Malaysian-based micro-batch ice cream brand, Kelava, is moving from supermarket shelves to its own scoop shop with the opening of its first outlet in Berjaya Times Square. The new store marks the first time the brand will be serving its customers directly. In the new retail space, Kelava will offer its ice cream in scoops of single or double with the option to customize them with five different toppings available. In conjunction with the launch, Kelava has also introduced three new flavours, available only at this outlet.
“With any business, it is always important to establish roots. Therefore, we are thrilled to be expanding Kelava to the retail market, and we look forward to meeting more of our customers in person,” said Dato’ Sydney Quays, Group CEO of Berjaya Food Berhad. “We are excited to bring to you fresh, innovative approaches to ice cream and raise the bar for our brand even further. The Kelava store is a critical step for us to meet the needs of those who prefer non-dairy alternatives but want the same enjoyment and happiness that they get with a cone of ice cream in their hands.”

Founded in 2017 in a home kitchen, Kelava produces and distributes premium handcrafted micro batch ice cream, which are rich, creamy, and completely plant-based. The name Kelava is derived from the combination of words ‘Kelapa,’ which means coconut and ‘love.’ Kelapa is the main ingredient in the ice cream base, bringing smooth indulgence to the mindful ice cream lovers. Kelava ice cream is produced locally in small batches using the freshest ingredients available, allowing each scoop to be filled with intention and care.
“When I started Kelava, it was from my own kitchen. I experimented several different times just to get the right texture and flavours. Now, although our brand has expanded, the method is still the same,” said Mr Azlan Alladin, Founder and CEO of Kelava. “I have always dreamt of this moment, and I am honoured to be able to bring these wonderful creations directly to our customers and instantly hear their responses. My hope is that this store will allow us to grow an even bigger community and to share the enjoyment of ice cream with everyone.”
