1. Ragusa

Previously, Ragusa only sold its ice cream once a year, precisely when Gambir Market was held or what is now known as Jakarta Fair. Only in 1947, Ragusa had its own cafe located in Citadelweg, now Jalan Veteran I No. 20, Central Jakarta.

The most interesting thing about this legendary ice cream cafe is the interior of the room and the cutlery which are still old school. The most favorite ice cream in Ragusa is Tutti Frutti and Cassata Siciliana.
