Natthaphon Coconut Ice Cream is one of the most established ice cream stores in Bangkok, and it’s certainly a must-visit for its century-old specialties. This place is best known for its signature coconut ice cream which has been a fan favorite since 1952.
It’s also one of their best sellers, so it’s definitely a must-try for ice cream lovers. This frozen treat features a rich sweet taste and succulent texture derived from fresh and natural coconut milk.
They also focus more on staple Thai flavors, so expect local favorites like Thai tea, mango, durian, and more. Their ice cream menu also includes Japanese-inspired flavors, from matcha to genmaicha, hojicha, and poppy tea.
Pro Tip:
Nattaphon Coconut Ice Cream is cash only, so be sure to carry a sufficient amount for all the ice cream you plan to buy.

Rintaro Bangkok is a popular ice cream store in Bangkok specializing in Japanese flavors which they serve in cups and waffle cones. We particularly like their waffle cones because you can choose between cacao and maple flavors.
Plus, they always serve their ice creams in pairs so you can try two of their 15 Japanese sorbet flavors at once. Our favorite flavors here include black sesame mochi, matcha, hojicha, and yuzu.
Pro Tip:
Their branch in W District is small, so we suggest visiting early if you want to secure a seat. Meanwhile, their Siam Paragon branch is only a booth so there are no seating options.
IceDEA

Address: 939 Rama I Road, Rong Muang, Pathum Wan
Operating Hours: 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. (Tuesday – Sunday)
Contact Number: +66 89 834 5950
Pricing: ฿฿
IceDEA is arguably the most creative ice cream parlor in Bangkok. This place focuses on unique and cutesy designs, so expect a wide range of ice creams modeled after adorable animals, Thai fruits, roasted corn cob, football, and many more.
But their most popular creation is their food-based ice cream designs, from Japanese tonkotsu to Texas-style steak on toast and Mexican taco. The best part is their ice cream also smells like the food they’re based on which adds a layer of realism.
But that’s not all because they also make unique flavors, including some you won’t find in any other ice cream shops in the city. Their ready-made flavors are based on alcohol and cocktails, contemporary Thai sorbet, snacks and candies, and more.
Pro Tip:
For a more unique experience, you can request a customized ice cream flavor with your preferred theme, color, and design. They can also create exclusive ice cream flavors for special events and catering services.
Jing Jing Ice-cream Bar and Cafe
Media from jingjingicecreambarandcafe
Address: 154 Charoen Krung 14 Alley, Samphanthawong
Operating Hours: 10 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. (Wednesday – Monday)
Contact Number: +66 96 642 6241
Pricing: ฿
Jing Jing Ice-cream Bar and Cafe is a hidden gem on a small side street along Charoen Krung Road. This cafe has a distinct and vintage Hong Kong-style exterior and interior, matching the mostly Chinese shops and establishments found in the neighborhood.
It’s one of the more unique ice cream shops in Bangkok because it offers quirky flavor combinations. This includes ice creams topped, paired, or infused with bacon bits, fried garlic, crispy wonton, bitter Chinese herbs, and more.
We also like that they offer monthly ice cream specials so you can try new and unique seasonal flavors when you return at another time. Some of the special flavors you can expect include soju strawberry, yen ta fo, Indian gooseberry, gotu kola, etc.
Pro Tip:
Jing Jing Ice-cream Bar and Cafe has no dedicated parking area because it’s in a narrow alley, so avoid driving a car here. A scooter is ideal but expect limited streetside parking.
Priscilla Ice Cream
Media from priscillaicecream
Address: 59 Soi Rim Khlong Mon, Wat Arun
Operating Hours: 10:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. (Monday – Sunday)
Contact Number: +66 83 008 7451
Pricing: ฿
Priscilla Ice Cream is the go-to for affordable ice cream in Bangkok, especially for students. For one, their per-scoop servings already only cost 30 baht but they still offer it for 25 baht to students which is a plus.
Their menu consists of homemade sherbets and sorbets which they make using fresh fruit from their garden. Just know that their ice cream menu isn’t fixed, so you can’t know what flavors are available until you get there.
Still, they usually have over 10 flavors, so there’s no issue with variety. But expect them to always have common ice cream flavors like chocolate, coffee, cheese, and Thai tea.
Pro Tip:
This store closes early when they run out of ice cream, so it’s best to visit them in the morning.
Gelato Finale
Media from gelatofinale
Address: 24, 20,22, 26 Soi Charoen Krung 46, Bang Rak
Operating Hours: 10:30 a.m. – 9:30 p.m. (Tuesday – Sunday)
Contact Number: +66 99 356 2291
Pricing: ฿
Gelato Finale is one of the best, if not the best, spots for Italian ice cream in Bangkok. It also features a vibrant interior with rattan chairs and walls painted in the cartoony style of a narrow Italian street.
Here, you can get classic Italian sorbet flavors like hazelnut, pistachio, chocolate, lemon, and more. They also offer rotating ice cream specials like Malaga and pina colada to keep their menu fresh and new.
But their biggest selling point is their gelato menu which boasts over 25 flavors. Get their largest 5-scoop serving to try as many Italian gelato flavors as you like.
Pro Tip:
The shop owners keep their cats inside the store, so this place isn’t ideal if you have cat allergies. Sometimes, the dining room may also smell of cat pee which is a minus.

Creamery Boutique Ice Creams is a haven for fans of frozen treats and sweet pastries. They serve a wide range of quirky and conventional ice cream flavors on top of fresh and exquisite baked goods, from lava brownies to toasts, cookies, waffles, and more.
Our team’s sweet-toothed foodies particularly like their ice cream paired with any of their signature lava cream-filled cookies. Their out-of-the-oven lava cookie melts in your mouth and surprisingly goes well with the frosted ice cream on top.
If you’re not a fan of pastry, their ice creams are also available in individual scoops. Or you can also pair your frozen treat with their other menu items, from flank steak to Japanese tonkotsu, pasta, BBQ chicken wings, etc.
Pro Tip:
You can ask the server for a free taste of their ice creams to ensure you like the flavor you’re getting. They also serve complimentary iced tea, so you don’t have to spend money on drinks.

If you like full-on variety on your ice cream, Guss Damn Good is a great option. This ice cream shop in Bangkok is the brainchild of two friends with the same passion for frozen treats, so expect a wide range of flavors that ice cream lovers will definitely enjoy.
Their creations focus more on artisanal flavors and natural ingredients like fresh milk, peanut butter and jelly, sea salt almond, burnt caramel, and more. Their expansive menu features over 20 flavors, so you’ll most likely find your ideal ice cream blend.
They also serve them as regular ice creams, sundaes, or milkshakes so you can enjoy your favorite flavors however you like. Guss Damn Good also offers daily specials, so there’s always something new and unique to try on your visit.
Pro Tip:
If sundae is your preferred frozen treat, Guss Damn Good has dedicated sundae branches in TheCommons Saladaeng and EmQuartier.

Azabu Sabo is a trendy dessert shop known for its fine selection of ice creams with traditional Japanese flavors. This includes matcha, Hokkaido milk, hojicha, black sesame, and more.
They specialize in soft-serve ice creams which they serve in unique square-top cones that can hold up to two servings. Their creations are well-known for being light and not too sweet, perfect if you don’t have a serious sweet tooth.
Our top pick is the matcha ice cream. The matcha flavor isn’t intense but you can ask for double intensity for more green tea goodness. Many people also frequent them for their mint chocolate and milk ice creams, so they’re definitely worth checking out.
Pro Tip:
Azabu Sabo’s soft-serve ice creams melt quickly, so it might not be the best option if you like to savor your frozen treats.

If you like ice cream as much as you prefer vegan food, Molly Ally got you covered. This chained-brand ice cream store in Bangkok offers a variety of plant-based frozen delights, so there are plenty of options for everyone.
We also like that they use coconut flower nectar sugar with a 50% lower glycemic index than regular sugar, perfect if you’re watching your weight or cholesterol level. Though healthier, it packs flavor so their vegan ice creams tick the box for guilt-free goodness.
Moreover, you can choose your ice creams based on three plant-based milk ingredients: soy, almond, and oat. They also make special high-protein ice creams from soy in case you need that extra boost, especially for morning dessert.
Pro Tip:
If you want to enjoy vegan ice cream in a relaxing atmosphere, we recommend their branch in The Circle Ratchapruk. It’s located in the tree-lined park area behind the mall so it’s cool and shaded with plenty of seating options.
