Gelati Celesti

Today I am going to be reviewing another ice cream place, this one is called Gelati Celesti. Gelati Celesti is a gelato shop in Richmond, Virginia. With 3 retail stores around Richmond and a few other locations you can find and enjoy Gelati Celesti a lot of different times. The retail locations are in Bon Air, West End and in Short Pump. You can also find it at Chitterchats and Boyers.  They also have a food truck that goes to events. I saw them at Dominion Riverrock one time.

Gelati Celesti is a great place to go when looking for a variety of flavors. They have 23 different flavors that are available daily but also have daily flavor specials that you can choose from. No matter what you are bound to find something you are interested in.

My personal favorites are: Oreo, Chocolate Decadence, Coffee and Cream, Just Ask, Espresso Oreo.
Oreo tastes exactly like Oreo cookies but in an ice cream form. Chocolate Decadence is "Chocolate Decadence is the darkest, richest chocolate ice cream on the market"- Gelati Celesti Website. Just Ask is White Chocolate ice cream with Peanut butter and Oreos. 

All of the flavors are delicious! I definitely recommend trying some of this ice cream.

I give it a 5 out of 5 stars!

The Patio-Lakeside Ohio

Today I am going to be reviewing a restaurant in Lakeside, Marblehead, Ohio. I am mainly going to be reviewing one specific thing from the Patio, their doughnuts. The Patio is probably most famous for their doughnuts that families get on a daily basis while on vacation on Lake Erie.

The Patio is located in a Chautauqua Community on Lake Erie in Marblehead, Ohio which is also very close to Sandusky, Ohio. I personally have been going to this gated, safe community for 14-15 summers now and am going to continue going until I can't anymore. I have had many Patio doughnuts and can confidently say they are one of my highlights of going to Lakeside Ohio.

Some pros of these delicious breakfast treats are there price... Summer 2015 they were 0.95 each or $5 for 1/2 a dozen (6 doughnuts) or $8 for a dozen (12 doughnuts). Another pro is there flavors of doughnuts. If you are a coconut lover, you're set. If you are a chocolate or vanilla lover, you are set, even cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar. My personal favorites are the chocolate sprinkle and powdered sugar. My last but not final pro about Patio doughnuts is your timing... if you get there at the right time you may get a warm doughnut... (they are so good warm)

The Patio isn't just a place to stop and get a doughnut its also a place to get a more substantial breakfast. Also at night its a spot to get Toft's ice cream. Yummy!

There is a song by Chip Richter called "Patio Doughnuts" which is obviously all about Patio doughnuts. Chip Richter is the music entertainment at God Squad (children's church) in Lakeside Ohio during the Summer. I personally own every single one of his CDs and still go to God Squad even though I am to old... "Its a P-A-T-I-O, patio doughnuts" (lyrics from the song).

I give the Patio a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
