If the cruel temptations of the Play-Doh Fun Factory taught the world anything, it's that mouthwatering creations are more gratifying when they're actually edible. Swoop into a scoop of icy eats or a tall caffeinated treat with today's delicious Groupon to Bottega Italiana. Choose between two options, good at two Seattle locations, or buy one of each:

• For $5, you get $10 worth of handmade gelato.
• For $5, you get $10 worth of Italian coffee drinks.

Bottega Italiana's signature gelato and coffee drinks bond seasonal and specialty flavors with the traditions of the artisanal Italian kitchen. Prepared daily with natural flavors and hormone-free milk, Bottega's handcrafted gelato (small, $3.30; medium, $4.40; large, $5.50) waltz across the tongue in a velvety swirl of fresh fruit and rich chocolate. Matchmake a luscious scoop of fresh pistachio gelato with the gianduia (chocolate hazelnut), cassata (currant), or tiramisu. The seasonal mela verde (green apple) will purse lips with creamy delight, a characteristic also carried in the DNA of the fichi (fig), frutti de bosco (mixed berries), and cocco (gangly late-night host) flavors. Dairy-free and vegan options round out the gelato superteam.

If arabica coffee bean aromas perfume your dreams, indulge deserving senses with Italy's world-renowned illy-brand coffee. A 12 oz. coffee ($1.75) or cappuccino ($3) can smooth away any day's snags. Bottega Italiana's eco-friendly integrity extends to its wondrous wares. All gelato are corn-syrup-free, and all gelato cups are biodegradable, while the coffees are all grown sustainably and promise not to steal your boyfriend.
