GROM has finally opened! I have been waiting for this moment! For too long, I've walked by the "GROM Coming Soon" sign in the IFC mall. This past week, I was walking around the IFC AND IT WAS OPENED. Ever since I visited GROM in New York, I have been a fan!
I came back on a Saturday around 7PM and the line was too long. As excited as I was, I did not feel like standing in line at the moment. Turns out, I made a good decision! I came back at 9PM after dinner and the line consisted of about 5 people! Great!
You pay first at the register then you head to the gelato line. The flavors were very limited (6 flavors). I hope it is because they just opened.
I ordered a mini Gianduja gelato ($35). Wow! Just as good as I remembered. Gianduja tasted like a better quality Nutella. The chocolate had a great cocoa flavor and the hazelnut flavor came across really well. It was perfect!
My only complaint is that they did not fill my cup up. Im not sure if this is because they gave it to me in a small cup, and not a mini cup, but I was watching and it seemed like they barely filled everyone's cup up. With the price of a small being $59, that's about $7 US! Kind of crazy. I wouldn't mind the price if they filled the cup up more!
Since GROM just opened, I will definitely revisit GROM to see if they made any changes. Excellent gelato! read more
