Bidra med feedbackThe Gelato was delicious and the dulce de leche latte was yummy.. I know gelato and a latte... I just had to have it. The factory seemed really cool and they have a nice hipster vibe and good relaxing music. Overall really cool experience!
I first came on opening weekend (but have been back several times since) and had read on Twitter about the overpriced tasting spoons. I thus decided the Sundae would be a better deal. I paid a little over $7 for the 'Fruity Pebbles ' which was one full scoop of vanilla gelato topped with candied citrus zest. It was still pricey for one scoop of gelato, but that one scoop looked to contain more than three tasting spoons, so I was happy enough with the value of my purchase. Plus, the actual product was delicious! I 'm not sure if I 've actually ever had Fruity Pebbles before. I 'm sure I was more of a Fruit Loops person, and if I say they tasted exactly like Fruity Pebbles I would assume that wouldn 't be a compliment. In any case, they tasted like what I imagine Fruity Pebbles would taste like, so they get brownie points for a good flavor title. If I lived in the area I probably wouldn 't frequent this spot that often because of the prices alone, but because my getting out to Union Market from VA doesn 't really happen that often, I 'll probably stop by on each of my visits to treat myself if I see any Sundae flavors that really pop out at me.
Very good espresso drinks and pastries. Nice atmosphere.
Go on the tour! Currently every Saturday and Sunday at 2:30, the tour is a cute thing to do that won't take a lot of time. And you get a free sample at the end. If you miss the tour no worries, you can still pretty much see everything from the public part, you just won't get the explanation. Otherwise it's just another Dolcezza (i.e. amazing) with a cool outdoor space and take home containers. Also keep an eye out for cool pop-up events that often feature custom made gelato.
I'm a big fan of Dolceeza and was super excited to see their factory/store location when I hit Union Market for the first time. I think they have the best gelato and sorbetto in the metro area. They source ingredients locally. Love the flavor combos like pineapple with hint of mint..so refreshing. They also have Stumptown coffee which is delish. Try the hair bender. How about an affagato...coffee over gelato! Cute decor with outdoor seating as well.
