On a hot day, I walked into Starbucks intending to order my usual Americano—but then I remembered they had gelato on the menu. Curious and craving something cold, I went for the Vanilla Bean Gelato instead.
At just 100ml, it’s the perfect single-serving size. Light and portioned just right, it makes for a great little treat without feeling like too much. Inside the lid, there’s a small spoon attached, so you can enjoy it right away—no need to grab extra utensils. That made it convenient even on the go.
What stood out most was the rich vanilla aroma. You can see real specks of vanilla bean throughout, giving it a deeper, more premium flavor. The sweetness was just enough—satisfying but clean. That said, the sugar content is on the higher side, according to the nutrition label.
I usually only go to Starbucks for coffee, but on days when no drink really calls to me, this gelato feels like the perfect alternative.
