hay, gelato. (Katong)

Just had the waffle with three scoops of gelato at Hey Gelato Joo Chiat and it honestly exceeded my expectations. The waffle was served warm and crispy on the outside, yet fluffy on the inside, creating the perfect contrast against the cold, creamy gelato. The caramel drizzle added just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. The gelato itself was smooth, rich, and packed with flavour. Each scoop had a velvety texture and wasn’t overly sweet, allowing the ingredients to really shine. The crunchy toppings added a nice bite and complemented the creamy gelato beautifully. The staff there was really kind and outgoing,they were very upselling of the gelatos.Great customer service. What I enjoyed most was how well everything came together — warm waffle, cold gelato, crunchy toppings, and sweet caramel sauce. Every mouthful had a good balance of textures and flavours. If you’re around Joo Chiat and craving dessert, this is definitely worth a visit. Perfect for sharing, but honestly, you might not want to. 😋🍦🧇 Rating: 9/10 “Shiok, not too sweet, generous portions, and the waffle was on point. Will definitely come back to try more flavours!” 🇸🇬✨

Popped by for a quick waffle, with cacao and strawberry balsamic ice cream. Waffle 10/10 super crisp yet soft inside, cacao ice cream 9/10, strawberry ice cream 7/10. The selection of ice cream here is a touch eclectic. While I am a very adventurous person when it comes to food, I like the basics for ice cream. They did warn that the waiting time for the waffle is about 10-15 minutes. No worries; good things take time to crisp up.

Chanced upon this after catching a movie opp I12 Katong and craved a gelato... Tried Balsamic strawberry, Granny Smith and Ginger and Apple Cinnamon, all flavors were not bad but I did like the Granny Smith one best so got myself a scoop, as it was a premium flavour it was extra so $6.30 a scoop which is pretty ex IMO and scoop was pretty small and deflated (was the last customer so thot id get a lil bit more or at least a round scoop) sigh ah well... They have a silly thing that u cant get 2 scoops coz they only have 1 size of a cup and no cone which is a little bit of a let down coz i really wanted a double scoop cone... All in all not bad but wont be rushing over back coz of the price and lack of cones...

Serving size is good, aesthetic place & good vibes from staff :-) have such unique flavours, very diff from otherss. loveeeeeeee

Lately this has been my favourite go-to gelato place! such an underrated spot, will never get bored of their unique flavours 😋 Got the Roasted Cacao today, butttt Blue Pea Lavender and Vanilla Himalayan Salt will always be my go-to P.S friendly staff, closes late night during weekends ;)) + bonus: goat coffee spot too

My wife and I got the Jolin’s Jasmine Coffee & Roasted Cacao and it was absolutely delicious 💯🍨. We were so tempted to get the waffle as it smelled amazing, but we were already too full haha. We’ll definitely be back to get the roasted pistachio and another flavour I forgot. Besides the gelatos, the place is absolutely lovely with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you to the joyful and friendly staff.

Ice cream flavours weren’t really exciting or enticing (to me, someone else may think differently). Ice cream texture was great, creamy lovely but flavours were uninteresting. Nothing really caught my attention but I did want to give it a go so I ordered the earl grey and some sea salt chocolate ones. Waffle was overcooked. Ice latte was the saving grace. A little ice cream shop/cafe with so much potential seeing that it’s in such a great location in Katong along a row full of lovely cafes and bistros but fell short.

Was ecstatic to see that they had kinako flavor. The flavor was on point but so so so sweet. Loved the smoothness of the gelato. Visit 2: had the subtle hay flavor. I’m not sure what hay is supposed to taste like but there was a deeper accent of milkiness that I quite enjoyed. Also tasted the pistachio flavor. It captured perfectly the richness of toasted pistachios in cream.
