Happy thursday,
Gelato is this week's highlight..!
Dig in. |
A new family-owned gelato shop in south Edmonton is capturing attention with small-batch, artisanal ice creams and sorbets crafted from treasured family recipes.
Located near 101st Street NW, the shop stands out for its warm welcome and commitment to the community, featuring local art, friendly staff, and a cozy, home-like vibe.
Signature flavors showcase Alberta’s best—think Saskatoon berry, tart rhubarb, and vegan, dairy-free sorbets—while collaborations with local partners keep the menu inventive.
The business is quickly becoming a gathering spot, with neighbors chatting over cones, families flocking in, and younger locals hosting gelato-themed meetups.
With roots in farmers markets and a strong focus on transparency, the owners remain hands-on, fostering a sense of authenticity and pride that’s energizing the area’s culinary scene.
As summer arrives, lines out the door signal that Edmonton’s food landscape is embracing local flavor and tradition in the sweetest way. Read More... |
