Bali’s heat and tropical nature are a perfect backdrop to enjoy creamy gelato and sweet ice cream!
Thanks to Bali being an international hub, many Italian chefs and local enthusiasts opened gelato shops here and there, so we can all enjoy this creamy goodness.
From Ubud to Uluwatu, here are the best ice cream shops and gelaterias in Bali you should check out!
Our Favourite Spots To Eat The Best Gelato And Ice Cream In Bali
Gusto Gelato, Seminyak
Probably, the most visited gelato spot on the island opened in 2011, and they make it taste like an authentic Italian treat.
Gusto Gelato has a long list of sorbets and gelato, including some unique options like avocado chocolate (delicious!), durian, ginger, mung bean, or refreshing lemongrass!

Gelato Republic, Seminyak
A small ice cream shop located in Bintang Supermarket Plaza, where you can get nice gelato, gelato shakes, and icy sorbet.
Pistachio and cheesecake flavours are absolutely the best, but other options are really good, too, so choose with your heart (and stomach). They offer cups and colourful cones.

Ettore Gelato, Pererenan
A small shop with such great gelato that there are always people queuing on the sidewalk. The Italian chef creates all the flavours with so much passion and love, you can really taste it.
Lemon gelato and mango mint are our secret favourites here! And the cookie crackers they insert in each portion are so good, you won’t be able to decide which you liked more: the actual gelato or the cookie.

Al Bacio Gelato, Canggu
At Al Bacio, they make about 18 flavours for you to enjoy, from classic gelato to sundae-style ice cream.
Lotus Biscoff waffles with gelato are our top tick, but if you want something light and tangy, order passionfruit gelato. A big advantage is that they sell vegan gelato, too, and with a nice selection!

Amore Gelato & Pastry, Kerobokan
A local breakfast and lunch spot with gelato and sorbet at a very reasonable price. Cup or cone, you decide, and you can add a few flavours to one portion, too!
The flavours are mostly classic: lemon, pistachio, peanut butter, but you can find trendy matcha or tropical soursop sorbet.

Domaro Bali Coffee & Gelato, Seminyak
Another place to enjoy ice cream in Seminyak is Domaro. It is right on the beach, so you can get a cup to enjoy the sunset!
A small cup is 30,000 IDR (3 AUD), pretty standard price for ice cream in Bali. Get something light and fruity: strawberry or mango, and something for sweet tooths like salted caramel and honeycomb or classic rum and raisins.

A gelato pit-stop for those walking down to the beach in Berawa.
The team makes classic Italian gelato flavours following the recipes a whole team of Italian chefs created for their ice cream lab!
Stracciatella and Snickers are not to miss! As usual, you can get your scoops in a crunchy cone or a cup.

Grande Gelato, Seminyak
Grande Gelato is an ice cream takeaway shop selling 24 delicious flavours at relatively higher prices. Located next to many nightclubs, this stall is best for late-night cravings.
Although choice is good, we always go for pistachio. The taste is decent, but probably can’t fully compete with some top-level gelato makers in Bali.

Gaya Gelato, Pererenan
An iconic Italian gelato place with a few outlets in South Bali. We often go to the Pererenan shop, it’s relatively new and has fewer crowds.
Matcha, strawberry, and peanut butter gelato are worth a bite here. You can take it home or to the beach, or sit down at the shop; they have a few tables.

Gelato Factory, Uluwatu
Another chain of ice cream shops you can find in malls and tourist hubs is Gelato Factory. Really good quality and fair prices.
They brought Italian recipes and machines and combined them with locally sourced ingredients like coffee or vanilla to make some all-time favourites like hazelnut gelato, pistachio, and 28 more unique flavours, but also vegan gelato, sorbet, gelato ice cream sandwiches, and popsicles.
You won’t leave this shop without an ice cream, that’s for sure!

Apart from familiar flavours, they experiment with gelato, creating a charcoal version, brownie ice cream, and all-natural sorbet.
You can pair your ice cream with a pair of warm waffles, too!

Dolci Gelato, Kuta
Dolci Gelato is quite popular with its two shops (Kuta and Seminyak). Amazing ice cream served in their homemade cones at a very budget-friendly price.
Flavour-wise, we’d recommend trying as many as you can out of their 40+ options, from dark chocolate or coconut to s’mores!
Note that the Kuta shop doesn’t have a sitting area; it is takeaway only.

Popella Gelato, Seminyak
Sitting right on the main Sunset Road, it can be a stop on your way from Canggu to Uluwatu or the airport.
They serve really rich, creamy gelato, dense milkshakes, and can even teach you how to make a milkshake. And those milkshakes are worth it, both visually and flavour-wise. We went for choco classic gelato and it didn’t disappoint.

Pinkies Gelato & Coffee, Kuta
Stylish coffee and award-winning gelato shop with a total of 12 classic and extravagant flavours to choose from.
Many go for trendy matcha ice cream, especially if you don’t like ice cream that’s overly sweet. If you’re set on something more familiar, Dubai Chocolate is delish.

Tukies Coconut Shop, Ubud
Tukies’ specialty is all things coconut, including the most delicious coconut ice cream you will find in Bali.
The Coconut Wafer Roll is what you need to get – a cup full of homemade coconut ice cream, coconut shavings, and rolled wafer.
The menu is really big, and you can get other desserts or an ice cream bowl with fruit, too.

Vaniglia, Ubud
Beautiful two-storey breakfast and brunch spot with a good selection of Italian gelato.
They make 23 different flavours, mostly all classic, except a few inspired by Bali, like coconut pandan or mango. We usually get Biscoff or Stracciatella. Some flavours are vegan, too.

Blend Gelateria, Ubud
A small shop behind Monkey Forest that very few people know serves good gelato. Choice may not be as big, but staple flavours are top-notch, think pistachio or ricotta and almond.
We like that they serve ice cream in a cup and give you a cone to crunch on; it avoids melting and dripping.

Sandara Gelato, Uluwatu
With two shops in Uluwatu, Sandara Gelato offers regular and vegan ice cream.

Mixue, Jimbaran
Eat ice cream like a local at Mixue – it is a crazy popular ice cream shop in Indonesia and Malaysia with dozens of shops all over the island.
They make something similar to soft serve, sundaes, and iced drinks and shakes made with ice cream. It is super sweet, probably not all natural, but super cheap – a cone of classic ice cream is just 8,000 IDR (80 cents).
