Here at this gelato shop, I cried happy tears. Sitting in mid June on a yellow chair eating hazelnut and chocolate gelato.
I believe that it is part of the human experience that every once in awhile our lives catch us off guard and we are hit with a sense of overwhelm. Not an overwhelm in a bad way, but rather an overwhelming sense of the gravity of the choices we have made to bring to where we are. It is a comforting sense of overwhelm, that lets us know that because every choice we have made brought us here, that change is not so bad.
I am a senior is high school, and over the past year I have felt this overwhelm a lot. Life seems to have surprised me with its speed, it unrelenting and beautiful ability to change everything, and at the same time change nothing. But it was here at this gelato shop following a tour at Hamilton College that I felt this speed the most intensely I ever have. There was something in the rich gelato, in the softness of the evening air, in my love of the college up the hill that let me know I was changed, and I will continue to change.

I'm confident we'll continue to visit frequently, and I have no doubt we'll continue to get great service and...
Read moreThe Cremeria did an amazing job with gelato for our wedding at Dibbles. When we went to our Dibbles tasting, we thought we were just going to try the gelato and then go on our way. But once we tasted it, we knew we had to have it for our wedding. The Cremeria did a great job setting up our wedding and coordinating with Dibbles. They were helpful via email throughout the planning process. The only thing we regret is not going up sooner to get the gelato at our reception as one of the flavors was gone when we went up. We were happy to have leftovers sent home with us at the end of the reception! Thank...
