Whether we’re feeling bloated from a big meal, celebrating life’s happiest moments, or comforting ourselves after a rough day, the charm of sweet treats is simply irresistible.

From cakes, donuts, and cupcakes to frozen yogurt and ice cream, the world of desserts never stops expanding. Among these, gelato — an Italian-style ice cream known for its lower fat content — has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many Filipinos.

While several gelato shops have emerged, Manila Creamery stands out with something truly special.

Top 3 Flavors I Loved

  1. Blueberry.The blueberry gelato is rich, creamy, and absolutely divine. Its smooth texture and vibrant flavor make it impossible to resist — just looking at those luscious swirls is mouth-watering!
  2. Mango. The mango gelato won the hearts of all the bloggers present. It’s not overwhelmingly sweet, which makes it a crowd favorite — light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced.
  3. Malagos Davao Chocolate. This flavor offers a delightful combination of subtle sweetness and pleasant bitterness, leaving a lingering richness that stays with you after every bite. I absolutely loved it!

Other Flavors Worth Mentioning

The langka flavor reminded me of halaya, rich and indulgent.
The Kinder Bueno gelato delivered a satisfying nutty taste.
The truffle mascarpone was a little too sweet for my palate but still enjoyable.
 
What stood out the most was that none of the flavors tasted artificial — a testament to the quality and authenticity of their ingredients.

Proudly Showcasing Local Flavors

While some ingredients are imported, it’s impressive how Manila Creamery highlights local flavors like langka and ube — a rare yet delightful twist in the world of gelato.

With prices at ₱85 and ₱110, you can indulge in these rich, dense, and luxurious homemade gelatos without breaking the bank.
