For me the sign of a true city has always been Starbucks and gelato. Every major city I’ve ever visited has had ample offerings of both and Detroit is making progress in each area. Earlier this summer I discovered this adorable little gelato stand in Campus Martius. The Gelato Shoppe is managed by the Fountain Bistro, the park’s signature restaurant, and employed by high school/college students. I couldn’t resist asking a couple questions after ordering a scoop of Cookies & Cream. Luckily, Claudia was willing to oblige my blogging habit.
