阿洋義式冰淇淋 GELATO ARJAN
📍Datong District, Taipei City (near Beimen MRT Station)
Located in a small alley｜Italian gelato shop run by foreigners 🍨🍫
Continuing from yesterday’s Puro Gelato, today we have another small comparison of gelato 😜
Today's Ah Yang is a beloved shop that many of my friends often mention. It used to be called Genoa, but I found out it has been renamed Ah Yang this time.
The owner is a foreigner who understands Chinese. Each time I visit, he has a serious expression 🤪 and doesn’t interact with customers like a Turkish owner would.
All the flavors I've tried have a certain standard! There are no misses (except for the avocado 🥑 flavor that I'm always curious about but too scared to order).
For me, the downside of this shop is that you can’t sample the flavors, so I face a choice barrier every time I go 😝

Order details:
🧊 One cup ($120/two flavors):
Peach 🍑 + Pistachio 🌰
Pistachio is probably this shop's signature flavor; it has a rich nutty and creamy taste as soon as you take a bite. By the end, it might feel a bit sweet and somewhat heavy.
You can tell the peach is made from real fresh fruit, and it even has some peach skin mixed in. However, I feel it’s not really a refreshing fruit flavor; the creaminess and texture of the fruit are quite rich (I feel a bit thirsty after finishing).
✏️
Notes:
Ah Yang has a relatively high value for money; the portion size is quite large, and even though the price increased from 100 to 120 NT, it’s still reasonable.
It’s great for those who enjoy rich Italian gelato!
However, the service and dine-in environment are relatively simple.
For those who prefer refreshing fruit sorbet, I’d recommend the earlier Puro, as it maintains the same texture from the first bite to the last, though it is slightly more expensive.
