Discover a hidden gem in Kelapa Gading where authentic Italian gelato is just 22k for two scoops! This seriously underrated shop, run by an Italian owner, serves up must-try flavors like a rich, natural Pistachio and the unique local favorite, Marie Regal. Beyond the amazing value, you can also grab delicious Brioche bread and get free samples before you buy. Be prepared for a potential line at this popular neighborhood spot—it’s worth the wait for this authentic taste.
Girls, I'm seriously shook. I was just wandering around Kelapa Gading and stumbled upon a Gelato place where two scoops are only 22k Indonesian Rupiah[1]?! At first, I thought I read it wrong. Isn't this price a joke in Jakarta? The shop is just one of those clean little white buildings in a neighborhood. If there wasn't a line at the door, I probably would have walked right past it.
Walking in, the all-white design just feels so comfortable to look at. I heard the owner is Italian[2], so the recipe is super authentic. I was torn for a while, but after an enthusiastic recommendation from the staff (you can get free samples, btw[3]!), I chose the Pistachio[4] and the lokal special, Marie Regal flavor. OMG, the pistachio flavor is so pure! It's not that overly sweet artificial flavor, but the natural, rich aroma of the nuts themselves, and the texture is incredibly smooth. And the Marie Regal is even more Anjay! Turning the nation's favorite biscuit into ice cream—whoever came up with that is a genius! The texture is soft, it's super milky, Mantap!
Gotta be real for a sec, though. A long-time fan told me that the portion size feels a tiny bit smaller than a few years ago[5], but considering the price, it's totally forgivable. Another small thing to nitpick: I saw some comments saying the staff might use the same spoon for samples[6], so germaphobes might want to pay attention or just ask them to change it.
