Scoop Dreams & Summer Schemes
India’s ice cream story is anything but simple. From slow-churned kulfis infused with saffron and pistachio to indulgent sundaes and globally inspired gelatos, every scoop carries a bit of history and a lot of joy. This summer, the country’s ice cream scene is balancing nostalgia with innovation, where iconic institutions stand strong alongside new-age artisanal brands experimenting with flavour, texture, and technique.
Whether you are craving something comforting or curious to try something new, these five spots capture the best of both worlds: classic and contemporary, all in one delicious lineup.
Classic scoops or artisanal swirls, your summer starts here.
Lick by Lavonne, Bengaluru
A 2025 entrant that feels instantly iconic, Lick blends playful flavours with serious technique. Think burnt-honey toasted vanilla, tropical sorbets, and even high-protein options, alongside fun sundaes and pet-friendly ice creams that make it a standout.
Olivia Creamery, Kolkata & Delhi
Small batch, silky, and indulgent, Olivia focuses on global flavours with rich textures and chunky inclusions. Their Nutella mousse and miniature tasting boxes are perfect for those who like their ice cream decadent and thoughtfully crafted.
Hocco, Multiple Cities
Hocco turns ice cream into a visual and flavour experience. Its viral Aamchi, shaped like a real Alphonso mango with a white chocolate shell, continues to be a crowd favourite, blending nostalgia with a playful, modern twist.
Corner House, Bengaluru
A true legend, Corner House is synonymous with its iconic Death by Chocolate. Layers of cake, ice cream, and fudge sauce make it a must-try, while classics like Kesar Malai Kulfi keep loyalists coming back.
Taj Ice Cream, Mumbai
Since 1887, Taj Ice Cream has been hand-churning its sancha ice creams the old-fashioned way. Seasonal mango and custard apple shine here, while the guava with chilli twist delivers pure Mumbai nostalgia in every bite.
Whether you are team nostalgia or chasing new flavours, these five spots prove one thing—great ice cream never goes out of style. All you need now is a spoon. And, if you want to read the whole story, click here.
