What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Exotica Gelato is highly praised for its stunning and unique flavors, particularly its spirit-infused gelato and exotic fruit sorbets. Customers appreciate the high quality, fair pricing for multiple scoops, and friendly sampling policy. While seating is limited, the overall experience is considered a delightful culinary adventure.
"Stunning flavours! In addition to classics like pistachio, there are many spirit-infused gelato or sorbet to choose from. Having tried 5 flavours I liked the mulled wine sorbet (refreshing hint of whisky and lovely spices) and the ginger milk with sake gelato (the ginger is warming and zingy). Price is fair for such high quality and unique flavours. Would like to return to try other flavours."

"Cute little gelato shop with limited seating. The service was welcoming and warm. I tried a sample of the pistachio and ended up ordering it, while my mom went with the lychee oolong. The pistachio was creamy and delicious—my mom thought it was a bit sweet, but I really enjoyed it. The lychee oolong had more of an icy consistently which was refreshing.
I’ve seen some people say the flavors here aren’t very strong, but I didn’t feel that at all. Both flavors came through nicely and felt well balanced. Definitely stop by if you’re nearby!"

"Order 3 scoops $98: Yuzu sorbet, pistachio and dark chocolate gelato.
I like the yuzu sorbet.
Interior design and layout is not factional, not well used of the space."
