There are different types of cold treats: gelatos and more slushie like consistency frozen confections that are served in a cup. My vegan friend appreciated that he could choose from multiple vegan flavors, not just be limited to the one and only offering, which is what most places usually have. Melon flavor was incredible. Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.

My friends wanted to try the basque cheesecake, and I normally don't really like cheesecake, but this one was so yum. I think I might be starting to enjoy basque cheesecakes.

Nonetheless it was delicious, the snow was very soft, and the mangos were sooo juicy and sweet. I appreciated that they used real mangos.

There's a good bit of ginger flavor as there's even a bit of spice in the ice cream. In addition, they put a lot of candied ginger in as well so each bite you get to taste the flavors. Also, the portion sizes are significantly bigger than at other ice cream shops - I can get one scoop and not crave more ice cream which doesn't always happen as a self-proclaimed ice cream addict. Overall, I'm excited to try more flavors. They recently came out with corn which I think is so interesting!
