I always wandered by the cute little Rollin' Gelato van on the Food-truck friday events in Bronson Park and always noticed the gelato but never took the time to get any. After taking the time, I really regret having not gone sooner.
They have several flavors of sorbet & gelato, fruity or chocolatey. Anything from Strawberry Hibiscus to classic chocolate. The lady who runs the stop is very friendly and can also give samples from their cups!
She explained that their gelato is hand made, and even the blueberries in it were fresh and hand-picked (She even warned me that there there is a chance a bit of stem might be stuck to a blueberry, but mine was perfect as the way it was).
I tried the Blueberry-Lemon Green-tea Gelato.
The lemon gelato was pleasantly sweet, creamy, and refreshing. The delicate touch of green-tea added depth and harmony between the sweet and tart lemon and flavorful blueberries. The flavors seem very strategically balanced while using a blend of the unique mixed with the familiar. In summary, it was delicious.
The prices were also incredibly fair, and each order is about the size of 1 cup (although I think it's a better deal if you get 2 cups), but especially when out at a hot summer's day event, a small cup of gelato is the perfect accompaniment to go with a meal from a foodtruck.
In addition, when I tried tipping the lady - she refused and returned my money with a short expression of their business's creed to their customers! Even though it was a small gelato place from a truck, I was truly impressed by everything this little business embodied from their commitment to fresh ingredients, the friendly service, and even the undying dedication to the craft. I highly recommend giving the Rollin' Gelato a try if you ever see it come your way. read more
