As the summer heat in Hong Kong intensifies, nothing beats the sweltering temperatures like an indulgent scoop of ice cream. With its rich, creamy texture and diverse flavor options, ice cream offers the perfect respite from the city’s warmth.
Hong Kong’s ice cream scene is thriving, offering a variety of unique flavors and catering to every dietary need, from traditional creamy concoctions to dairy-free alternatives. The city is home to numerous ice cream shops that not only offer delicious frozen treats but also surprise with inventive collaborations and seasonal specials.
To help ice cream lovers navigate their options, Tatler Hong Kong’s team has shared some of their favorite spots to grab a refreshing scoop and cool down.
One standout is Snack Baby, located on Hollywood Road. This ice cream haven combines two beloved elements of Italian cuisine: gelato and refreshing cocktails. Made fresh daily, the gelato at Snack Baby is renowned for its impeccable quality and innovative flavor combinations.
The shop’s menu features 14 gelato varieties, from timeless classics like pistachio crunch and rich chocolate to more daring options like blackberry and cinnamon. However, the staff recommends the often-overlooked yet delightful caffè flavor. For those with dietary restrictions, several flavors are available in dairy-free, lactose-free, and vegan options, with cashew milk or lactose-free milk used for a creamy, indulgent experience.
In addition to its gelato offerings, Snack Baby also serves a range of cocktails each evening, including Italian classics like the Negroni, along with creative twists on familiar favorites. It’s the perfect destination for a sweet treat or a refreshing drink to unwind after a day in the city’s heat.
