Gelato Pique\u2019s spinoff cafes pique our interest with adorable ice cream and mochi treats<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n From its name, you might assume that Gelato Pique<\/strong> is an ice cream brand, but it\u2019s actually a Japanese apparel company that specializes in cute and cozy roomwear (including Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> designs<\/a>). The company describes its aesthetic as being \u201cinspired by sweet indulgences,\u201d hence the \u201cGelato\u201d part of its name.<\/p>\n However, there\u2019s a lot of crossover between fans of comfy pajamas and relaxing cafes, so while it wasn\u2019t Gelato Pique\u2019s original plan, the brand has also been spun off into a Gelato Pique Cafe <\/strong>chain. This is where the brand\u2019s linguistic atmosphere starts wrapping back on itself. Gelato Pique\u2019s clothing has to be extra-cute in order to match the sweetness of its name, but that then means Gelato Pique Cafe\u2019s customers are going to expect food and drinks on a higher level of photogenic cuteness than at other restaurants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a bar Gelato Pique Cafe is easily clearing, though with its Sea Animals sweets series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Leading the way in this fresh wave of adorable eats is Gelato Pique\u2019s original marine mammal crepe, the Mochimochi (\u201cChewy\u201d) Seal Crepe<\/strong>, returning following its initial stint on the menu last summer. Wrapped inside the crepe are whipped cream, tiramisu cream, sliced mango, sliced almonds, and caramel sauce<\/strong>, and sitting atop it is a scoop of black sesame ice cream wrapped in mochi, with chocolate pieces to make the adorable seal\u2019s facial features<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Joining the seal is the new Pukapuka (\u201cFloating\u201d) Otter Gelato<\/strong>, looking like a sea otter happily drifting about in the waves. Here too you get black sesame ice cream with chocolate pieces<\/strong>, and the critter\u2019s hands are formed from black sesame-infused whipped cream<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also the new Hinyari (\u201cChilly\u201d) Walrus Crepe<\/strong>. Instead of black sesame, the ice cream topping here is a chocolate banana<\/strong> flavor, with chocolate for the eyes, nose and whiskers, and marshmallows<\/strong> serving as the tusks. Inside the crepe are tiramisu cream, sliced bananas, and caramel sauce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n And last, if you\u2019re thirsty but still want something sweet, there\u2019s the Purupuru (\u201cJiggly\u201d) Penguin Soda Float<\/strong>. The base here is Ramune<\/strong> (an apple\/citrus cider that\u2019s a perennial summertime favorite in Japan) with fish-shaped pineapple gelatin<\/strong> pieces added. Floating atop the drink is a scoop of milk gelato<\/strong>, and standing on top of that is a penguin-shaped monaka wafer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Pukapuka Otter gelato cone is priced at 840 yen (US$5.40), the Purupuru Penguin soda at 890, and the crepes 1,290 yen each. They\u2019ll all be available at Gelato Pique Cafe branches between now and July 1.<\/p>\n Related: Gelato Pique Cafe location list<\/a><\/em> Gelato Pique\u2019s spinoff cafes pique our interest with adorable ice cream and mochi treats.
