The brain freeze customers get at Natalie Nguyen?s spotless gelato shop is from the natural and organic ingredients in the frozen treats. The 50 gelatos change daily and feature flavors categorized as being from either the Eastern or Western hemisphere. The Western raspberry is made with real raspberry, not a concentrated, over-processed raspberry-flavored goop. The same goes for the Eastern-style dragon fruit, ginger-goji berry and red bean options. For the adventurous, Nguyen offers durian gelato. Frozen yogurts can be mixed with high-quality nuts, fruits and spices, and the smoothies, like the namesake Natsumi (coconut, mango, papaya and pineapple) are refreshing blends of sorbet, frozen yogurt, fruits and fruit juices. Customers who prefer unfrozen items can order green teas imported from Japan and coffee with a pistachio undertone.

    There's a scene from 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in which Charlie and company taste Wonka's new lickable wallpaper while he boasts, "Lick an orange, it tastes like an orange. Lick a pineapple, it tastes like a pineapple. Go ahead, try it!" Ol' Willy Wonka was onto something—not the lickable wallpaper necessarily, but the idea that treats should actually taste like the flavors used to describe them. Enter the mod blue and white frozen treatery of Natalie Nguyen, Henderson's newly beloved Natsumi. Pick a flavor of gelato—we suggest the greens: green tea, avocado or pistachio (flavors vary daily). What you'll taste is the sublime almost-chocolate green tea flavor, a smooth hint of the green fatty fruit or that distinct, unmistakable nutty essence. These dead-on flavors are assuredly a result of Nguyen's use of organic dairy and sugar...and her use of authentic fruits, nuts and spices. The real deal, people. Using actual food instead of artificial flavors might not scream innovation, but it makes for gelato so good it's not only brain-freezing, it's mind-blowing. We all scream for Natsumi.
