Science Cream and Coco Gelato are two independent\u00a0caf\u00e9s doing ice cream differently<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Making

You\u2019ll find Science Cream tucked away in Castle Arcade. The independent ice cream parlour debuts a range of new seasonal flavours this week. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The menu includes quirky mixtures such as Toffee Apple and Ginger Treacle Cake. But Peanut Butter and Banana Jam is the favourite of general assistant Saneela Khan.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Discussing the variety of seasonal flavours, Saneela says, \u201cCinnamon\u2019s quite popular in autumn and winter. We do pumpkin flavour as well.\u201d <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Besides the variety of ingredients, Saneela believes that Science Cream\u2019s innovative use of liquid nitrogen enhances the quality of the final product. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Saneela describes the process, which customers can watch live at the caf\u00e9: \u201cThe nitrogen reduces the ice crystals that appear, making the ice cream much smoother and creamier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Coco

Another independent caf\u00e9 with its own unique twist on ice cream is Coco Gelato, in Cathays. Manager Marco Leeo thinks that allowing customers to design their own sundaes, crepes and waffles sets Coco Gelato<\/a> apart. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>He emphasises three key elements that keep Coco Gelato\u2019s customers coming back for more: \u201cPeople have got a choice. They can build their own. It\u2019s a combination of [this], the quality of the product, and we work hard.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Marco highlights their focus on sourcing Italian ingredients as the key component in creating authentic gelato. <\/span>Supervisor Ricardo Salimeni adds that the ice cream is \u201cfreshly made every day,\u201d to produce the best flavour. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Both Saneela and Marco are proud of the originality of the businesses. Saneela says Science Cream remains \u201cthe only one in Wales that [uses] liquid nitrogen.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Marco says: \u201cCoco Gelato is independent. We do things our way.\u201d Just like the do-it-yourself desserts they offer to customers.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Be it via unique ingredients or mix-and-match menus, Cardiff\u2019s independent caf\u00e9s continue finding new ways to carve their own niche in the local market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
