What better cure for hot Summer Nights than some ice~cold gelato? A stifling heat wave has permeated the air for the past few weeks like a chokehold that just won't let go, and blasting your fans on high just isn't going to cut it.
Having just finished dinner at Lupo with my girlfriend and walking out of the restaurant into a cloud of heat, we rounded the corner into Gelato Express and basically had the place to ourselves.
It's a store that has made the most of its cramped space, with framed artwork, a row of Minions Paraphernalia, and of course, the gelato taking center stage with a whopping 42 different flavors. Luckily, the server offered us two free samples each.
The more scoops you buy, the cheaper it is, but we were both pretty full after dinner, so we settled on one scoop each: Dark Chocolate and Moose Tracks {Vanilla, Peanut Butter Cups and Fudge}. Smooth and creamy, the gelato was refreshing and just the right amount of sweet.

Read moreDope late night Gelato! We stopped by for a dessert just before heading to the Lions game in a great location just minutes from the stadium and looks to be the best value for money in the area. We have been to the same chain at deep Cove which wasn't a bad experience so gave it a shot. To be honest, this wasn't my first option or preferred as they lack any vegan flavors and only have one dairy free which isn't just water-based sorbet which blows. However, I had the Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate with a Mint Chocolate Chip which was really yummy and a great combo. We also got a Kinder Bueno Charcoal Waffle Cone which is white Chocolate based and also super good. Support...
