Starting a new business, securing a huge base of loyal customers, and expanding to new locations in a short time – it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Or in this case, ice-cream. It’s passion for ice-creams that made John Mathai Paul leave his job and travel to Europe to learn ice-cream manufacturing. Interning with chocolate manufacturers and ice-cream makers, he received the know-how of making authentic chocolates, ice-creams, and gelatos. He then returned to his hometown of Thiruvananthapuram and established ‘Paul’s Creamery’. To gauge public taste for flavours and combinations, he held tasting events that gathered positive reviews from the foodies. The success of the Creamery at Thiruvananthapuram led to him expanding his venture to Kochi, where two outlets have been opened with good public response.

So what makes Paul’s Creamery special for foodies? Of course, the wide variety of authentic flavoured ice-creams. Made with fresh ingredients, good cream, and pure milk and bringing the taste of flavour to the fore makes these ice-creams the most sought-after. Be it the strawberry, mint chocolate chip or cheesecake, the flavours come out. The creamy, light and smooth ice-creams float in the mouth and give the foodies value for money. The flavours at Paul’s Creamery are changed frequently. Do not fret – any day you are there, there would be choices that suit your taste.

Flavours at this joint include biscotti, blueberry cheesecake, caramel, coffee, coconut, extra dark chocolate, Ferrero Roche, mint choco chip, pista, rambutan, strawberry and wildberries. Brownies, cakes, coffee and pastries are also made available as per order. No artificial coloring or preservatives are used to make the ice-creams. They are made daily with fresh ingredients. As the ice-creams are made in store where the customers can watch it being made, the joint is termed Live Ice-Cream Factory. To meet the standards and achieve best results, the ice-cream churners, freezers, storage, etc. are imported.

Speaking of flavours, the authentic taste is achieved and maintained to perfection. For the dark chocolate lovers they have the Chocolate Overload Waffles – Giant Belgian waffles topped with dark chocolate ice-cream and drizzled with dark chocolate sauce. John introduces new desserts based on fruits. Every now and then, they have limited edition flavours such as the ‘Chakka-Manga-Thenga’ (jackfruit, mango and coconut), Motichoor Laddu, and Semiya Payasam. Activated charcoal, cotton candy and Oreos made the Game of Thrones flavour. John’s travels means introduction of more flavours at Paul’s Creamery. After his travel to Sri Lanka, he introduced tea leaf-based flavour. For their fourth anniversary, John introduced two combinations of ice-cream tacos. Caramel Intenso Taco – Waffle cone taco filled with Lotus Biscoff and Salted Caramel Ice cream. The toppings are Caramel Crunch, banana, salted caramel sauce and whipped cream. The second is, Unicorn Taco, in which waffle cone taco is filled with Blue Cotton Candy and Bubble Gum ice creams, topped with Nutella, whipped cream and Marshmallow and Sprinkles. Another favorite among ice-cream lovers is Cloud 9 with Ferrero Roche, ice-cream, honey, Nutella, and Waffle. Fresh Bananas layered with Toffee Caramel and Cream on a buttery biscuit base, Classic Banofee pie, Cassata Ice-cream, Mango Shorbet, Blue Cotton Candy ice cream topped with vanilla cake, sprinkles and Nutella – the list goes on and on. This charming and cozy ice-cream joint with cute doodles and warm lighting is the ideal place to experience innovative ice-creams and desserts.
