We headed downtown for a leisurely stroll to English Bay when the calls for gelato brought us here. A quick history lesson mentions that this was one of the initial gelato ensembles in town, dating back to the 1980s. We went in and were quickly greeted by a rather cheery young chap festering over the cold stuff while we decided on flavours, about a dozen and a half choices with the usual favourites on hand. Of course, the gf and I shared a scoop of bilberry and coconut, while our friends chose double scoops of mango and pistachio.
The texture was unlike typical gelato, it lacked the overtly rich, silky creaminess tones, yet it didn't resemble ice cream texture either. The bilberry was tasty and smooth and was more akin to gelato than our coconut scoop, which was almost like a sorbet consistency. I wasn't certain but it tasted like they don't use additional sweeteners and I liked the little coconut bits in our coconut scoop. At any rate, our 2 scoops (really 3 scoops as the lad piled it on) broke the bank at $3.50 taxes in, same price for a waffle cone so it's pretty incredible value.
I'm thinking I want to come back and try the other flavours to see if the prices are really too good to be true. Mum's gelato recipe has me baffled..
