Shaking Things Up

I knew going into here that two things would be certain: I would be getting superb ice cream and said ice cream would probably have an Italian name that was essentially unpronounceable to my feeble mind. So imagine the meltdown my brain went into when faced with stracciatella alla mora e gelso nero….cue pointing and saying, “that one.” Thankfully, the flavour of the month option was far more comprehensible - coffee. As predicted, they were both fantastic. The blackberry, black mulberry & dark chocolate (translated from above) scoops with rammed with chunks of excellent, perfectly bitter chocolate that off-set the unique fruit flavours wonderfully. Not to be outdone, the coffee option was just as rich and flavoursome, and had a smooth, creamy texture.
While this was all somewhat expected, though not unappreciated, there was also a surprise in store for me in the form of a gelato milkshake. I was not aware of their existence until I stepped up to the counter and, once I was aware of them, I couldn’t in good conscience go without trying one. I opted for a strawberry variety blended with oat milk and thought I would dearly love to tell you that it was exceptional, sadly, it was not. It was eminently drinkable, but not much to write home about.
Beverage blues aside, it was another positive visit, and one I will no doubt repeat.
