Gold by Ice Cream Works, the latest dessert haven, has officially opened its doors in Bandra, inviting you to indulge in a revolutionary ice cream experience. The brainchild of culinary maestros Sanjiv and Alisha Chona, Gold by Ice Cream Works promises to redefine the traditional ice cream encounter and set a new standard within the industry.
Inspired by a shared passion for elevating the ice cream experience, Sanjiv and Alisha embarked on a journey to create a brand that goes beyond the ordinary. Gold by Ice Cream Works introduces a tantalising fusion of flavours, artistry, and presentation, aiming to engage all the senses. From sourcing the finest ingredients globally to crafting unique ice cream forms like donuts, cupcakes, and Japanese snow desserts, the brand is committed to pushing the boundaries of traditional ice cream offerings.
Positioning itself as an Indian brand with global aspirations, Gold by Ice Cream Works seeks to compete with international giants like Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s. The brand distinguishes itself by offering a range of sugar-free ice creams, frappes, and desserts, a feat unmatched by its competitors. The focus is on delivering high-quality, handcrafted ice creams at a more accessible price point, proudly made in India.
Gold by Ice Cream Works boasts an eclectic menu influenced by culinary traditions from around the world. From the rich flavours of Italian gelato to the vibrancy of traditional Indian sweets like Kaju Katli, the brand takes customers on a global ice cream journey. The artistic presentation, including Murano glasses from Italy and a unique scent crafted specifically for the store, creates a multi-sensory experience for visitors.
In its commitment to innovation, Gold by Ice Cream Works has introduced a range of exclusive and limited-edition flavours. The brand continuously explores new combinations, drawing inspiration from seasonal fruits, and plans to introduce exciting additions to its coffee drinks menu. The emphasis on creating unique and diverse offerings extends beyond ice creams to an extensive drinks menu, featuring 100% Arabica coffee sourced from the northern hills of India.
The brand’s dedication to luxury is evident in its packaging, with retail tubs adorned with gold foiling – a first in the industry. Gold by Ice Cream Works also embraces environmentally conscious practices, using glass jars for takeaway sundaes and striving to balance premium presentation with sustainable choices.
For Alisha, ice cream runs in the family. With a rich legacy that began with Cream Centre in the 1950s, Alisha and Sanjiv have continually pushed the boundaries of ice cream innovation. Gold by Ice Cream Works is a culmination of decades of experience, passion, and a desire to offer customers a premium, yet accessible, ice cream experience.
Alisha brings a wealth of experience to Gold by Ice Cream Works, having played a pivotal role in the rebranding and expansion of Cream Centre. With a decade-long journey at the helm of Ice Cream Works and extensive experience in brand expansion, Alisha is poised to lead Gold by Ice Cream Works into new territories.
Creating Gold by Ice Cream Works was a labour of love that spanned two and a half years. Every element, from the store’s design to the choice of Murano glasses and gold-foiled tubs, was meticulously chosen to create an ambiance that resonates with warmth, luxury, and playfulness. The store features a kinetic energy art sculpture, an ode to tranquillity and the sense of arriving home.
Gold by Ice Cream Works is not just an ice cream café; it’s a celebration of flavours, textures, and experiences. As the brand unveils its golden doors to the public, it invites everyone to step into a world where ice cream is not just a treat but a symphony of indulgence, art, and innovation.
