black dog is a gourmet gelato shop located in a little corner store in ukrainian village - and cute as can be inside. it was created by jessica oloroso, who was formerly a pastry chef (and who is also just as adorable as her shop!)

as soon as you walk in the door, you're hit with a cooler filled with mounds of smooth and creamy gelato, and hand labeled notes of what's inside. i liked that everything in the shop is handwritten, especially the menus in large brightly painted antique frames (see above image!). i was told that i had to be adventurous. no 'plain vanilla or plain chocolate' this time! but i think it's impossible to be safe at black dog. every flavor is a little different, unexpected, and delicious. (free samples of any flavor you want to try!) after a couple samples....balsamic, lemon ginger.....i went for the mexican hot chocolate - rich chocolate flavor with a kick of pepper, and the goat cheese cashew carmel - really tasty!
