Located on a Central Street in Highland Park is a contemporary gelato shop that gives ice cream a fresh, new twist.

As you walk into Frost Gelato, you immediately feel as though you’re in a frozen oasis.

The floors and walls are a sleek white with cool blue and silver accents. The restaurant has a simple layout, with a few tables scattered about. The focal point of the restaurant is the three display cases stocked with gelato.

Instead of displaying gelato in stark steel dishes, the innovative eatery adds cute accent items to their ice cream display. Each flavor has items included in the case that help tell a story about the flavor.

Passion fruit has assorted fruit rinds and flowers, whereas the peanut butter chocolate has Lindt chocolate truffles and full peanuts in it. These items aren’t served to eat, but they certainly add to the ambiance of this modern eatery.

As for the actual gelato, the flavors are astounding. Each one perfectly matches its name.

The raspberry tastes exactly like a fresh bowl of berries, and the dark chocolate is just like a bar of Swiss chocolate. The best way to discover the beauty of Frost would be to visit it yourself. According to the company, its most popular flavors are dark chocolate and sea salt caramel.

Frost boasts that their gelato is not only a fun frozen treat, it’s also healthier than traditional ice cream.

The company says ice cream usually has around 280 calories per serving whereas gelato has 132-180 calories per 3.5 ounce serving, and one fifth the fat of ice cream.

If gelato isn’t your style, Frost also offers other options, including sorbets, ice cream cakes, coffee, and a delicious, rich hot chocolate.
Although it may be a bit of a drive for some, Frost Gelato is definitely worth the trek.
