Vaniglia Ice Cream
Regardless of where you are, it is time for ice cream somewhere. I am not beyond starting my day with a scoop and it is the perfect night cap to a long day. Fortunately, Israel is loaded with some excellent creamery options to wash down that delicious lunch, dinner, or even breakfast. Israel also uses a higher percentage of cream/fat when making gelato and ice cream, offering a richer taste. But, do not fret, all of the portions are significantly smaller than back in the old country.
I will focus on some ice cream establishments that have locations throughout Israel and offer pareve and Dairy options for the meat eaters that are not Dutch, following along at home.
Vaniglia, located in at First Station, is loaded with fresh and unique flavors. A gelato bar meets a sorbet shop meets ice cream, Vaniglia does not disappoint. The accommodations are tight, and the flow is weird. Looping around the location is a challenge since the point of sale is by the entry door and the ice cream bar is straight back. The light fixtures are made of tasting spoons, which is very neat. I hope they are not used! The flavors are good and the prices are the best in town. But, the options are more focused for the fruit infused enthusiasts or nut-loving eater.
