Discover Scoop & Brew, hailed as Medan's best gelato spot! While it gets incredibly crowded on weekends, the smooth, perfectly sweet gelato is worth the hype. Don't miss their unique local flavors like the refreshing Kedondong (ambarella fruit) or the surprisingly delicious Jasuke (corn, milk, cheese). Chocolate lovers will adore the rich Dark Chocolate, especially paired with a crispy waffle. For a more relaxed experience, be sure to visit on a weekday afternoon for the ultimate chill treat.
Every time I come to Medan, my lokal friends always insist I try this place, Scoop & Brew, calling it the "best Gelato in town". To be honest, the first time I came, I was almost turned off. The shop isn't big, and on weekends, it's as crowded as a wet market; you basically have to shout to be heard.
But once you take a bite, you'll instantly understand the hype. The texture of the Gelato is incredibly smooth, not like that overly sweet, artificial ice cream flavor at all; the sweetness is just right. There are so many flavors it'll trigger your analysis paralysis, but luckily, you can try them for free! Girls, listen to me, you have to try their signature Kedondong Gelato! It's made from the lokal ambarella fruit—sweet, sour, and refreshing, cutting through any richness in an instant. You really can't find this flavor anywhere else. Chocolate lovers, go straight for the Dark Chocolate Gelato; it's so rich it's insane. Pair it with a Waffle that's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—who can resist this combo! I also discovered a magical flavor, Jasuke (corn, milk, cheese). It sounds a bit weird, but the mix of salty and sweet is surprisingly harmonious.
To be fair, the prices aren't cheap for Medan; a mini double scoop costs 45,000 Rupiah, but for this quality of flavor, I think it's worth it. However, their coffee is a matter of personal taste. My friend thought it was okay, but if you're a serious coffee aficionado, you might find it a bit "amateurish", so I'd suggest skipping it. Oh, right, if you want water after your ice cream, they don't provide it for free here; you have to buy it, which is a little stingy, haha.
Your girl's got the key takeaways for you (get your notebooks ready):
- 🚶♀️Avoid the crowds: Want to Nongkrong in peace and quiet? I'm begging you, don't come on weekends or during meal times! It gets insanely crowded, and the experience just plummets. Coming on a weekday afternoon is the most Chill.
- 🛋️Seating strategy: The first floor is mainly for ordering. If you want a place to sit and chat, you can go straight up to the coffee area on the second floor; the space is a bit more separate.
- 🍦Ordering tips: If you're indecisive, be bold and ask for samples! For girls with smaller appetites, the Mini Double Scoop is enough; you can try two flavors at once, and the portion is just right.
- 📸Photo op poses: Don't just take pictures of the ice cream; have a friend take a candid shot of your satisfied expression when you take that first bite. Now that's what I call authentic
- Kedondong Gelato is a must-try! This unique local flavor is sweet, sour, and refreshing, perfect for cutting richness .
- Dark Chocolate Gelato: For chocoholics! Insanely rich. Pair with a crispy, fluffy Waffle. Irresistible! .
- Hidden gem: Jasuke (corn, milk, cheese)! Sounds weird, but the sweet & salty mix works perfectly. You have to try it
