Description

Hidden in a nondescript strip center off Memorial, Gelato Blu serves up more than just gelato. They offer a full espresso bar, including flavored lattes, frappes and even chai.

And to get the full Gelato Blu Experience, ask for yours affogato, which means drowned in espresso.

    Although it comes in small or medium, it's hard to imagine eating anything but a large ($4.95) "Michelangelo" at Gelato Blu (5710 Memorial, 713-880-5900). An Italian gelato we'd never tried before, it consists of ricotta cheese mixed with fig past... More »
