L'Amarena Gelato Shop (Gelateria Italiana) — Restaurant in Babeldaob

They might have an unparalleled choice of Ice Cream, but the Coffee is horrible. Ordered a Cappuccino and got a disposable cup with a overheated watery drink, tasting like a mix of roasted corn and goat milk. I found myself returning it to desk without any fulfilling solution.

I understand Palau is far away from Italy when it comes to geographic distance, so there might be a lack of benchmark.

How to make it better: A "Cappuccino" is made with espresso (strong shot of finely coarsed coffee beans running through an espresso machine within 25sec to create 25ml of strong/dense coffee) per shot and milk is steamed heating milk to 55–65°C (139–149°F) with a maximum temperature of 70°C (158°F) and minimum of 50°C (122°F). Otherwise it will destroy proteins which are necessary for the texture and microfoam that you want and it looses taste and burns your tongue. So sad if you know what efforts and prices are paid to get both beans and milk on the island.

Also reusable cups would have been nicer for ambiance, taste and especially our planet.

Even though I did not try, I liked the fact they are selling vegan and sugar...

I traveled to Palau in September 2024. I rented a car from AVIS and they gave me a coupon for one free complimentary item per rental. I decided to use it at L'Amarena Gelato Shop located at the 2nd floor food court of the Surangel’s Supercenter Airai.

I received one scoop of Mango Tango and Ube (Purple Yam) Royale. The mango was free but I had to pay for the Ube. This was my first time having Ube. I loved both the Mango Tango and Ube Royale Gelato. Both were good. I set in the food court, finished my gelato and then went shopping in Surangel’s...

Small but delightful! I believe this is the only spot in Palau to get this quality of Gelato. I had one scoop of coffee Gelato on a cone and that's all it took to be sent to favor town 🙌 the service was great and the Gelato was amazing! Thank you for your business and I highly recommend this spot to send your taste buds on a Rollercoaster and to bring your body temperature...
