Ampersand Boutique

Amid a setting of Western-style country furniture, marble and big cushions, this boutique dishes out gelato ice cream in 15 different flavors (B89 for one scoop/B159 for two). Our favorites include the butterfly pea & lime, pistachio, earl grey and dark chocolate. For more adventurous options, get the maple syrup & candied bacon—made with Canadian maple syrup and bacon bits that marry well with the overall sweetness.

Crema

Paolo Vitaletti, the man who brought us Peppina, has turned his hand to gelato. Already, his Crema company has two branches: Sukhumvit Soi 31 strictly for gelato and Siam Square One for other gluttonous goods like the bomba (Italian donuts filled with Nutella, cream or white chocolate, B89). Our picks of the 18 gelato flavors (B89/scoop) are pistachio, fior di latte (milk) and fresh mango. Don’t miss the Thai standard of ice cream and hot-dog bun reinvented as housemade brioche heaped with gelato (B199).
