Our Favourite Spots To Eat The Best Gelato And Ice Cream In Bali
Gusto Gelato, 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
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
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
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
100% organic and natural gelato sold by Gelato Secrets is the ice cream of choice in places like FINNS Beach Club.
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
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
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
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
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).

Massimo, Sanur
If you’re staying in Sanur you have to try gelato ice cream at Massimo! It is so creamy and delicious, with perfect balance of classic and unique flavours.
You can choose between about 14 flavours and even combine a few different scoops in one cone or order an ice cream creation in a bowl, if dining in.
Plus, ice cream here is really affordable. We opt for Nicciolino (hazelnut gelato with coffee) and classic banana split-style ice cream.
