Honestly, this is some of the best gelato + matcha drinks I’ve had, periodt. In this heat, they’re a serious must. Minje and I ended up trying two cones and two drinks and…and wow, we were pretty blown away, lol.
If you’re building a full Bethesda food day, Sense of Thai at Westbard Square is a new restaurant nearby and makes a great dinner stop, with a southern Thai menu and a lunch special that keeps it easy on the wallet.
Mascarpone & Berries + Roasted Strawberry (cone) – Both were delicious, but Roasted Strawberry was UNREAL – think deep berry flavor with that creamy, luxe finish. So, so good.
Mango Sorbet – perfect if you’re in the mood for something light and fruity: next level, bright, and super refreshing.
Iced Matcha – ideal for matcha purists. Smooth, balanced, not bitter.
Strawberry Matcha – this was a banger. Macerated Virginia strawberries + your milk of choice + matcha. As it blends: juicy berry sweetness meets matcha’s velvety, slightly bitter notes. Absolute Perfection.
