| - Below is my review for my recent trip. Coming to post it, I read that Desy will be leaving the business. I'm sure this won't be the AoF fiasco -- she'll be working with the new owners, but still, it was her creativity that made the place. Very sad news if true.
I look forward to venturing out to where Desy casts her cream and milk magic. We made several stops at Gelatology. My highlight, I got to try the coffee-cake with caramel. When I saw her post this as a flavor, I started drooling, but that was a week before my arrival. What chance was there that it would be offered again during my stay? I got lucky. She doesn't seem to do as many of the exotic savory flavors as she once did (steak and eggs, for example), and some flavors seem to make more regular appearances (green tea or ube, for example). I assume this is a natural evolution, and she's honing in on people's loves. The green tea does work brilliantly. The green tea and Oreo is one of my favorite flavors she's ever done, and on this trip I got to try the green tea and Kit Kat which also worked marvelously. My friend believes that the consistency has improved since our last visit, with a smoother and creamier texture (this friend has declared the gelato to be perfection). I think it also might be a bit sweeter (which I like). In any case, it's still the best gelato or ice cream I've ever had (and I keep having), and I keep trying places all over the world as I travel (Ample Hills in NYC and Humphrey Slocomb in SF are runner-ups). I'll give you one warning: we arrived late on Sunday and half the flavors were gone. This is handcrafted gelato, it doesn't come in a giant 5-gallon containers dropped off by a truck. So be careful if you arrive late.
