Flavors November 21 – November 27 + Free Gift Cards and New Coffees!

Here  are our flavors for the next seven days at Dojo. Needless to say it’s pretty much the start of the holiday season and we didn’t hold back. You deserve authentic and fresh gelati. You deserve explosions of sensory ecstasy. You deserve:

Mexican Vanilla

Vietnamese Coffee (sweetened milk gelato + locally roasted coffee from La Terza Roasterie)

Dutch Chocolate

Fluffernutter  (peanut butter gelato + toasted peanuts + marshmallow fluff)

Cranberry-Orange Sorbetto

Honey Toasted Almond

Cinnamon

Peppermint Patty (mint gelato + peppermint patties)

Lemon-Rosemary Sorbetto

Mascarpone & Wild Amarena Cherry (triple cream cheese gelato+ wild amarena cherries folded throughout. This. Will. Be. The. One. You’ll see.)

Pumpkin Spice

Porkopolis (maple gelato + bacon from Kroeger & Sons that we candy)

In addition to all the wonderful gelati excitement at Dojo this weekend, we are also taking part in Cincinnati Unchained, sponsored by BuyCincy.com. This Saturday at Dojo Gelato when you purchase a $25 gift card, you will get an extra $5 card for free. We are paying you to shop locally!

Also, and best yet, we are now providing Chuck Pfahler’s La Terza coffees at Dojo. For our cup o’ joe we are serving Daterra Estate’s Villa Borghesi, it is sustainably grown in Brazil and is Rainforest Alliance certified. For our affogatos and espresso shakes we are pulling shots of Terza’s house espresso blend, which has been a favorite of ours on cooler mornings at the Hyde Park Farmers’ Market when Chuck is pulling shots like the Bruce Lee of artisan coffee. Both beans are delicious and we are proud to support another independent business in Cincinnati.

See y’all soon!

Love, Dojo

Cincinnati Unchained + Dojo Gelato!

We are happy to announce that Dojo Gelato is participating in this year’s  BuyCincy’s Cincinnati Unchained. The event takes  place Saturday Nov. 21st throughout Cincinnati. Participating businesses are offering discounts, gifts and charitable donations during this annual campaign focusing on locally-owned businesses.

According to BuyCincy, “Every dollar you spend at a locally-owned business generates  approximately three times more economic activity than a dollar spent at  the typical ‘big-box.’ By choosing to shop locally-owned for just one day, we can help to improve Cincinnati’s economy.”  It’s sometimes a matter of convenience or habit to use the Internet or visit a mall, but shopping locally helps not only independently owned businesses, it also helps our city’s economy to keep growing.

Dojo Gelato is participating in this years Unchained event with a special offer on our gift cards. For every $25 gift card you purchase at Dojo on November 21st, you will receive a $5 card for free. Dojo gift cards can be used for any item at our store including hand packed pints, made-to-order gelato cakes/pies, and even toward catering events with our gealto cart. But the true reward in our offer is that you’ll not only be supporting a locally owned business with the purchase of a gift card, you’ll also be supporting a merchant at Findlay Market (Ohio’s oldest continually operated community market).
