A few weeks ago in an Everything but the Sink article we mentioned the new gelateria that will be opening in the storefront next door to Urban Roots on Rhode Island. David Simpson, former partner at Dolci, professional server, and gelato maker extraordiniare is the owner, and he's planning to open his doors by November.
Gelato G's is the name, and Simpson and Urban Roots are working together to unify the storefront, lending beauty and value to the building by making updates and changes to the currently unoccupied space. The glass windows that lend great light and nice detail to the front of Urban Roots will extend over to Simpson's side of the building, and in addition to other interior improvements, the two businesses will be joined by an open doorway in the same way that Cafe Aroma and Talking Leaves “share” a space on the corner of Bidwell and Elmwood.
The shop will offer cappuccino, espresso and Simpson's remarkable gelato, and don't be surprised if Simpson's great relationship with the owners of Dolci results in a good selection of sweet treats as well. 
Simpson is also mulling over a lot of other ideas that may come to fruition in their own time, including the incorporation of an eclectic small plate menu and the installation of WiFi.
Stay tuned to YUM, we'll be sure to let you know the minute Gelato G's opens its doors.
