Days of Elijah Gelato is opened by a former landscape architect who “wanted to preserve memories of the ’70s and ’80s, especially sweet treats that older folks grew up with”.

Days of Elijah Gelato – named for a song title that includes the towkay’s moniker – also serves crowd-pleasers like cookies & cream or dark chocolate sorbet. It’s open till 11pm daily and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.Started Days of Elijah Gelato due to “midlife crisis”

Being his own boss also gives him more creative control. He declares: “As a landscape architect, we do up designs – but not every design will be approved. Clients will say ‘I don’t like this and that, can you change this to what I like’. But as a business owner, you are the owner, creator and architect. It’s free play to do whatever I want.”

Good feedback from his early customers gave him the confidence to open a cafe in Owen Road a year later. “It’s an older estate, but there isn’t much competition in the area – no dessert or gelato shops nearby, which is to our advantage,” he explains.“One thing that struck me is that older people like gelato too – they just can’t have it every day like youngsters . So I thought why not have flavours that both young and old people can accept?” he declares.

The décor is clean with retro touches like Peranakan floor tiling inspired by old-timey buildings in Malacca and a mini heritage wall adorned with illustrations depicting “vanishing trades” like street cobblers and ice cream uncles.While we haven’t headed down yet, here’s what to expect: a single scoop costs $4, while a double goes for $7.50 . Pair it with a cone or Belgian waffle for $9.50 .
