So I used to live in Italy and eat gelato there consantly (that's extra street-cred there, right?)
First things first: Havres-Aux-Glaces is *real* no-bullshit gelato, made right there from real ingredients every day. The pistachio flavor comes from *actual*pistachios* and the espresso flavor is made with *real*muthafuckin'*espresso*. You can't cheat and get gelato to taste this way...
But the reason to go weak-kneed for this place is only one: Cassis. The Cassis Sorbet they make is - and I don't think this is an exaggeration - THE SINGLE BEST THING ANY HUMAN BEING HAS EVER PREPARED IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. It's just phenomenal - tart and bitter and slippery and sharp and cassis-y and just unreal.
They're all great. But the Cassis is superhuman.
