A Big ‘Ole Peanut Butter Pint Gelato A payday for peanut farmers! Maximum peanut butter density achieved with a salted creamy peanut butter base, a rippled peanut butter swirl, and chopped chocolate peanut butter cups. It’s good. Almond Bliss Sorbetto A dairy-free almond butter sorbetto. Apple Caramel Mascarpone Pecan Gelato Apple Cider and Donuts Gelato Crisp Maine Apple Cider paired with cinnamon-sugar donuts - a fall favorite! Cake Batter Gelato After all, every day is *someone's* birthday. Caramel Sea Salt Gelato The classic, perfected. Seaswept buttery caramel; so smooth. Cookie Therapy Gelato Cream-filled chocolate cookies folded into cold, frothy milk. An after-school snack taken to a whole new level. Dark Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Gelato Rich, dark chocolate with sea-swept caramel. A decadent treat. Dark Chocolate Noir Sorbetto "Truly dense, dark, OH-my-CHOCOLATE." - Sally Double Caramel & Cookies Gelato Twice the caramel is twice as nice. Smooth caramel gelato with an extra caramel swirl and double-chocolate cookies. Doughing Me, Doughing You Gelato Always be about add-ins! It's a fresh cream gelato with chunks of peanut butter cookie dough, chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie dough bits, along with chocolate bar pieces. Espresso Chip Gelato Hand-pulled organic espresso with thick slivers of Ghirardelli chocolate. Fresh Cream Gelato Fior di Latte. House Chocolate Gelato The standard chocolate. Dense, dark and rich. It may be plain... but uncommonly good. Madagascar Vanilla Bean Gelato We get vanilla beans from Madagascar. This is real vanilla. Maine Wild Blueberry Crisp Gelato Vanilla, blueberries from Maine’s coast, and original oat streusel. Mascarpone Pistachio Caramel Gelato A customer suggestion that hit big time, this gem was inspired by the seductive, creamy filling found in Sicilian cannoli. Mint Chocolate Chunk Gelato Our take on the classic ice cream stand favorite, but far more dense, perfectly nuanced, and without any artificial colors or flavors. Netflix and Chill Gelato We opened The Notebook of flavor ideas and after searching for the longest time, settled on this Friday night delight: It features a stream of caramel buffered with a pillow of peanut butter cups and a blanket of brownie bites. If you're lucky, you'll find some kisses, too. Pumpkin Pie Gelato Josh's grandmother's pumpkin pie recipe, just frozen. Pure Lemon Sorbetto Cleanse your palate. Raspberry Truffle Sorbetto A smooth raspberry sorbetto with chocolate truffles. Ripe Mango Sorbetto Fruit-speak for delicious. Special Hazelnut Gelato Not just hazelnuts, but Italian hazelnuts. Strawberry Balsamic Sorbetto Sweet, field-ripe strawberries popped with a touch of balsamic vinegar. Sweet Resurgam Gelato Our award-winning flavor celebrating Portland, Maine. Roasted almond, burnt sugar, chocolate chips, caramel. Toasted Coconut Gelato Taste the tropics with toasted flakes of coconut blended into sweet coconut gelato. Torched Marshmallow S’more Gelato A campfire classic: Graham cracker gelato accented with chunks of chocolate and homemade toasted marshmallows.
