The highlight of this new pet-friendly space in Mumbai is its delectable gelato.
August 4, 2023: Whether you’re a procaffinator or a gelato lover, the newly opened Affogato brings a sweet and healthy treat. Co-founders Suren Joshi and Shalini Rattan introduced their unique gelateria to the Mumbaikers. Recently opened in Khar, the place is named after the famed Italian Coffee-Gelato-based beverage named Affogato al caffè, popularly known as simply Affogato.
The 600 square feet gelateria can accommodate 25 people. Through this contemporary patisserie, the founders have brought together the three highlights of Italian cuisine - The Bread, The Gelato, and The Coffee aka Il Pane, Il Gelato e Il Caffè, under one roof.
At the heart of the menu is the star of the Italian delicacy, Gelato. Each scoop of gelato at Affogato is the ultimate representation of Italy's culinary history because it is made using traditional methods. From Salted Butter Caramel to Tiramisu, enjoy the delectable ride.
Co-founder Suren Joshi shared, “I tried the gelato Shalini makes, they were not only extremely delicious but healthy too. I immediately knew we had to partner up for something exciting. I have been thinking of amping up the dessert offerings in Bombay and creating a space where one can sit and enjoy a conversation over some coffee and desserts. So I thought why not bring together the coffee from Javaphile and her gelato and make something fantastic out of it.”
While the interior is beautifully designed by kaviar:collaborative, the cuisine will surprise you with its authenticity. Make sure to dig in the Almond Croissants, Pain au Chocolat, Cinnamon Rolls, and Carrot Cake, which is a chef’s special. The coffee selection includes warm drinks like Sea salt Mocha, Spiced Latte and Espresso Hot Chocolate, and chilled beverages as well, such as Tiramisu Frappé, Toffee nut Frappé and Mint Mocha Frappé.
