Stolen Church Gelato & Coffee

It's the last place open in town. Thank goodness Gerry's Gelati stays open later than any other place in Radium Hot Springs. I rolled into town from the west on a Saturday night thinking I could get some food because it was before 10 p.m., but stupid me -- I didn't realize the time zone had change somewhere back in the Kootenays. All the restaurants I wanted to try were closed, so I stomped down to the local liquor store to buy a bottle of beer to wash down my left-over lunch sandwich with. Then I noticed a girl behind the counter at Gerry's, at the ungodly (for this burg, at least) hour of 10:30 p.m. At least I could score some sweets with my beer. And the gelato was OK. The tiramisu scoop was a bit airy in texture, and not intensely flavoured. The cappucino scoop was had a POW! of coffee taste, though, with just a little bitter edge to it to bring out the espresso vibe on my tongue. It was one of the more intense-tasting coffee ice creams I've had, and I've eaten plenty. Good onya for taste and timing, Gerry.

P.S. If you've got kids, Gerry's also has an elaborate miniature golf course attached to it. Make 'em eat the ice cream after golfing, though, so the little buggers don't get the club handles all sticky.
