Mehmet Ali Akbulut runs Dondurmino out of a 20-square-metre Alaçatı corner; the family's Milkomak company has been in dairy for forty years and the Italian-trained programme that opened here in 2014 churns up to 150 flavours across the season. Financial Times listed it in the world's top-25 boutique gelaterias the same year; later international rankings have kept it on the list. Fresh fruit, real pistachio, a proper sakızlı dondurma, no syrup shortcuts. The Alaçatı counter is the original; the Karaköy branch came after.

Editor's Tip

Order the sakızlı and the Antep fıstığı in the same cup; both are made that morning on the back machine. After 22:00 the queue clears and the counter is at its calmest.
