Nevermind the Bollocks Here’s the Dojo Gelato

Advert.

 

Hass Avocado Sherbet

Avocado Sherbet is here. Fresh Hass Avocados with a dash of lime and a kiss of milk. Deceptively sublime.

Movin’ on up.

41 months later and we just mailed our final payment to the Ford Motor Company for Dojo’s delivery and special events van, “Nice Dreams.”

Much appreciation for former CEO of Findlay Market Bob Pickford, and former Over-the-Rhine Chamber of Commerce President Brian Tiffany for the opportunity in 2009 to apply for the Business First Grant. This grant helped to substantially lessen the load of our startup expenses (delivery van, batch freezers imported from Italy, espresso machine, gelato display cabinet, freezers/refrigerators, Dojo Cart) while we were becoming established in OTR. Of course, scooping a few cups of gelati along the way to you, our loyal patrons, helped to bring the rest together.

A very happy New Year.
