Puro's Gelato focuses on seasonal fruits, offering a variety of flavors, especially the hazelnut and blueberry sorbet, which retain a rich aroma and the flavors of the fruits, leaving a stunning impression. The peach, cantaloupe, and whiskey flavors are also very special, with intense fruitiness and the whiskey providing a unique sensation of mild intoxication.
The store is not very large, but the atmosphere is cozy and the hygiene is good, making it suitable for sharing delicious ice cream with family and friends. Recently, the store has Halloween decorations that add to the festive mood.
The staff is friendly and offers tasting services, allowing customers to choose their favorite flavors, while enthusiastically introducing the ice cream, creating a relaxed dining experience. The staff member is the chef's mother, kind and eager to share.
The store was set up for Halloween just before the event!
【Atmosphere of the store】
The inside of the store was small and there wasn't much seating space. I heard that there was only one staff member, and she was the chef's mother! It seems that a variety of flavors changes a little each day from a very rich menu. The mother was very kind and let us try small samples of gelato that we didn't order✨
【Flavor evaluation】
I ordered peach, watermelon, and whiskey flavors!
The fruit flavors were packed with fruitiness and had a very fresh taste, which was delicious! The whiskey flavor was also something I had never tried in gelato before; I could faintly taste the alcohol, which made it feel special! I went with my Italian friend, and the gelato was so delicious that my friend praised it greatly, leading me to realize it was quite close to authentic flavors, haha.
【Overall evaluation】
There are so many different flavors that it has a charm that makes you want to try them again and again! I won't know what flavors are available until the day, but I'm looking forward to going and finding out!

After returning from a trip to Italy 🇮🇹, I fell in love with Italian gelato. Compared to American ice cream, it feels lighter to eat. Puro Gelato is my favorite shop in Taipei, and I've lost count of how many times I've visited. They are committed to using locally sourced top-quality fresh milk and fruits. The chef specifically went to Italy to learn, and the flavors are very authentic while also incorporating the advantages of Taiwan's fruit kingdom, offering many stunning sorbets. I recommend it to anyone who loves ice cream.
Tips: You can follow their Facebook page for daily flavor updates. When you visit, feel free to ask if you can taste some, as the staff are usually very enthusiastic about introducing their ice creams.
Dish 🥘
Large cup / Hazelnut + Blueberry Sorbet + Mango Plum Wine / 185 TWD:
Hazelnut: Their nut flavors are truly impressive, retaining a rich aroma without being overly sweet. The Sicilian pistachio is also highly recommended.
Blueberry Sorbet + Mango Plum Wine: This is their consistent quality. They are really skilled at making fruit-based ice cream, fully preserving the flavor of the fruits, and you can even taste the bits of fruit. However, the sweetness of the fruit flavors is relatively high, so if you're not a fan of sweet, you might want to stick to one flavor.
In summary, this is an ice cream shop that makes me want to go specifically to Tianmu for a visit. They offer a very diverse range of flavors, frequently updating their menu. The shop is very clean, and the owner is very polite, making it worth a try.

Enjoy the authentic fruit flavor of perfect Gelato 🍨🍓
This place is my favorite Gelato shop that I have visited possibly 30 times 🫶🏻🫶🏻 I have tried almost all the flavors, and it is my number one choice for the best Italian ice cream in Taipei 🥇
Puro offers around a dozen flavors every day, using seasonal fruits. Besides the signature red-fleshed guava, the flavors change almost every week. You can check the flavors posted on their Facebook page! You can also sample before ordering.
Out of all the flavors, especially the fruity ones, they are amazing and highly recommended~~~ The authenticity is very high! They can even make fruits I don’t like taste perfect.
In addition to the fruit flavors, I also personally love the "Lavender 🪻," where you can taste the intermingling of floral and creamy flavors. It’s been a while since I encountered something like this!

Order details
🧊 Large cup ($185/three flavors):
Hazelnut 🌰 + Blueberry Sorbet 🫐 + Mango Plum Wine 🥭
This time I sampled these three new flavors, and they were all great 😆
Besides the two fruit flavors maintaining their consistent quality, the hazelnut flavor was particularly unforgettable. It is similar to the filling of Ferrero Rocher but not overly sweet, and the hazelnut aftertaste lingers in your mouth. I would definitely order it again next time 😝

Note:
Before writing this, I specifically compared it with the also very popular A-Yang Gelato near Beimen 😆
As someone who loves refreshing fruit Sorbet, I still prefer the texture of the Gelato from Puro. From the first bite to the last, it maintains the same amazing experience!
I particularly like Puro’s sorbet. The fruit-flavored ice is particularly refreshing in the summer and fully embodies the flavor of the fruit.
It looks like a small ice cream shop in Tianmu area, but it can definitely be ranked as one of the best ice cream shops in Taipei.
Highly recommended, as long as you experience it, you will definitely have a drink
There are several seats in the store, and the bench in front of the store is my favorite seat
