Refreshments - Washington

TL;DR: on the pricey side but the flavors are oh so good! Stopped by after an afternoon at the National Mall, this was a perfect post museum pick me up! I got the mojito sorbet (lime and fresh mint) and black tea gelato (milk tea) in a regular size and my friend got the coconut gelato and mango sorbet. All the flavors were excellent! Service was friendly and they were very happy to let us try a bunch of samples before we ordered. They have very few bar seats in the shop but we sat outside on the bench in the sun and it was absolutely perfect. Flavor review Mojito: deliciously refreshing with a wonderful fresh lime juice flavor and it even managed to retain that deliciousness that fresh mint has. Awesome on a warm day Black tea: this was like a milk tea flavor and had a really good amount of tea flavor in it without getting too milky. The ice cream also had that great sticky melt in your mouth texture that good gelato has so I was very happy Coconut: so good! Tasted exactly like delicious Thai coconuts and also wasn't too cloying Mango: this was excellent possibly one of the best mango sorbets I've tried. It tasted exactly like frozen mango and had that fabulous fragrance that mango has They have a lot of flavors so it was hard to pick but I'm intrigued by the saffron pistachio which sounds like something I'd get next time.

Mom and I were wandering the city looking for a sweet treat and came across Pitango. I've been meaning to try it, and just haven't yet. I'm so glad I finally did! I ordered a small, which comes with two scoops. It was really hard to decide which flavors, but I ended up choosing the dark chocolate, and the cinnamon. Both are amazing. The dark chocolate will cut any chocolate craving and the cinnamon was just so delicious- not overwhelming at all. I really enjoyed both. It was also nice that they let you sample (my cinnamon sample influenced my decision). Please note that it's insanely expensive. For two smalls, it cost over $17 without tip. I understand the quality of the ingredients is high, but damn. That's a bit much.

Not so good gelato Overhyped over priced I got bad Cortado Long lines but that is not the issue

Wow this was a fantastic treat we stumbled upon walking about town after dinner. I've never been a gelato fan but this has changed my mind. I ordered a half scoop of pistachio and half almond. They were both so creamy and delicious but the almond was my favorite.

We came across this little gem one evening in search for something sweet. It's a small little cafe that smelled a little like heaven when we entered. They had a wonderful menu of gelato with very unique flavors. Hubby opted for their gelato: turmeric ginger, mojito, and chocolate hazelnut. He loved it! I wish I wanted something cold but I needed something hot to warm me up. After asking the guy behind the counter what exactly sipping chocolate was and given a sample I chose this. Omg. Heaven in a cup.
