Affogato – a delicious combination of premium Gelato and Starbucks coffee.

At Starbucks, we’re always looking for ways to innovate and enhance the customer experience. By introducing Gelato into our beverage offering, we’re creating a new occasion for customers to enjoy our coffee in a fresh and indulgent way.

Our journey into espresso culture began when Howard Schultz visited Milan in 1983. He was captivated by the vibrant coffee bars of Milan—places where coffee wasn’t just a drink, but a daily ritual, a moment of connection, and a celebration of flavour. That experience made us the different kind of company we are today.

Now, we’re returning to our Heritage with Affogato; a classic Italian dessert that perfectly embodies the spirit of that inspiration. Already a hit at our Starbucks Reserve™ Roastery in Milan, Affogato combines espresso poured over premium Gelato—simple, elegant, and indulgent.

To ensure the highest quality, we’ve partnered with Hackney Gelato, a small-batch Gelato maker, born in Italy, made in East London. Their artisan Gelato is the perfect match for our coffee, creating a treat that’s both nostalgic and new.

Available exclusively at our Tower Place, London store.
