Haagen-Daz Cafe in Shanghai


Haagen-Daz
Addres: Nanjing Lu, every other Shanghai popular shopping area

Haagen-Daz has gotten pretty innovative in China. They have created these beautiful looking ice cream pastrie dishes that even come in dim sum themes, Japanese bento themes. Their menu is absolutely beautiful, I was tempted to photograph every page. Unfortunately that was only because their ice cream doesn't look nearly that nice in real life. I ordered an Italian ice cream concoction that should've looked like a delicate French high-end dish, but it had a glop of ice cream here and there in a pool of strawberry syrup. The fruits accompanying the ice cream were also frozen. Happily, the passion fruit sorbet and ice cream scoops were actually quite good, but I had paid 72 RMB for the presentation, not for two small scoops of Haagen-Daz ice cream.

I would only recommend coming here to get regular Haagen-Daz ice cream cones, not their creations.
