Joy St.

On a hot day, ice-cream is the best. If you’re bored of Inside Scoop, check out this place. It’s slightly more expensive.

I had the kaya toast and mystery flavour (the one on the right).

This is RM10 for single scoop.

You can rely on the team at Joy St. to deliver lustrous gelato. We like the Salted Caramel (from RM10 per scoop) with its moreish, smoky flavour, while other bestsellers include the Earl Grey, Lotus Biscoff and a guilt-free Watermelon Lychee sorbet. If you like your dessert with a kick, go for their Rum & Raisin that sees just the right balance of bitter rum and sweetness.

The interior was decorated so dreamily. I felt as if I was walking into a scene out of a children’s storybook. ⁣

The moment I tasted Joy St.’s gelato, I was swiftly reminded of the difference between gelato and ice cream. Gelato is typically denser, more flavourful, and smoother (albeit being lower in calories!) than ice cream due to the lower amounts of air incorporated. ⁣

✨ I was a big fan of the silky, cool gelato offsetting the warm, fluffy waffle. Of the three flavours I sampled, my favourite has to be the earl grey flavour. The caramel flavour was just okay to me; it reminded me of cereal milk. ⁣

💬 However, I felt that the Vanilla was far too sweet. While I was midway through the gelato, it got a bit cloying. I wanted some water badly to wash the sugar down but unlike at Inside Scoop, you have to pay RM2 for water here. Will make a point to revisit and try out more flavours still! ⁣

There was so many interesting flavours and it all tasted so good. Had a hard time choosing one flavour. Best to come in a group and order multiple flavours to share. What I would loved during the tasting was the mango & avocado, matcha passion and biscoff. In frame: Rum and Raisin (RM16). Just the right balance of rum and sweetness.

Located next to Tiny Temptress, this new gelato shop is not to be missed. I had the earl grey and mint chocolate. The mint is made using fresh mint leaves instead of flavouring. Try their bestsellers - pistachio, earl grey, and watermelon lychee sorbet.

The new happy place in bangsar making everyone happy with its gelato.

The nutty pistachios gelato is my personal favourite.
