🇮🇹 Almond Biscotti Gelato 🤎

Crunchy toasted almonds and housemade biscotti folded into our almond gelato.

It’s the perfect balance of rich, nutty, buttery, and just the right amount of crunch.

Available at both locations 📍

Our Guava Rose Creamsicle has been one of your favorite gelato flavors for years… so we had to turn it into a soft serve. 🌸 🍦

This week’s swirl:

✨ Guava sorbet on one side
✨ Rose milk on one side

Together, they create a tropical creamsicle with bright guava, delicate floral notes, and a smooth, creamy finish. It’s refreshing, nostalgic, and unlike anything else.

Available at the Montrose location 📍

Inspired by the classic Mexican 🇲🇽 ❤️ mangonada, our version combines ripe, seasonal mangoes with the sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors of chamoy and chile-lime seasoning for a refreshing sorbet that’s the perfect balance of tart, sweet and spicy. 🌶️ 🥭🍨

Texan Kulfi Gelato
Our award-winning signature flavor and a longtime customer favorite. We actually named it after one of our customers as Jimmy’s Texan Kulfi Gelato after Jimmy and special shout out to Kurchi Kurchi Basu

This East-meets-West creation starts with our special kulfi-inspired gelato base, with fragrant cardamom and Maker's Mark bourbon whisky then folded with our housemade buttery pecan pralines.

Many of our customers asked and we are bringing the nostalgia back ✨

If you know, you know.

This flavor will be on display this weekend.
Limited Batch.
