Boho Gelato is Kensington Market's newest gelato spot

almost 3 years ago

Boho Gelato is hoping to become your newest go-to spot for creamy and cold treats this summer with their natural and premium artisanal gelato, homemade with local products.

On top of offerings are the classics––they are always experimenting to create new and unique flavours. They love getting customer feedback, ideas and suggestions about their gelato combinations, so don't be shy, have a few extra scoops and become a gelato connoisseur for the day.

Boho Gelato offers their creamy scoops to a variety of palates and dietary restrictions. For instance, they have numerous vegan options that are just as creamy and delicious as regular gelato. Some of their unique vegan flavours include Rosé and Processo. In terms of their classically-made gelatos, they have gelato nuts, which are locally roasted and grounded in a rock grinder to intensify the nutty flavour. Fruit lovers can rejoice as well, because their three newest flavours are Raspberry Kiwi, Coconut Pineapple Papaya, and Grapefruit mint.

Boho in the business name is a shortened version of the term 'Bohemian', which means "unconventional in an artistic way." This phrase encapsulates the spirit of Boho Gelato as well as the unique personalities that enter Kensignton Market on a daily basis. Additionally, within their store, they create unconventional gelato flavours using an inventive variety of ingredients and colours.

The owner was introduced to the love and passion behind gelato through an Italian friend who has had 50 years of experience in the gelato industry. This introduction began when they attended one of the largest gelato fairs in Italy. Shortly after, the owner began training in Italy for several months and decided to start a gelato business. The business was successful for six years until the owner and family immigrated to Canada. But the owner's love for gelato did not fade, and the gelato business was once again rebooted, but this time, in the heart of Kensington Market.

In the following weeks, Boho Gelato intends on introducing gelato cakes for birthdays and celebrations. Otherwise, their ultimate plan includes enhancing customer experiences by generating strong connections with those who enter the store and taste their delicious gelato!

Boho Gelato is located at 160 Baldwin Street in Kensington Market and is open Tuesday to Sunday.
