The Gelato Delights display case full of colourful gelato

The best gelato in town.

Our case stays cold day and night, even through power cuts, so every scoop is as smooth as the day it was made.

What is gelato?

Gelato is Italian ice cream, made a little differently. Here's what that means for your scoop.

Less air

Gelato has 20–30% less air than ice cream, so it's denser and creamier.

Less fat

Made with more milk and less cream, so nothing hides the flavour.

More flavour

Less air and less fat mean every flavour tastes stronger and truer.

Served warmer

Our case keeps it around −13 °C, warmer than a freezer, so it's soft and silky.

The result?

Richer taste.Smoother texture.More intense flavour.

Fun fact: gelato melts faster than ice cream, because it's fresh. Eat it quickly!

What our customers say

“Best ice cream in Buja, hands down. They run a generator to make sure their gelato doesn't melt and refreeze, and you can tell.”
