WHAT IS GELATO?

AN INDULGENCE IN FLAVOR!

Rediscover the passion for dessert with Gelato – a creamy and delectable frozen confection affectionately known as “Italian Ice Cream.” From generation to generation, artisans have passed down their recipes for this culinary treat once enjoyed only by 16th century Italian royalty. Today over 20,000 gelaterias can be found in Italy to satisfy any discriminating sweet tooth.

PREPARED FRESH ONSITE

At Cedar Street Bridge Cafe? expect nothing but the best.  Our delightful gelato is prepared fresh on site.  The unique display case keeps the pans at a constant temperature to maintain proper semi-frozen consistency.

THE DIFFERENCE

Unlike ice cream, a fine gelato has a dense, creamier texture containing much less air.  Ice cream can consist of 60% air by volume compared to 20% in gelato which results in a far superior taste. Gelato is a healthy choice with less fat content and calories from the heavy creams and buttermilk found in ice cream. Cream and buttermilk also tend to coat the tongue and taste buds robbing the full sensation of taste. Gelato allows the consumer to revel in GUILTLESS PLEASURE.

ENJOY A PASSEGGIATA (STROLL) AND A GELATO

How about coffee and dessert? Gelato is fast becoming the preferred choice to serve with a cup of hot coffee or espresso. A complimentary combination lending to superb taste!   So come in after a day of being out and about or after a meal, as is traditional in many European homes, and enjoy the warm welcome of Cedar Street Bridge Cafe.
