Abbie’s Gelato is not your usual ice cream stop. This newly opened spot is all about small-batch, artisanal gelato made with 100% natural ingredients and bold, unexpected flavours. Yes, they serve fried gelato, and it’s every bit as fun and delicious as it sounds. But that’s just the beginning. From sweet-salty combinations like Dulce de Leche with potato chips to light and refreshing vegan sorbets made with papaya and melon, the flavours are playful yet well-balanced. One of the most interesting scoops here is the Yakult Blueberry Gelato, which combines a yoghurt base with slow-cooked blueberry jam and buttery biscuit crumbs.
