No matter how well into adulthood you might be, the promise of ice cream is still the best incentive to get many of us moving. We firmly believe that it's next to impossible to dislike ice creams entirely. From the classic strawberry gelato to a rocky road cup, and from paan to mint chocolate flavours, the options are endless and suffice it to say, none of us are complaining. 

 

When it comes to finding the best of everything, there are a few cities that can compete with Mumbai. And you will find a host of listed spots that will give you what you seek. Probably with a unique twist as the USP.

 

So applying the same logic here, we've curated a list of the 13 most recommended ice-cream places in Mumbai, yummy enough to make all of us scream with unadulterated joy.

With the objective of making world-class gourmet ice creams easier for the masses, Papacream is one of the most common mentions under the best ice cream places in Mumbai. The sheer variety here is staggering and comprises both cherished classics like Belgian Chocolate, and eccentric flavours you can't stop yourself from trying. From the latter category, we'd pick their delish pani puri sorbet (how can anybody say no to that?!), and the nostalgia Horlicks in an ice cream flavour!

So, one of our favourite things about this popular ice cream place in Mumbai, is that it treats ice cream making, like the art it is. This is probably why their classic flavours are the best you can find in the entire city. The raspberry sorbet is a perfect, indulgent fruity flavour, while Ferrero Rocher is the best comfort ice cream flavour we've managed to get our hands on till date. We'd also recommend salty caramel if you're feeling flavour frisky.

Filter coffee? In ice cream? Yeah, can you sign me up, please? Yes, for life. If you're skeptical about an adored beverage in the form of a gelato, just take our word for it, it's absolutely mouthwatering. But if we were forced to pick our favourite option from their immensely quirky menu, the ice cream cookie sandwiches are worth dying for. No, we aren't exaggerating one bit. Snickerdoodle and double chocolate chunk have got to be the best we've ever had.

No, you did not read that wrong. This place has quickly risen in popularity in Mumbai for its authentic gelato flavours, and the creamy, luscious texture of their ice creams, is enough to make us drool just at the thought of a bite even before a scoop. The popcorn ice cream is much more appetising than it might sound to some, and tremendously addictive. Chai Biskoot is another eccentric flavour that pleasantly surprised our tastebuds, and we haven't been able to stop visiting ever since.

A trip to Girgaum Chowpatty, Mumbai, invariably means stopping by for an ice cream or sandwich at Bachelorr’s, an unassuming but popular roadside eatery, which has been a landmark since the 1930s. Notorious smuggler Haji Mastan is believed to have frequented the place as a youngster in the late 1940s. In the evening, you will see flashy cars parked outside with customers being served sandwiches, pizza, juice and ice-creams by Bachelorr’s staff. From selling fruit-based milkshakes to serving a chilli ice cream, this joint is credited with many firsts. 


13 or 30, ice cream solves everything.
