Care to try a New Dessert Cafe?

Hubby and I were on our way home after a filling dinner when we saw this

We were a couple of steps past the storefront when we did an about face almost in sync.

Gelatissimo is an Australian gelato company that boasts of offering a real taste of Italia.

I do love gelato and often times prefer it to ice cream because it offers more intense flavors. And because gelato is served at a slightly warmer temperature, i get to appreciate a creamy mouthful without the fear brain freeze.

As it was the soft opening of Gelatissimo, only half of the display freezer was filled with wonderfully colored gelato

but that was of course enough to make me drool

They happily gave us free scoops of the gelato flavors that we wanted to try and after tasting a couple of flavors, I ended up buying a cup…my usual
Lime Gelato

After getting our small cups of our favorite flavors, we explored the gelato café and found an interesting spot at the back!

Cool love seat don’t you think?! If only it wasn’t directly beside the bathroom door… *snicker* …lets remember they’re on their soft opening so this probably was not meant to be here (i hope)!

You can order your gelato in a cone or cup. I would have gotten a cone but I realized that it could be a little challenging to eat Gelatissimo on a cone with their a generous scoop.

You can get your gelato in 3 sizes.

Don’t be fooled with the term “small cup” because two people can actually share it with gelato packed to tower past the cups rim.

Hubby’s Cream Caramel Gelato

Although I must confess, I did finish one cup all by myself but that shouldn’t be a surprise to my friends by now!! I do hope they will maintain their generous serving even when normal operations start!

Next time I think I’d like to try this interesting dessert…

Has any of you ever tried affogato before?

Oh I can’t wait till our next visit to Gelatissimo!
