Messina

You’ll spot the queues before you see the shop. Despite Singapore’s sweltering heat (or perhaps because of it), the front of Messina is often crowded with people eager for a taste of its freshly churned gelato. There are a whopping 40 flavours, including five Singapore-exclusives like Kaya Toast and Tau Huay, to choose from. Made with pasture-fed Jersey milk and other ingredients from Messina’s own farms, including free-range eggs, honey and hazelnuts, the gelato is irresistibly smooth and naturally sweet. Clad in American red oak, Bianco Carrara marble and plush green upholstery, the cosy 22-seater offers a relaxing space to enjoy your scoop. The team is constantly innovating, so keep an eye on their socials for new special flavours and brand collaborations such as the recent Bartistart choux pastry cream puffs filled with Messina gelato.
