A new family-owned gelato and sorbet shop just opened in Edmonton
You might be familiar with Shooby’s Gelato, but its new storefront is definitely something you haven’t seen before.
Shooby’s Gelato is a family-owned, locally made gelato and sorbet that has a story going back 40 years. While it has been bringing authentic family-inspired gelato to our community through markets, the business flourished, and it was time for the brick-and-mortar shop to come into fruition.
“Nonno started making gelato the way his mother taught him: real fruit, slow churn, and the kind of patience that only comes from doing it for fifty years. We didn’t want to reinvent that. We just wanted to bring it across the ocean,” says the team.
All the small-batch gelatos and sorbets are made in-house, with the team saying, “If it sells out, it sells out.” In addition to this, it uses authentic ingredients, such as double-processed cacao, nut pastes from Italy, and fresh fruits.
“Every family has a recipe nobody’s allowed to change,” adds the team on its website. “Ours is gelato.”

The shop opened on June 5, and since then, it’s been taking the city by storm. There’s truly no better time to open the shop, either, as summer is in full swing.
In terms of flavours, it obviously has some of the classics. Strawberry, Vanilla, and Lemon can all be found right next to delicious options like Tiramisu and Dulce De Leche.
As for hours, it’s open on weekends. 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays, 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays, and 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays. This means if you’re looking to get a cup, you’re going to have to head out on one of these three days. In my opinion? Totally worth it.
Grab a scoop from the city’s newest shop; you definitely won’t regret it.
