I love this place! :)
Excellent coffee and amazing gelato. I was informed that their gelato are made with fresh (as opposed to powder in some places) and natural ingredients (e.g. vanilla beans rather than artificial extract) in-house and you can definitely taste the rich flavours. All the flavours are so good and it's too bad I only have room in my stomach for 2 flavours today.
I end up choosing black sesame and espresso. With the container on the table in front of me, I knew the gelato was going to taste great because I could already smell the aroma from both the black sesame and the espresso. Black sesame was rich tasting but the espresso was just out of this world amazing for me. Of course this has to be one of their top winners considered the quality coffee they're known for.
Manic is definitely my favourite spot for gelato whenever I'm in the area downtown. I hope one day they will branch out and bring some of that good stuff closer to my home in the Scarborough/Markham area.
I also learned that they are always working on new flavours so I can't wait to go back and try what they'll come up with next.
