Cold Front Gelato
Cold Front Gelato is a locally owned, handcrafted gelato shop in downtown Nanaimo whose founders trained in Bologna, Italy to master traditional production methods. Each month they rotate new flavours built around Vancouver Island milk, cream, and locally sourced fruits, herbs, and artisan goods from named regional suppliers. Both classic dairy and fully dairy-free vegan gelato are available, along with milkshakes, affogato, and hot drinks, and pints can be taken to go.
