| - G for Gelato + Espresso Bar has quickly become one of my favourite gelato and coffee bars in the city since it's opening back in 2011. Located at the corner of Jarvis and Adelaide, across the street from St. James Park, it is truly a neighbourhood gem serving by far some of the best gelato in the city!
G is a family run cafe which serves authentic Italian fare, including pizzas, panini's, various desserts, a wide array of coffee including espressos, americanos, lattes and cappucinos, and most importantly the gelato which is made in-house with natural ingredients.
What's unique about G is that not only do they offer all of the traditional gelato flavours including hazelnut, chocolate, strawberry etc., but they are not afraid to experiment with new flavours. Upon each visit, I have noticed new flavours being introduced including apple pie, chocolate coconut, peanut butter and jelly, pina colada, and even maple bacon. Although I haven't been brave enough to try the maple bacon flavour myself, as I am more into the sweet tasting hazelnut and coconut flavours, these guys really know their gelato and I wouldn't be surprised if it was on its way to becoming a classic flavour soon to be served and enjoyed by patriotic Canadians across the country ;)
Most recently I've noticed a contest they've been having which invites their customers to provide their ideas on what the next flavour of gelato should be. It is clear that G is passionate about what it does and truly appreciates its customers, and I don't doubt that's why this place is always so busy with both new and repeat clientele!
If ever in the St. Lawrence Market, I encourage you to visit G for Gelato + Espresso Bar, as there is something for coffee drinkers and gelato lovers alike! The cafe's open and bright space, along with the friendly faces are sure to draw you in, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
