Run, do not walk to Flying Cow Gelato!! Now open on 80th St in Downtown OP. Featuring rotating flavors of fresh made Gelato, as well as KC's own Annedore's Fine Chocolates. TLDR; Eat here.
Straciatella, was by far my favorite. The word has several meanings from cheese to soup, but the Gelato was better than I could have imagined. Thin layers of chocolate, various lengths and widths are laced throughout the ice cream. Who didn't love Vienna Ice Cream Cakes because of that?!
I rounded out my two selections with Pistachio and Dark Chocolate. I'm fortunate enough to have tasted pistachio Gelato meters from the Sicilian Pistachio trees they were picked from, so I was eager for a trip down a savory memory lane. It was good, glad I tried it. The color was unusual, but what we know of Pistachio coloring is probably fabricated anyways. I did wish it had pieces of Pistachio in it, but the flavor was there.
I mentioned Annedore's, this name reminds me of grade school, visiting the location on 41st St in Midtown for a treat after school (thanks Mom!). So I had to try the dark chocolate, it was rich. Decadent. I noticed I was eating it slower than the other two, but it was eaten in its entirety. They had a selection of candies, I noticed chocolate covered coffee beans, so I had to have.
The courtyard it shares with Strang Hall to the East, is prefect to grab a bench or chair and enjoy the evening breeze. It wasn't cheap, but comparable to any of the other small ice cream shops...

Read moreI’ve been waiting patiently for this location to open up!! I’ve loved Annedore’s gelato since its original location in Westwood, so naturally I was excited to have gelato closer to my house in OP.
The environment is adorable and fun. Their dark chocolate has to be one of the best flavors. I even got a pup cup for my dog and he was a fan! Highly...
