Top 13 Ice cream and Gelatos in #MyDubai

In sadness, in frustration, in anger, in happiness, in joy, in celebration, in doubt… have Gelato! ??


First things first – there is a difference between a gelato and ice cream. Let’s get dem basics right first?

TL;DR: I like Gelato’s far more cuz they’re far superior in creaminess and the texture is absolutely beautiful (i.e. a party in my mouth).

NOTE: The below is not in ranking order. The cost may slightly differ based on season & taxes. For exact location, please check on Zomato. During this Quarantine, most even deliver! So don’t forget to support their businesses xx

I promise you, after trying these icecreams/gelatos, having it from a mass-produced brand may just not be the same. Most of the above are home-made regularly. Quick tip: If you go to a restaurant (mostly a fancy one), ask them if they make their ice cream in-house, if yes, it’ll be brilliant! If not, it will most likely be icy or you’ll taste/feel some crunchy icicles in your mouth, between your teeth.
