especially at the start) and you can see specks of vanilla so you know it’s from the pod and not an extract/flavouring. The fig comes in to bring some texture and additional natural sweetness!

I don’t usually go for strawberry ice cream but I tried this flavour once and I enjoyed it so it’s become one of my go-to flavours when I visit creamier.

Tho it’s cream based and not a sorbet, it’s still refreshing and doesn’t taste too artificial (I hope/think they use only real strawberries and not jam/flavouring), and has some tiny crumble bits that make it taste a bit like strawberry cheesecake ice cream!

Kinda disappointed that I found it okay only, given the 5 star google reviews. They allow for tasting before ordering - the uncle gave us a spoon of croissant (wasn’t v croissant-ish, I was not sure what I tasted) and pancake (maple syrup was the distinct taste) to try, felt that these had a bit of a floury taste?? The pistachio which I opted to try was alright, could be more nutty. The rum and raisin was the nicest out of all, there was a nice rummy sweetness to it.

I wasn’t inclined to make a return trip, but I want to give it another try, maybe other flavours are better?

Their pistachio gelato is great as usual! Smooth, roasty nutty pistachio goodness, but not overly thick (so it’s not so gelat). I looove!!

The coffee dalgona had a nice strong coffee taste, but I wish they would do away with the dalgona bit (honeycomb swirled in, if I remember correctly) as those parts were too sweet.

The pear was very refreshing and pleasant, and had pear bits in it that gave textural variation. We liked it!

WOW I haven’t had waffles that I really liked in a longgg while - I used to really like creamier/sf’s waffles but I feel that it became less fluffy the last time I had it.

Gelatiamo’s waffles were brilliant! Delicately crisp outside, but still manages to be soft and chewy inside, whilst not being too thick / jelat.

We’ve had their gelatos many many times before, and each time it is of a consistently good texture. Smooth and creamy, with distinct flavours that are as described.

I rmb not liking the coffee flavour the previous time, but this time it was great, with the coffee flavour coming through, and it’s no longer as coarse as before (they put coffee grounds in it). The earl grey was lovely as well, with a strong tea flavour that was surprisingly bright, almost refreshing. Kinder bueno was on the sweeter side, but it was different from what I expected. It wasn’t a rich chocolatey hazelnut super-sweet flavour, but more of a caramelised(?) hazelnut flavour. Interesting and different, but I preferred the coffee / earl grey.

I’ve always considered gelatiamo as a place for reliably great gelato. In addition to that, I’ll now be mentally assigning it as my go-to place when we want to have waffles!

Didn’t try the ube but the bf said it was very Tammy, but also very sweet. Can try once but not something to go back for. The kaya chendol was not bad, it’s sweet but it’s true to its name, I liked it! Texture for both is like their usual standard, pretty thick. We used the burpple 1-4-1 deal for this so it was only $2.50 per scoop!

Strawberry basil was quite refreshing, the basil was quite strong and lent a herby flavour to the strawberry base. It’s interesting and quite pleasant, but I wouldn’t reorder. The pistachio was lightly nutty and on the milkier side, we prefer a more intensely nutty one (like dawn’s / dopa’s) as we usually share our gelatos and it doesn’t get too cloying. But this one we could probably eat a full scoop by ourselves as it’s light! So I guess it depends on what your preference is.

The cones was alright, thin and crisp but quite fragile. Can try!

Tasted neither like maple nor walnut - on first taste it had this weird cookie dough taste that wasn’t very pleasant. The only saving grace was the texture I guess, it was quite thick and smooth. Would not recommend.

My friends got other flavours and I got to try - the matcha is better, quite strongly matcha and reasonably bitter; the coconut lychee is also another flavour to avoid as the coconut cream taste was too strong and tasted quite off-putting, not refreshing at all and the lychee flavour was barely discernible; pistachio was lightly nutty but more on the milky side so those who prefer a more intensely nutty one would find it a bit mild.
I think the sunset way outlet has better flavours. But I’ve tried burnt cones thrice and it hasn’t really impressed so this visit affirms that it’s not someplace I’ll go to unless someone else suggests it + can redeem burpple. At the original price of $6 per premium scoop it’s a bit much for something that is *okay only*.
