Creating New Flavors
It's easy to notice, by looking at our always changing gelato line-up, we like to keep things fresh and try new flavors! We like to challenge ourselves with new ideas, and surprise the taste buds of gelato enthusiasts!
It is the perfect season to experiment with cherries, as they are the focal point of any grocery store or farmers market. Heck, they are falling off the tree in my neighbors yard!
The tart flavor of cherries blend perfectly with our milky gelato base. Add the right amount of chocolate chips, and you have a dreamy summer creation!
"But, what do you name it?" asked mom... Hmmm, what do you name it?
"Should we keep it simple and call it cherry chocolate chip?" suggested Yagmur.
We decided to have fun with it, and asked the staff what they think. Some great ideas came up. Finally we decided on Anu's suggestion:
Cherry Jubilee! That sounds fun and summary!
So, come by and try some soon! It's tricky though; it seems to sell out as soon as we put it on the gelato case! It's a good thing we have 17 other delicious flavors to pick from :)

READY F0R SUMMER!!
This was a long and challenging winter even for the most seasoned Seattleite! Finally it's all behind us!
We spent the rainy months perfecting our new recipes like the dark "Dark Chocolate"and "Coffee Crunch". We also polished some of our traditional flavors like "Nutella", which recently received praise from Seattle Magazine! :)
As UW is completing the quarter with finals this week, and other schools in the neighborhood closing before the end of the month, we know things will get livelier at the shop. And! We are ready with our young staff all trained and excited to scoop! Scoop scoop scoop!! :)
We have also hired a little boy named Atlas (our 14 month old grandson) for quality control :) You will see him running around the shop with a cone in his hand... and Sevim running after him :)
See you all at the shop!

Summer is near!
Hello all!
We meant to post a blog prior to Mother's Day to congratulate all moms! But, things got really busy at the shop! So... Happy Belated Mother's Day!!
Here is a little fact about Mother's Day:
After her mother died, Anna Jarvis began a campaign that brought about the observance of Mother's Day. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed the order that made Mother's Day a national holiday.
Official Mother's Day flower? White carnations!
With warm sunshine peaking through the clouds here and there, it really feels like summer is near! We were having a bbq at my daughter's house the other weekend when I realized she was cutting mint from her garden for the salad! If the mint's here, summer's definitely near!! :)
Mojito is one of my favorite summer drinks! It's such a refreshing cocktail!! So we thought why not make it a gelato? We played with our delicious lime sorbetto recipe and added some fresh mint to it... and voila! No alcohol in this one, but it is just as good and even more refreshing than what you get at the bar!
Cheers!
