After the Red Mile Creamery closed, I was sad that there wasn't an ice cream shop nearby. But alas! Crepes & Cravings has opened up two doors down. I stopped in for some gelato during my long, hot walk down to the Stampede Grounds on Sunday. It's a good thing for me not many of you know about this spot yet, or at least you weren't in an icy cold treat mood on a blisteringly hot afternoon. I walked in with no line up to worry about.
Two freezers presented themselves, one with ice cream, one with gelato. After perusing the many flavours, I settled on the honey nougat with nuts (pecans? walnuts? I can't quite remember). Get your scoop on a cone or in a bowl, it'll be lovely either way I'm sure.
What I liked best was that all ice cream and gelato are made in-house. That's right folks, our very own little gelateria and creamery right on 17th. Which also happens to mean that there will always be new and yummy flavours churning out of this joint, at least according to the owner.
Now, time for a crepe!
