Gelato Gal, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Coffee, Cappuccinos, Lattes, Mochas, Chai Lattes, Hot Chocolate, Review, Delaware Beaches
This is how the word of mouth started. First Cindi called me from West Ocean City to let me know that someone that came to do work at her house had a client who had a daughter. This daughter went to Italy to learn the whole process of gelato making. She opened Gelato Gal in Rehoboth Beach and the other people she had told to had gone 3 times in one week.
Of course I had to check it out. Just like when I was told about Annie’s Banannies also in Rehoboth. I really do love ice cream, but try not to eat it too much. You know how it is.
Anyway, gelato is not ice cream; it is a European style ice cream that has very little air whipped into it. It is made from a lower butterfat cream than almost all super premium ice creams.
Gelato Gal is located on 20200 Costal Highway. Telephone 302-227-1001. Check out the website www.gelatogal.com because you will find out the “gelato’s story”. Also in order to get your “Six-Pack” of free tastings you need to follow directions. Gelato Gal is serving gelato, coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, mochas, chai lattes and hot chocolate 7 days a week from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. Plenty of parking available.
I met Gelato Gal. Her name is Amanda Randall. After tasting gelatos in different cities she decided to perfect the process. She learned from the best in Italy and just opened in June, here in Rehoboth Beach.
Well, how lucky I was that day. It was so hot that I welcomed the 11 tastings I got. Yes, can you believe? Heaven on a spoon, just like Amanda advertises.
Amanda experiments with different flavors. At this time of the year fresh fruit gelato is fantastic. Of those 11 I really liked the After 5 Gelato. This particular one had whiskey in it. I did not know how I would like it but I certainly did a lot. The Chocolate Hazelnut was delicious, as well. The Smith Island Cake Gelato was excellent and by the way, Smith Island Cakes are sold at Gelato Gal.
If you like chocolate the plain chocolate was very good. The pineapple was perfect on that steamy day.
In her freezer you will find gelato pops, as well as gelato cakes; perfect for those unexpected guests this summer.
I decided to buy 3 of them and just have my own tasting at home. Chocolate, Pineapple and Blueberry were my choices. Of those 3 I liked the pineapple the best, but the chocolate was a good second and then the blueberry.
I am so glad I went because it is great to see new places opening up in our area. I wish Amanda the best and I will definitely be back. Good luck!!
Talk to you later…
