| - I was in the mood for something ice creamy today, but vegan options are limited in the N Scottsdale area. I was over in this area, so I decided to give The Gelato Spot a try.
Admittedly, I'm a bit of a food snob, so I tend to ignore gelato in the U.S., thinking, "Oh no. I only eat gelato whilst in Italy." *posh British voice* Well, shame on me! Thanks to the Gelato Wars, they had a Vegan Chocolate gelato with smoked almonds and caramel. It was so creamy/dreamy and delicious! I'm not a fan of nuts, but their presence in this flavor wasn't profound, so it didn't bother me.
They also had 6 fruity flavors, which were all vegan: mango, pineapple, banana, raspberry, strawberry, & lemon. I sampled the pineapple, and it was also very smooth, creamy, and delicious. I plan to get that one next time. It was very fresh too. No freezer burn 'round these parts!
I got a medium-sized cup and DD got a waffle cone. (I do not yet know if their cones are vegan-friendly. I'll update once I get confirmation on that.) My total was a $10 + change. I'll have to keep my eye open for the Groupon deals everyone's talking about.
My hope is that they keep the chocolate vegan gelato option, and/or expand their non-fruity vegan options.
Ample inside seating, including a cozy little area that's reminiscent of a living room. There are a handful of outside tables as well.
Located in the shopping area on the NE corner of Greenway & 40th, next door to Starbucks, & across the street from the QT/Sonic.
Yummy vegan gelato!
