Tucked away in the vibrant lanes of Pali Hill, Frozen Fun Café offers a little taste of Italy, thanks to a passionate team of Italian chefs. This isn’t just another dessert spot—it’s an immersive experience that brings together the essence of Indo-Italian culture.
At the helm of this delightful venture is Vasuki Punj, the founder and CEO of Frozen Fun. A former Miss Universe India 2011, Punj transitioned from law to entrepreneurship, channeling her love for gelato into a space that celebrates authenticity and quality.
Stepping into Frozen Fun Café is like entering a pastel dream. Designed by Aatika Manzar, the café’s interiors feature baby pink brick walls, cosy seating, and a stunning floral ceiling that creates the perfect Instagram-worthy backdrop. Neon-lit quotes and a massive gelato cone sculpture add a playful touch, making it an ideal spot for an indulgent dessert date or a casual brunch with friends.
While gelato remains the star of the show, what sets Frozen Fun apart is its ever-changing menu. Unlike most cafés, you won’t find a fixed list of gelato flavors here. Instead, the chefs curate a fresh selection daily, ensuring that no two visits are the same. From creamy Forest Berry Cheesecake to indulgent Sicilian Pistachio, each scoop is crafted with high-quality ingredients imported from Italy. The Salted Butter Caramel, with its perfect balance of sweetness and richness, quickly became a personal favorite.
Beyond gelato, the menu extends to delightful breakfast options, vibrant salads, and wholesome bowls. Dishes like Shakshuka eggs with ciabatta and Egg Florentine on an English muffin make for a delicious start to the day. Health-conscious diners can opt for the Super Millets Bowl, packed with kale, roasted beets, barley, and pumpkin seeds, or the Protein Bowl featuring grilled chicken, black rice, and avocado.
For those craving something heartier, the Roman-style pizzas are a must-try. With a perfectly matured dough that’s both light and airy, these pizzas offer the ultimate comfort food experience. The Quattro Formaggi, loaded with mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola, and cream cheese, is a flavor-packed delight, while the Aglio Olio pasta delivers a punch of garlicky goodness that’s impossible to resist.
Vegan options are also available, with refreshing sorbets like Passion Fruit, Raspberry, and Blackcurrant providing a fruity alternative to traditional gelato. Whether you prefer a rich, creamy indulgence or a light, refreshing treat, Frozen Fun Café has something for everyone.
The story behind Frozen Fun is as charming as the café itself. It all started on a sunny afternoon in Goa when Vasuki Punj and her friends discovered Cream Choc, a beloved gelateria known for its exquisite flavors. As they enjoyed every bite, someone in the group wondered why such authentic gelato wasn’t available in Delhi. That moment sparked an idea, leading Vasuki to collaborate with Italian gelato maestro Davide Passarella—fondly known as Mr. Gelato—to bring this exceptional dessert experience to India.
With over three decades of expertise, Davide’s craft has now found a home in Mumbai through Frozen Fun. By blending traditional Italian techniques with an evolving menu, the café aims to redefine India’s frozen dessert scene.
Whether you’re in the mood for a classic gelato, a light sorbet, or a satisfying Italian meal, Frozen Fun Café promises an experience that’s both comforting and indulgent. Next time you’re in Bandra, let yourself be whisked away to Italy—one delicious scoop at a time.
