Gustomenta

When Gustomenta opened several years ago, Beijing’s gelato lovers rejoiced. Finally it was possible to eat authentic Italian ice cream in the city. Gustomenta’s charm has only strengthened since then. The ambiance and décor of its three branches are as bright and cheerful as the colour palette of the gelatos. Even on a cold, grey winter day the cheeriness at Gustomenta is like a shot of their espresso.

In addition to ice cream, the coffees and small range of delicious dishes such as the pastas and panini are authentic and delicious. Time Out has often wondered if the staff’s perky demeanour is due, perhaps, to staff eating their own product. Gustomenta is just the kind of café you want to sit in for hours
