Review: Art’s Cream Gallery

19 09 2008

What guides us in choosing our favorite food and restaurants? Our senses. A food that looks inedible, no matter how delicious it may really be, will not reach our palates. All of our senses must be convinced, or else we will not be able to enjoy the meal adequately.

In my unending search for delicious delicacies, I spotted a new oasis which sprouted in the middle of Robinson’s Place Midtown at Ermita, Manila. Properly named, Art’s Cream Gallery, not only does it provide mouth watering meals, but it provides food for the eyes as well. Art’s Cream Gallery specializes in my favorite dessert: ice cream! It’s ice cream is made by its sister company, Fiorgelato.

The ice cream café provides an atmosphere that makes you think that you are in a spa or a real oasis, with its Japanese inspired umbrellas over the red and black sleek styled sofas, tables, and chairs. They style is very minimalistic, which makes the ice cream stand out even more.

Take a gander at the mouth watering display of ice cream, which is not placed in the usual circular style containers. The ice cream looks so good that you hesitate to destroy it by eating it. Luckily the ice cream never runs out, so you can keep on enjoying staring at these luscious treats! Not only are the ice cream displayed like artworks, but they are also served as artworks. Designer Ice cream, shall we say.

Now I have placed so much hype on how the ice cream and the place look, but let’s get down to what’s really important – Is it delicious? If I have to rate it, then it is a perfect 10/10. I only tasted their popular flavors, Tiramisu and Vanilla with chocolate syrup, but I think they are more than enough for me.

Let me just say that while the cream was melting in my mouth all I could think of was “This is what heaven must taste like!” Hands down, this is one of the best tasting ice cream ever!

What kinds of ice cream styles can you expect from Art’s Cream Gallery? Well, there is the I Love You ice cream dedicated to couples and there is the Blooms, ice cream decorated with sugar roses for romance at any time of the year. My personal fave which I would like to try on my trip back there is the One for All, which is various ice cream flavors placed in a gigantic martini glass. I think it is best shared with a great set of friends :)

Art’s Cream Gallery also serves cakes, coffee, and pasta for those who want a warm up before diving into the ice cream experience.

When it comes to price, Art’s Cream Gallery is fair. 3 scoops of ice cream for 100 pesos? I think it is definitely worth it.

If you need a place of relaxation after a day’s worth of shopping, don’t go to the spa. Give your diet a break and try Art’s Cream Gallery. ^_^

Note:

Thanks a bunch to Mr. Noel Castro, Store Manager of Art’s cream gallery, for taking the time to answer my questions and for providing me with great pictures for this review. ^_^
