LAST DAY OF OUR GRANITA SEASON
Ok ok technically this half granita (pistacchio di Bronte) and half Coronation grape sorbetto ๐
But the point is, we have loved making granita for you this summer and watching all of you mix and match alllll the flavours and iterations- with gelato, sorbetto, panna, coconut panna, and enjoying *frozen* granita AKA freeze pops! Thanks for eating your way through the season with us, starting with strawberries in June and ending with grapes in October. ๐ โก๏ธ๐
Granita 2027 starts up when the fruit growing season starts again, and we begin that cycle every year with ๐๐๐
So until next summer, we say so long to granita ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ but WE ARE STILL OPEN making gelato until the end of October. ๐

BONUS FLAVOUR in the gelato cabinet this week: TAHINI & DATE - itโs dairy free and super creamy and earthy tasting! (Tahini is white sesame paste)
Weโll definitely be having this one in an affogato for a nutty Fall treat ๐โ๏ธ but it would also pair beautifully with the Coronation grape, dark chocolate or the olive oil gelato flavours on this weekโs menu.

Happy October ๐
Sadly, this is the last week for granita this season. Thank you thank you to everyone who enjoyed granita with us over the summer. We miraculously found one last hidden block of Sicilian almond paste to make a limited final batch of granita with, so this flavour will be available until it runs out.
๐ Itโs finally time for Coronation grape- weโve turned it into a beautiful wine-hued sorbetto.
๐ฅYogurt bianco- plain white yogurt gelato, the perfect tart pairing flavour.
๐ MandorlAmarena: Dairy free toasted almond (mandorla) gelato rippled with Italian Wild Amarena cherry sauce.
๐ซ Cremino: Our Piemonte hazelnut gelato with layers of chocolate hazelnut sauce.
Pistacchio di Bronte is on the GRANITA menu this week, not available as gelato.
Our collab flavour with Joฬey Nordic Seed Crisps : Lemon, Rosemary & White Chocolate is available in single serve and takeaway pints. Lemon cream gelato with crunchy rosemary and black pepper seed crisps suspended in a white chocolate sauce. Bags of seed crisps are also available for purchase in-store!
See you this week for granita and gelato, vi aspettiamo!
Canโt wait to see you โ๐ผ

Itโs Sunday! Come try this weekโs hot flaves before we switch things up next week!

Lemon cream gelato with crunchy seed crisps suspended in white chocolate sauce ๐
DAIRY FREE Peanut butter and fudge ๐ฅ๐ซ
We didnโt think we were salted caramel lovers, but this week weโve been converted! Super creamy, buttery, with a nice hit of salt.
We turned Ginger Gold apples from Sun-Ray Orchards into a gelato that tastes like apple pie ๐ฅง with chunks of house-made cinnamon oat crumble.
Plum & Purple shiso sorbetto (dairy free) is made with blue plums (thank you Sun-Ray Orchards !) and an infusion of purple shiso (thank you Lindsie Canton !). The shiso lends not only a beautiful magenta colour, but an earthy, clove / anise flavour profile to this plum forward flavour.

Swipe to see freshly picked crisp Ginger Gold apples from Sun-Ray Orchards be transformed into Ginger Gold apple crumble gelato.
The apples are roasted with cinnamon and brown sugar before they go into our gelato base. We top it off with house-made oat crumble and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Welcome to Fall ๐
