Queues at Gelato Messina on Club Street getting a little too crazy to handle? Check out this brand-new ice cream spot instead, just a short four-minute walk away. Gelato bar Mondo just opened its doors in late July next to the Korean barbecue restaurant Wang Dae Bak on Amoy Street. The best part? It stays open till midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
The interiors are retro-glam with deep-red leather couches, marble tabletops, and gold accents peppered all over. But aesthetic design aside, the menu is impressively varied, offering gelato, boozy sorbets, coffee, and even cocktails on tap. Choose between 11 gelato flavours, including the crowd-favourite blue cheese and candied pear. The blue cheese is on the milder side, while chunks of candied pear add a lovely jammy sweetness.
Other interesting flavours include marsala poached figs – more raisin-y than spice-forward – and toasted white chocolate and strawberries, which tastes pretty similar to Messina’s Strawberries & Cream. Our top picks, however, are the Piedmont hazelnut and Sicilian pistachio – classics you can’t go wrong with. The Shizuoka matcha is a solid shout, too.
Mondo also offers several unique boozy sorbets on the menu in flavours like lemon sake, cherry and tequila, and pineapple makgeolli. Prices start at $7 for a scoop, $10 for two, and $12 for three. Top up $1.50 for a cone, or grab a whole pint for $24.
Beverage options include your regular espresso-based drinks (from $5), along with two rotating filter coffees (from $7) that change every two weeks. This week’s selection features the Ethiopian Siko G1 Lot 2 with notes of mandarin, honey and peaches, and the Kenyan Miiri AB with notes of orange, dried currants and brown sugar. Alcoholic drinks like cold brew martini ($12) and earl grey long island tea ($14) are also available on tap.

Mondo is open from Monday to Saturday from 10am onwards at 92 Amoy Street, Singapore 069911.
