Ingonish Gelato by Groovy Goat Farm Co.
Overview
Our handmade artisan gelato is made primarily with cows’ milk, but we typically have some goat milk varieties available for more adventurous taste buds! We also make delicious dairy-free sorbets and have gluten-free options as well.
One of the grooviest things about gelato is that you actually get a stronger flavor simply based on HOW it’s made. The technique that is used to create gelato puts less air into the finished product and results in a silky, dense, packed-with-flavour delicious treat! You can watch the entire process unfold through our production viewing window.
The flavours in our display case are always changing, based on what ingredients are fresh and in-season. Even our waffle cones and bubble waffle cones are made daily from scratch to ensure freshness. If gelato is not your thing, we can mix you up a refreshing Italian soda or a nitro coffee!
