Praise be my ability to spot a gelato/ice cream joint from a drive by.
After running my errand in Fountain Hills I made my way back and am happy I did so. Yes its set back in the ever present strip mall but I'm saving one of the best features for last. You walk in the front door and theres a fun funky nook to wash up in..yes I said a sink in a nok but not like any other you've seen. Think...art show.
So I made my way to the counter...one side has all the chocolate goodness you could ever want, the other side the fruity delights of an orchard. YummY mango but in the end the chocolate reaspberry just called to me a little louder.
Chocolate raspberry and creamy...definitely. Rich in taste, full of flavor without the sugariness of some spots...happily yes.
Its a bit pricey but a smaller size is still soo filling.
The best feature after the gelato...saunter out the back entrance onto the patio facing the lake, the fountain and the park. No parking lot, no traffic, just children and people and the lake. The patio has umbrellas, cut cafe sets as well as patio sets and sculptures of children that actually decorate both the streetside and lakeside of the strip.
