TOP 5 GELATO SHOPS IN SEMINYAK:
Gusto Gelato & Caffe
Gusto Gelato in Kerobokan offers a large variety of flavors that truly make it stand out. You’re getting great value here, with generous portions packed into a small cup. What’s even better is that the gelato is loaded with toppings mixed right into the base, not just sprinkled on top. Some of the more unique flavors include Chocolate Chili, Lemongrass, and Ginger – perfect for those wanting a twist on the usual.
It’s super easy to access, thanks to a traffic coordinator right outside. The staff greets you warmly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The space is pretty chill, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There’s also ample scooter parking at the back, so you won’t be circling the block for a spot. When I went, the place was fairly quiet, with just a few families enjoying their gelato.
🍦 What I Got
As a regular at Gusto, I stuck with two of my go-to flavors: Chocolate Macaroon and Straciatella. They never disappoint. Both were rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. I’d give it a solid 10/10 for taste.
Gusto Gelato & Caffe is worth a visit if you’re in the area and craving something sweet. It’s got the perfect balance of great flavors, a welcoming atmosphere, and some solid value for the price.
