Ice Cream from Your Neighbor: Abu Yaseen Is Creating a Buzz in Damascus
Every summer, there’s a new flavor that steals the spotlight, and this time, the trend came from something we never expected: the janerik (green plums). The fruit we know for its sour and refreshing taste has become ice cream at Abu Yaseen’s in Damascus. With a light squeeze of lemon, it turned into a bold, unusual, and appetizing summer idea. Janerik ice cream isn’t just a new name on the menu; it’s a different experience for fans of sour and cold flavors, especially during the summer days. You get a clear fruity taste and a refreshing sensation that makes it perfect for a quick summer outing or an unconventional treat for your guests.
Natural Fruit Flavors
Abu Yaseen didn’t stop at the janerik trend. He also offers ice cream with chunks of fresh fruit, like strawberries, mango, kiwi, and pineapple. Each flavor is crafted to deliver the real taste of fruit, not just artificial flavoring. What’s more important is that their ice creams and gelato are made from natural ingredients, without any artificial coloring.
Ice Cream and Gelato for All Tastes
The selection at Abu Yassin’s is broad and diverse, catering to those who love classic flavors as well as those seeking something new. You’ll find chocolate, Oreo, caramel, Nescafe, coconut, mango, and tutti frutti ice cream. For fans of traditional flavors, there are options like man wa salwa (nougat), jallab with almonds, coconut with ashmaleesh, and, of course, authentic Arabic ice cream in its well-known Damascene style.
Caseta and Luxurious Hospitality
If you have an occasion, engagement, wedding, or a family gathering, Caseta from Abu Yassin is a classy option perfect for hosting. The variety of flavors ranges from fruits, nuts, Nescafe, to man wa salwa, appealing to more than one taste at the same time. This kind of hospitality is light, cold, and looks great—especially in summer, when people want something refreshing instead of heavy desserts.
Unique Sweets
Besides ice cream, Abu Yassin also offers Western sweets, various petit fours, Halawat Al-Jibn, and cakes. So you can drop by for ice cream, order a full dessert spread for home, or just pick a nice treat to go with your coffee.
Why try it?
Because Abu Yassin managed to offer a smart summer idea: a familiar Levantine flavor like janerek, but in a new and refreshing way. At the same time, he has a wide selection of natural ice cream, fresh fruits, oriental flavors, and caseta. If you want to try something different, or if you want natural ice cream without artificial coloring, Abu Yassin definitely deserves a spot on your summer outing list.
