Curiosity About 123 Gelato
Since there was only one location in Ichon,
I have always been curious about 123 Gelato.
After Ichon, they opened a branch in Hannam-dong,
and now there is also a Jongno branch.
I heard they will soon open a fourth location, but where will it be?
Location and Space
It's located between Jongno 3-ga and Anguk Station,
inside a hotel that made me wonder, 'Is there really a place like this here?'
They offer a total of 12 flavors,
and you can enjoy them in a cone or a cup.
I heard the cones are the specialty here,
but since only one flavor is available for cones, I opted for a cup.
Inside, there's another restaurant called Cosmos,
which was closed, allowing me to enjoy my gelato inside.
Cosmos seems to be quite a popular spot as well.
Flavors and Choices
Waffle cones and cookies
Recently, I saw on 123 Gelato's Instagram that they were making a caramel flavor.
The Ichon location had flavors up to number 12.
Dubai flavor costs an extra 2,000 won, but I couldn't resist.
Of course, my sister treated me. 😊

Tasting Notes
The Dubai chocolate is not what I expected. 😊
I would have preferred if it had some texture or coating,
but it tasted more like pistachio with a soggy kadaif flavor.
Surprisingly, the Jeju matcha was much more delicious.
Overall, my expectations for 123 Gelato were perhaps too high.
