Right inside the doors is a bright open location with a cooler full of fresh gelato and sorbetto. It is super hard to photograph well but it looks awesome.

Nicky picked pink again. She actually had a few options and settled on stawberry rubarb sorbetto.

My husband got a large bowl of strawberry banana and hazelnut crunch. The portions look small but they are quite dense so it’s way more ice cream than you think at first.

On subsequent trips, we have tried one of their ice cream sandwiches which you can find in the take home cooler. They sandwich gelato between two actual cookies.

It is pretty amazing.
