Love is Sweet and so is Gelato!!

It was the summer of 1976. I had rode my bicycle to the beach with a friend to enjoy the cool Mediterranean waters. When it was time to go home, we realized we had a flat tire, and called my cousin for help. He came to pick us up with a friend who had a car. That friend was Yalcin, a tall skinny guy with long wavy hair and green eyes...

We loaded the bike in the trunk, and I was buckling up in the backseat I noticed Yalcin was adjusting his rear-view-mirror, so he could have a better view of me :) The entire way home, I blushed and held my breath under his gaze, and that was the day we fell in love.

I can't even remember how many valentines days we have celebrated together since that day; but I can now say that love becomes all the more sweet in time, and as we see what our love has created:
Above all, our beautiful daughters who have each become such passionate, strong and loving woman...
And our small gelato shop which demands just as much love and hard-work as raising a child.

And with that love we have created these special flavors for Valentines:

Casanova - because it all starts with a little flirting,
Rose - because it is the symbol of valentines,
Dark Chocolate - For all the bitter sweet memories, and
Blackberry Merlot - A Northwest twist on romance, as we have an abundance of delicious berries and wines

Please come and celebrate Valentines with us :)

PARIS - ISTANBUL - IZMIR and back to SEATTLE

We are back and the shop is again open!

We had such a wonderful time during our vacation, but we also missed our little shop and our neighbors! The gelato machine is churning and we are mixing fresh flavors all day long! Come and have a scoop! We know you missed us, too!! :)))

Here are some photos from our trip - Hope you all enjoy it! (Click on photo below)

New Hours and New Flavors!

We even set our clocks back an hour... There is no denying it, cold winter days are here!!
But no worries... So are the winter flavors!!

Our legendary Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon and Pomegranate Sorbet are back! The Egnogg will make its first appearance this weekend!

And have you tried the Salty Peanut Crunch? It's already got its own group of fans :)

The other we were talking about what are our favorite winter treats. One of them obviously is Affogato - vanilla gelato dunked in two shots of espresso - who can say no to that? I've also tried it with mint gelato and hazelnut, and loved it!!

I was telling mom one of my favorite drinks is the "London Fog" (earlgrey latte with a dash of vanilla). I think i might have convinced her to make the gelato version! Yumm! Cannot wait to try it!

See you all at the shop! Also go to "Our Shop" tab to check out our Winter and Holiday hours!

Cheers!
