Inside curved glass cases at Alice’s Ice Cream Emporium, the colorful crests and waves of gelato tempt the eye with their garnishes of fruit and cookies. The creamy confections, which are made fresh daily, are scooped into either the familiar cups and cones or more elaborate creations, such as brownie sundaes, cookie sandwiches, and scale-model Ferraris made out of cups and cones. The staff serves their treats amid the emporium’s playful décor, characterized by colorful pieces including a long row of purple booths and small chandeliers against one wall. Magenta and green chairs cluster around circular tables, where staffers drop off steamy espresso drinks, hot paninis, and caprese salads.
