The Gelato Workshop

A lovely gelato store nestled among Birkenhead’s many cafes and restaurants that is open late in the summertime. Ran in to check the opening hours and the lovely person behind the counter said she would wait up for me and friend– how neat, even though we weren’t going to be too far along after dinner a few doors over.
Crafted in house with many interesting and beautiful flavours– they have a lovely in-​store seating area next to a stand-​out doodle wall. Wanted something refreshing and they have many fruity things– after several tasters went for their summer-​fresh blood orange in a cup. Lovely colour and more delicious. Friend liked her choice also. Hard to go wrong really.
Looking forward to stopping by again to sample other flavours and to take another cup or cone away on a balmy afternoon. Intrigued by the Red Bull gelato and other more sweet, chocolate-​y ones!

Brand spanking new and well worth a visit!
Nestled in the Brikenhead shops, you’d be forgiven for not noticing The Gelato Workshop at first glance. It’s one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it jobbies. Let me tell you though, it’s worth driving round the block for…
What’s cool about The Gelato Workshop is that they make all the ice cream on site — pretty impressive given the size of the shop — and although they’ve only been open a short time, they seem pretty keen to throw out some interesting flavours. Think along the lines of bubblegum or candy cane and gingerbread for the festive season.
On my first visit, I found it near to impossible to choose, but after several tasters, just couldn’t go past gingerbread. It tasted so authentic, as though they had just put a coupley wee gingerbread men in a blender? Maybe they did. Regardless, it was off the hook and v. generous for a single scoop. So much so that I had to lick and drive in order to make it to the park down the road without spilling.
Looking forward to heading back and trying more flavours. Keep an eye out on their FB page for deets on new flavours!
