Some days just call for ice cream. Not because it’s too hot outside, not because you need an excuse, just because. I found myself craving something sweet and nostalgic, so I decided to take a little detour from my usual routine and visit, a little ice cream shop tucked away in the heart of Nairobi called Cold Stone.
The Charm of a Local Ice Cream Shop
As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by the comforting scent of fresh waffle cones and the hum of soft jazz playing in the background. The décor was a mix of vintage charm and modern minimalism; pastel walls, old-school African posters, and fairy lights draped around the menu board.
The Ultimate Dilemma: Choosing a Flavor
The display case was filled with vibrant, creamy swirls of every imaginable flavor. From classics like Madagascar Vanilla and Dark Chocolate Fudge to adventurous picks like Mango Chili Sorbet and Matcha White Chocolate.
After sampling (because how could I not?), I finally settled on a scoop of Salted Caramel Brownie in a freshly made waffle cone.
The Simple Joy of Ice Cream
I took my ice cream outside, found a cozy bench under a shady tree, and savored each bite. There’s something so childlike and freeing about eating ice cream, it’s a simple pleasure that instantly lifts your mood.
As I people-watched, I saw kids giggling over dripping cones and a couple sharing a sundae. It reminded me that life is made up of these little moments, the ones where we slow down and just enjoy.
Because sometimes, all you need is a scoop of ice cream to make life just a little bit sweeter. 🍦✨
