From froyo bowls and Greek yoghurt jars to classic scoops and indulgent sundaes, these eleven spots are your official roadmap to scoop heaven. Forget picking just one, hit them all. Your taste buds will thank you, your diet won't, but hey, that's tomorrow's problem!
Snowberry's serving up fluffy Korean bingsu, Korean shaved ice creams artisanal desserts, and ice creams made with actual fruit,mango, falsa, strawberry, mulberry, chikoo, sitaphal, the works. Each scoop tastes like summer in Lucknow, not some artificial flavour factory. Trust us, one visit and you'll wonder how you survived without it.
