Pesca Gelato Bali

Gelato refuge in Renon

On Jl. Cok Agung Tresna No. 162, in the administrative heart of Renon, Pesca Gelato Bali feels like a cool pause button on a hot Denpasar day. Locals mention it as a “new gelato destination” and even “best gelato in town”, a spot where office workers, families and expats escape the traffic and heat for something sweet.

Location, hours and access

Set on a corner in Sumerta Kelod, this “cute pinky shop” is easy to access and reviewers repeatedly note a “spacious park lot” and comfy, air‑conditioned interior. Official hours aren’t clearly stated; market notes suggest their branches usually run roughly 09h00–21h00/22h00, with ordering also possible via GoFood and GrabFood in those windows. Contact is straightforward by WhatsApp at +62 812-8951-1122.

Scoops, prices and portions

Pricing is described as “affordable” and “fair for the portion”: several visitors mention 20k for 1 scoop, 30k–35k for 2 scoops in a cup. Some market feedback flags Pesca as a premium brand at around ~39k IDR for two balls, but most on‑the‑ground reviews call the price “norm” or “great value”. Portions get praised for being generous and dense, with one guest likening it to a “Hagendazz local version”.

Flavours that keep people coming back

Rum Raisin and Pistachio appear again and again as house signatures, often singled out as among the best people have tried, with a noticeable “kick” in the alcohol‑based scoops. Fans also rave about Blackforest, Whiskey Regal, pistachio kunafa, dark chocolate granola, green tea, Earl Grey, mango berry, Straciatela + Strawberry swirl, es teler and a range of tropical and alcoholic gelati. Many stress that the gelato is “not too sweet”, creamy, rich and slow to melt in Bali’s heat.

Beyond scoops: mochis, cakes and more

Pesca is more than a gelato counter. The Renon shop sells mochi ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, “rocher”, sorbets, cupcake‑style treats, lollipop ice cream, ready‑to‑go tubs, hampers and ice cream cakes for birthdays and celebrations. Market notes highlight this wider range as a key strength, positioning Pesca firmly in the “Dessert Premium & Cadeaux” niche, with hampers and ice cakes described as good value and nicely presented.

Space, coffee and service

Inside, the room is repeatedly described as cozy, chic and “Instagramable”, with a pink palette, bright light and air‑conditioning. Guests settle in for gelato with coffee, rocher bars or croissants; several reviewers in 2024 praise both the coffee and buttery pastries, while the market report also notes occasional criticism of baked goods as a bit dry compared with the excellent gelato. Staff are consistently called friendly, humble and patient, sometimes even offering free samples and helping guests choose flavours.

Strengths, trade‑offs and who it suits

On the plus side: a wide flavour range (including many alcoholic options), dense and smooth texture, comfortable hangout space, kids‑friendly atmosphere and strong gift options. On the minus side: pastries can be hit‑and‑miss, and some may find prices edging into “treat, not everyday” territory depending on the item.

Overall, Pesca Gelato Bali in Renon suits anyone in Denpasar who cares more about deep flavour and a relaxed corner to linger than about being in the tourist zones of Seminyak or Canggu.
