Welcome to Maplewood Gelato, the newest gem in Crystal Beach, Ontario, where fresh, small-batch gelato and specialty candies await you! Located at 418 Derby Rd., this delightful shop is owned by the dynamic duo, Amber and Mike, who bring creativity and passion to every scoop.
From Idea to Gelato Haven
Amber and Mike saw the potential in a charming space on Derby Road and decided a gelato shop would be the perfect fit. Despite not knowing how to make gelato initially, they drove all the way to Washington, D.C. to get a gelato maker and embarked on a journey of discovery. It turns out, Mike had a hidden talent for crafting exquisite gelato, and the rest is history.
Crafting Perfection in Every Scoop
Maplewood Gelato is known for its attention to detail and dedication to quality. Everything is made from scratch in-house, ensuring that each batch of gelato boasts the perfect texture and flavor. Amber and Mike’s commitment to creativity means you’ll find unique and exciting flavors, from cucumber lime sorbet to their take on a Snickers bar, featuring an almond base, Belgian chocolate, salted peanuts, and house-made caramel.
A Hub of Community and Fun
Crystal Beach comes alive in the summer, and Maplewood Gelato is at the heart of it all. With the street often closed for events, bands playing, cornhole games, and a lively atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing gelato. Amber, who went to high school in the area, has seen the town rejuvenate and is proud to be part of its revival.
More Than Just Gelato
Maplewood Gelato isn’t just about delicious treats. The shop offers a sense of community and camaraderie. The local shop owners are friends who work together to create a welcoming environment for visitors. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, you’ll feel at home in this friendly, vibrant neighborhood.
