It has no artificial colors and just pure and organic flavors. You also have a choice with their vegan options and some other unique flavors. A few of these are red wine sorbet, dark chocolates and carrots, and fresh eggs. FRESH EGGS? Yes exactly.

6) Banana and chocolate
Ha! Another chocolate combo! Ever tried a frozen banana on a stick at a fair? Well this got a very similar taste but in a form of gelato, which is creamier of course.
7) Tiramisu and Cream
There are gelato shops that have a “milk flavor”, this is basically just sweetened cream. Sweetened cream is great when it comes to pairing it with fruit or if you’re in a mood for something light and sweet. So this Tiramisu is similar to the real one that you’ll get. Considering real Tiramisu with layered cream on it, it’s a perfect duo.
8) White mint and blueberry
This combo gives a light and crispy mint flavor with bits of real blueberry that gives a sweet, fruity touch.
9) White Chocolate and Raspberry
More chocolate! 'Cause why not? This will definitely make you order a second cone. The white chocolate is rich; but the sweet raspberry kicks in making it perfectly balanced with that buttery white chocolate. Give it a try!
10) Carrots, dark chocolate with coffee
Strange to imagine but this one is another must try! The carrot is not to overpower but it keeps the dark chocolate on point. The sweetness of the coffee gets elevated when dark chocolate is added and with a twist of the subtle carrot flavor.
