Frost, a Gelato Shoppe

Although gelato is not technically ice cream, Frost's version of the cool treat takes the cake once again. While some of the silky, intense flavors have fun, Italian names like gianduia (chocolate with hazelnut) and stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate shavings), there are also traditional flavors like peanut-butter crunch and mint chocolate chip. But gelato is more than just some yummy, cold snack; it's an art form. Linger around, and admire the beautiful displays of gelato laced with spun sugar, chocolate, flowers and fresh fruit. And don't forget that Frost also offers a variety of refreshing and fruity sorbets, as well as cakes, coffee drinks and Frostbites (gelato balls dipped in chocolate). Whichever form or flavor you choose, Frost's gelato is the perfect antidote to the heat.
