Our story
Our journey began in Bologna, Italy, studying the traditional methods of gelato production. The goal: to create a world-class gelato right here on Vancouver Island. The result is a mixture of traditional and innovative flavours, made fresh daily, drawing inspiration from Italy and the West Coast.
Our commitment
We value using as many local producers and artisans as much as we can. We work hard to network and source what is growing, roasting, and brewing in our community to become a part of Vancouver Island's and BC's flourishing food culture.
​
We are also committed to taking care of our planet. Many of our products are organic, Fair Trade, Equal Exchange, and/or sustainable. We also use compostable gelato cups, spoons, coffee cups, sleeves, and lids!
Our team
Cold Front Gelato co-owners, Kate and Geoff Cram are passionate about their craft, providing quality, from-scratch products and innovative ideas in the food industry.
​
They're also co-owners of Vancouver Island's award winning bakery - Old Town Bakery, in Ladysmith, as well as the popular gluten-free bakery, Wild Poppy Market, also located in Ladysmith.
​
The Cram's are proud to provide a safe space for gelato lovers to unite. Their team values inclusivity, kindness, and respect.
Our gelato is made from Vancouver Island milk & cream and plenty of locally grown fruits, herbs, nuts, and locally crafted artisan products. Below is a list of some of these incredible suppliers.
