When we arrived, the place was empty. The owner was a super friendly and chatty Italian who said he came to Canada when he was very little. All the gelato are made homemade and he allows to try samples of the ones you’re interested in.
$4 for 1 scoop, though it’s actually two small scoops, and $7 for 2 scoops. 1 scoop was plenty! You have a choice of cone or cup – both the same price. I had the espresso chocolate flake in a cup and my friend had Vanilla salted caramel in a cone.
We sat outside on the patio while a father with 2 kids dropped by, then a mother with his son came by. So not busy, but there seems to be a few customers here and there.
As we chatted away, we noticed the next door was a salon shop. The sign said they did ‘feather hair extensions’ and wondered what those were. We were surprised to see the man from the gelato shop go into the closed salon. We then asked if he also owned the salon and started chatting about feather hair extensions.
The gelato doesn’t have a huge selection, but while you’re there, you do feel a sense of community and down-to-earthness, despite not having that many customers. It’s open till 9pm which is incredibly late considering it’s not in downtown, and there aren’t that many traffic in the area.
