THEY SELL GELATO.
Review for Gelato
I was on my way to Larry's Produce without navigations and happened to take the wrong route. As I approached the front entrance sign, I happened to see a vertical sign that said "Gelato." I love Gelato and aspire to make good gelato so when I saw that sign I took note of the place! Later in the week I decide to stop by there. Upon entering, an employee greeted me. They asked if for a table, but I only wanted gelato. "Is it okay if I get just Gelato?" "of course! right this way!" she brought me to the dining area and I was able to order over the counter. At the time, I got the Olive oil and the strawberry white chocolate. I believe the total was -$8-$10 which is standard gelato price for 2 scoops. I was able to sit outside the front entrance patio area. Per photo, I was able to enjoy the Olive oil Gelato... I was honestly surprised how much I enjoyed it! I've heard about this flavor and was hesitant to make it myself, but this blew my mind how good it was! It was topped with the olive oil they used and also there's a coarse finishing sea salt top on top to enhance the flavor. When you think of sweet and savory, with a hint of lemon but the richness of a good quality olive oil. That's what you get. The other flavor was good but I think the former was a new flavor to me that I was blind sided by it.
I have stopped by a 2nd time. They said they try to rotate flavors which is common and nice to add variety. I tried their Chocolate and pistachio flavor. the chocolate flavor was very rich, possibly a 85%-100% dark chocolate which I'm starting to enjoy compared to milk chocolate. The Pistachio Flavor had a subtle taste to it which was enjoyable. I did realize maybe it was not the best to include both in the same cup because the chocolate overpowered the pistachio flavor. Still great gelato!
From what I heard they don't make the gelato in house and outsource it somewhere else, but they said they send their olive oil to make the olive oil gelato. Does that change anything? Absolutely not!
They have small section upon entering the building to the right where you could make purchases of olive oil and other products they sell like jams, etc.
Parking:
medium size lot, times that I've been there, it was never busy
Ambiance:
Nice patio and dining area. Very spacious. looks as if you're dining in your backyard. It appears you could have the potential to dine in with a big group. appears to be family friendly with little kiddos.
Service:
although I haven't dined in yet, I have always been welcomed. I'm sure it's odd that I'm only getting gelato, but they have been nothing but nice. Looking forward to dining in near future.
Cleanliness:
Bathroom is very clean. as well as the restaurant.
Overall, this place is a hidden gem in this area. The fact that I stumbled upon it while on my way to a different destination makes it love it more. I've only gone during the afternoon, so it never seemed to be TOO busy. I have yet to dine in for lunch or dinner but It appears everything is fresh, and their menu seems the rotate, which is the idea of farm to table. It's a nice route to take and i do admit I go out my way to get some. I will continue to stop by and get a cup of gelato.
