A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We checked out this place because I was craving an affogoto.
The barista was great. She gave us free samples upon eneterinf, and she understood English (and what an affogoto was). The flavor I ended up getting was a hazelnut gelato. Would come back here (and my stomach didn’t get upset after this).
After arriving at Old Town San Diego, we headed to this place for a caffeine boost.
This place had a really interesting coffee menu, with most of choices for lattes and mochas. I ended U.K. getting the iced hazelnut latte. Too be honest, I would get one of the mochas next time, but I still enjoyed the latte.
Great gelato place that I would definitely go back to.
As the name should imply, it is on Fillmore street in Japan town.
I got the hazelnut flavor, which was simply amazing and rich.
I asked the owner what the difference is between ice cream and gelato. Apparently there are 3 differences:
-gelato has less cream, therefore less calories
-the way gelato is churned, there is less air than ice cream , therefore it is more dense
-gelato is served at a higher temperature than ice cream, so when you eat it it is less cold, and you can taste more of the flavor
