I went to a popular ice cream shop called Tem umami
đŠ Tem umami: SĂŁo Pauloâs Instagram-Famous Ice Cream SpotâHype vs. Reality Tucked near 23rd Street (hello, parking drama and sketchy vibes), this Insta-hot ice cream joint has been flooding our feedsâbut does it live up to the hype? Hereâs the brutally honest scoop (pun intended): đ The Good: Insta-Worthy & Creative (But Thatâs About It) Innovative Toppings Galore: We tried the new grape flavorâlayers of ice cream, grape compote, and boozy popping pearls at the bottom. đ The booze kick was a wild (and slightly tipsy) surprise. Generous Portions: No skimping on toppingsâthey pile on nuts, sauces, and candy like itâs going out of style. đ„ â The Bad: Flavor Failures & Hype Overload Coconut Ice Cream Identity Crisis: Tastes like plain milk ice cream, saved only by shredded coconut on the side. đ„„ Zero actual coconut flavor in the base. Vanilla? More Like âMilkâ Cream: Bland, one-note sweetnessâno vanilla bean speckles or aroma. đŠ Gets cloying fast. CannelĂ© Heartbreak: Sold out by 3 PM on a weekendâmajor bummer for pastry lovers. đ„ đĄ The Verdict: Skip the Special Trip, Try If Passing By Parking Nightmare: Street parking is a gamble near 23rdâconsider ubering if possible. đ Line Reality: 20-minute wait for average ice cream? Hard pass for non-locals. âł Insta vs. IRL: Pics look dreamy, but flavors are forgettableâmanage expectations. đž đ Final Take: Style Over Substance (Big Time) Go if: Youâre already in the 25th Street area and need a photo op You love gimmicky desserts with boozy twists You donât mind paying for aesthetics over flavor Skip if: You crave authentic, flavorful ice cream You hate waiting in lines for meh food You value parking convenience over Instagram likes Tem umami might be blowing up on Insta, but our taste buds say: save the trip for a better ice cream spot (looking at you, BabaĂȘ Gelato). đŠâš đ Address: Near 23rd Street (exact location on their Insta) đ° Price: Average SP ice cream costs (nothing crazy, but not worth the hype) #SaoPaulo #Brazil #IceCreamReview #InstagramFood #FoodieHonesty
