Ice cream


Tasty ice-cream in Kiev

Sometimes to lift your spirit just a scoop of plain white ice cream topped with syrup will suffice. Ukrainian and foreign ice cream franchises are most often found in shopping malls. There two Ukrainian brands of soft-serve ice cream, including Asorti (Assortment) and Lakomka (A sweet tooth) which are sold in small pavilions at the city’s busiest spots.Asorti makes one kind of low-fat ice cream, which is a tasty mixture of coffee and lemon flavors. Lakomka makes a number of different flavors, including chocolate, lemon, vanilla and strawberry, that are both fattier and sweeter than Asorti’s coffee-lemon kind. However, lakomka outfits differ. At some you can order a pre-made chocolate/lemon or vanilla/strawberry mix squeezed from a plastic container into a waffle cone from a machine for Hr 3, at others-a softer, ice cream version (Hr 3.40 for 100 grams), served directly from an ice cream machine. Also you can pick any flavor combination you want in a cone or a paper bowl and topped with various syrups, nuts or chocolate sauce.

Another place that offers soft-serve ice cream is McDonald’s but there is very little difference in taste between each flavor, unless you add syrup.

Among the foreign franchises that offer high-quality ice cream with wide assortment of flavors and topping , as well as ice cream desserts, are Baskin- Robbins and La Gelateria Italiana, both of which can be found at Globus Shopping Mall.

Baskin-Robbins claims to be a world famous ic-cream franchise and its locations in Kiev (Globus, Metrograd Shopping Mall, Karavan) now offer 31 kinds of ice cream and a short list of ready-made sundaes, cakes and milk-shakes.The price is Hr 11 for one scoop (less then 100 gr).

La Gelateria Italiana offers a bit cheaper ice cream (Hr 10 for 100 gr) of around 30 flavors.Ice cream from La Gelateria Italiana is by the same producer as the one offered at the Italian restaurant Pantagruel Osteria. At La Gelateria Italiana you can choose among flavors like chocolate, coffee, hazelnut, pistachio, strawberry, vanilla, white chocolate, lemon and tiramisu.
