Do you love ice cream? Do you need coffee to function? Well, thanks a latte to Affogato – the newest Italian dessert cafe in Khar, that is bringing together the experience of gelato and coffee under one roof.
Essentially, affogato is an Italian dessert which has a scoop of gelato topped with hot espresso, that melts right through it – creating the perfect balance of hot and cold, sweet and bitter. Here, you’ve got a delicious solution to the age-old, post-meal dessert dilemma.
Espresso Patronum!
Both coffee and ice cream feature high on the list of simple pleasures. And these folks at Affogato, take their coffee-gelato very seriously. They’ve tried to keep the gelato-making method, ingredients and flavours as authentic as possible. And they’re absolutely nailing it!
When here, pair your steaming cup of espresso with gelato flavours like Belgian Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Strawberry Cheesecake or even Tiramisu, to experience palatial bliss. This simple marriage delivers complex flavours – sweet notes give way to bitter flavours and warm, sharp coffee complements the creamy, delicate gelato.
Further, Affogato’s Croissant Sundae doesn’t disappoint, with a creamy scoop of gelato and dry fruits’ dust. We also recommend you try their Jamun Sorbet and Mango Sorbet for sure.
This pet-friendly spot in Khar, is the go-to place for satisfying your evening caffeine fix. And this time you don’t have to worry about leaving your furry companions behind.
Knock Knock
Affogato is the brainchild of Suren Joshi, the restaurateur behind eateries like Joshi House, Javaphile, and The Conservatory, and Shalini Rattan, who runs Crèmeyum Creamery in Worli.
This parlour is a welcoming space, that has got its aesthetics right! It invites you in with wide steps that lead into a cave-like subterranean space, with beige concrete flooring, curved walls and minimalistic seating arrangements.
So, don’t wait further and say YAS to the experience of cold gelato bathed in piping-hot, freshly-brewed espresso and we’ll see you there. Follow their Instagram handle for more updates.
