Many girls dream of receiving roses from their lovers on Valentine’s Day, but fresh flowers eventually wilt after being brought home. Why not give her ice cream that looks just like flowers? Most girls love sweets—why not get her a romantic and unique rose-shaped ice cream?
 
June30th – Handmade Italian Ice Cream

June30th offers handcrafted Italian gelato, with flavors that change daily. It’s low in sugar and contains no additives, so it melts especially quickly at room temperature—you’ll want to eat it right after taking photos. The rose-flavored gelato allows you to mix up to three flavors for an extra-dreamy treat. The shop itself is a charming white European-style cottage, with a large mural of Japan’s Totoro painted on the exterior wall—perfect for photos and check-ins. Aside from rose-shaped gelato, they also offer other cute animal-shaped options. Get whichever one your girlfriend likes best.

Budapest Ice Cream Boutique

Budapest uses natural ingredients to craft various seasonal fruit-flavored ice creams. Their fresh milk comes from 100% pure milk supplied by Zhu’En Ranch. When making their rose ice cream, the shop uses special scooping tools to carefully layer the dessert into delicate rose petals. Recently, they’ve launched a special Qixi Festival event: hands-on workshops where you can learn to make your own rose-flavored ice cream and create a heartfelt treat for your loved one.
