Ice cream, chillin', chillin'~ (Cue ice cream by BLACKPINK & Selena Gomez). Are you looking for a cafe for 💏dating, for hanging out with your besties or simply to deck your Instagram with 🍦ice cream photos? Why not check out these 9 best ice cream cafes in KL & PJ with Instagram-able and mouth-watering desserts?
This small coffee shop in PJ only serves 2 types of items, ☕coffee and 🍦ice cream. Their artisanal ice creams are made using fresh and natural ingredients that include 🥭fruits, 🌿herbs, and 🍵tea by themselves using an Italian ice cream machine. The flavours include Twinings Earl Grey Ice Cream (which is the crowd’s favourite), Chrysanthemum Ice Cream and Bitter Caramel Ice Cream. There are also unconventional flavours such as Pei Pa Koa Ice Cream, Coriander Ice Cream (yuck!🤢) and 🍺Guinness Stout Ice Cream.
This cafe has a nice ambience which gives a very safe and homey atmosphere. It also has a semi-al fresco sitting area with plenty of natural light. Occasionally, there will be a doge named Momo. It’s a pretty chill Shiba Inu that only minds its own business (unless there are treats involved), so you can rest assured you won’t be disturbed.

If you plan to surprise your Instagram followers with some out-of-the-world 🍦ice creams, you should head to L'unico Gelateria. Vodka Tiramisu, Soju Yakult, Cempedak Madu, etc…. can be considered the low-key flavoured gelatos in their store. The daring ones would go for flavours like Sambal Hijau Petai, Chilli Crab and Salted Egg Butter Crab. Can you imagine how they're going to taste? I can’t.
To be able to come out with such wacky flavours, there is only one explanation, they are all made from scratch by the owners. Their gelatos are 🚫🥚eggless and made in fresh batches, and they are priced at RM9.99 for a single scoop, RM15.99 for two, or RM29.99 for three. Some premium flavours carry a surcharge of RM2.99. Each bite is packed with flavour giving you a “kaw kaw” gelato experience. Meals like 🍝pasta, 🧇waffles and chicken chop are also served here.

This cafe has up to 18 different flavours of artisanal 🍦ice creams and sorbets for you to choose from. Not forgetting to mention their speciality, Petits Gâteauxs are to die for. Most of the time, flashy and nice-looking food is badly compromised tastewise. However, that’s not the case for Crème De La Crème. Their desserts are all yummy to the 👀eyes, 👅taste buds and 📸Instagram.
Over the years, they have been coming out with some really creative takes on their Petits Gâteaux. Their repertoire includes the 🍑peach long-lived longevity buns shaped Petits Gâteaux, Swe-eid Kuihs and Ice Cream Nasi Lemak, which is a set of nasi lemak complete with realistic-looking 🍗fried chicken, 🍚rice and 🥚egg, all made of ice creams!
In the past, they've collaborated with international brands such as Sanrio to come out with Hello Kitty and My Melody & Little Twin Stars-themed decoration and desserts!

Fancy a tattoo while waiting for your ice cream or vice versa? Well, Licky Chan & The Poke Guy is a place that offers such service and treats, with Licky Chan being the ice cream half and The Poke Guy being the tattoo half of the shop.
They offer a variety of unique flavours, from dairy to vegan-friendly, and they dare you to find out the difference between both. Their 🥛milk is from fresh grass-fed 🐄cows, obtained straight from a local farmer in Pahang. This results in their rich and creamy 🍦ice creams. The flavours are mostly centred on 🍺alcoholic flavours, probably so that you’ll be 😵half-drunk and won’t feel the pain when receiving your tattoo.
This place might be a bit hard to spot due to its small signage and the shop front is covered by 🌳trees. Once you arrive at the shop, you will be greeted by a run-downed and grunge ambience, but you probably won’t notice much about it after you are all 🍻boozed up. Every nook and cranny of this shop is Instagram-able, so make sure that you are not too drunk to take some nice ice cream photos.
Pro-Tip: Show your receipt from Joloko (on the same day) to receive 15% off.

Fancy a bowl of cute-looking monster ice cream? Roji Monster is a 🍨shaved-ice chain from Taiwan. At first glance, they look like shaved ice, but they really are shaved ice cream, as they are made using 🥛milk instead of 💧water.
The ordering process is made fun whereby you can place your order by picking a flavour card among the 6 flavour options. Then, you can choose 2 out of 25 different toppings by selecting wooden stamps on the counter and stamping them on your flavour card. After that, you can pass it to the staff. They will process your order, and all you have to do is just wait. The shaved ice creams are priced at RM20 a bowl and come in the form of cute and frizzy monsters with a pair of adorable edible eyes.
The cafe, from its ambience to its cutleries, gives off a 🎌Japanese vibe. They have cute monster (their mascot) figures and decorations all over the shop for you to pose and 📸take pictures with. Make sure to edit nicely and upload the photos on your Instagram feed, as you probably won’t find this anywhere else in Malaysia.

Whimsical - Artisanal Gelato is the finalist of the Rimini 2017 Grand Finale Gelato World Tour and a Malaysian winner, so you can definitely expect something good from them! Their gelatos are churned in small batches with fresh & natural ingredients that produce intense flavours.
Here, you can choose to have your gelato in a cup, cone, or waffles. Many people commented that their gelatos are one of the best, and the taste & texture rival those that they have tried in 🇮🇹 Italy. Alcoholic 🍺🍷flavours are also available here.
Did you know that you can bring your pets here? That is because the whole Waterfront @ ParkCity is a 🐶🐱pet-friendly place. However, for this cafe, you’ll have to choose outside seating (in fact, many of the F&B establishments here are doing the same). The ambience is lovely, with the neon light signs at the ice cream roulette and rattan seats, giving it a retro look.

Great news for 🧕Muslims! Jersey Jack Gelato is a cafe that serves gelato made from halal ingredients from halal-certified suppliers. They are also in the process of getting their Halal application approved. Hidden among the alleys of Bukit Bintang, the cafe is pretty quiet with 🎶soothing music.
