Whenever I take
MRT Ayala and pass by
SM Makati and the first thing I notice is
Bono Artisanal Gelato. I've been meaning to try it but always find myself short for time. So last month while waiting for my friends, I finally answered my curiosity and tried it.
It's a simple
gelato bar with white shiny tables and cushions seats. The bar is bright with soft yellow-white light emanating from the balls right above it.
As I browsed over its menu, I had a sense of gluttony wanting to try them all. I had difficulty in deciding.
They even offer flavors seasoned for the summer. Some of them are mixed in with alcohol too.
Seeing my puzzled look, the friendly staff offered me to sample of their best-seller
Movie Night. It had tiny potato chip bits that was quite salty and caramel. It reminded me of a lightened version of the currently trending
Salted Caramel flavor. Since I was looking for something unique, I settled for the
Malted Cookie Dough.

| ♥ Malted Cookie Dough in Cup (200 php/Double Scoop) |
My
Malted Cookie Dough in Cup had a rough waffle cookie on it. I really love the smooth and creamy texture of their gelato. They don't scrimp on the ingredients too.
The
Malted Cookie Dough had sweet and chewy malted milk cubes, mini chocolate chips, cookie dough bits and walnuts. I had a lot of fun with the playful mix of textures and flavors. The sweet taste could get a bit overwhelming though so you'll enjoy it better if you alternate a spoonful with a bite at the waffle biscuit.
It's really delicious! I finished my cup clean see. =)
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Bono Artisanal Gelato offers creatively delicious frozen treats that will surely win you over. I like their concept. Making new flavors regularly will surely entice people like me to try them. In terms of price, I find it a bit expensive but it's worth paying for since what they make can't be found elsewhere. Their place may not be as cozy as coffee shops but their have a speedy and reliable
WiFi makes it a great hang out option.
