You asked, we delivered! 🥑🍦
For a limited time, our fan-favorite PALTA (Avocado) flavor is back exclusively at our Evanston location! Made with real avocados, it is pure, creamy perfection.
Fun fact: Why do Argentinians call it palta instead of aguacate? It all goes back to the Inca Empire! The word comes from Quechua, the language of the Incas, who first discovered the fruit in the Palta region of Ecuador. As the empire expanded south, the name traveled with them, eventually sticking in Argentina and neighboring countries.
Catch it before it’s gone—available ONLY in Evanston until the end of this month, or while supplies last (and it won't last long!).
P.S. Our Wilmette family, don't worry. You can still grab our delicious Banana gelato! 🍌

Switch the Monday blues for a FRÍO Gelato Celeste cup! Did you know that we picked that shade of blue because it’s the same as the Argentinian flag? 🇦🇷 Our flavors are inspired by our roots in that country. We hope you enjoy them as well! ☀️
