Cremalosa is owner-operated by Meridith Ford, a local food writer who turned to gelato-making, using Italian technique to build flavors rooted in the Southern desserts she grew up on. Gelato is spun in small batches daily, with flavors that rotate through combinations like lemon mango sorbetto, Almond Joy, cappuccino chip, and mango lassi.
Beyond the scoop case, Cremalosa makes gelato cakes to order — three layers of butter or devil's food cake filled with a gelato flavor and finished with buttercream — along with coffee drinks and seasonal additions like hard Italian sodas.
Regulars point to the craft behind the gelato and the friendliness of the staff as much as the flavors themselves, and the shop's spot on Avondale Estates' town green has made it a easy stop for families and neighbors passing through.
