I visited Batumi in June with my kids, and every day started with: “Mom, where are we getting ice cream today?” 😊 Thanks to the catalog, we found a cozy little spot near the boulevard — incredibly tasty, clean, and with the kindest staff. I was especially happy to find sugar-free fruit flavors the kids loved. Now we have a new family tradition: every vacation means discovering new frozen treats!

📍 Where to find the coziest ice cream spots in the city

On hot days, there's nothing better than hiding from the sun in a cool café where each scoop feels like a well-deserved reward. Along the seaside, you’ll find spots with terraces and loungers, while in the city center — cozy corners shaded by trees, fountains, or inner courtyards.
These places are more than just locations — they set the tone for the day: stop by to cool down, enjoy the view, taste something new, or listen to nearby street music. While the café you choose might depend on your mood, the atmosphere is always half the pleasure of dessert.

🥄 What’s on the menu: handcrafted treats or familiar classics?

In Batumi, you’ll find everything — from simple factory-made options in waffle cones to truly artisanal desserts made right on-site. Some cafés take pride in creating their own recipes using natural cream, fresh fruits, and even local honey or nuts. These delights are known for their dense texture, rich flavor, and freshness.

Others serve ready-made products, but with love: beautifully plated, with toppings, syrups, waffles, and fruit on the side. It’s not always about the complexity of the recipe — sometimes a simple scoop enjoyed by the sea can be the most delicious of all.
