The Story

Affogato – Italian for "drowned" – is the perfect fusion of Italian coffee and ice cream artistry. This elegant dessert drink originated in the gelaterias of Northern Italy, where the tradition of gelato meets coffee culture. The concept is simple: a scoop of vanilla ice cream is "drowned" in hot espresso. The result is a play of contrasts that has delighted Italians for generations.

The Experience

"The first bites are an interplay of temperatures and textures: cold, creamy ice cream slowly melts into the hot, intense coffee. The sweetness of vanilla balances the roast aromas. Every spoonful is different – more ice cream, more coffee, or the perfect mixture in between."
