Tryin to beat the heat, hubby took me to Avoca. The sign says "Chocolatier" but they also serve ice cream, gelato and hot chocolate. All are hand made without preservatives and additives, with gluten free and vegan options.
RATING FOR FROZEN DESSERTS ONLY:
Nice, helpful staff let us sample a number of items. Hubby wanted to be creative and make strawberry lemonade with a scoop of lemon and a scoop of strawberry gelato. The lemon was nice and tart but the strawberry was on the bland side, as if the strawberries weren't quite ripe yet. I got a scoop of coffee toffee ice cream and a scoop of vegan piña colada gelato. The coffee toffee had chunks of toffee in it YUM!
TIPS
- Sample before you buy!
- Don't be afraid to mix and match flavors. I tried a spoonful of my sweet piña colada with hubby's tart lemon and it was a perfect pairing: sweet and sour.
- Have a seat in their cute patio and relax to the sound of the bubbling water fountain.
