After the mix-up at lunch, my wife and I needed something to lift our spirits that afternoon. We needed a little sweet resurrection for our rather downed spirits—and we found just the place for it: Bonne Creme.
The Café District of Kolkata is perfect for moments like these. Every time you find yourself in the neighbourhood, there seems to be a new joint waiting to be discovered. This time, it was an ice cream place with some of the smartest and most tastefully done interiors we had come across.
The ice cream tubs immediately caught our attention.
The first flavour that caught my eye was Godhoraj Lemon. I asked for a taster and, the moment I tried it, I knew this was the one for me. The refreshing citrusy punch was exactly what I needed.
My wife, meanwhile, embarked on her own serious ice cream investigation. She went through what seemed like half a dozen flavours before finally settling on Almond Nougat Salted Caramel, even though they had a Matcha & Jasmine flavour. Well, you know my wife and her Matcha obsession by now, but I think today's quota of Matcha was done at Ariko!
One large scoop each, served in a cone, and we simply sat back and enjoyed our ice creams.
As I looked around, I realised that Bonne Creme was a venture by Balaram's, which made perfect sense given the attention to detail and the quality of what was being served.
And just like that, the afternoon had been redeemed.
Sometimes, all it takes is a really good ice cream to turn a disappointing day around. For us, Bonne Creme provided the perfect sweet ending—and the perfect redemption—to an otherwise rather eventful afternoon.
