Glace Artisans — Restaurant in George Town

Gelace: A Gelato Gem in the Heart of Georgetown Nestled amidst the bustling streets of Georgetown, Penang, lies a hidden gem for ice cream lovers - Gelace. This newly opened haven of handcrafted gelato promises an escape to Italian dessert heaven, and let me tell you, it delivers on every promise.

Pistachio Perfection:

The star of the show, undoubtedly, is their pistachio gelato. Made with 100% Sicilian pistachios, it's an explosion of pure nutty goodness. Each spoonful is a textural delight, creamy yet studded with tiny flecks of pistachios that burst with flavor. It's like biting into a luxurious pistachio dream, so close to the real Italian deal that it might transport you straight to Rome's cobbled streets.

Beyond the Nutty:

But Gelace isn't a one-hit wonder. Their repertoire of flavors extends far beyond pistachio perfection. We also sampled their mango lassi, a vibrant swirl of sweet mango and tangy yogurt, and the apple cinnamon, a warm and comforting hug in a scoop. Each flavor is crafted with high-quality ingredients, boasting natural sweetness and depth that sets them apart from the ordinary.

A Serene Escape:

The charm of Gelace goes beyond the gelato. Unlike the usual Georgetown crowds, this hidden gem offers a tranquil oasis. The minimalist whitewashed interior, adorned with pops of greenery, provides a cool and calming respite from the bustling streets. It's the perfect spot to savor your gelato and lose yourself in the moment.

Freshly Whipped Delight:

And let's not forget the fresh factor. Being a new establishment, Gelace ensures their gelato is always churned fresh, guaranteeing the most vibrant flavors and textures. Every scoop is a testament to their dedication to quality and craftsmanship.

Final Verdict:

If you're in Georgetown and craving a taste of authentic Italian gelato, Gelace is the place to be. With its pistachio perfection, unique flavor offerings, and serene atmosphere, it's quickly become my go-to spot for a sweet escape. So ditch the crowds and treat yourself to a scoop (or two) of Gelace magic. You won't be disappointed!

Highly recommended!

P.S. Don't forget to check their opening hours, as they're currently not operating 7...

I tried the cashew nut cream cheese, Chemor 70% dark, and mango Greek yogurt and honestly, every single scoop was spot on. It wasn’t just ice cream, it felt like a treat that melted both in my mouth and my heart.

The cashew nut cream cheese had the perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of saltiness, that creamy richness was absolutely heavenly. The Chemor dark chocolate was thick, bold, and truly indulgent, while the mango Greek yogurt was light, refreshing, and a great contrast to the other two.

The scoops were generous, and the pricing felt reasonable for a place with this level of quality. The ambiance was lovely, with plenty of natural lighting, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I really appreciated that they let us sample a few flavours before deciding.

Overall, a fantastic experience, and I’m already looking forward to coming back to try...

3rd visit : Tried Mandarin 🍊 sorbet this round & it's refreshing & flavourful. 2nd visit : Finally, get to try the ferrero rocher flavour. It's not too bad. I can make it to the top 3 ice cream shops in PG. Simple yet comfortable outlook. They have quite a lot of flavours to choose from. I'm actually aiming at ferrero rocher flavour, but I'm not feeling well at this moment, so i can only go for something lighter in flavour. Picked the calamansi flavour. In my opinion, it's overpowering. It's too intense, so it's very sour & there's a bitter aftertaste. Since their flavour is so intense, i bet their chocolate base flavour will be very good. Will give it a try...
