We have heard your requests and brought back:

☕️🍋 CAFFÈ AMALFITANO: Espresso coffee gelato infused with lemon zest. It’s not tart; it’s *bright*. The lemon and coffee really complement each other.

🆕 this week:

🥊FRUIT PUNCH: Pineapple, orange, cranberry, pomegranate, lime and hibiscus all rolled into one!

Available starting Thursday until sold out. If you want to try this one, definitely come Thursday / Friday. It will likely not be around by the weekend.

The inspo for our CAFFÈ SPECIALE gelato flavour comes from the actual caffè speciale we have at Teichner in Rome. .dee always takes us there when we’re visiting and it’s truly a ritual to watch and to drink.

So what’s in our CAFFÈ SPECIALE?
Espresso coffee gelato get layered with swirls of chocolate hazelnut cream. 🤎🖤 Enjoy our memories of Rome in gelato form! And enjoy the banter between Carlo and his sister in the last slide while I was just trying to enjoy my coffee LOL!!!

The two of us were debating how “heavy” this week’s menu was feeling. Chocolate, nuts and chunks always connote “heavy” flavours for us. Hopefully a classic Madagascar vanilla, Limesicle (lime cream gelato) and the Lemon Bergamot sorbetto help balance things out.

It’s a weird in-between season now since the fresh fruit isn’t out yet, and we are using up our stores of last season’s peak fruit. Bear with us a bit longer while we wait for the Ontario fruit and our pistachios to arrive from Sicily. 🚢

Granita season only starts when we have access to LOCAL FRUIT 🍓🍓 And you’ll hear it here first!

In the meantime, enjoy a Caffè Speciale, the coffee flavour we were inspired to make by our favourite caffè speciale from Teichner in Rome.

For the tea lovers, this week we have Masala Chai (spiced tea), which is just like having a cozy tea latte.

Lemon bergamot sorbetto is back this week. Bergamot is a tart citrus fruit that grows in Calabria. Paired with the lemon, it makes for an extra floral and aromatic citrus sorbetto.

Thanks again to everyone who came by and cleaned us out on Monday. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

See you tomorrow, ci vediamo domani ✌🏼

❄️MID-WINTER POP UP FLAVOURS❄️
⛄️February 13 - 16

Okay there are so many personal favourites this week, where to start…

It’s citrus season in places where citrus grows so of course we had to make orange stracciatella 🍊🍫 Creamsicle meets chocolate chip.

Apples do grow in our climate so we have a bright tangy Red Crush apple cider. The flesh of this apple is pink, producing a beautiful blush coloured sorbetto 🍎

We toasted and caramelized ‘s buttery brioche to make a “toast” gelato that gets rippled with our house-made Coronation grape jam.

Caffè Speciale ☕️, inspired by the coffee at one of our go-to spots in Rome, is an espresso gelato with swirls of chocolate hazelnut cream.

If you want a great reco for an affogato this week, may we suggest cinnamon, or Marron glacé!

Lastly, we have Toritto almond, a very special heritage variety of almond grown in Puglia, known for its intense buttery flavour. We were able to bring only a very small amount back from Italy so this one is available for SINGLE SERVE ONLY. NO PINTS.

There are a few extra fun things we made for this weekend so stay tuned. Also- Monday Feb 16 we open from 9am for a “breakfast” pop up with bringing baked goods. Stop in for a coffee, a breakfast dolce or an affogato!
