A coffee blend we bring directly from Europe, crafted for bold espresso drinks and affogatos. Paulo Numero Uno combines beans from Honduras, Brazil, and India ā creating a rich, full-bodied profile with depth and intensity.
Naturally occurring tasting notes of dried cranberry, roasted nuts, and dark chocolate give the blend a balanced sweetness, low acidity, and a long cocoa finish. The Brazilian beans bring smoothness and body, Honduras adds subtle fruitiness, while the Indian Robusta gives extra crema, structure, and that classic Italian-style espresso character.
Designed to shine both on its own and paired with gelato ā especially in our affogatos. Thick crema, bold flavor, and enough intensity to cut through cold gelato while still staying smooth and balanced. Available every day at our shop.

*PASSION FRUIT MOUSSE* Tropical, silky, and just the right amount of tangy. Passion Fruit Mousse gelato layers the brightness of real maracujĆ” with the softness of a classic mousse texture. A house favorite.

*STRAWBERRIES* 80% strawberries. Not flavoring, not concentrateāthe actual fruit. Compared to most strawberry gelatos and ice creams, which typically use significantly less fruit and rely on aromas or artificial enhancement, ours is built to taste like biting into fresh strawberries at peak season. The high fruit content gives it a naturally vibrant color, brighter acidity, softer texture, and an intensely fresh finish.
