Black Dog Gelato.

For the past few months, Rob and I have noticed Black Dog Gelato’s name popping in a variety of places, from articles about Chicago restaurants to the Logan Square Farmer’s Market website.  When we heard that owner Jessica Oloroso planned on opening an actual store this summer, we knew we had to make a point to check it out.  Last weekend we stopped by and although they were out of the whiskey gelato bars we had read so much about and were really curious to try, we had a great experience.  Rob ordered a cup of the mixed berry sorbet which had the right balance of sweetness and was very refreshing.  Being the coffee enthusiast that I am, I tried a cup of the espresso gelato.  The coffee flavor was excellent and it was definitely among the best gelato I’ve ever had in Chicago.  If you’re in the mood for a cool treat before it gets too cold outside, be sure to stop by Black Dog Gelato for their traditional and adventurous (goat cheese cashew carmel gelato, anyone?) bold flavors.
