Affogato, born from two of Italy’s most prized culinary inventions, gelato and espresso, is once again sweeping through the streets of Florence. The city reinvented the classic treat—with dense, chilled ice cream pressed against the walls of the cup, forming a well for the steamy coffee—propelling it to virality.
Now, it is coming to Singapore as AiFOKATO opens its doors in Telok Ayer. The cosy wood-panelled space invites you in to escape Singapore’s sweltering heat with their artisanal treats. Alongside that, it also offers other culinary sensations such as -86 Coffee and Butter Mochis from Korea.
Spotlighting the signature Affogato, it’s sold with a DIY concept that lets you create up to 12 flavour combinations. Four gelato flavours: Madagascar Vanilla Gelato, Premium Korean Matcha Gelato, Callebaut Dark Chocolate Gelato, and lastly its signature Premium Pistachio Gelato—and three hot pours: Espresso, Hot Chocolate, and Matcha Pour. Their gelato is made egg-free and gluten-free, with clean, mellow flavours that can balance out the intensity of the espresso.
The -86 Coffee is a recreation of a coffee trend spreading through Asia. Originating from China, this coffee-drinking method starts with a -86°C glass, into which piping-hot coffee is poured. The frosty visuals and extreme temperature contrast had coffee drinkers everywhere hooked, and now you too, can enjoy this smooth, creamy blend.
Finally, bringing over the Butter Mochi craze from Korea, these snacks perfectly complement the cafe’s coffee selections. The sinful little buns have a beautifully golden, crunchy exterior that gives way to a chewy, buttery bread on every bite. Enjoy with an Affogato or a -86 Coffee, and you’ve got a match made in heaven.
So head down to AiFOKATO for a unique take on Affogato, among other trendy bites. From customisable selections to culinary crazes, it’s the perfect place for leisurely chats and coffee dates.
