I saw that this was in walking distance from my home, so we decided to take the walk for some ice cream. After viewing their socials, we decided that it was a good place to enjoy a cool treat on a hot day. They didn't disappoint. First, it's gelato, which is a bit different. My nephew wasn't enthused. He really wanted another type of icee. Me and my sister instead got a cone with cookies and cream, and i opted for the double chocolate and vanilla. The flavors were amazing! It was so rich and it didn't melt right away which was cool. The chocolate tasted just like a brownie. It was perfect, and the vanilla was a nice way to offset all that chocolate. The small cup comes with 2 scoops i believe. My sister enjoyed her cone as well. I will return to this spot. I enjoyed it. The service was cool. The customer service was brief as it was getting crowded. So we got out the way of others and went on to enjoy our day. Pics below.

As I'm really in that part of Brooklyn, I decided to get the medium size, which is up to two flavors, and it was $7.95 plus tax. My flavors of choice were the saffron and the pistachio, as it has been a while since I have had that combination. In general, the gelato is of good quality, being soft but not too much, and it wasn't overly sweet. The pistachio on top was good with some pieces inside for a bit of crunch, though I would say in terms of other fancy gelatos, it's a bit worse than Venchi, as the pistachio flavor isn't as strong. The saffron was the better of the two, being floral enough without being overbearing. Not much else to say here, as I only had those flavors, but I hope they do well.

The olive focaccia in particular was excellent: crispy on the outside, soft and airy inside, and packed with flavor. They also rotate other flavored foccacias that come out closer to lunch, which honestly gives you a reason to come back later in the day. The almond croissant was solid too, flaky and well-balanced without being overly sweet. They also sell giant chocolate chip cookies the size of your face- cool for the wow factor, and it's a 3.5/5 for flavor and texture- I wouldn't get again. The "raisin croissant" was a letdown. It's really more like soft swirled bread than an actual croissant, so adjust expectations accordingly. They also have a raspberry-filled croissant if you like filled breads. Seating inside is very limited- basically just a tiny high-top situation. Warning, it gets pretty busy on weekend mornings (line crawls down the block sometimes!).

The representative gave enough icecream that there was still icecream when I reached the bottom tip of the cone! I know it's ice cream and it's expected - but for some reason I did find their icecream overwhelmingly sweet. Again, this might be me and aging , and me personally starting to prefer things (including ice cream) to not be too sweet. I originally walked in thinking of getting the oh captain flavor but thank goodness I was able to try it out as a sample first and realized I didn't like it so feel free to ask for samples! Service here was super quick - but then again, we're here during winter so there were plenty of seating with just two people enjoying ice cream inside.
