Why go
Seasonal fruit is the whole idea here. The Ice Cream Shop is the frozen-treat counter within NG Enjoy in Sapanca, and its ice cream is made with fresh fruit that changes through the year.
Fruit sets the flavours
There is no fixed signature scoop to ask for, and that is deliberate. The flavour worth ordering is whichever fruit is in season on the day you visit, which is the reason the ice cream is made this way in the first place.
A counter, not a café
This is a short stop rather than a destination. Order at the counter, carry the scoop out into the quiet grounds around it, and let the Sapanca setting do the rest of the work. The town sits by a lake in the hills east of Istanbul, and the shop belongs to that kind of day out.
What to order
Ask what fruit went into the churn that week and order that. It is the only order that carries the shop's identity, and on a warm afternoon it is reason enough to stop.

Ice cream made with seasonal fresh fruit, which is the counter's defining feature. Rather than a fixed signature flavour, the selection follows whatever fruit is in season, so the best approach is to ask what went into the churn that week and order that.
