If you take your chocolate ice cream seriously, The Creamwork delivers with its intense, unapologetically rich Death by Chocolate. Dense, dark, and dangerously satisfying – one spoonful and you’ll understand why it’s named the way it is.

Milkd is known for creative flavours, and if you’re looking to flirt with chocolate while embracing a bit of flair, their Black Forest Ice Cream Cake hits the mark. It’s cherry ice cream with a cherry sauce base, drenched in chocolate syrup and finished with delicate chocolate shavings on top. The flavour profile is a nod to the classic cake but reimagined for warm Bahrain evenings.

You won’t find Instagrammable cones or trendy toppings here, and that’s precisely the charm. Atlanta Ice Cream Bahrain is old-school in the best way possible. Their chocolate ice cream is nostalgic with just the right amount of cocoa, perfectly sweet, and creamy without being over-the-top.
